Musical Tesla Coil Plans [Updated...]
A great deal of people seem to land in my blog searching for the plans for building a Musical Tesla Coil. Therefore, I decided to do some researching myself and I am posting here my findings. I hope you find them useful
Very Detailed Technical Plans [Broken]
Till the next time!
Update: So apparently I still get loads of hits from people trying to get their hands on the schematics for Tesla Coils. I'm afraid I can't help you much on musical Tesla coils, but here's a great website that describes all that you need to know to build just a funky Tesla coil: http://www.alansharp.co.uk/homepage.htm - now, go crazy! If you manage to build one, be sure to come back here and post an image. If you post one on the comments zone, I'll incorporate it into the post
Staples Leiria – July 6th 2009
Below is a shot taken in Leiria, Portugal at the doors of the chain retailer Staples. The crowd patiently awaits for the doors to open for a stock-off sale. Later on people ended up losing their patience and forced the entry; the police was called to the spot to help with the crowd control.
There are reports of people literally camping the store, having parked there at 22h of the previous day and slept there during the night. Amazing.
The end of the Ubuntu vs. Windows war!
YAY!
Christopher Dawnson over at ZDNet has announced the end of the Ubuntu vs. Windows war, the world is safe again!
Till the next time!
WAIT! Hold it!
What the heck?! Wasn't ZDNet supposed to be a reliable source of information regarding technology? So what are these shenanigans about his 17 year old saying that they're the same? I'll tell you what it is: it is the most bold statement I've heard all year, and also the most idiotic one. So just because a 17 year old says that they're the same, 6 billion people will just agree and this fact will just be set in stone? Bullshit.
Windows and Linux are different; it's about time people realize that. I absolutely need both so is this proof enough that they are ultimately different?
Christopher says: "Their underlying architectures are quite a bit different, Gnome looks different than the 7 UI, etc.". The underlying architectures are quite a bit different, Gnome looks different than 7 does, but apart from that, which by the way is everything that effing matters in an Operating System, they're pretty much the same.
I have a Hyundai Getz, my neighbour has a Ferrari, but apart from the engine and the chassis they're pretty much the same. They both have wheels! A whole set of four! So they must be the same...
Come on guys... get serious.
