I Live.... Again

I haven't fallen off the map. I've been too busy keeping Plasmafit updated during my training. When I wasn't updating Plasmafit, I was updating Fragwell. I really need to combine the two, actually.

The circuit breaker I spoke of was replaced quickly and dissected for troubleshooting. I don't know (or care) what it did, but there was a 1206 SMD resistor with a scorch mark halfway across the package. That was the cause of the tripping, for sure. The new one has been solid since Day zero.

I found out my recently installed space heater is wired wrong. I would have sparky blackouts in my shop when it moved and caught one in the act one day. The outer portion of the heater case is supposed to be neutral, which is connected to ground via a bunch of other devices in my house. Well. it's not. That heater has the case connected to the hot lead. Someone was playing around inside it. It was sitting on top of the rack for Legacy/Kitten and would touch the case when moved with vibration. No wonder the arc took out a small chunk of the case. I've kept the heater mounted on wood for a while so I didn't have to go tearing it apart. I still have to do it, though.

The Legacy upgrade project went through two sets of upgrades and a name change. It's now being called the Dashcat Personal Supercomputer, or DashcatPSC for short. It's named after my cat, Dash. He was adopted from a family who named him after a character in The Incredibles.
