    But there are the ???? that claim their curtains fade because there is more sunlight - can you believe this?

    I can believe curtains fade more in summer because there is more sunlight but that has absolutely nothing to do with DST.

    What I want is to permanently stay on DST, no fall back.

    Only stupid people think there is more sunlight, LOL. It's just shifted in time by an hour.

    Registration link added for this week's P2 Live Forum.

    No particular topics yet: just support inquiries and open discussion.

    @Ken,

    If you like I could spend a few minutes explaining my new P2 RetroBlade board. The pcb is being made now so I should have bare pcbs back in about 2 weeks.

    That would be great, Ray.

    I will have my P2D2+P2PAL combo made up as well. I'm just about to paste up one of these P2D2 boards and make sure it's right. Then I will do the same with the P2PAL. To check my solder and temperatures beforehand I finished making up a small strip of the uPORT modules that I broke off a panel and manually pasted.

    I use a metal base and magnetic clips to hold the pcb during pick n place.

    Eagerly awaiting the 10/14/2020 video as I missed the first 45 minutes.

    FYI: This week NASA is broadcasting the OSIRUS-REx TAG event - scooping the soil from asteroid Bennu about the same time as the usual Zoom meeting. I'll be watching this instead.

    ORIRUS-REX just retrieved material from the asteroid 5:13 CST US.

    No reason now that you can not attend the Zoom meeting. :)

    WOW. I thought they had said it would happen Wednesday evening (Thursday morning Ozzie time). Now we wait to see how much soil they collected :)

    Oh. It's the video of the touchdown that is Wednesday evening.

    Shall we skip this week's P2 Live Forum, or have we got some technical inquiries that need attention?

    We can skip if you put up last weeks video. :)

    You're darned right, Jim. I've been taking my sweet time getting that video posted and I apologize. You have my cell number and e-mail. I know many would really like to have the P2 Live Forum tomorrow, including you.

    Just spoke with Chip and he's under pressure (from me). We will take this week off P2 Live Forum because we've got some BIG stuff ahead of us next week. I've got to get this new web site done, for starters. It's going to kill me before I finish it.

    Video going to be uploaded now.

    Thanks,

    Hey all,

    We've got some tremendous big topics next week: ersmith will talk FlexC and BASIC, TeamOz on MicroPython.

    It'll be a two-hour meeting to show some really nice progress.

    Thanks very much to Eric and TeamOz for these long-term P2 efforts you've been developing.

    My work schedule dictates I wait for the video to be posted. :(
  • banjobanjo Posts: 447
    Yeah, my work schedule again dictates I should go to sleep as the event starts 11 PM my time. The start time is not too bad, it's the end time that will hurt my work schedule next day...
