June 21, 201214 yr Author comment_521654 Make sure to stretch really well before your routine Jim! That in itself would likely land me in the hospital. don't forget to go to The Old Fashioned while you're there! I've been lobbying! Peter ended up with 3rd in his flight and 8th overall in double-mini. He doesn't compete again until Saturday on trampoline. Report
June 21, 201214 yr comment_521657 Congrat to Peter! Plenty of time for you to drink before his next event. Report
June 22, 201214 yr comment_521724 I'm just jealous that he gets to be in a "flight". That's awesome. It's like a trip of goats -- a flight of acrobats. Or whatever. Congrats! Report
June 22, 201214 yr comment_521751 Summer lacrosse league practice today and now helping Mary and Emily pack for their 10 day community service trip to a New Mexico reservation. Ten days of me and the boys hanging out at the homestead. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize in advance for any lame, loco drunk posts you may be subjected to from June 23rd to July 1st. Edited June 22, 201214 yr by Augsburger Report
June 22, 201214 yr comment_521827 Finally got one of my major parts shipments for my Dynalo/Sigma build. The large poly caps ended being too large and I might whip up some clever contraption to connect them. Now I just need to get the Sigma22 board, some caps, RK27 and all of the transistors from AMB until I can proceed. In any case soldering was massive fun. Hadn't had so much of it since I played with my Lego for the last time. Other than that- had the solstice celebration in my work where we had some really nice chicken shashlik. As I don't drink beer (it's really a blessing in disguise sometimes) I didn't have as much fun as some did, but well... I had my fun when I got home and fired up my soldering rod. Report
June 22, 201214 yr comment_521831 Rudolfs, You might save some time and money on the sigma22 by getting a kit from Jeff Rossell at Glass Jar Audio... http://glassjaraudio.com/product.sc?productId=3 I know he will allow kit configuration to an extent, so if you already have a transformer, etc. he would probably work with you on that.

June 22, 201214 yr comment_521833 I have already all the parts with me or on the way to me for the Sigma22. I did know about the GlassJar but I wasn't sure about getting another overseas supplier. Also all the parts for my Sigma22 have been selected according to the instructions on the AMB site. I'll be sure to double check all the voltages before powering up anything. One thing that does bother me is that polypropylene cap I got for my Dynalo. There is no way I can mount it on the board (27.5mm lead spacing) so I might glue it to the chassis right next or under the PCB. I would then solder sufficient lead extenders and hope for the best really. These were the smallest 4,7uF polyprops I could get and getting them back might not be worth the hassle. Maybe I'll be able to sell them locally. Report
June 23, 201214 yr comment_521928 For the 4.7uf caps, I don't think polypropylene is required. I believe the std. cap for this is a Wima MKS. As you discovered, polypropylene in 4.7uf will be large. Report
June 23, 201214 yr comment_521950 Needed to relax a bit so after a three day symposium in Bonita Springs spent a few days in Sanibel Island. Not the best time for swimming but all the snow birds were gone! http://picasaweb.google.com/109437154048....COvB-_neju-E3AE Report

June 23, 201214 yr comment_521998 Cool Dan. We are going to be running on some big iron soonish if all goes well. Sort of excited to do that we have 48 cores right now for development work but I have never run on a real T500 supercomputer. Report
