Our wings are not tired

SCR dimming makes the buzzing much worse, but there is less wasted energy. Basically SCR dimming works by rapidly pulsing the energy on and off at a specific point in the waveform.

Take a look at the dimming section on wikipedia:

Specifically you are looking at Thyristor dimmers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What does the term NATted IPs mean? Isn't it the IP addresses within the local network? We are punching firewall holes, and the developer in charge of the ticket swears those are the IPs we need to get from the client so they can get through.

But intuitively that makes no sense to me. Wouldn't you need the external IP addresses?

Needless to say, the firewall rules don't work as implemented.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

we should exchange usernames or something because I'd be happy to trade frogs with people who need a particular species combo.

I am la-perkins, and I have a lot of frogs I am trying to get rid of, if people want to trade or get gifts.

okay, I'm going to contact you both at your profile addys so we can do some coordination of frog exchanges.

Drew and Sean, that was really interesting.

All is well that ends in pizza.

My mirror door G4 is toast. The power button blips when I press it, but that's it.

I have done all the usual: reseated cables, tried without cards and components, and nada. I suspect the power supply.

Typing this from my old iBook G3 with the failing, grinding hard drive.

Maybe I can find a casing or cheap G5 on craigslist.

Argh.

Have you tried swapping out the frogs?
