I bought a new oscilloscope off of eBay the other day. I’ve always had good luck with eBay and this purchase was no different. I ended up with a Tektronix 2246A; It’s a 100MHz analog scope from the late 80s. My last scope was an old 2 channel 20MHz scope made by Brunnel Instruments. Not sure when . . . → Read More: New Oscilloscope I got another shipment of electronic components from Digikey.ca the other day. Their ordering interface is crap. I spent many frustrating hours setting up order lists only to be confronted with the inability to combine them. Searching for parts is difficult, and all in all just a bad experience. But, they have a deal with Canada . . . → Read More: More Parts Opened up the laptop this evening and that’s what I was greeted with. No boot device… nice.

I somehow got started uploading crap to youtube… …ok, I can’t get embed to work right… I’ll try to figure it out one day. Finished the beer fridge for the shop quite a while ago, but finally got some time to put up a pic. Wife, always thinking of me, managed to acquire a fridge sized vinyl Pil sticker. Add in a modified tap handle for a door pull and you’ve got the ultimate shop beer fridge! Looks great eh?! (And yes, a . . . → Read More: mmmmm beer…. Well, I finally got around to doing a bit more work on the shop. It’s insulation time!! Here’s what 3 1/2 hours of work (and 3 beers) look like… There’s a bit of scraps… think I might actually be a bit short if this is the tailings from 1 wall. . . . → Read More: Shop getting warmer. But only slightly. I build a MAME machine a while ago, and promised myself I’d import the docs at one point. This is that point. Here is the Arcade entry from the old site.
