i just want to chime in and say, all that stuff is seriously cool

i'm great with software and other things, but when i see anything with electric wires and contacts in it, my first thought is "will it hurt my finger if i touch it?" :lol:

Goodnight kazanscube,

Thanks for checking out my stuff, glad you like the camera. It has a little lag, not bad, like when someone knocks on my door right when I hear the knock is usually when the image updates. I am getting the new Pi camera to try and fix that. Also I use a better lens, one thats made for that kind of viewing.

With basic stuff, your body has natural resistance. That doesn't mean its a good idea to grab hold of a huge capacitor, that will probably kill you but honestly you can touch most leads up to say 20 or so volts and you won't feel anything. Also voltage doesn't kill people, current kills people. To prove this point, take a really small gauge wire and run a lot of current through it. It'll get hot and if you over did it, it'll melt regardless of what the voltage is. I can hug and kiss my 12v out on my bench power supply and nothing happens, I would not recommend doing that anywhere near its capacitors or the AC side of things.

With most house hold electronics, you would have to try very hard to electrocute yourself if your following safety rules but it can happen with the 120 volts in the wall and from capacitors that hold power even when a device is off. Things get much more deadly when you deal with outside power which in the US runs at 240 volts and it will make you fly across the room.

Imogen Poots is my new celeb crush. She's smokin' hot, and she has a hilarious last name.

Why are pizza boxes square when the pizza itself is round? :chin:

Why are a group of grapes simply called a "bunch" would it kill you to count them? :chin:

Well PTSD sucked but I distracted myself by installing Arch Linux on my Thinkpad, my goals were good fan control and an encrypted drive.

Now for the best part, installing an awesome theme. I am on mate so I am doing SlicknesS which is the best gtk 2.0 theme ever :mrgreen:



You've got some pretty cool gadgets (but you've got a little hard drive lol :) )

Don't tell me you're into Lego?!

You look like the sort of person we could have fun together.

I might as well turn this into an "Im AnAspie Update"

Last night, I installed FreeBSD 10.3 on my i7 X220 thinkpad. Having trouble getting iwn0 to go but apart from that, even my Logitech cordless K800 keyboard and Performance MX mouse work without any faffing about.

I got a piece of perspex (or angle grinder disc) in my eye on the weekend. Went to the docs today. I look like a pirate.

I might need to go to horse piddle.

Here's Boo today - very tired!

Okay, chat later. I figured it might have been an SSD. I've got 2 OCZ vertex 2 (SATA II) drives sitting around gathering dust. Thought about putting them in a RAID 0 configuration but even in RAID, I don't think they'd be faster than any of my SATA III 6Gb/s drives.

I bought a Seagate 6TB Archive drive (you can't boot from it unless your rig has UEFI. It's SATA III 6Gb/s. I thought it's speed was going to be crap which would have been alright. I only want it for backup but MY GOD it flies. I'm gonna get the 8TB one soon.

That's the good thing about being me.
I know what I meant. I don't need to explain anything to me.

So I am back, when I get into stuff, I go hard. I was working on chemistry and cooking because YAY I finally got a special interest in cooking and playing with substances lol. Not to say I am cooking meth, you know, there are plenty of legal ways to cook up some interesting stuff. You know like lava lamps,



Anyway I won't say what I was doing but it seems to have worked so :mrgreen:

Back to the topic.

I love legos, I have built several lego things, lets check em out
