00633 DIYFS FPCB talk

I'm giving a mini lecture about DIYFS FPCBs on Monday night at Nerd night in the pub opposite the town church. Looking back on what I'm going to be saying I can only imagine being met with blank staring faces and a growing sense of bewilderment.

'S pretty much how I look all the time.

In the meantime I'm trying to make a tiny, weeny smd die. Far more complicated than I ever imagined possible.

00632 Liverpool Street Photography

I have been mostly taking feelgood pictures in Liverpool:

With little success

00631 Space marine

I have mostly been painting space marines.

Like you do.

00630 Surface mountage

This transistor appears small next to a 1p, but considering that they are manufactured on a near-atomic scale these days, it's pretty massive.

Knowing that the world of technology is moving towards a miniaturised future, I am chasing hard to bring down the size of my stuff. By my calculations I will never catch up and in fact the bleeding edge of the technological revolution is leaving me behind at some speed.

I don't find that even slightly off-putting.

See?

       

This is an intervalometer for my camera, but it's so small I lost it.

00629 Workbench

I'm hoping to get hold of a fair bit of wood soon, so that I can get on with making some shelves with a mate from work. In the meantime I'm busy working on projects dressed in my pyjamas

And I'm an eight year old girl

00628 Boat floating

      

There's been a recent slew of boats rolling out of the shipyards here.

This last one's had a film made about it. I'm just struggling with the music before I publish it. The choice is whether to use music that I can find or to make it myself and risk it being really bad. The risk is coming in at around 95% certainty of badness.

00627 Switchies

So, basically throwies but with switches, right?

Nothing short of a power saving revolution.Bit weak around the solder joint where pins meet at 90 degrees mind, but as long as I don't give them to the kids.

Doh! I gave them to the kids.
