HP plz don't question my sincerity!

Kindly re-read my post -- it is your alacrity (i.e. 'passion') in this regard that I question...

It easy to say suggestions welcome but nobody likes negative criticism when it happens!

Are you now questing my sincerity? --- Vanity is not among my vices - impatience, however, is!!!

So I wait until I have whole context before I put neck on block

I'm working on it -- It's pure magic 'round here --- Now it seems there's an animal in the Garret - curiously it creates no mess, makes no sound and leaves no sign except chewing through 10 gauge electrical sheathing and devouring rat traps! --- Too bad Claymores are prohibited for civilians

Best regards

HP you can call it what you like but it comes down to you think I'm not in to it! Now I tell you that you are totally wrong! I am not lying when I said looking forward to these things important part of my thoughts! You should just see all the experimental circuits I'm trying for driver in spare time! I admit I have lack of enthusiasm about editing cuz I just want to be student! HP its not like I'm lazy or anything! If you want give me assignments then it should be experiments with circuits and radiation instead of clerical HP I'm gonna regret this but you need reality check when you say you aren't vain! Just ask the gent dressed in black clothes for10 years And don't start on him! I'm living proof how much you cared about him in years past and I say still do!

 

HP I'm gonna regret this

Hold that thought!

Just ask the gent dressed in black clothes for10 years

You mean a certain rotund (rotond?) gentleman whose name I have effaced from memory? Or had you five other pachyderms in mind?

I'm living proof how much you cared about him in years past

Isn't that special!

and I say still do!

What an Aleph believes...

What, you guys actually knew Johnny Cash ???

Oh! I can tell ya! - He's at least five times the man Johnny was (in the avoirdupois department, that is)

Hey @Aleph(0) --- If proofreading isn't your thing -- no problem - but Please point out any errors you see in a timely fashion...K?

Best regards
HP

 

HP That's terrible! He only got overweight and wearing black after _you_ showed him the door! Don't say none of my business it's my business just as much as yours and his! I as neutral observer I'm saying you both share equal in blame! Now I'm going to tell you something! He has never once said an unkind word about you! He totally blames himself for everything including your part of the blame! But you can't resist taking a swipe every chance you get! When the worst thing you can say is that he let himself go that should be telling you something! HP I say I'm neutral observer but not mean disinterested! I only neutral cuz caught in middle of two irresistible forces acting in opposite direction! Here's something else! I say you still care and too proud to admit it! It shows in so many ways and after all you catch radiation and HV bug from him! HP I saw him when he was at fallfest cuz you asked him to check it out for you! Now I'm asking would you do same for him? HP I'm so angry I want to say I don't know what he sees in you but that would be lying cuz you deserve each other in a good way! HP I am happy you said our mutual sentiment unconditional because we're blood relatives but now I'm saying unconditionality _not_ only for relatives! HP you like to say _life is too short_ for this and that so I'm asking how you justify wasting 10 years of happiness for stupid pride and total stubbornness!

@Aleph(0) --- I'll respond to this later!!! -- hold yourself in readiness!

 

You two do know others can read this, don't you?

 

He only got overweight and wearing black after _you_ showed him the door!

Swell... And I suppose when he drinks himself into an early grave that will be down to me as well? Moreover -- should you choose to recall -- it wasn't quite as simple as that...

I'm saying you both share equal in blame!

I suppose I should be pleased that you regard the matter as bilateral...

He has never once said an unkind word about you!

Respectfully, you have no way of knowing that! -- And... By the way... Didn't you imply he is complaining of my alleged 'vanity' (in post #222) - Or do I have it all wrong?

after all you catch radiation and HV bug from him

Aleph! -- I would deem it a personal favor would you make even minimal efforts toward preclusion of misreading of your posts! - Do you see the trouble with the above quoted text? --- 'HV' (High Voltage) is bad enough (owing to my distaste for the term 'Voltage') howbeit use of that abbreviation, in the above context (wherein you've drawn an analogy between enthusiasm and infection) is appalling! - Just appalling!!! -- Tho - I must admit - not entirely without its (unintentionally) humorous side -- Even so... --- And yes! My interest in EHT and, especially, 'non health field related' applications of X/Gamma radiation is a 'passion' acquired from the 'gentleman' in question -- though I fail to see the relevance of your observation...?

