@Ronald There is an odd satisfaction to getting a perfect dot of solder on a joint that is fully coated
@Ronald Good tools certainly help, you can never be any better than your tools allow. Then again you can have the best tools and not know what you are doing. But sounds like your getting the hang of it. Its all about practice and knowing the tricks.
@Ronald Soldering is an art form for sure. Too many people are sloppy when they try to solder and break everything and even if they dont it just looks ugly.
@Theropologist that was horrible :)
A beautiful elk I took a picture of at Yellowstone a few years back.
A few years back I was caught in the middle of a stampede of Buffalo. Instead of being smart and running I stood my ground and took pictures as they charged past me. Got this amazing picture from the experience.

@josephespana That sucks, given the nature of mastodon you'd think it would be a must.
A sea turtle I saw while SCUBA diving off the coast of St. Croix, USVI.

@Sir_Boops lol bet he didnt get far before he noticed that one.
@josephespana Nice, sounds like a solid app, nothing special, but done well. Not a bad thing. Does it have multi-instance support?
@Gargron That explains the OP, must be bored! I'll code something with you to give you something to do :)
A picture I took of Jupiter a few years back. One of the first Astrophotography pictures I ever tried.
An Astrophotography picture I took of the moon. Not the hardest picture to take, though it did require some expensive equipment.

One of my most popular pictures. It is a picture of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia. It was compiled from 5 seperate pictures at different exposure for HDR.

@josephespana Never tried it. What do you like most about the app?
@pushcomeshove Yea man, we are getting close!
A quick build of a cheap and easy Directional coupler using the coupled transmission line approach. You cant see it in the images but there are two 50 ohm terminating resistors on the end of each coupling.
An Advanced SWR meter I built about a month ago. It calculates phase shift so can compute a complex impedance and complex SWR, something most meters cant do. Schematics included.

Been coding up a MUD in my free time for fun. This is a screen shot of the local map I coded up that shows rooms, exits, enemies, and NPCs; all done using ASCII characters. Written in Java.
