This is a great idea, i think 600rr.net has the same thing and it's really cool, I'm glad to hear you'll be adding that. And just thought I'd mention, like a few others, that this site is already the best forum site I've been a part of, so I really only go here. It's a great example of how to run a clean and modern web forum. Ben, as a side note, you've done a great done streamlining your code for this site. Even in the simple comparison of site entry load times compared to other forums. Use 600rr.net as an example, this site loads far faster, and with less clutter. Great job.

I'm getting my masters in Electrical Engineering while working at Kodak as a high-speed digital systems designer. I've dabbled in analog systems and designed a few analog boards, but mostly I do FPGA designs for gigabit fiber-optic data streams. I've also done a lot of DSP stuff in the past, but this seems pretty cool for now. It's every bit as geeked as it sounds. I even have a lab coat with my name on it. Bow to my nerdery!

It's this October, we're just doing the counseling early to get it out of the way. We just did the pre-marital compatibility tests, and the questions were awesome. Number 86 asked if I'd ever had any homosexual thoughts, and if I was worried that they would ruin the marriage. I answered yes because I watch a lot of Brad Pitt movies. Dustin - Lindsey's twin will be the maid of honor, and she's a handful, but she might be single by then. Best of luck. Matt - After looking into the power board more, I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, but the caps that we replaced seem to be a symptom, not the problem. Whenever a circuit fails, the weakest part always goes first until the circuit's loop is broken. If you repair that part, like we did, and make it more robust, then the next weakest part fails if the problem persists. It looks like this is what's going on. I can't find an obvious failure, and I even broke out the Fluke meter and 'Scope to see if I could see anything, but nothing obvious showed up. If you plug in the unit, you'll notice that even the rear fan doesn't come on. I checked the power board, and you're not getting +35V out. You're getting a few lower voltages for logic chips and such, but your +35V mains are dead. I think your system takes 110VAC in and transforms it to (probably) 48VAC then rectifies it to DC, but I can't be sure since voltages are missing. Since I couldn't find any voltage after the transformer, maybe that's the part that's dead. If coils short out, you don't know what kind of voltage you'd get out of it until the part completely burns out and opens the circuit for good. The point is, the problem is a lot bigger than those caps, but without the original design schematic, it's hard to tell what would be wrong with it. The only option is to reverse engineer it section by section, and in real life, that's not nearly as easy as Ben Affleck makes it look in crappy movies. Unless you find another article online where someone else already did all this work, then you might be SOL. Sorry about that news, but just let me know if there's something you need me to try.

welcome to the area, we recently lost one of our resident 250's, so it's good to have a replacement. (sorry Danielle )

got mine....2:33pm

I didn't get anything either.

They can vote?? WTF mate!!!

she would be decidedly unamused.

Yea, it's my first house, and it's a work in progress, but thanks. Be glad you didn't see it in spring so you could bear witness to my mad gardening skills. Remember kids, "if it's green, let it grow", and you'll end up with a fun pot-luck of random shit growing Matt, I have the stuff here at work, so I'll go to the gym at about 4:50/5 to let the techs kinds of thin out again before I go use their shit, so I'll be working on it around 5:30/6:00. Barring any complications, I should be on the road about 30-45 min after I start, so ballpark, let's say I'll be there around 7ish? If that's a problem at all, just gimme a call, we'll work something out. That would be hilarious to see a whole pew of just helmets lined up somewhere. And everyone has to act like there's absolutely nothing out of the ordinary with the situation.

thanks Nate, I was hoping no one would notice the cheap knockoffs, thanks for ruining it on day 1. And I have to say thanks to Fonzie again, he's the reason I got this suit for 800 shipped because he was awesome and shared his discount. Thanks a lot big guy, next drink's on me when we meet.

The suit came today, schweeeet......just need my new gloves and boots, and we're all set. (yes i wore it as soon as it came, and yes I tried everything on in my bathroom to see how it looked. It's winter, I'm bored, don't judge me)

only if everyone rides there in their suit & tie, & sits in a group with their helmets on for the whole ceremony. The whole thing might be worth it just to see how Danielle manages to ride there in a dress, but remember kids, the journey is half the fun.

i would be throwing a bigger fit about it, but it means a lot to her family, and since they're footing the (huge) bill for the whole thing, I really don't have a lot of room to complain.

well done, welcome

that's right kids, now what's that spell?

pre-cana is the stupid shit the catholic church makes you do before you get married by the church. want a catholic wedding? you have to do it. since the ceremony will be in a cathedral, of all places, so they're really not slacking on the whole process. it's actually really boring and i suggest it for no one.

yea, whodey needed a reason to think more of himself. good job guys. way to go.

I should, but it'll be Sunday. I have to be in cinci after work today so i can be up early tomorrow to start the last session of my Pre-Cana all freakin' day Saturday. Just how I wanted to spend my weekend: a Jew getting lectured by Catholics about the proper way to be married. awesome. I'll be back sunday, I'm more than willing to do it anytime after I get back. Bring it all, we'll spend some time making sure the resolder connections are right. Like I said before, we'll even add jumper additions if we think we need to.

yea, i agree, but i'm thinking it's possible to land once. Probably only need a squeegee to clean up afterward too.

watch out for putting $0 on a title as the amount. Several years ago (when I bought my first bike, actually), I asked my insurance agent, who is a long time family friend, what I should put on the title as the sale price, and if I could put $0 to avoid paying taxes. He said that I would have to decide if I was ever going to use insurance on the vehicle for repairs. The insurance company was use the value on the title to determine the value of the vehicle when determining if an accident has totaled it or not. If the value of the vehicle is listed as 0, then any claim will total the vehicle, making any claim generally worthless. Considering you legal have to insure it in Ohio, but you wouldn't be able to make a useful claim, it kinds puts you in a hole if you're worried about fixing it in the future. However, if you don't care about fixing it, then the whole $0 thing is fine.

yea, she pretty much is. Maybe 5'3". SHe's really nice though, pretty quiet from when I've met her a few times.

and the kid is getting a free anatomy lesson...
