all were nice (ok, that one guy...., he went on all our nerves, but basically he was ok too)
the chances are 25% that i get the job (we been 8 ppl, the best chosen from about 40, and i feel i'm in the top half - they'll message us in like 10, 12 days)
and besides that one guy (the only real editor amongst us!) i was the best dressed, the others came either in their normal stuff or were too fancy-wanna-be-business-style-common-boring dressed

A table that has proven itself in an undisclosed location in Berlin; proved itself with volunteers who, despite Berlin's international nature, certainly could only offer a foretaste of the names, the voices, the personalities who will occupy that table on 9 September on Bebelplatz. Because on 9 September, Dropping Knowledge will host 112 of the most influential people of our times around this table.

I = V/R
I = 3V/4.3Ω
I = 0.698A

R = V x I
R = 5V x 0.698A
R = 3.4Ω

So yes, it can, assuming constant amperage, and an initial resistance of 3.4Ω*.

*unless I fvcked up.

I don't know what the initial resistance was! I suck.

I may have fudged the numbers but it's a series of 20 RGB LEDs, at 20-30 mA each, that usually runs off a 4.5V battery pack. The voltage tolerance for the LEDs is approximately between 3V and 3.8V (as far as I can tell by looking at similar LEDs at online providers) so a friend of mine suggested that the battery pack itself was providing resistance (as there is no resistor wired into the original assembly) - plus the batteries lose voltage pretty quickly right at the beginning of the power curve so even if the initial voltage with new batteries is at or over the top of the range it would soon fall off into the 'happy zone' - and I guess with a set of 3 x AA batteries you wouldn't have to worry about voltage spikes that might fry the array like you might with mains power through a wall wart.

Of course, running three of these strands off a 5V 2A DC wall adapter is what I've been trying to do. I'd appreciate if you'd check my work:

With a couple of flying guesses I calculated that two 2Ω 2W resistors would provide approx. 1.4V of drop in the power coming from the adapter, which would put the working voltage to the strands at 3.6V, within the tolerance range of the LEDs. Wiring these resistors in series one right after the other would be a pain in the ass structurally so I put one at the + end of the strand and the other at the - end. And no, the local electronics store didn't have any 5Ω or 4Ω resistors available, so wiring in the pair of 2Ω was the best I could do on short notice. As I understand it this should give the same result as putting them one right after the other but I could have the wrong end of the stick (or the LED strand, as the case might be).

I put this whole thing together as I just described, and I've been doing a power test for the past two hours to see if anything is going to overheat or go poof. So far so good...

lukkucairi

12-17-2010, 11:39 PM

^ btw that's three strands in parallel, not in series.

Peregrine

12-18-2010, 02:20 AM

Wow. Um. To be honest, I actually had to Google Ohm's Law to come up with that, since I haven't done this since my undergraduate physics lab, like 9 years ago. You're actually, way ahead of me at this point.

I keep misunderstanding the problem, so I've come up with 3 or 4 wrong answers, and it's after 1am in my time zone, so I'd better quit while I'm ahead. But if I ballpark it, I'd guess you're going to want to drop it down another couple of volts.

What I would actually do is get a multimeter, and measure the resistance contributed by one of the diodes. That would probably give you better numbers to deal with. If you're hooking diodes up in series for each strand, then the resistance across the series is the sum of the resistance of all the diodes in the series. For more than 2 resisters in parallel, it's the sum of the reciprocal.

You could probably even measure the voltage across each strand. That would probably give you a better idea if you're overloading the system or not.

I can't use the ohmmeter to measure the resistance of the strand because there are little chips in each diode lens and they don't make a complete circuit :p

Alas...

Thank you for having a whack at it Peregrine :)

I'm going with what I've got for now. It's been running all day and seems to work :o - no diodes frying and no resistors heating up unduly. I've got the materials to build another set so next time I'll up the resistors and see what happens.

The luc bat is a Vietnamese climbing rhyme verse. Lines of six syllables alternate with lines of eight syllables. Hence the name luc bat (Vietnamese = "six eight"). Each rhyme occurs three times: at the end of the first 8-syllable line, at the end of the next 6-syllable line, and as the sixth syllable of the next 8-syllable line. The end loops back to the beginning couplet.

A Luc Bat
example #1
((Mo thinks this is a correct depiction))

The luc bat shows two trends.
The poem's rhyme scheme tends to climb;
Lines alternate in time.
A six-beat line is prime; an eight-
Beat one succeeds its mate.
The form is not ornate, and yet
Does its job... Don't forget,
To conclude this vignette, it bends.

Example 2::
(Mo has decided this is a bad example
((ie doesn't fit the bill))

A Bog Body
The body in the bog
Has lain there like a log till now.
Then, unearthed by a plough
Cutting grooves in the slough for peat,
Head, torso, hands, and feet
Eventually complete the scene.
The corpse is not pristine,
And what the death might mean, doubted.
The reasons are clouded;
It's mystery shrouded in fog.

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
We do what we must
because we can,
for the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake;
you just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

"]thought for the day:
(two unrelated things)

History

The first soldiers to have been issued boots were the foot soldiers of the Assyrians, the Roman legions, who wore hobnail boots called caligae to war.

During the English Civil War each soldier of the New Model Army was issued three shoes or ankle boots. After every march the soldier would change them round to ensure they received even wear. Following the Restoration shoes and uniforms followed the civilian pattern: shoes with buckles were used by most armies from 1660 until around 1800. Hessian boots were used by cavalry from the 18th century until World War I.