HP I saw him when he was at fallfest cuz you asked him to check it out for you!

I don't know why they bother anymore - Since the move from Lost Isle turnout has been abysmal! - last I was there it resembled a senior center on a slow day -- But yes! His 'gift' of a dysfunctional SWR indicator yet adorns a corner of my study table - while it is said that 'it's the thought that counts' - I suspect the thought was in lock-step with the offering

HP I'm so angry I want to say I don't know what he sees in you

In all honesty I've not worked that one out myself -- or, for that matter, vice-versa --- Still - there it is

I say you still care and too proud to admit it!

Well indeed I do care - more than I'll ever understand! --- It is for that reason that I ridicule his, as you put it, 'letting himself go' - Or, as I view it, his slow suicide!

So... Aleph? -- A brace of questions, if you please:

1) Why do you feel public fora are an appropriate venue for discussion of private family matters? Was it impulse or do I descry an 'agenda' at work???

2) Feeling as passionately (as I know you genuinely do) about the subject -- why the insistence upon maintenance of your 'numpty-speak' facade? Please note - this is neither a challenge nor insinuation!!! - but, rather, a straight question...

All the best
HP

 

You two do know others can read this, don't you?

Speaking for myself - Yes! Only too well Hence (at least) Ten of the thirteen 'mad smilies' affixed to my first response to Aleph's post --- Hey @shortbus (and any others eager for a return to topic) Please bear with us! -- I've merely to 'put the shine' on the current tutorial --- then it's off to a discussion of LOPT drivers in the next tutorial in the series...

In the meantime please accept my sincere apologies for the family 'soap opera' that @Aleph(0) has seen fit to visit upon this thread

Very best regards
HP

 

1) Why do you feel public fora are an appropriate venue for discussion of private family matters? Was it impulse or do I descry an 'agenda' at work???

Since you asked me I say you are easier to talk to in public! Your public voice is like 100 degrees warmer than private!

2) Feeling as passionately (as I know you genuinely do) about the subject -- why the insistence upon maintenance of your 'numpty-speak' facade?

It's gotten like habit and cuz plain talk now could sound less genuine because broken continuity Tnx for seeing sincerity! I say better to stay unrecognizable from writing style by personal acquaintances cuz _both_ of us were stupid to pick avatars that look too much like us

Respectfully, you have no way of knowing that! -- And... By the way... Didn't you imply he is complaining of my alleged 'vanity' (in post #222) - Or do I have it all wrong?

No he did not! I said it! Worst he ever says is that you think his sentiments for you are just gratitude because you saved his life and all that I know better and so should _you_!

Swell... And I suppose when he drinks himself into an early grave that will be down to me as well?

You're doing it again! He's not heavy drinker and you know it! If he died early death cuz of unhappiness it wouldn't be your fault but I'd say you could have prevented it!

Talking about decline of r.a.c.e.s. fallfest and expression of ingratitude aren't answering my question

Well indeed I do care - more than I'll ever understand!

It's about time you said it!

It is for that reason that I ridicule his, as you put it, 'letting himself go' - Or, as I view it, his slow suicide!

I suppose a few _kind_ words are out of the question?

'HV' (High Voltage) is bad enough (owing to my distaste for the term 'Voltage') howbeit use of that abbreviation, in the above context (wherein you've drawn an analogy between enthusiasm and infection) is appalling! - Just appalling!!! -- Tho - I must admit - not entirely without its (unintentionally) humorous side

Haha! No worries for you! But that could be _my_ fate if I don't pace my drinks

please accept my sincere apologies for the family 'soap opera' that @Aleph(0) has seen fit to visit upon this thread

Yeah, HP I know I'm one vile piece of work

 

cuz _both_ of us were stupid to pick avatars that look too much like us

The important point is that our avatars are demonstrably not images of ourselves! -- A fact that makes us notably "less stupid" than 99% of social network users! -- IOW don't lose any sleep over it!

