  • Went and saw the comedian we recently saw in Melbourne again last night (… in Brisbane, this time).

    Took the lads from work and their partners so I reckon we represented close to 10% of the audience. They enjoyed it I think, even if it meant missing the first half of State of Origin (which in hindsight was probably for the best anyway).

    I enjoyed seeing it again, even if I knew some of the punch lines. I’ve said before the dude could read the dictionary and make it hilarious though. He’s got a gift.





  • Anyone know much about electronics?

    I have an NTC probe that reads 9K @ 0C and I want to add a mechanical offset as the controller does not have this functionality.

    If I throw a 32K resistance in parallel I should get my +5C offset at 0C which is perfect.

    BUT… I’m feeling a little greedy and I’d like to trim it a little each way, and I reckon between 25K and 50K would be a perfect amount. If I throw a 50K potentiometer in there, it’s variable between 0 and 50,000 which is not ideal. Is there such a thing as a potentiometer or similar that provides between 25K and 50K resistance?













  • This whole nuclear thing has really bummed me out. It reminds me so much of the NBN.

    Labor has a factually, technically, objectively better plan in motion and along come the Liberals with a plan that’s worse by every possible metric, and that every person with any sort of technical knowledge confirms is a terrible idea… yet with the aid of some questionable media, they somehow manage to push their message out to the populous and end up winning the next election based on feels?

    Why do Australians consistently opt for the shit option?
