Depends on how accurate you need the timing to be.

Something tells me you probably take the lead in precision timing requirements 'round here.

Federal Agency X IT Follies - Sirius Cybernetics Corp update: Last month I posted about their planned update and the rollout of new laptops. I've got gobs of slides on new e-mail addresses, new access methods, and carefully-phased rollout plans. We were supposed to be rolled out this week. Dead sile...

Just found out that the woman who was killed in that Southwest Airlines engine failure grew up living in the house I now own.

Don't forget Satchel Paige.

I know just enough chemistry to realize that "N₉O₃" has to be an alarming typo.

Even if you could herd all those atoms into close proximity they certainly wouldn't stay put for very long, or disassemble quietly.

Damn, I need me a new SLR. Given what I want (excellent low-light AF, fast glass, and decent high-ISO image quality) it'll be spendy.

April 23. Birth [/handwave] and death day of Shakespeare, as well as death day of Miguel de Cervantes. There's megatons of literary history and quality packed into this day.

That is all.

Well, all you needed to do to fix that was tighten the nut that holds the head on the pipe. Five seconds with a pair of channel-locks if you don't care what the nut looks like when you're done (I don't).

Finished the last 3 episodes of the Hexagonal Phase of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy today, courtesy of BBC Radio 4 and a slow day in the office. As someone who self-identifies with Arthur Dent, I was heartened by the final end of the entire saga (though they needed a better voice for Marvin;...

And you're both correct:

What a Kamov Ka-26 is doing sitting in a field in Milton, VT (it's a "lawn ornament" for a helicopter service company) is beyond me. Been there for a good 10 years at least.

OK, another session of "what is it"? This object is about 5 miles from my house. It's clearly a helicopter, my challenge is for someone to tell me make/model. I took the liberty of erasing the non-country part of the tailcode to make Googling more difficult. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kwtjj...

The Yes Album I love this album. In spite of the fact that Wakeman wasn't on board yet, this is where it all started to come together. IMO along with Fragile , Close to the Edge , and Relayer , it is an absolutely essential Yes album. Don't forget TFTO [/inside joke]. Joking aside, TYA is where the...

So this weekend is spring in Ottawa. Time to pack up the snowblower, get the bikes out and switch out the winter tyres on the cars for the summers.

Since my winters don't have enough tread for another winter, I'll just run them through the summer until they quit.

As a kid in rural VT, our tiny cable network had WPIX-11 out of NYC, so it was a constant diet of Yankees games for me listening to Phil Rizzuto and Bill White. I did manage to see Hank Aaron hit #715 on live TV, I of course watched The Miracle On Ice, and will never forget the night Reggie became M...

RPN calculators are significantly more efficient than algebraic calculators, since they require fewer keystrokes and you don't have to worry about mismatched parentheses. Yup... they seem pretty alien until your brain has internalized that algebraic-to-RPN compiler though! I can definitely see how ...

Reverse Polish Notation English makes me want to day-drink. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7uqjxky5cfurmws/HP12C.jpg?raw=1 This is my HP-12C. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My HP-12C is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my HP-12C is usel...

Our city does recycling pickup on garbage day (today incidentally). They just dump whatever's in the bin into the truck. Let the recycling plant figure it out. :lol: When the selling price of recycled materials doesn't cover the cost of separation, storage, transport, and all that, all of that blue...

The Grateful Dead were never quite as good after Pigpen died.

That is all.

I appreciated the reference, Ned.

So it remains a Secret, no?

I just pulled up the Northeast Radar Loop (http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/northeast_loop.php) after your prior post and the only place in NY with any activity at all was the Tug Hill plateau. Ask any Army/National Guard grunt about winter training at Fort Drum.

Haha I checked the radar and forecast for today. Another 3-5 inches expected with this next band of precip. For me I'm at the inflection point where I'm no longer emotionally defeated by winter weather, but really just want to see how far into Spring we can go. At this point I just want to watch th...

Are there any cases that have ducted intakes for the GPU and/or CPU? Back in the day I had modded an 80mm fan mount in the window to duct for the intake on the blower-style cooler for the GPU. That gave it fresh air and exhausted most of the heat directly out of the case. Not any more, or at least ...

Seeing as the "newest" product on their website is for 3xxx Core chips and the most recent copyright date is 2012, I'd say they're an ex-manufacturer.

Looking at the data I could easily do Anchorage year-round. The record lows aren't too far below what I'm used to here in VT and it doesn't get as hot. Florida? I don't do humidity. Arizona? I'd have to spend a summer at Dad's place in Bisbee (elevation 5,500') to see if "dry heat" is bear...
