Happy new Year everyone!
May your problems be shorter lived than your resolutions!

Someone's about to make an Ass of himself.

Bloomin heck, that's one hell of a scare. Thank goodness the hospital was only 10 minutes away. Don't forget to rest and look after yourself too. Pneumonia can move quick once's it got in, I got slammed with it as a kid, one minute I was a sniffly and slightly sputtery kid shopping with my grandpare...

There is notably more maths than TAoE, and no tables of components. I was lucky to get my copy cheap, because the spine is in poor condition. After beating them down, it cost £58 :( I will have to keep an eye out for a copy, I found a preview copy on google books and liked enough of what I allowed ...

The most practical way to investigate negative resistance is with a Lamda diode, which is made from an N channel JFET and a P channel JFET. I don't know whether they were ever sold as Lamda diodes, but they are easy enough to make up. They are much cheaper and more robust than TDs. Unfortunately, y...

With some skill and imagination it is possible to coax remarkable performance out of very unremarkable components. For example, one of my scopes has a 1700MHz bandwidth with only f T =200MHz transistors (BC107~=BC547) in the signal path. (There are three 2000MHz transistors, in the trigger circuit)...

ooooh Tunnel Diodes, now there's a term you don't hear much! Neat little things. It is quite a common subject of discussion in TekScopes and similar groups. Usually in conjunction with the phrase "where can I get". Apart from that observation, zenith has nailed it. (And welcome to the for...

Thats looks so much better!
Neat how you can't use Auto trigger for everything, that the designers knew auto doesn't work well in some situations and designed accordingly is clever stuff.

That's a smug mug right there!

Yes.

I'm having visions of piles of filter parts being placed on the Sectaries' desk for stapling.

The time scale on the side seems to be about the same pace I drink my coffee
Never had coffee as cold as -40 though. Don't live far enough south for those kind of shenenigans.

Oil in the filter that's bonkers, how to make a filter harder to clean in one easy step.

Oh yes the whole do as I want now or the murder needles come out look She arrived just after Halloween (somehow appropriate for a black cat), and proceeded to disappear. If I peeked into the right nook, I’d see her looking back at me. Given the arrival timing and her color, a Halloween related name ...

heat emitting devices and many things to bat onto the floor, workshops are cat heaven.
Your black lad/ ladette has got the imperious look down pat.

Well pinching my stool is a change from lounging on my laptop.
Helpful little blighters aren't they.

An optimist would say he's warming my stool up for me, a pessimist would say he being an cheeky little besterd