Worst he ever says is that you think his sentiments for you are just gratitude because you saved his life and all that

Aleph, In all fairness I feel that's a rational concern! --- I want to belive there there's more to it than mere gratitude for doing my job -- moreover, such 'confusion' is hardly unheard of

I know better and so should _you_!

Perhaps - but then what I should know would "make a great book"

Talking about decline of r.a.c.e.s. fallfest and expression of ingratitude aren't answering my question

Sorry about that --- Yes! All things being equal I would do the same for him...

I suppose a few _kind_ words are out of the question?

If he died early death cuz of unhappiness it wouldn't be your fault but I'd say you could have prevented it!

I daresay you greatly overestimate my influence in this matter ...

Haha! No worries for you! But that could be _my_ fate if I don't pace my drinks

Indeed! -- Reckless behavior (or, rather, its potential consequences) is no laughing matter!!! --- Again, it's a no-brainier -- don't drink at conventions and their ilk! - Simple as that!

Yeah, HP I know I'm one vile piece of work

...And a martyr

So, Aleph?
Do we continue to publicly bicker over personal family matters --OR-- return to topic?

Hopefully
HP

 

I am eagerly awaiting the next installment!

 

I am eagerly awaiting the next installment!

THANK YOU!

How truly affirmation is the best motivator!

FWIW: The plan is to add an introduction and some refinements to the present (i.e. LOPT Prep) tutorial whereupon, following its transition to 'Projects', we'll begin another focused upon driver design/development (on this thread) -- Please accept my apologies for the 'snail pace' progress as of late - I expect more 'leisure time' (with which to work on these projects) in the immediate future! -- many, many thanks for your continued patience!

Most sincerely
HP

 

Are these coming from one of those software applications that computer generate random phrases? If so I think it needs some major updates.

What can I say? - Constructive criticism is always welcome! -- Seriously! We greatly value feedback -- especially in regards to the tutorial (currently post #208)

Do we continue to publicly bicker over personal family matters --OR-- return to topic?

HP I'll stop it if you do! I'm sorry only cuz I started it this time! Now I say you just cross cuz I decline proofreading duty HP there is _no_ topic until you working on tutorial again and I said that I happy to help with technical content just not proofreading cuz more cluless about grammar than you! HP how do I have center point at ground potential without electric connection to ground? I worried about that cuz ground wire inductance means it's no ground at all to ripple freq of 60khz and maybe damaging for other equip on same ground circuit?

Spinnaker if that's troll I'm saying you hooked me cuz rotten tomatoes still better than crickets any day!

 

Now I say you just cross cuz I decline proofreading duty

Nope!

HP there is _no_ topic until you working on tutorial again

I'll get to it ASAP -- if that's not soon enough you may have the 'honors'!

HP how do I have center point at ground potential without electric connection to ground?

The Idea is to create as much environmental interface (i.e. 'ground plane') as possible -- In some cases a direct earth ground may be appropriate -- but never connect any part of the EHT circuit directly to 'mains' ground!

I worried about that cuz ground wire inductance means it's no ground at all to ripple freq of 60khz and maybe damaging for other equip on same ground circuit?

That's a valid concern (and, I might add, an astute observation) -- FYI - There are those in the 'electrical community' highly critical of present 'earthing' practices on that basis...

Spinnaker if that's troll I'm saying you hooked me cuz rotten tomatoes still better than crickets any day!

Ain't it the truth!!!

As a dedicated reader of this thread, and a hopefully internet "friend" to both of you, you won't take this in the wrong way. But the two of you having private conversations about other things not related to the topic at hand, in public, makes it sort of embarrassing for me and I'm assuming others. Not trying to condemn but to explain how it seems( at least to me).

Many thanks for your forthrightness! --- Please know that I too was less than pleased with said 'expatiations' (Though honesty compels my confession that both Aleph and I got out of line) --Please rest assured that our 'family skeletons' are now safely returned to their closet and under lock and key!

As a dedicated reader of this thread, and a hopefully internet "friend" to both of you,

Thank you! I know I speak for Aleph when I say each of us regard you as a friend as well!

you won't take this in the wrong way.

On the contrary! Your honesty is genuinely appreciated! --- Again, I offer sincere apologies!
