End o' holidays

Meep. I've got about 6 days left of the school holidays, before starting Grade 12. What a fun time this is...

On the topic of all my projects, I seem to be looking at them all the wrong way, and seemingly ending them without any real results. The only actual project I'm working on at the moment is the biodigester, and it feels like that's not going to get very far anyway, without a great use or anything it'll end up just sitting and fading to nothing like all my other projects. Ah well, if you're reading this because it mentioned biodigester, good luck, hope you have a good use for it in mind.

What a fun post this was, ah well. I'm in that kind of mood.

Waiting...

Well, just got the card from the post office telling me I have a parcel waiting, shall get that tomorrow and see what I got! I'm so far rather disappointed with Electronic Goldmine, as it appears out of the 6 IRF640 I ordered, only two were in stock so they only sent the two (luckily, as those two MOSFET's drove the order, hopefully I don't kill any of them), and did not notify me of any change in the order, not give a refund as far as I'm aware (albeit not a large loss) of the 4 that weren't put in the order. Hopefully the parcel of awesome changes my opinion of that.

On another note, school is tiring... Got block exams coming up next week, and the teachers are piling on the revision, getting so sick of all things school after spending most of my spare time revising (when I can convince myself to do it, that is).

Got two views the other day, pretty happy about that, good to see the tags are working, although not sure what relevance a dental implants website has to my blog? Ah well...

Busy

Well, so much for trying to post often and get an audience. School is having fun with the numerous assignments and exams coming up, so I'm finding less time to be able to procrastinate... Oh well, so far it doesn't appear that I have any readers, ah well...

Coming soon, projects include a photo-interrupter switch (woo, nice and simple), and possibly a pressure switch of sorts using a pressure transducer from a smart drive washing machine. (these use a ferrite bead mounted to a diaphragm which changes the frequency the coil around it resonates at, according to the movement of the bead)!

Also, still waiting for my Goldmine order to ship, guess it takes a while to pack in all the stuff...
