azi am dat peste un top cică al celor mai bune fotografii din anul 2009... via nwradu... nu-mi plac toate, nici măcar jumătate, dar unele sunt chiar superbe... nu mi-a plăcut că jumate din ele sunt numai din lumea a treia şi prezintă numai război şi foamete... nu vreau realitate, vreau artă...

preferata mea este evident cea pe care am pus-o şi ca poză de post, cu suporterii naţionalei Mozambicului... după 10 minute de râs la poză, încă mai găseşti câte un detaliu în care care te face să râzi iar...

Freescale Race Challenge

am văzut afişul prin facultate şi ne-am înscris... eu şi scurtu (o să mai auziţi de noi)... unul din cele mai interesante proiecte practice de electronică care există...

echipa noastră se numeşte RoadKill... mwuahahahahaha....

deocamdată elementele de logistică tipice ţării în care trăim (laboratoare fără calculatoare, fără net, uşi fără cartele) au cam stricat farmecul, dar ne-am obişnuit deja cu asta... ieri am început lucrul pe un traseu de test (vezi poza)...

mai multe detalii pe măsură ce maşinuţa capătă inteligenţă şi trece de prima etapă (10 ianuarie, finala pe facultate)...

şi spatele convertorului...

unul din multele proiecte la care am lucrat în ultima vreme este un circuit de electronică de putere, un convertor ridicător de tensiune, care transformă o tensiune continuă de aproximativ 12 V într-o tensiune continuă reglabilă în plaja 24-55 V... foloseşte o topologie Boost şi este super util atunci când trebuie să alimentezi ceva cu o tensiune mare (de exemplu polarizarea de contrast pentru un lcd) atunci când n-ai la dispoziţie decât o baterie de maşină sau un alimentator banal de 12 V...

fac publică toată documentaţia proiectului, poate îi este utilă şi altcuiva...

unele posturi de pe blogul ăsta sunt veşnic valabile :)

ne-a dat peste cap programul microbuzului toată zăpada asta... dar partea fericită din toată tărăşenia asta e că am primit următorul mail absolut genial de la secretară la care am râs câteva minute bune încontinuu:

“Dragi colegi,

Datorită condiţiilor meteo nefavorabile, cursele cu microbuzul către metroul Pipera se vor efectua după cum urmează:

–          prima cursă la 17.30;

–          următoarea, şi ultima de altfel,  va fi la ora la care se va întoarce microbuzul în firmă;

Drept urmare, vă rugăm să vă încadraţi în acest orar.”

FA-BU-LOS :D:D:D
