    Rest in Peace, Kris

    It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform all of the members here that KrisBlueNZ sadly passed away in recent weeks. His recent absence has concerned many of us and @Arouse1973 did some searching to see if there was any news. Sadly we found out why, but we don't know any more details. Kris...

    EP Newsletter

    I heard from him a little while after he left and he was taking some time out, but I guess that stay has lasted for quite a while now. I do hope we see him return one day :).

    EP Newsletter

    Glad you guys like it :D. Fair enough, I know that many of us will already get too many e-mails from all over the net on a daily basis. There will sometimes be stuff in the newsletter intro about site news, but I'll make sure I also post in in the announcements section too if there's anything...

    Database problems?

    Thanks, I always do like to know when there's a problem so I can fix it - this time I seem to have caused it however ;).

    Database problems?

    Sorry about that, this was my fault :oops:. I made a quick change to the database about 10 mins ago which was supposed to make a nice speed improvement, however it didn't like one of the settings and decided to restart. Very sorry about that, I wasn't expecting any downtime - but I've rolled...

    Server unstable? (2015-02-18)

    Thanks @Supercap2F - I think I've narrowed the problem down to a particular script, but unfortunately it's one that needs to run (a one off, but may last a week!). I thought it was now under control as I slowed the execution of it down substantially, but I'll set up some additional logging on EP...

    Server unstable? (2015-02-18)

    Thanks Harald, I'll go back over the logs and see what is happening. I've made a change this morning which I think has fixed it, fingers crossed!

    Server unstable? (2015-02-18)

    Thanks for letting me know Harald, I've been having some server instability problems today, the recovery scripts have kicked in several times this morning due to a crash - I'm logged in now trying to find the problem, but it's proving difficult. I've stripped back the background tasks that I...

    Hi short4stuff, the link you posted directed us to an attachment on a site that requires a login to view. Can you upload the image direct to this site using the "upload a file" button please?

    Video Goggles

    Yeah there are loads out there still - you can even make your own ghetto version with some cardboard and cheap lenses to clip over your phone if you want a budget option ;)...

    I want to make my own led reaction timer, but i dont know how to make circuits, need help with them

    Saqib, I couldn't say it any better than @Gryd3 and @lilmatt119. There's a big difference between helping you and doing all the work for you - it's not about "full answers", I think you perhaps underestimate the work involved. Even if we could provide a full circuit diagram, you'd need to...

    Heathkit IP20 Power Supply

    As a one-off, I've uploaded it here :). Normally I can't allow large file sizes, but I've altered the limits, uploaded it, then I'll lower them again.

    If you're careful on that site it works ok, just click the "download this file" button under the "URL" and "Embed" boxes and it asks you to enter 4 characters to confirm you're a human. There are lots of ads on the page so just make sure to click that box only and you'll not be forced to install...

    Logos for electronic component manufacturers

    Excellent resource Kris, extremely helpful indeed! :D I noticed the URL at the bottom of the article: www.electronicspoint.com/resources/.47 - it's possible to access the resource without the "." in it: www.electronicspoint.com/resources/47, just thought I'd mention that as it may be easier :).
