Hi, my name is Willem, I'm a software developer from South Africa. I mainly write middleware and integration software in Java and C#

Discovered this forum on a google search, and very friendly very skilled folk on this forum have helped me out a lot

 

Welcome to the forums, Willem. We have a lot of talented members and interesting ideas.

 

Hi everybody!!! my name is Sony and i like this forum!! i´m from a little country from Central America(Guatemala) and well i like all about electronics and i came here to share my little knowledge and also share experience.

by the way.... i like that this forum has a symbol chart!!!

so nice to meet you forum! :lol:

 

Welcome guys,your Intro sound fresh keep It up you will get replys.
This Is one of the best sites on the Internet,knowledge from a wide
scope of opinion that you can relie on.Good Luck to you and all members.
Notice the excellent photo Information,close up detail.The future Is here.

 

Monday to Friday
School Work Home again and crash

Saturday
Work some more,
Possibly buy a beer. One quart bottle of Propeller would be all it takes to knock me out... so get some sleep.

Sunday

Decompress and breath.
Time with wife -
Hello Honey! Thanks for taking such good care of me and everything else around here.
Probably end up taking a nap.
Try and follow up on the important stuff we learned this week.

Nothing tricky so far at school but I am just upgrading my previous education.
It was funny to walk in on the second year students in their lab class. Because we share a common year with IT (no physics required) courses, they don't actually do much electronics until second year.

So I walked in and talked to Jake - the instructor and watched the second year students struggling with their first look at the resistor colour code.

Jake had mentioned that I should challenge for prior learning, and I was trying to decide what advantage that might have for me. After looking at that class of second years I asked what the toughest question the first challenge test would be.

He drew a resistor network with 2 Voltage sources and asked if I could tell him what the currents were in all the resistors. I told him it would take me 15 minutes. He didn't include the values for the resistors or I might have been tempted to work it out right there, I even asked if he wanted the answers worked out in terms of equations since he hadn't given resistor values.

But I realized what I needed to do was stop interrupting the other classes lab. I told him, "Thanks, I will talk to you later."

 

Potato, did you drink some of loosewire's hoose-a-luh-genic iced-tea?

 

Not crazy or hallucinating. Just out at 7:30AM and home again 7:30PM most days of the week.

I am mostly at school to get the Computer Side, and leave with the paperwork to go out and say, "Yes I can hook that up to your computer."

The early bird gets the worm. And, that is not nearly early enough. Don't you like what you are doing? I remember that once I missed a Saturday at the lab for a hot date. The professor called on Sunday to see if I had lost interest.

Your answer:

"Not in women, sir"

 

Who am I? 'Cogito ergo sum' or 'I think, therefore I am'

 

Who am I?

Why do you ask? Not feeling 'yourself' today?

Wait, I'll write a 64 pages synopsis to answer that question - just like Rene Descartes in order to conclude with that 3 words. hahaha

 

Writing is easy, making sense is hard. Writing something interesting to other people is harder.

I've never posted to this thread introducing myself, I posted here instead...

Howdy, just found this place

I highly recommend you to read Rene Descartes' work on 'Cogito ergo sum'. And then my post will make sense. He's a brilliant man, the same man who created the Cartesian plane and the father of modern Philosophy.

 

I'm final year student of B.E Electronics & Communication.

Looking forward to Embedded System.

 

Hi everyone, I was looking for the "introductions thread" mentioned in the notice I got when I joined:

"Hello tsmith2456,
Our records indicate that you have never posted to our site before! Why not make your first post today by saying hello to our community in our Introductions thread. Don't be shy! We're a friendly bunch here."

Said URL does not seem to work, or have I missed something, or has this thread replaced it?

Anyway I'm a veteran design engineer (graduated 1983!) working for a private company near Oxford in England. Found this site whilst googling for a solution to an op-amp follower problem I have (I shall be posting a question about it shortly, when I find the best place to post).

 

I suspect that feature may be a work in progress.

Welcome to the community. We will look for your question shortly - try the Projects section, at a guess.

 

Born in Palo Alto, and lived right "down the snout" of the Stanford Linear Accelerator (before it was finished). Built my first crystal radio when I was about 8. Got my ham radio license in 1972 in L.A., and moved to Alaska in 1976. Worked in high powered broadcasting for about 25 years, then worked for the UCLA department of Plasma Physics at Hipas Observatory, doing development engineering for ionospheric studies. Been pretty well continuously marinated in R.F. for 38 years.

Well I suppose I should say a little something here myself, (advance to page 12 to skip the intro and to get to my medical records)

AHH HA!

Im that guy.

I started licking 9v batteries at about 7 years old, then built my first crystal radio at around age 8 myself.

My father has always had an interesting job while I grew up which led to there being lots of interesting test equipment, shoulder mount FLIR camera's DUMB-Terminals (That I spent hours on..just typing and drawing ascii art.), breadboard's (the REAL kind not Bill Marsden's kind ) I have grabbed the wrong side of a soldering iron once or four-hundred times.

He was an apprentice at GE for a few years then after graduation (JHU) he started at JHU-Applied Physics Lab. Oddly enough, my mother (after we were all in school) got a job at a toroid winding factory.. That led to quite an education on my part.
As the factory started to close, they allowed her to work from home. So I had access to MILES of different gauge wire, and many sized cores (wound iron, baked) that I could wind my own transformers...pre-fessionally.

I have done stints in battery R&D, Graphic Art/Design, Carpentry/Woodworking, Metalworking, Advertising, Pushing carts at Home Depot, Serving my country, well country eggs , Model rocketry, computers, fast and slow food, stand up comic, local-rock-star, owned a recording studio, failed at figuring out women, and a few thousand other things.

Then on my 13th birthday, I found ACC! Hello all!

So that doc you mentioned dating in posts long ago must have been a pediatrician. Right? Or, was that someone else?
