It CAME.

Admittedly it came while I was out, so I had to leave my signature on the UPS form for the guy to drop it off tomorrow, but still. IT CAME.

I gots me some LEARNING to do.

I think I'm afraid.

Impressed.

But afraid.

[camwyn]

Bad time to mention this arrived at my office today, too?

There's a soldering iron and a multimeter in the order from Abra...

.... ohno.

(Right, time to start up the Computer Interfaces for Evil Technologies project...)

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

Brilliant.

Would this be a good time to mention I have the perfectly matched focusing crystals for the Big Evil Sciency Death Laser?

[camwyn]

Let me work through the book first. This is how I learn electronics.

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

Aww, but death laser!

Ah, I've waited this long, I can wait a bit longer. I learned what pathetic electronics I know through researching mercury-arc rectifiers, which means that my knowledge is firmly grounded in 1941.

Weeeeeelll.....

Can I be your sidekick?

[camwyn]

Eh, why not. Can you cackle? I can't cackle. I just horselaugh. Someone in a mad scientist's lab ought to be able to cackle.

You have death lasers and you didn't tell me? Damn it, Viv, at least give me the opportunity to make you a counter offer.

*Pokes the kit* You sure? This thing isn't even breathing hard, is it?

[camwyn]

You get the Egon icon for that one.

[pandoras-closet.livejournal.com]

Whoo hoo! Yay! Egon!

That's keen. I particularly like the theme of the circuits, over and above the providing of the parts and stuff.

I still have at least a few of the books, and a gym bag full of busted up tape decks and such that parts could be desoldered from, etc., from back when I was into hobby electronics, before I realized that I liked writing programs (and, even more so, running/administering systems) than I liked all the scarier parts of the Electrical Engineering degree, and punted for Computer Science.

Actually, I wasn't even really all that good an electronics hobbyist, 'cause I couldn't ever really get it together to try etching my own PCBs for making circuits. The book knowledge has occasionally come in handy in other contexts, though, so it's at least been worth it anyway.

*cackles at both the joke and the Egon icon*

*raises hand*

I call dibs on your first, interdimentional portal!

[slarti.livejournal.com]

I'd settle for just a teleportational portal. Y'know, one point to another around the world, let alone going across dimensions.

My primary want for anything involving playing around with dimensions would be to have a TARDIS. I wouldn't even necessarily need the time travel capability. Just having a dimensionally transcendental space to live in and store my stuff, that I could move the much smaller interface police call box/roman column/etc. from one place to another would be good enough.

(The main trick would be getting together the Eye of Harmony which serves as combination power source and dimension-altering workshop for constructing TARDISes. Given that the EoH is a black hole, that might be tricky. I thought I'd found something that might do the job, except that no one really wanted to have anything to do with a vehicle constructed/powered by the tank pump from my last apartment's toilet. So, back to the drawing board.)

ROCK. ON.

I could use a soldering iron; I need to do some repairs to some stuff in the room. PLUS the circuitry...dang, Og, you're making me drool now.

[truebluespark]

I would like to sign up for a teleportation portal as well plzkthx.

Sweeeeet. If in your evilness you need a feline companion, I'm sure Chesh could spare a kitten. Although catbuses really don't seem evil.

*grins* In every drama club play, I was the witch.

I scared small children with that cackle.

[truebluespark]

Pardon me, I'm just going to sit over here and envy.
