We both got in before the Internet existed outside of maybe a few labs, talk about good timing. I still remember being in awe of computers back then and the possibilities they represented. The rest is history as they say, incredible the amount of technology/innovation that's happened in that time. Networking was my main gig for years, I played a small part in building out the Internet. Then when that became a commodity I focused on security and that's been my gig for the last 10 years or so. idk that it would be my choice these days, it's not as much fun now that it's a mature industry. It was more fun when we had to figure shit out for ourselves and make things work on the fly. The good old days in tech are gone, everything's about money, process, documentation, compliance, borrring... ;)

Now my phone is a supercomputer!

That pretty well sums it up, from punch cards to smartphones that have more power than anything we had when we first got into the tech game, in one working lifetime. Crazy thing is that we'll see more true innovation and new technology in the next 10-20 years utilizing what's been built and knowledge we've gained to-date. The industry wasn't really there 30 years ago. It's now been built and established a platform and readily available knowledge we didn't dream of back then. The current generation will hopefully take that and run with it but at an even faster pace with all the tools they have available. Should be cool to see, we're seeing some results now in science but imo it's only the beginning of a new era. Technology touches and has the ability to transform any industry, the winners will be the one's that foresee where it fits into their area of expertise and take advantage of it to create an edge. "Knowledge is power" has never been more relevant.

I was going to say the same. First, that I also had seen that
removing the solar collectors (fan leaves) does nothing beneficial
for yield, and second that when GroErr says that the math says
agrees, then that is that.

His program compiles like a gentle breeze.

P.S. While the Borroughs card readers were still in the room, the oldest
workstation was an IBM Diablo printer. LOL The terminal was a printer.

P.P.S. It was actually Xerox....model 1620, on page 10:

Cheers JD, perception is deceiving, but numbers never lie ;) Sounds like you've been around some of the relics! Lol, I remember those too, didn't realize the manuals were still around :)

When I got into web design in 1994 the only class I could find on writing HTML was an NYU extension class. By 2004 when I left management, I was hiring college grads with degrees in "new media", but many of the designers were already trained on WSYWYG software, and didn't know the first thing about editing HTML. The ones that came from code/scripting backgrounds tended to... Ten years and a life time. It is amazing how much it changed things, and how many sectors of society had adapt to provide what the burgeoning industry required. I've been out of the business for a dozen years, so now I'm a dinosaur now.

Oh yeah, lots of growing pains and difficult to get relevant experience for a long time. It's better now, it's more entrenched but I still have to put the bull-shit filter up when interviewing security techs, for me experience trumps a bunch of papers. Too many paper-techs who have all kinds of degrees/certifications but no experience in applying their theoretical "knowledge" in the real world ;)

And yeah, there's no such thing as standing still in the tech game, 1 year out and you're a dino ;) It's been perfect for me as I would have been bored out of my mind without the constant learning and re-learning.

Hmmm, smelling a side-by-side down the road, just ordered 3 of these. Really liked the flexibility of multiple smaller panels in their design. I'll be able to use all 3, less if I'm running a smaller footprint and being individual panels I can stretch them to fit a larger footprint. Probably a little overkill for a 3x3' but I'll have to see what they can do first hand ;)

Coming soon...


Cheers :bigjoint:

Cheers @ttystikk , love my LED bud, now I can have more of them :) These should kick ass in a 3x3 or so. For smaller spaces and/or flexibility their design is awesome. At 1400ma they draw 110w each total with 100w of output, very efficient. Between these and the LEC's there's a few configs I'll be trying out this year :)

Yeah that's a lot of light if you're talking COBs. I'm thinking these would spread over 3.5x3.5' or 3x4' well. I'll be running 315w of CMH beside it covering up to 3.5x7'. I like the bud quality with LED, imo they bring out more terps..
