Place and solder the 3 remaining 10k resistors.

Artsy mistake

Place the correctly oriented chip down and use you iron's tip to tack it down on a few corners. Load a bit of solder onto the tip to do so.

Place and solder the tiny potentiometer. Try not to get flux onto the wiper ring!

V2.0 alpha - assembly step #8

Place and solder the 560R resistor.

V2.0 alpha - assembly step #9

The illumination looks much more pleasant to the human eye. The camera's dynamic range is too limited. 15W CFL + 7W LED full blast

The bottom half is turned off. Assuming one is lying on the couch, it would only illuminate the brain-container. The top half on the other hand perfectly illuminates a book.

This is not the preferred mode of operation. It works best directed at a dark corner which then reflects / scatters the light into the room (assuming a white / lightly colored wallpaper).

The paper towel is used as a temporary (yet prolly permanent) insulation.

Arduino is down...

Give the server more RAM... a couple of Giga bytes should help. And if this should be caused by a DDOS attack, how about using apache's MOD_EVASIVE until things quieten down again?
