Working on it

Hmm...writing a decent description about my dimmer is taking longer than I expected. I am working on it, but it could take a while. I have a few photos I might post soon (including some infrared photos I took with the thermal camera we have at work), but the full write up might take a while. And I don't expect most people to read the whole thing as it could end up quite a long "article", and get a bit technical.

Ok, here is a very early version:

My Dimmer

There's not a lot of text there yet, and I don't expect most people to understand it anyway as I haven't yet explained what I'm talking about when I mention things like chokes and snubbers/snubber resistors. But there are some nice photos there (and apologies to anyone with dial-up).

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. Actually this is Ingrid trying to politely and forcefully pushing Rob into joining the Blog world. Take it from here Rob....... it's all yours.....

I can travel through time

Presumably due to an incorrect time zone setting here (which is now fixed), the first post doesn't appear where the first post should.

Slight delay

Thanks for that intro, Ingrid. I won't make any promises about how often I'll post or how interesting it will be to 99.9% of people, but someone, somewhere may occasionally find it interesting.

Despite telling someone (ie, Ingrid) that I would be writing about my latest electronic project (a stage lighting dimmer) tonight, I may have to delay that for a day or two. My tax return calls... :-( And I think I'll have to pay about $300 this year. I hate tax...
