RGB LED Ring - 2nd prototype

30 Jan 2010 171
I got 4 boards from BatchPCB again, only this time 2 of them had broken traces. Fortunately they can be fixed as shown. This revision now supports auto reset and has a smaller spacing between the pads for the solder bridges. The next one will come with jumpers.

Top loader with en evil locking mechanism

A good machine, except for the thermal lockout mechanism. It just works too god. It effectively prevents me from filling the machine with hot water by hand.

Normally it locks the lid if the machine is running and/or the water is above 40°C. But you can trick this mechanism by pushing down the left plastic piece. Unfortunately it tricks you back and stays locked. Now you can't close the lid anymore!

A washing machine should not try to outsmart its user.

Why I had to tape the lid shut.

Well, you could call it snow too ;-) Having worked in science must be good for something. Even if it's just making up bloated titles. Oh, and buzz words must be in there as well.

Snow again...

I thought it was over for this year. I hate snow when I have to get out. Snow is only fun as long as I have a choice to stay in the warmth of my home.

Inexcusable loss of intensity

It was cold outside, so I kept the window shut at first.

Ice cold air and a little bit of moisture in the air make a perfect target for laser experiments. The first to calculate the frequency ratio and phase shift between X and Y will get a little something ;-)

Dead oleander

It's sitting in my living room right now, but I think it is dead. All leafs go brown. I'll give it another month.

Jan 07 2009: It seems that even the updated servers couldn't take the load ;-) A 100.000$ free giveaway day is just too tempting.

Someone at this online newspaper had a bit of fun. They removed it pretty quickly.

Lots of fireworks on campus. And some alcohol too. Everybody under 25 was heavily drunk it seemed.

2009 has been a pretty tough year for everybody it seems. I’ve had a big share of nasty setbacks myself. Let’s hope the next decade of the second millennium has more pleasant things in store for us. Let’s make 2010 the perfect year. Concentrate on what really matters to you and quit being somebody else’s dog. Bite back! The image was created with the 'Fireworkx' plugin of xscreensaver.
