The Expanding Man

Not really. The shirts weren't crisp on unpacking, but quite acceptable and didn't require ironing.

I just did 6 days with the tri-star. 3 pairs of slacks, 4 business shirts, 4 casual shirts, 2 pairs of leather shoes. It was a tight fit, but manageable. The trip was supposed to be 4 days, but got extended. Fortunately I packed the laundry detergent and portable clothesline. I'm loving this bag.

Could be the start of something beautiful.

I have the boards from Justin (KGSS and BH power supply). I'm having some trouble locating a BOM for both, a circuit diagram and a parts overlay image. So far, all I can find is this: http://gilmore2.chem.northwestern.edu/projects/showfile.php?file=gilmore2_prj.htm Any kind souls care to point me in the right direction?

More the grungy side to the Lips, less the trippy side. Hearing Henry Rollings acting out the speaking parts is a bit of a cack. Then:

I picked up these giant kebabs ready made from a butcher. Came out very nice on the BBQ.

Bugger that, I'm off to read some debates between Cardinals about the meaning of the Holy Trinity.

Please tell me more. I've had one of these aging for a few years now, just waiting for that special day.

Thanks -I'm sorted. I didn't realize the bottom panel could be removed independent of the pcb - it looked to me that my only access was to remove the entire pcb. Gotta love Japanese engineering!

The beautiful, low-fi mess that is:

[quote name='livewire' timestamp='1296289925' What gets me salivating though is the Barrett M82 50cal sniper rifle up top along with the 50 cal Browning M2 Bar belt fed on the far right. Coupled with some depleted uranium tracer ammo, that is some ultimate personal firepower.

I'm trying to change the power configuration of my SRM-T1 from 100v to 220 v. I have opened it up, and on the bottom side of the pcb is what looks to be a large black plastic switch. The underside of the pcb is marked 100v in the position the black switch is in, with 220 v marked in what would seem to be the position the switch can move into. The pcb seems to allow for about half a centimetre of movement. My problem - I can't slide what I think is the switch. I don't want to force it, in case I am wrong and break things. I haven't yet unscrewed the pcb from the chassis. Do you slide this, something else, or change the voltage in a totally diferent way? Pictures: What I think is the switch is the large black rectangle underneath the pcb. I am guessing, based on what is written on the pcb, that if it moves to the right of this position, that is the 220 v option.

I am about to give my newly acquired Tri-star it's maiden voyage. I'm heading off to Kalgoorlie, Western Australia for a three day business trip later today. The bag was a joy to pack, and is a quality product. I shall report back when I return. I'm looking to streamline as much as possible the taking of short 2 - 3 day business trips.

A very pleasant night of eighties synth pop on vinyl: Prince, Sign of the Times:

Is it Frankfurt?

Surprisingly well played & recorded!

Frogs have not done well since the introduction of the contraceptive pill. Women who take the pill have high levels of estrogen in their urine, which gets into the waterways and turns male frogs female. Sounds like these boys have found a haven for frog masculinity. Let them have some fun first before you exterminate them.

Three of these boards: http://etim.net.au/scart2arcV20/scart2arc2.htm I want to hook up a Sega Saturn, Dreamcast and Japanese Xbox360 to my arcade cabinets for some shmupping goodness. I need to research the scart cables & pad hacks required. And my Stax T1 arrived today from Japan.

My first experience of anything Can post 70's. Nice recording.

I've seen one in the flesh at my local BBQ store and it gave me a stiffy. I've had a Weber Smokey Mountain for a few years. This is a cheaper option. It does superb smoked pork, but takes about 20 hours to slow cook it. The materials, quality and finish of the egg are far superior, but the Weber is an excellent entry point.

Awesome. Hope you enjoy. Please post impressions. This is a combo I'm thinking of trying.
