So update on the coffee machine replacement :) In the end I went for a Delonghi Delica 858. So far I've programmed its 2 cup option for the maximum 180ml which works out about 75% of a cup - that will do. It does blonde out but that's acceptable. The coffee gets ground once a week anyway and it...

I finished the main board, but I need some more components and missed 4k7 resistor yesterday.. Today... I had a little chassis time - this means I can crack on with the internals of the amp whilst the other components ship. Little tubes to the right are the 12ax7 pre-amp tubes.. just the...

Disembodied a large evergreen shrub with a large bramble heavily entwined to allow the garden more light. Next is finishing the tiling of the pond after frost destroyed the front plaster during winter. New plaster was made with SBR.

Galvanised hinges? Bathroom moisture/steam is going to make them possibly rust and that can colour the condensation.. on white shutters.. We were advised not to have shutters in the bathroom (we have them all around but the bathroom). Also don't sit on the loo with the window open on a windy...

Also that your share is not able to be diluted otherwise you'll end up with little value in stocks.

Crazy times. Had a mad rush to pull together the roadmap for this year and a rough business case (Q2.. this is what happens when you have two micro managing bosses that disagree with their asks). This place has no concept of measuring or tracking ROI which makes the finance folks really...

So this is the current proposed final layout of the new amp. There's a couple of issues I'm looking at how best to solve - you don't know until you've built it: 1) the output transformer is quite weak in the low frequency range, couple that with a 16R speaker and it could be quite thin...

I forgot to say - a reactive load will sound better than a resistive load. I'm intending to initially build and test with the two 8R 100W resistors I have and use for dummy loads but I'll make a 16R reactive load that's modelled on the G12M-65. They should be straight forward to make with the...

So yesterday: mowed lawn, cleaned pond glass, removed blanket algae, re plastered the frost damaged front of the pond - a mix of sand, concrete, 15 minute concrete and SBR to make a fast, sticky, waterpoof plaster that sets and then cures long term. Also did a run around to get the bits in the...

:D You could shink it if you used multiple separate boards that were verticle, with an amp head configuration you could put the valves side by side, thus your 4 valves then have a 2x2 look. You could even duct the air in to the base of the valve but that's a little OTT for 2.5W :D This weekend...

Behold the light and he said... nope shorts :D Not sure about putting the arm into the pond up to the shoulder.. It's not warmed up yet brrrr.

?? wearing shorts outside doing the garden.

Final package arrived :) ...just how micro is that output transformer!

You'd be shocked in how much data is leaked. Even just the TCP/IP connections get tracked, even if the internal data is encrypted. Logins -> registration -> name -> linkedin/social media use onto a device -> facebook Also places like MS/Apple etc all take URLs from your browsers as you search...

Not Amazon but DHL.. Germany DHL -> UK DHL -> Parcelforce DHL don't state it's with Parcelforce or that it's pending customs tax.. I had to google DHL and the status for someone on reddit to indicate it was with parcelforce. No Email, No SMS, no update and option to pay online as part of the...

I've not tried it.. more of a joke wine hat was bought for me but I suspect I shall not buy it myself :D

I did a stock check yesterday after buying some more BBQ wines and beer for this year. (*). I forgot the birthday party last year.. here's a list that I found.. Beer (750ml each, most around 8%) Le Fort 10%* Straffe Hendrick 11%* La Chouffe* Paix Diex* La Raoul 7%* Vieux Lille* Ch'Ti x2* Abbaye...
