I still have some paper version of those, buried somewhere.
The best was a nightview of the iconic GPO (now BT) Tower in central London. To get adequate darkness there was several layers of overprinting. I'm mildly surprised the paper survived intact.
I chose Meriday because she is arguably the first "internet meme" to ever go "viral"; my first exposure to such filth
![Wink ;)](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
was a usenet portal on a dialup connection to
Gorgar's Castle out of Rochester, NY. As you might imagine, that BBS served primarily D&D nerds playing long-distance campaigns.
WoW can suck it, man.
I was rocking near state-of-the-art with a
1MB 1024KB 286-XT, 15 inch (!!!) Trinitron-based 1024x768 EEGA (32-color row/column mapped display vs 12" 640x480 8-bit bitmap VGA which was just then becoming the standard) bare-chassis display bought out of the back of the Computer Shopper (I made an aluminum sheet cabinet for it in the high-school metal shop) with yup... an ST-225 (maybe I'd upgraded to an ST-238 by then) hard drive w/DOS 3.3 and later Win3.1 .

Something for Bean and mnem that we discussed a good while back.
Finally finished the dry run protection on that new pump installed back in Feb. ![Phew :phew:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/phew.gif)
$12 flow sense switch plus a $1 timer chopped/hacked/cleverly installed
into the 12V pump control circuitry so that the pump will only run for 2s without sensing water flow.
Bonus visual feedback in that the ON light atop the pump shed power pole indicates the NO flow by going OUT/OFF when the NO flow sense triggers.
That's put that chapter to bed until the next stuff up happens. ![Flogging A Dead Horse :horse:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/DeadHorse.gif)
I recall bean warning to make the cross-section of the vane on that switch small enough not to give too much leverage so the switch didn't get broken; how did you resolve that?
Myself, I'd print a box to go over that board. If dirt and rust can get in there where it's mounted (as seen in the photo), bugs and moisture can too.