Late in the Napoleonic Wars the British army began to be issued lace-up boots that replaced the older buckle shoes. These "Blucher" boots remained in use throughout the 19th century and were used in conflicts that included the Crimean War, Zulu War and Boer War. By World War I, they had been replaced with the Galosh pattern or "George" boots. These in turn were replaced by ammunition boots which were used from World War II until the 1950s.

Rifle units of the US military were equipped with calf-high boots in the War of 1812.[4] From the 1820s until before the American Civil War soldiers were issued ankle-high boots which were made on straight lasts. There was no "left" or "right" boot:

Peregrine

11-03-2011, 07:53 PM

I had a hard drive crash a couple years back. The system wouldn't boot until I swapped it out for a new drive and reinstalled, so I thought it was lost. But I held onto it anyway, in the hopes that I could one day salvage something.

This year, I finally got around to buying a hard drive enclosure. You can use them to plug regular hard drives into the USB slot, so it acts like an external hard drive, or a backup drive, or something like that. So I put the old hard drive in it, and was able to salvage pretty much everything.

It's not a guaranteed solution, though. I tried the same thing with the hard drive from a friend's laptop, but it didn't work. It kept making that "click...click...click..." sound of the read arm smacking against something.

For around $30 and fingers crossed, it might be worth a shot. But if that doesn't work, the only solution I know of is data retrieval services, which could be expensive.

The irregularities are hideous even for native speakers, and I know there are some differences among British/American/Australian speakers...

^ it'd be fun to see the faces of people who are trying to learn the language. By the way, one of my students had a theory that the English actually plotted and worked hard to make their language so bloody difficult to learn...

After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud.
Well, well, these words from the mouth of a Frenchman... curieux...

Your most recent entry reminds me of a joke that
i heard for the first time
today....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A New York tailor, devout Jew all his days, tries very hard to bring
up his children in the faith. One day, his youngest son comes to
him and announces that he is becoming a Roman Catholic. The tailor
ponders his misfortunes, trying to understand why such a thing
should happen to him. In desolation, he seeks out his rabbi and
confides in him.

"Rabbi," laments the tailor, "I do not understand. I have a son, a
good Jewish boy, brought up in the faith. We observed, we attended,
we did everything for the boy, and yet he decides to become a
Christian. How can this thing be?"

"My friend," says the rabbi, "you WOULDN'T believe, but I must tell
you. I, too, have a son, a good Jewish boy, brought up here in the
synagogue, in the faith. Yet, he also became a Catholic. Who is to
know? The Almighty has his reasons. All we can do is pray to Him
for answers."

With that, the two of them set forth in devout prayer.

Suddenly, the lights dim, the walls shake, and God's voice fills the
room. "Let me tell you two, you WOULDN'T believe, but I too
had a son....

^*Gorgeous!* Thank you!

Brynn, if you're in here (http://youtu.be/5_v7QrIW0zY), I didn't spot you, but I wonder if you know some of the folks involved!

You know, Pearlie, I've watched it several times now, and I don't recognize anybody involved - I'm pretty sure it's simply a family/friends deal, no professionals, except perhaps the dance coordinator in red(?)

The neighborhood, judging by the tall evergreens, looks to be near mine on the west side, if that counts for anything - which believe me, it does if you have to put up with the ridiculously misguided creative snobbism of the east-siders. :)

The thing I love most about this video is how truly lovely Portlanders are in all their friendly, generous goofiness. Living here, I feel like I'm surrounded by Golden Retrievers. It makes all the rain worth it.

So funny, Pearlie, how we both posted the same thing on the same day...

into thin air

why am i thinking back to the 60's when people used to go on vacation and come back and ask their neighbors to come over for dinner and then sit in the living room with the lights off to watch it* with them..
to me it was the
most boring thing ever, but this

I read the plot summary though

is that the guy who
seduces someone when they are

From time to time it turns out surprisingly fabulous.

if it hasn't been done before, or even if it has, some or many ceramicists should make hundreds ...nah...thousands of fancy ceramic hermit crab houses. Can you imagine a beach of living artworks scuttling about oblivious to the esthetic value of their still very practical abodes? It would also be fascinating to study what types of fancy or not so fancy houses hermit crabs tend to prefer, camo?, spiky?, smooth, bright?, dull?, gothic? homey? scary? (picture a tiny bates motel scuttling across a beach in the moon light pursued by a covetous ceramic ducky)

ZE!
Make (i mean ask) your TheShow viewers to do this!

Send your hermit crab ceramic houses to Ze at...well...u look it up. It's probably listed on his site or on one of the shows.

Hi everyone, haven't been around for a couple of years ... awesome to see some of the same faces :) Hope you are all well! I am doing my part to create the second generation of ZeMonkeys, in that I'm showing my girls the toys and videos on the main page. They've been making flowers and gyro designs and scribbles and watching Ze dance ... their favourite dance move thus far is "smackin' that ass."

In extremely old news (for you guys) I just watched Ze's TED talk and was inspired and moved. Did any of you sing for Laura's song (the chill out song)? I wouldn't be surprised :)

What would really suck is if Kristian Nairn got type cast as a result of his work on the show.

"So, I see you were in Game of Thrones. That's pretty high Profile. Who were you in that?"

"Hodor."

"Really! Could you give me a sample of you're work? Let me hear some of your lines."

"Hodor."

"That's.... That's just great. So, what is it that interests you in our live-action Pokémon reboot?"
