On another topic altogether...one of my resolutions now that I've almost finished my degree (computer science focusing on cybersecurity, MS) is to get serious about being an EE autodidact (which is partially the reason for TEA, but I also just like old boat anchors). I ended up getting AoE 3rd ed and the lab companion as a starting point. I mean it kind of was born from a "volts for dolts" course at Harvard but it's way more fun than taking formal classes and I can eventually get specific texts that do more in depth treatments of areas I'm interested in.
My undergrad is in CS and math, but damn if chapter 1.7 isn't kicking my butt. Complex analysis and differential equations was too long ago.
Heh... big-endian or little-endian?
I loved my computer forensics class... we had a little clean-chamber for popping the hard-drives' skulls open and poking around inside their brains. (Muahahaha!!!
) Had a hard time with the sector addressing math though. I'm totes math-defective³.
Yes, I know they don't do it that way anymore unless they absolutely have to. But it was still fun, so
In Other News...Found the bag with my modular power supply cables. It was right where I feared; in a bin approx 2 feet from a sleeping SWMBO's head. At 2AM.
I do believe my strategic withdrawal was definitely the smarter move.
Currently making the ends with 4-pin Amphenols into 6-pin Amphenols so I can plug them into the 8-pin Amphenol adapter that came with the card.
