Mail Day Thread

I know it’s supposed to work that way, but my brain doesn’t seem to get it. In particular I often get thrown by attempts to depict emotions in a comic book. The facial expressions are opaque to me, I need exposition. There are also some frames that are clearly intended to depict something, but I’m left scrambling in vain for a coherent interpretation. I can’t imagine what I would have made of 24 Hours without first hearing the audiobook version.

My box-o-cables that I had manufactured showed up a week ago, which I really needed.

I needed to get some Eurorack patch cables for my Euro case and went looking online. Everything was a bit more than i had wanted to pay and not in the colors that I had wanted. So, I decided to do some research and found a company to manufacture the cables I wanted in the colors and lengths that wanted. I also picked up some 6 way splitters and was sent some free samples of various types of cables. I ended up needing to order more cables than I could ever want due to quantity minimums so I am offering up the cables that I have left to the community. The details are below but I’ll make a post to the BST thread.

Here is what I have available. All cables are $1/each. Mix and match as you like.
15cm - Pink (20 available)
30cm - Red (20 available)
45cm - Blue (20 available)
60cm - Yellow (20 available)

If anyone is interested just send me a message. I still have tons of B10k and B100k pots and switches available. :slight_smile:

Bitnik,

My brain works the exact opposite. I’m suppose to find the characters of Friends like people with emotions opened up to me. I’m not able to find any emotion beyond unfunny scripts and a fake laughter track. On the other claw Tantalizing Stories has all the emotional vibes laid out clearly and visually for my brain to digest.

I do hope you read the README on the power supply:


I just noticed it appears the barrel jack footprint is CONNECTED INCORRECTLY. Don’t use a barrel jack with this board. (Will upload a corrected version soon, though the README will be unchanged.)

Thank you for the warning !
As I have a transformer I won’t use the barrel jack.
I know of the dangers, and the transformer will be in it’s own enclosure… which will be mounted inside my case once I get to build one, sometimes in spring when I can work outside.

Barrel jacks were the bane of my existence when I first started making the little CL power boards that I make


All of my first versions - I left the “switch” un-connected to ground… lol -
None of them worked and had to be jumpered lolol.
sigh.
Barrel jacks and Potentiometers are like my bane… lol

I received a Zoom H2N. I almost immediately attached a piezo to it and started earing stuff around the house. My family looked at me strangely…

caps , ic’s and resistors . the packaging was stupid on some of this stuff . the ic’s were in a giant box but whom ever packaged it bent the tube to put it in and crushed 2 of the ic’s . the little caps were in 4 layers of baggies and resistors were in 2 layers of baggies wtf could have charged half as much for this stuff with half the wasteful packaging .
