As I wrote earlier, I ordered and Arduino Duemanilove and a Protoshield from eBay. Early this week it arrived and I was thrilled to get my hands on it. I haven’t had much chance to play with it yet, as we’ve had an immense snowstorm here. It’s been snowing for at least 4 days straight now, and that ammounts to over 4 feet of snow during those days alone. My back’s out and more snow is coming down. I don’t have much components lying around, as I forgot to order them and there’s no way I can drive to get some. I have some stuff I want to try but for now they’ll have to wait.

I came across the YouTube user makemagazine a while back, but forgot about it until I found it again yesterday. There is also a website MakeZine where the videos and content is available.
If you, like me, enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together (might not be in the original shape/way/form), this site is a must-read for ideas.

Just a quick post, as I really shouls have been in bed a looong time ago. Working early tomorrow…
All the tanks are doing wonderfully and fish are growing well. The JD’s are slow growing, but the PP’s are “monsters”. They’ve been out of danger for some time now, as they’re much to big to be prey. Hoping the JD’s will kick in shortly 
On a whole other note: I’ve never really been much of a gamer, but recent events have got me to endeavor into this world. I’ve never had a computer that was built for games, but during the last year or so I’ve had the urge to build one. Last week I finally did it, and this time I put the effort into making it reliable for games.
Specs and all that sort of thing might just come, if I find the time.
Well, now I’m off to bed getting far to little sleep but hey… That’s one thing I’m used to!!!
