My Spinneret numero uno kicked the bucket this week. Spinneret_1 ran nonstop for several years logging hits from all over the world as it server up an HTML tutorial. I’m going to miss numero uno…

    Any idea what happened? Old age? Stroke? Chipacardial infarction?

    I can only speculate. Generally when I kill electronics there's a defining moment like a spark or a puff of smoke. In this case, the Spinneret seemed to slowly fade away. It started with inconsistent initialization. I blew it off as buggy code or the power supply. Cursory debugging indicate the propeller and W5100 are unable to communicate.

    Oh wow!! What odd timing!

    Yesterday at 5 PM I watched my first spinneret, xbee, prop plug and an sdcard get murdered by a lightning strick about a 100 yards away. Scared the Smile out of me because I saw the fizzle and pops, then the boom of thunder and then everything went dark lol... all I could think was "Am I dead? Where exactly did I just put my finger???"
