20:11:14 <Halcyon_> Hey Steve :-D
20:11:28 <steve30> I want to go swimming later
20:11:46 <Halcyon_> YAY!
20:15:38 <steve30> I'd rather go to bed, but I have an appointment later, so I might as well go swimming before hand
20:15:51 <steve30> Maybe there'll be some cute boys to ogle :p
20:20:07 <Halcyon_> Hopefully

20:36:42 <Halcyon_> Gah, I hate sellers on ebay who use the term "working pull" as if it gives any kind of credit to their listing.
20:37:15 <Halcyon_> It literally makes them sound like a wanker
20:38:16 <steve30> Has more meaning than 'untested'
20:38:32 <Halcyon_> I would rather "untested" than "working pull"
20:38:33 <DogWomble> i'm not even sure what 'working pull' means
20:39:05 <Halcyon_> DogWomble, it gives the illusion that the item in the listing works fine (i.e.: It was pulled out of a working system/rack/device)
20:39:28 <DogWomble> aah :) well why not just say that/
20:39:48 <DogWomble> 'working pull' sounds like what you did 5 minutes before you put the listing up
20:39:54 <Halcyon_> There is usually no indication if the seller was the one who "pulled" the item, whether they knew what they were doing, used the proper protection (ESD etc...), stored it correctly, whether or not it works NOW....
20:40:39 <Halcyon_> It's their way of trying to shift liability usually so they can say "Well it worked at some point in the past, it doesn't now, so it must be something you did"
20:41:18 <Halcyon_> It's the computing equivalent of "One lady owner, always garaged"
20:44:21 <Halcyon_> It also says to me (as a buyer) that the seller had no intention or no way of testing the item, so rather than making a difinitive statement about it or listing it in an unknown/for parts condition, they try and use weasel words
21:03:03 * steve30 snuggles up to Halcyon_
21:03:35 <Halcyon_> Nawww :-)
21:03:39 <Halcyon_> Someone's affectionate.
21:03:59 * steve30 is sleepy
21:04:14 <Halcyon_> Me too, one more work day for me and it's the weekend for me
21:04:29 <Halcyon_> Although it won't be much of a weekend. I have a uni lecture to write which I need to deliver next Tuesday
21:16:58 <steve30> I suppose I'd better head out
21:17:13 <Halcyon_> Have fun
21:17:14 <Halcyon_> :)

23:42:45 <Guest|84568> Hi Alex here. I was chasing up info on LCD volt and current panel meter mod.PZEM-031 which monitors its own supply from 6.5~100v DC
23:55:35 Nick: Ampera_ is now known as Ampera
23:55:38 <Guest|84568> Continued sorry, RE: PZEM-031 PANEL METER,,, across this forum and a Q: was asked can it be powered and not read its own supply. Yes it can by connecting 4~5v dc on the 2 unsoldered pads with hole on PC board labeled "W" from rear view bottom left side pad next to W is the NEG.only drains 0.004 amps, this supply must be kept isolated from the measu
23:55:39 <Guest|84568> ring supply , the NEG is common. Be very careful as 5v to me seemed a bit high as the LCD started laminating unwanted segments. I only came across this curiosity , i ended up using a small Li-Ion battery for the job
