Now, here's another project at pimp ma' ~~ride~~ DMM:

Shiny!

Quote from: Brumby on April 13, 2020, 07:13:18 am

Well, impatient little me got a bit twitchy, so the 3478A is back together...

My painting efforts were less than perfect - but I think decent enough for a daily drive bench meter

Still have the side inserts to fit. Unfortunately, it didn't come with the top insert.

That front frame looks like new -no, better than new!

What finish type is the paint? It doesn't seem to be matt..?

Brumby · « **Reply #55576 on:** April 13, 2020, 09:00:11 am »

The paint is a satin silver. It's a bit shiny for my liking, but I've tried some ideas on a test piece and once it has hardened up a bit, I will probably try running something like a fabric along to give more of a brushed look.

The finish only looks perfect because you can't see all the little blemishes that I can. I'm not too fussed about them because it's going to be a working meter. I just wanted to clean it up and that went too far.

It's missing one of the rear feet and the top insert. Would be nice to get those, but I won't fret about that.

Yea, vi is my go-to on my Linux box here when it comes to edit config files, scripts and other smaller files.

Nobody has mentioned nedit (nirvana editor) yet, so I do:

A nice editor for GUI operation in my opinion.
(following the rule 'post pics'

Wrote my seminar papers and pre-diploma paper ("Studienarbeit") with it. -C-code*, shell-scripts* and LaTex-code.
BTW, LaTex: Didn't see what I'd get, but what I got looked very god in regards of typesetting.

Had to write my diploma thesis with MS Word though.

PITA.

*-But I don't claim that I can program well.
In fact, the code I wrote worked despite being a student of EE rather than because.

On the other hand: I've come across code written by software engineers over the years that was worse than what I'd claim my abilities are.

Software and Engineering don't go together in one phrase IMHO.

So... do I:
1. Leave it off
2. Cut it down
3. Cover the BNC with something else
4. Find a different IEC cable
5. Mash it in anyway (... er ... no.)

4: https://www.powercord.com.au/2m-wall-to-left-angle-iec-c13-power-cable/

Looks like that will give him the clearance he needs.

Interesting.

There is another BNC on the other side of the power socket, but it is a little further away and that plug looks to have a shorter and narrower strain relief.

I think that could work.

Edit: Update - ORDERED.

Nixies are neat but if they were red LED's I'd be bankrupt.

No wonder we have muppets running around destroying 5G towers, someone should section this idiot quickly, lock him up and then throw away the key, he is clearly a dangerous person to have running around stirring up conspiracy theories and fake information like this.

Morning all, hope you are well and that the Sun is Shining like it is here. Off to the Garden.

Done my bit

Also reported it under "domestic terrorism"

I've attacked a few other responses as well.

beanflying · « **Reply #55584 on:** April 13, 2020, 10:43:38 am »

Reported the video for promoting Terrorism

Only because Stupid is not a reason.

bd139 · « **Reply #55585 on:** April 13, 2020, 10:44:17 am »

Good good. I've seen a few of your comments on there as well. They really are fucktards

Specmaster · « **Reply #55586 on:** April 13, 2020, 10:46:43 am »

Likewise, I did my bit under the name of Leonard, I tried to find a way of reporting this but couldn't find last night, well, early hours og this morning TBH.

Here is his real channel, the other one was one of fools who believes him, this highly dangerous and inciting as your comment, terrorism.

Oh shit it's Mark Steele. Did he change his name?

Who ever it is they have their tin foil hat on waaaaay too tight.

Specmaster · « **Reply #55592 on:** April 13, 2020, 11:07:47 am »

And it gets even worse, he seems to getting other people to host his videos, does he have his own channel???

YT is flooded with many such videos that feature him under both Anthony Steele and also Mark Steele names?

Yep. I'm going to do some digging and find out where the piece of shit lives and what he's been up to. I'm wondering if he is actually nuts or being paid to produce this shit (like stephen yaxley-lennon is)

Is your law enforcement that dumb that they can't track down this idiot? I thought Scotland Yard was the bomb.

Forget "terrorism". I see theft, destruction of property, etc, etc.

Well I've got his home address already from a grey hat source. I'm not going to post it on here but will refer it to Ofcom and the police.

This is actually a criminal act (ofcom are already jumping on people) and he should be prosecuted for it. I suspect that they're building case evidence against him at the moment anyway. I'm sure a few YT syndication links will help that case.

Sit outside his house in a porcupine car. That will make him absolutely ape shit.
