Why is Slowman too busy to develop his oscillator? When I've had brainstorms I never let being busy hold me back for long. I couldn't stop myself from developing them. Slowman must not be very excited about his own oscillator idea or he would have developed it more. He had the parts time on his hands.
Can't have been all that busy then.
It can be exciting, the first time it happens, not that I can really rememb er much detail from back that far.
If I had an application for it, I'd be more interested. The simulations say that it ought to work. Proving the simulations in real life takes more wor k and offers less reward. I've done a significant chunk of that work, but r ight now I've got other stuff on my mind.

You've been unemployed or semi-retired for a LONG time, Slowman. You've had time. Your oscillator is a dead project yet you brought it up as if it was some sort of secret weapon? You once said that you moved to your wife's homeland because she had a good job. What ever happened to her job?
Because he's a lazy bum, of course.
*LOTS* of time. Busy? LOL!
Both my wife and I are Australians. You seem to have failed reading comprehension at some point.
Google Groups Advanced search could probably find what you've failed to remember correctly.

She's in medicine isn't she? If you and her were both Aussies then why did you think that the Netherlands would want you? Did you tell them about your super special oscillator project?
Wrong and wrong.
She was invited to apply for the job she got.
It hadn't started back then. In a sense it grew out of some work I did back in 1986 (which ended up in the Metal's Research GaAs single-crystal puller , which was making 95% of the single-crystal GaAs being produced in the wes t at the time) but I had other fish to fry at that time.

-- So it started in 1986? That's TWENTY SEVEN YEARS AGO! Why did you even mention it to anybody? Do you claim it on your resume/CV?
Give it rest will you? It's a hobby project. He could have had an idea in his teens and picked it up again in his retirement. What is wrong with that? Why are you obsessed with it (and him)?
He mentioned it here because that sort of thing is what the group is supposed to be about. Have *you* done anything?

There's so much hate directed at Sloman, and I wonder how much is because of politics or (more likely) his lack of humor. I can despise people whose politics hurts my country, but he doesn't vote in my country, and despising isn't hating anyway. Humorless people are not fun, but I don't hate them either. He's been helpful to me with some technical posts.
I was thinking of saying so to one and then the other, but didn't think either of them wanted to hear it.

I'm happy to blame it on the politics. Lack of humour doesn't seem to matte r around here - people here seem to prefer to laugh at posts that are unint entionally funny, like krw telling us that he has "proved" something.

It would be a full-time job despising people whose politics hurt the US - e very last Republican and Democrat for a start, not to mention every last ni twit who thinks that paying for an effective universal health care system w ould bankrupt the US - but despising that lot won't improve the US. Getting exasperated enough to encourage more constructive political movements migh t make more sense.
One of these days Tom Del Rosso may even get one of my jokes ...
I'm always glad to hear that I've been helpful with some technical posts. L istening to krw telling me that I'm a waste of space is a lot less worrying that having him say something positive about me would be, but it isn't exa ctly music to my ears.

Her contract included an age limit.
So what? There's a feature of my 1996 milli-degree-temperature-controller p aper that I first thought up in 1975.
When I got LTSpice on my home computer, I realised that I could model the 1
986 circuit with it, and was surprised how well it did. I'd known that it w as a lot better than the original Baxandall circuit, but not how much bette r"I spent the first half of 1988 working as a solo engineer upgrading the an alog electronics for the Cambridge Instruments gallium arsenide crystal pul ler, mainly working on the load cell to produce substantial improvements in its hour-to-hour stability, largely by minimising 1/f noise sources."

Slowman needs your help! LOL
If there is one thing I cannot stand, it is intolerance.

DL > If there is one thing I cannot stand, it is intolerance. You can't tolerate intolerance? LOL When Slowman the Australian Socialist spouts his knee jerk socialist propaganda and ad homs about conservatives in the USA, do you consider that to be intolerant, Don?
At least Bill Sloman puts forward an argument to support his stance, a lot of it makes sense. Be it politics or AGW he does seem to do his homework.
I'm surprised he bothers to reply to the trolling JT & JL put up to bait him.
Greegor obviously hasn't run into real socialist propaganda
"Ad hominem" implies that the victims of the rude comments are "hominem" which rather stretches the definition of humanity. Neither Greegor or krw qualify as sapient, and James Arthur hasn't had a new thought for years.
A remarkably silly response to what was obviously a comic post - an old joke, but well worth recycling.

Along similar lines..
Whenever people ask me about the epidemic proportions of ignorance and apathy, I tell them I don't know and I don't care.
