Solder is cheap. Especially non-ROHS

Naw, for the sake of peak currents (the power transistor/diode form part of a bridge, remember) I have tinned the tracks very heavily, and also because it guarantees the copper will not corrode. =D

Yes, it was excessive. I'll also admit that I couldn't find my flux and therefore had no way of tinning the boards nicely, so I tinned them... not nicely, instead. =) hehe

I thought the same way as Firkragg.

But I see your point now. Makes sense.

not one of mine (oh man I wish it was though), but still worth noting... As the name suggests it is a huge copper vapor laser, about 100w output power. The guy in the background reminds me of my dad a few years ago

But to prevent breaking the thread rules I will post this very disturbing pic of my thumb a year ago to the day

And to break my train of thought away from your mangled thumb, I shall post a godawful pic of me at work:

So, what actually happened to your thumb? I'm glad the thumbnail grew back!

I was splitting a 2x4 into kindling when I missed by just about .2500"

I would post a pic of me at work sitting next to one of the 50ghz network analisers or my 21" monitor with the part I have been designing in solidworks, but the room is somewhat classified (us citizens only), so I can't

I will on the other hand post a pic of my rifd badge to get in the room (or any other room in one of the 7 buildings that makes up the Alhambra branch of Ortel) on monday when they finally give me one

woohoo, thought i'd post some pictures from around my house whilst I was waiting for the kettle to boil.

First up is my bedroom - or my computer corner. Main rig is an Athlon 2600+, one to the left is an IBM 233Mhz Pentium. Scopes are a Hameg 60Mhz and an RS 20Mhz both 2 channel

Second - My work bench in our hideously messy garage. Spot the coils...

Third - Can anyone beat this? The garage is literally filled up with crap, 90% of it is my dads, and it really is rubbish that never moves. I would love the space...

Forth - Dads bench in the garage. seriously...

stuff collapses all the time in there. As for the motorbikes - the two you see in the second pic can still be taken out, but it takes a while to make a clear path out for them. The other two in the third pic are well and truely trapped - ie you can't see them. If you look at the bottom of the third pic you can see the headlight and part of the fork leg for one of them, that's a vintage Velocette. The other bike is behind that one, my old Honda 125cc

Here's a cool picture I took a while ago when the Zapcat powerboat racing was on. I was using an old Pentax manual lens on an ist-DS digital body, and Pentax try real hard to hide the fact that the auto exposure totally stops working in that case

I took this one on the same day with the same gear. Again it was sheer luck to get a usable exposure considering the brightness range of the scene. I guess with hindsight I should have shot it as RAW. Can you see the silhouette of the left-hand guy against the crane? It might just appear totally black on some monitors.
