2 Bonus Hours: Get Crackin'!

The Parallax Forums will be unavailable from 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM PDT on Saturday, July 27th while we perform system updates.

No Forum distractions for two hours Saturday morning, so who will make the most of that time?

Sleep in, or DO something productive, like build a robot?

    I always schedule my sleep time when and only when Parallax has a down time. I wouldn't want to miss a single pearl of wisdom as it drops here in real time from the lips of so many wize guyz.

    Let's see:
    Dishes need washing. NAH!
    Grass needs cutting. NAH!
    Shop needs straightening. NAH!
    NY Times crossword. NAH! ('Takes more than two hours.)
    Sleep. NAH! ('Can't sleep knowin' that someone's messin' with the forum innards again.)
    Pining for the fjords. NAH! ('Never been to the fjords.)
    Something -- anything -- productive. NAH! (Never on a Saturday.)
    Beer. NAH! ('Too early.)
    That leaves ... REDDIT! (Sigh. What has my life come to?)

    This is what I worked on during my two hours:

    Although I've been nibbling away at this project for a couple of months now. It's my use for the eBay steppers and a servo.

    @Martin - Is the servo for a pen lifter? Nice bot...

    My two hours came a more convenient time than on the west coast - but I was driving to camp to pick up my daughter.

    @erco - what did you do Mr. 92 to go?

    Yes it is, I'm working on the pen attachment next, and thanks for the compliment.
