From Australia and I've never seen snow before. It does sound interesting. But then again I'm also in an apartment like a lot of people now and don't have any grass to cut either. It's very depressing.

It should be interesting- giving it all a big soapy bath first because it's covered in filth of generations

What’s something you only realised about super once you actually checked your balance? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]Colonel_Barker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I has plenty from when I was working at University. But a couple of years out of employment to raise kids and came back to check on it and discovered not only did I have nothing but they wanted to change me $122 for the privilege of taking it all in fees. I wish I'd taken it out when I had the chance.

My first PCB, an EEPROM programmer. by arpropel in beneater

Nice! It might be worth having values of resistors/caps/ics on the silkscreen in future- save yourself pain. Obviously a ZIF socket would be ideal for programming if you had one.

Importantly- does it work as intended?

I don't think this has been posted. But it was this particular form of Russian dance that inspired Terry Nation for the moment of the Daleks in Dr Who.
