and here I am at the lab.... no problems

I just edited on the wiki and posted this reply... And there are still unread posts... And I went through over 20 pages of unread posts just over a week ago... Now I'm going to restart my browser and see if I'm still logged in... And then try from another PC. I'll post again in an minute. If you're going to post a "yes there's a problem" post, can you tell us whether my procedure above has been attempted as yet?

I hadn't noticed ;) Where should I move this?

Nice work on the keys! Tip for the spraypaint - do big long smooth strokes, moving the can across the keys as fast as you can, to spread the paint thin... and leave a good amount of time for the paint to dry between 'coats' - but 'coat' is a bad word, because if you do it thin enough it won't cover the keys until you have sprayed several layers, which should take a couple of days if you leave enough time between them.. If you're in the know (actually you can probably buy them online these days LOL) you can find a store that sells paint to graff writers, and they may have what we call 'fatcaps', which have a huge spray radius. You have to be careful that you don't get a cap type that also sprays high volumes of paint as well as a large radius, because that's good for finishing the piece before Jake roll up but not for painting a midibox ;)

I've heard of several instances where an opto has just died for no reason, in use, long after soldering. They just like to f*ck up ;)

I'm using a few different PC's and not having any issues... Tried it from three of my friend's machines today, none of which had ever visited midibox.org, and all good. Try this, in this order, don't skip any steps, etc: Log out of the forum (use the link) ...Repeat on all your PC's before continuing. Log in ...Repeat on all your PC's before continuing. Log out again ...Repeat on all your PC's before continuing. close your browser ...Repeat on all your PC's before continuing. start it up again. Don't load any midibox pages. ...Repeat on all your PC's before continuing. delete your cookies ...Repeat on all your PC's before continuing. clear your cache ...Repeat on all your PC's before continuing. close your browser ...Repeat on all your PC's before continuing. On the first PC: start it up again browse to www.midibox.org follow the link to the forum log into the forum Then repeat for each of your other PC's I know that seems a lot, and it is, and honestly most of it will not be necessary...but all of this is a necessary procedure to be sure that the problem is with the forum and not with your PC(s) (which I'm almost sure it is)

I was sent this in an email from a friend... Those of you who do not speak English as your first language, this is for you :D You Think English is Easy??? Can you read these right the first time? 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present . 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row . 13) They were too close to the door to close it. 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail. 18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear. 19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend? Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all That is why, when the stars are out, they are visib le, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. PS. - Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick" You lovers of the English language might enjoy this . There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP." It's easy to understand UP , meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report ? We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP . We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP ! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP , you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP . When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP . When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP . One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP , for now my time is UP , so........... Time to shut UP .....! LOL!!

Sounds like a dodgy power supply man, just a tiiiny bit too low voltage. I get this occasionally if I bump the knob on my lab PSU. It doesn't go low enough to brownout reset, but the midi signal seems easily corrupted.

This post brought to you by the chatroom and New dB's Groupie creamtm... now with more dope-amine and our patented antistalkertron technology*. Get yours today! * May not actually repel stalkers

Nope. Have you logged out (use the link), cleared your cookies, restarted your browser, and logged back in?

OMG nils, amongst all that confusion last night, I did get something right! (use LATA) hahahhaha!

LOL. Last night Nils got to see me write code at half one in the morning and it was almost as successful ;) I'd highly recommend that you read the thread started by Northernlightx regarding his PSU designs, it's a wealth of information.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid forum mods ;D Actually there are lots of stupid questions, but you're not asking any :)

Do you have rectifiers and regulators stuffed? Have a search for 'brownout'...

Not really...there's only one that I can think of... Sometimes if I restart my browser and reload a thread from a saved session in FF, then I try to reply, it says something about "Session Verification failed". I have to go back, wait for the page to load, reload it, and then reply. That's not really bug so much as a browser cache fault... Ptitjes what is the error you recieve?

[me=Mrs. cosmosuave]plays a whipcrack sample[/me] hehehe such a versatile sound.

Hehehehe I'm not sure why this doesn't work... I'd remove my cookies and restart the browser....

Why not just upload the necessary app as required? It only takes a few seconds, probably faster than powering it off, switching PICs, and powering up again...

Did you know that you can attach pics to your posts? ;)

Heya. The current chat implementation is a solution to problems with using IRC, sorry. If it helps: 1) Use a tabbed browser 2) The icon flashes 3) Me too 4) Isn't it the same for flash? @wilba: FWIW you can use chatzilla as an IRC client within FF, so that helps from your angle... Not sure about other browsers though...

It'd be a custom app, but it may be possible... A datasheet is step #1 ...

Maybe you missed this long-standing tradition.... If I had a dollar for every unpatched/unpowered/uncabled in some way musical instrument I've seen...phew.... Slash in the November Rain video clip wins hands down though ;D

It's the Pink Panther's MIDIbox! ;) Nice drill work mate, the lines look really straight from here. Edit: Photos de ma midibox is a link to this page in French :)

Yay! Thanks TK. Either group 9 = us, or group 9 = everybody, but it works! ;)
