Post Race!

Doesn't look like a man cave. too bright.

Then I'll use my club to beat down the light kit on the fans.

[dclamp]

Good call. Also you need more TVs and more video game consoles. Also an automated bar like the one I am making

[Shaggy Hiker]

What is automated about that? Are you calling gravity automation?

I think you should start buying refrigerators. Make half a dozen keggerators. That ought to do you in proper.

[dclamp]

It will not be gravity. There will be pressure and solenoids involved. And Arduinos. and LEDS. so many automation.

[dclamp]

I actually want to cold drinks in a minifridge to serve up to the top.

[dday9]

Mardi Gras has begun!

[dday9]

[dday9]

Oh no it's sideways!

[Shaggy Hiker]

At first I thought it was a street scene.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Then I thought that maybe it was the insides of a custom computer with lots of LED's to make it look all groovy.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Finally, I realized that it was a street scene rotated 90 degrees.

[Gruff]

Marty who?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Marty Grass. He's a notorious drunkard.

[Gruff]

Isn't he the guy that spends his entire paycheck on beads?

Mardi Gras has begun!

I thought it was Feb. 17th this year. Isn't it always in February?

[dday9]

I thought it was Feb. 17th this year. Isn't it always in February?

Yeah it is the 17th of February, but Mardi Gras is the day before Ash Wednesday so it all depends on when Easter falls because Ash Wednesday is always so many days(I don't know how many) before Easter.

It's just that 12th Night(twelve nights after Christmas) signifies the start of the Mardi Gras season.

[Gruff]

♫ And a pigeon in a crock pot. ♫

[Shaggy Hiker]

A parsnip on a par three?

[dclamp]

Still a work in progress. But here it my new workshop area... Pretty exciting I guess. I ran 1/2" conduit with electrical and Ethernet to the desk to make it convenient.


Edit:
I want the record to show that I did *not* use that Home Improvement 1-2-3 book...

Right... It was your sister's husband's monkey's uncle.

[dday9]

Just kidding, I'm impressed though.

[dday9]

Do you have your monitor bolted into the wall?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Is there an induction issue with running ethernet and a service line in parallel for some distance?

[dday9]

By the way, check out this website for information on Mardi Gras:
http://www.ibtimes.com/mardi-gras-20...rnival-1066872

It explains why Mardi Gras begun on 12th Night or 3 Kings Day.

[Shaggy Hiker]

So....I didn't read the link, but are they figuring that a handful of queens beats three kings?

[Gruff]

When ever I hear the phrase "Three Kings" I am reminded of a short story I read by Arthur C Clarke as a kid.

The_Star
"Oh God, there were so many stars you could have used. What was the need to give these people to the fire, that the symbol of their passing might shine above Bethlehem?".

Sorry... mood killer, but an interesting what if idea.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I remember that story.

Is there an induction issue with running ethernet and a service line in parallel for some distance?

Just be careful with the GND staking at each end of the long run of cable. If you have a big PD between the ends then you might find the magic smoke finds a way out.

Twisted pair is generally fairly resilient otherwise.

[Gruff]

Ever read: Gladiator?

Induction issue

I was going to say something about it myself but I think it covered.

[Gruff]

Here's two more books.

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson
Fiction. Bounces around in time from WWII to the present. about the history of cryotography in story form.

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
Light hearted romp. Easy read.

[dday9]

Light hearted romp

Isn't romp a dirty word in UK English?

[dday9]

If so I'll be forced to issue you a 3 second ban.

[dday9]

Times up, you're free to go.

You think that's resilient? I think it's a medical condition.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Might be in UK English, but not in Raccoon, Oregon.

[dclamp]

Do you have your monitor bolted into the wall?

The monitor is. I am going to put and old computer out there for my SDR connection. I have an antenna running up to the rafters. I will use my laptop for most things but the computer will probably run some server software maybe. Not sure.

Is there an induction issue with running ethernet and a service line in parallel for some distance?

The conduit for electrical and Ethernet is about 5' apart on the wall. It's safe. And it only crosses high powered lines at a perpendicular angle once. So it's pretty safe.
