04:01:24 <K> meanwhile
04:01:42 <K> i went hunting for radio theory books in dads stash in the wood-shed
04:01:51 <K> and found two boxes of valves
04:02:05 <K> now i have about 100 of 6Н6П
04:03:24 <K> and heaps of other coveted (allegedly) audio-use ones
04:04:11 <K> wth was dad collecing them for, he had a firm opinion on "fuck the soft-valve-sound, nonlinear distortion is fucking distortion and i hate it"
04:04:59 <K> also books on soviet military radar theory books with notes in them
04:05:09 <K> i am ovewhelmed.

04:38:01 <mannie> second is front side
04:38:07 <mannie> It is made from scrap wood
04:38:13 <K> a safe! is it?
04:38:30 <mannie> Yes with working fully wooden combination lock
04:40:46 <mannie> K: The next project I will finish is my 6 months older tablet/smartphone projector.
04:42:25 <K> neat.
04:42:26 <mannie> I finished it but I used a very cheap from 100% chinesian kids toy quality magnifiyer. It did not focus probarly soo it whas useless. I have now a 'real' magnifaing glass
04:45:32 <mannie> K: do you know who is the most expert in magnifing glasses/optics here?
04:49:08 <K> uff not really a subject that gets dicussed much in here
04:50:04 <K> ima be a bore and suggest making a post on eevblog forum. the irc channel is more like overflow-bucket for delinquents, albeit sometimes some real nuggets of wisdom pop out
04:52:08 <mannie> K: Thanks. It is just that I have the idea that the new magnifing glass still dont focus 100% but I am not shure on it.
04:52:22 <mannie> ether way I will just install it and see what happens
04:55:31 <flyback> electrohead, I might have a benign tumor growing on my right auditory nerve
04:57:12 <K> mannie, the little intuition about optics i have whispers to me that one lens likely will not be enough for focusing

05:03:46 <electrohead> ooo. tubes
05:04:24 <electrohead> flyback: oh fuck, sorry to hear that :/
05:05:41 <watcher> electrohead: It is not that bad. I am wanting to donate this laptop to the museum any ways. It is like 10 years old. Cannot run win11 and win10 is even with the fastest ssd that I could buy for it slow and it strungles a little to much for my tast
05:05:58 <watcher> So the museum will get one instead of two batts
05:17:01 Quit: watcher ([email protected]) Quit: KVIrc 5.2.10 Quasar http://www.kvirc.net/
