Well, multimeters certainly have a habit of multiplying.  I picked up another one earlier today.

Multimeters?

Try oscilloscopes!! I have 5 of them in the lab right now. 

Leaners !   
Looking at 2 boxes totalling 8 and another 20 something are coming. 
1 less by tomorrow now it seems. 

Does sales stock really count as TEA?

Dropped my phone down the toilet bits morning. Kill me

Ah Bean!  Good to see you hadn't gone down the plughole.  Your absence has been noticed.

Been missing some enabling ... so much so, I dished out some notes on a 6643A ex Dave's lab.  Unfortunately, is has the Agilent name on it ... but it was there - and I was there - and Dave accepted my offer.......

There's a shit start to the day.

It's an iPhone, it's where it belongs. Don't forget to flush!

Water and turd proof fortunately. Has been washed 

Edit: functionally fine. Although not sure I want it now 

[med6753]

So only 500 odd pages behind  Not Dead nor is anyone around me, my ratbag Brothers Kidney Transplant is settled down and a state of semi normality seems to be returning.

On a TEA note seems I brought a 19" Slimline Anchor tonight with age typical ACal memory issues also has a 202 error for good measure. Add to that calibration $ needed and an absolute 'bargain'

Hey! Welcome back! Glad to see all is well with you.

My life is not that important that I need to bring my phone with me when I take a dump.

For any of our denizens in CONUS that like spraypainting anything Tek blue, get your credit card out pronto... Tektronix spray paint Tek Blue. Many available, old tek grey also available.

It will be a cold day in hell before I'll pay $25 USD plus shipping for a can of spray paint. I'll stick with the Krylon.

Saskia, how's hubby?

Yeah I don’t either. However it was hanging out of my pocket when I was pulling my trousers up

Yet another lesson you could have learnt from IT crowd...

What's the cost of a tin of Krylon then?

I'm sorry buddy... I didn't mean to infect your life with my fApple woes.  Alack and alas, the intardNet is the universal vector...

TIMMEH!!!

Welcome back to the Dark Side, buddy; we missed ye. I'd hug ya, but I know how you hate dragon breath. 

Ratbag brother... kidney...? Were YOU the donor...? 

One thing you need to know aboot, before you post any more pics; eevBlog did a SMF update a few months ago, which introduced yet another bug; the image handling database here is pretty well borked. Dave has disabled the inline image plugin to try and fix it (you have to use [ img]imgxxx.jpg[/img] tags for inline attachments now), and if you don't want your images to become a scrambled mess going back over pages and pages of your posting history (the bug is recursive; joy!) you need to make sure to never use the first slot in the attachments drop-down, always skip to the second.

See here in the server error reporting thread:

Yeah... eevBlog has had a wandering singularity ever since the last software update; it randomly erases pics from our current timeline. When the singularity eats a pic, it is "unmade" as if it never existed; which makes every pic associated with a user that came after that shift down a slot in the database.   Much hilarity ensues. 

The "Skip the First" slot workaround casts a warding spell which usually works unless the server daemons are especially overloaded by high numbers of visitors to a thread; the singularity seems especially attracted to the busiest threads. *

That's the necessary precondition for having 6 scopes.

Didn't you guys read the dependencies list for TEA...? It's right there on the first page.
