No need for curses. Looks like some folks could benefit from a soldering workshop. With a little practice soldering the larger surface mount is not too bad. If there's any interest, when I get back to town (in September) I can give a soldering workshop for people who want to learn soldering (total newbies) as well as those wanting to get better at it so they can do surface mount. In 90 minutes everyone will be confident that they can solder.<br><br>Mitch.<br><br><br><br><hr>Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:57:31 -0700<br>From: arramsabeti@gmail.com<br>To: jim@well.com<br>Subject: Re: [Noisebridge-discuss] intro to jim<br>CC: noisebridge-discuss@lists.noisebridge.net<br><br><div dir="ltr">Hi Jim.<br>

hello, i'm jim. i like linux, know a little<br>
bit about electronics (enough to lament the<br>
advent of surface mount chips, they seem hard<br>
to solder), know a bit about programming and<br>
system administration, live in san francisco,<br>
have no pets, am in an old school punk rock<br>
band called the nubs (KUSF liked and still<br>
sometimes plays cuts from our CD), and am<br>
interested in the nb effort to get a place:<br>
i have some construction skills (can bend<br>
EMT pipe and pull wires and set up sub-panels<br>
for regular old split-phase 110/220 and even<br>
three phase). once upon a time i was actually<br>
good with an airless paint sprayer and also<br>
brushes (don't like rollers much). when i do<br>
drywall, it doesn't look great, but a lot of<br>
people don't seem to notice the troughs and<br>
warps and dimples.... i can fix most toilets<br>
and do some plumbing (copper, soil pipe,<br>
simple fixture stuff).<br>
i own a PA system and some microphones and<br>
a protools recording set up.<br>
i live in san francisco and hate parking.<br>
i also hate commuting, tho' i seem to drive<br>
a lot.<br>
i like to be helpful.<br>
<br>
