The Master Reading a Book

True, the correct pronunciation is 'sodderin' iron... ;-)

Charlie

To annoy Americans?

More like, sodderin' aern, as in "Hey bubba, you usin' 'at there sodderin' aern?"

I've never met a redneck who could solder. They preferred a cutting torch.

I've heard a few 'knuckle draggers' call them 'slobberen arns'. They they would scream after picking up the wrong end.

"arn" is the correct pronunciation ;-)

I did that wrong-end stunt exactly once... taught me to always look up (from my OptiVisors) rather than just reaching blindly :-(

Amazing how fast one can react from the "ssssst" heard before the pain registers ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Only because some eejit designed the keyboard with the 'o' next to the 'i'!

Ah, that wonderful aroma of burning flesh!

I also had TO-18 sized burns on my finger tips ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I was thinking "Discount bin already?"

Now that John Fields has posted his video of the 5uA movement meter, perhaps it's time to get a video of Jim reading his book. :-)

Or working SPICE. That'd be cooler, actually.

Think what you want.... the publisher has just knocked out an additional 1 Million copies.

From what I hear the publisher had already reached profitability in the first release... sold out before availability ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I'm doing process corner simulations for a chip due to release to layout on December 1.

Not much to see, looking at me.

If you have GoToMeeting, and wish to pay, you could see my other screens ;-) ...Jim Thompson

How about, "Jim shows us the tricks to making a 35mW, 3.3V, 1GHz GBW op-amp using commodity transistors like the BFS17. Then he changes over to TSMC BJTs to obtain 3GHz out of the same design..."

Its classified.

What was the name of your #1 best seller?

Think of it as just another tax break for the wealthy. :-)

True story: When the 9/11 Commission Report was published, our local bookstore had some of the overstock (high on the shelves) positioned right above the "fiction" sign. It's the bookstore right across from the university, so I never knew if it was a prank, or if the employees (mostly students) just didn't pay any attention...

And left fingerprints in molten tin on the can.

No, it's bullshit. No #1 seller was ever classified.
