The million year old blog
14 May
Something’s terribly wrong with me today! I’ve been debugging the simplest mere extension circuit for hours now and I still can’t get it to work! All bloody analog…nothing fancy. Now I have a blown up op-amp & 2 burnt finger tips, and after looking around for God knows how long I just realized that I have a reversed zener-d and for some reason I just couldn’t see it. Golly…I’m quite sure there are a few more of “that” type of problems laying around staring at me right now. I should probably leave it for now….at least for a few hours.
As for World Cup frenzy….well I’m still pretty ticked off over Iran’s pathetic [for one kind word] performance in the game vs. Mexico. I’ve received all sorts of lectures on why things happened the way they happened and why this was to be expected….not like they make me feel any better. England’s team however has so far done well….& my fave match so far was the Ghana vs. Italy game. One hell of a game that one.
And as for my Greek language studies….it’s going fine, thanks for asking! 🙂 I mean it’s going as fine as it can possibly go given the conditions! It’s funny how everything tends to sound 180Ëš different than what I would expect according to the alphabet basics. My search for “living resources” is still “on going”…… On the plus side, teaching Persian to my German friend is going pretty smooth.
Now only if I could figure how this thing is supposed to sound like……:P

Ouch! Sorry about the fingure tips! And sorry about Iran’s loss, but your other half is doing fine as you said.
Are Greek people so hard to find?
LOL…well it’s proving that way!
LOL, fun! Blew an op-amp eh? 😀 Did it go gzzzzzzzzzzzz? Was there smoke??
If there was a gzzzzzz or smoke would I have 2 burnt finger tips now? 😛
OOOOH you Italy fan! Like I don’t know why you like the Italy-Ghana game! 😀
😀 Ehmmmmm….about the GZZZZZZZ, good point!!
Reversed zener eh? Yeah that can be annoying. But was that why your amp blew?
Nope there were some other serious problems with the configuration….the voltage going in was quite a bit larger than what I meant for it to be! 😛
Hey by the way I still have that blown up pic chip of yours! 😛
wow who are you teaching persian to? How difficult is that?
She’s teaching my friend Thorsten (you may know him as Thor). Well he seems quite happy so far.
Hey did you watch the France Switzerland game? That result was UN-BLOODY-BELIEVABLE!! You’d think that France would at least score a few!!!
No chance finding Greek people yet? How come?
Teach me persian when you’re done teaching thor! Seriously, I would love it.
@ Darren: Get in line DUDE! 😀
BTW sorry about Iran’s game, but you yourself didn’t have that much hope, come on!
Yeah I totally agree with you on the Italy-Ghana game being the best so far. It was worth watching.
Is Persian easy to learn? 🙂
ASK ME! I’m learning it….it’s not too hard if you get yourself a good instructor! 😉
Huh? Come on, you can’t find Greek people? How’s that possible? I mean they should be somewhere on the net right? 😀
LOL it’s not “can’t find Greek people”, it’s not like Greek people are off the web or something….but it’s also not like I can send a message to just anyone and ask stuff. I’m not getting much back from the online language forums and I just don’t know who to bother. That’s the problem. 😛 Ok?
The question is what got into you anyways? I mean Greek? Like Rene said, “you have friends from all over the globe, now suddenly you’ve decided to learn a language from a nation that you don’t know anyone from?”
Hey blue, don’t listen to these guys! Go ahead and learn the language! I support thee!
yeah sure, I 2nd that. Learn it. It’s kool. It’s totally you. 😉
