Bizarre but fun! You should build something to keep you from music making :p

I need a shack! Had a neighbour text me about the noise and it wasn't even loud. I hate living in a flat.....

Hehe. Some neighbours are worse than others. I don't mind a little life in my neighbourhood. And so does my neighbours. I often play loud music (el. guitar or making dance music) with windows open hehe. Gotta harden the neighbours a bit :D hehe.

...of overtime BEFORE the vacation, not afterwards. Then the workload won't pile up at all, and we all win! yay! Antix - that's why u got more mb6582s than me :P

LOL TB.

Unfortunately I work a lot but the money is less than I expect....no Virus for me this year :(

What's up everyone? I've been away for months, too, after a busy spring and summer of building. Still not quite ready to stafrt building again, but hopefully soon.. month or so.

You etch at home? or doubleside?

Irony!

Oh, your bankstick project gave me the idea! It was just a training project for me. Never really intended for release. Your bankstick looks awesome!

Naiss!

Blue cloth is gonna be a while it seems :). This takes some time to finish :).

Ahh, more pics to come in a couple of moments :) Case model almost complete. Due to be finished tomorrow!

agreed, only the early mornings are a pain :) but ultra-strong coffee to the rescue :)

Coffee no worky - only the thought of getting off work and solder again works :P

it's hard when you work at home. Procrastination with soldering iron =)

I recently bought one from Voti:

http://www.voti.nl/shop/catalog.html It's the Wisp648 kit for 32,- euro's. It's a kit with usb but no target PIC socket but lose end cables. Succes

Guess i got lucky, i picked up a used Pickit2 on ebay awhile back.

I have an USB programmer that can do 452 but not 4685. I could send it to you if you didn't find an alternative allready. I built myself a Brenner 8 so I don't need it any more.

Try not to rush it. It is much harder to find and correct any errors than to double check everything during building.

Nopes, rushing isn't a good idea :). I just soldered a pic socket the the wrong way... not the biggest misstake, but certainly enough to slow down even more!

I soldered some resistor arrays the wrong way on my MB6582, that's worse.

Heheh! :-)

Yep, very true. Too bad I can't bring too much into norway... :P Guess that is different within EU.

Nowadays it is. In clean-cut Sweden at first the paternal politicians tried to whip us all into the old rations quotas. Screw that. And screw cheese tax ;) Tell u what, if I ever pop by I'll drive some small forest road and fill my car with Falukorv, beer and booze!

Hehe nice! Good thing border between norway and sweden aint like USA and Mexico :P

Yeah, J is right. I would rather have a PC, and I have pre ordered the raspberry pi some time ago, and that will probably become the real media center when it is up and running. Meanwhile I'm pretty happy with the samsung all-share thingy ;).

Right now I'm trying to minimize the stuff I have under my TV, because the kid is too fond of remote controls and cables nowdays :P. But the PI can be attached behind the tv with dualsided tape :P hehe

I intend to get a Pi to replace my car stereo. I may end up using another as a home media player - if I can persuade it to run MythTV frontend.

Interfacing like a baws!

:) Finally I got it in my hands, been going back and forth about buying an interface, and back and forth on buying this one for a long time. So it's a extremely well thought through purchase. Still it hurts. It's fun saving money, not so fun spending them all. Need to save more now - like the feeling of some bucks in the pillow :P

You´ll love it, good choice for sure :)

Nice one! All I'm saying is don't let the kids see if you pass Flensburg in a car... Doesn't compute in English, but the cheese made there isn't nice...

hehe

Huh? What's outrageous? :-)

bondage in the workshop :)

hehe :). At least, I have the right tools there... Sky's the limit :D

btw. when we are talking old movies, you´ve gotta rewatch blade runner final cut in hd - awesome! :-)

dude, I actually never saw that movie (all of it). Oportunity never presented itself, but I thought of it many times, so nao I have to visit the .x264 online store :D hehe.

Hehe, yeah those cigs are nice. Just sucking the goodies through those long filters will give u all the lung capacity you need alone :D.

A+ for the effort and being cool! Needs moar school uniform ;)

Yeeaah! That was great! :)

maybe if they mixed in dobly, you could hear the lyrics better...

its called Murphy´s Law (which in fact again only emphasizes the concept, that you note the things that have gone wrong more than the things have gone right, e.g. that your kid did not wake up at 3.00 am screaming "daddy, i cannot sleep, can you?" :)

Mmm, I still hadn't gone to bed at 03:00 this morning. So, I'm Murphy resistant. Us undead ppl never sleep.

Hehe hawk, I guess you're right. But still... :D

OMG!!!

Yello <3!

wow.. this is the coolest thing you can possibly do on christmas :D

I could not resist. Now I want a car. :D

Ha! Mid-life crisis already or just lusting for a summer car?

Hehe, I sure hope it's not a mid life crisis yet. I'm saving that for the boat :P. Hehe. I grew up with cars in the garage, and have rebuilt a couple myself, and I always wanted a toyota mr2 - mk2 of course! So yesterday I told my wife I'm printing out a picture of it to know what I'm saving my money for hehe, and she had to agree it was really nice, but wondered if I was too old for having a car like that.... WTF? No IM NOT!!

Yes, there is actually... It's two steps. Step one: Get lots of money from a guy who u barely met, step two: Go to webshop of ur taste and order the laptop. ;). that's the short version :).

Can you elaborate on how step one was done? :D

Hehe. Yes I can, but I'm not sure it fits the profile of this site, so u got to ask me privately, and then maybe if I know u well enough, u can haz the entire story :P. lol

News is that today the repair shop concluded that this didn't happen at their bench, therefore not responsible. bla bla bla. Now I'm dealing with the shop I bought the card from. I have written off the data as lost, and now treat it like a normal guarantee case... So I guess that's it. Too expensive for me to get a pro to retreive any data. Not end of world, but still a taste of the sour apple...

I kinda get it too, if they refuse that they had anything to do with it breaking, what can one do..? It's my word against their word, and for all they know I could have been placing a faulty card in there to make em pay for getting my data. But I guess I will never ever trust anyone with my data - frankly - I should've known better.

yeah, and your word are ''light'' against their... i'm qfraid the only thing they will purpose to you is a simply replacement of the card... and I know how much the ''pro'' company charges to recover data on damaged storage (i lost a full disk of personnal data last year...)

Good luck !

hehe, let´s hope she does not read this :)

Don't incite the rebellion :D

Don't wake the mob huh? :).

I couldn't get the Win7 sharing to work.. so I built myself a 6TB NAS server to share my files between my various machines

Yep, that's what waiting for me too. Maybe not 6GB, but maybe 4gb. But several other things are more pressing (for my wallet) than a NAS right now, but soon. I have a server, but it's outdated - hardware is old, so I was planning to use it for gateway instead now.

@techno: sure, nothing wrong with a fresh OS. hope you'll find a solution to that problem soon.
