   Look up the term "ego"  :-)

> These are cautionary tales, Not eulogistic valedictions

   Mostly just looks like excuses to trash
   everybody else 'inferior'.

   We all have different skill sets and levels.
   I get into a lot of areas you don't - that's
   for sure. Not all are 'tech' - but AS informative
   and interesting.

   Had 'good', but not 'extreme', experience with
   computers/electronics since the very old days.
   However I did find those 'other interests' to
   dilute my attention. Not ashamed ... I'm kind
   of the New World Handyman, the Generalist. Know
   ENOUGH about a LOT of things so I can see
   bullshit and chart a good course.

   Seems like nobody else can match your
   computer skill-set - but we are not in these
   groups because we know EVERYTHING - but because
   we need extra input on esoteric issues. MANY
   of those these days.

   For fun, look into Sumeria ... very informative
   where it comes to latter regional cultures.
   Provides 'context', more "Big Picture" about
   how and why things are so fucked up. How's
   yer base on mRNA vaccines ? Heavy industrial
   control panels ? What "fittest" really means ?

   It's a BIG universe - not ALL computers.

:-)

People increasingly don't _like_ a generalist these days though. (Unless
it has changed since I left work.) In my career - which was in
electronics - I _was_ a generalist (though more on the digital than
analogue side), but bosses don't know where to put you: management likes
pigeonholes. In general life, I try to learn a bit about a lot - for
example, I keep learning wrinkles of plumbing, and have added a
washbasin for friends, and recently learnt how to repair a
poorly-flushing WC cistern; I know how to wire a plug and generally
troubleshoot a lot of things. I don't say this to brag, more puzzlement
that lots of people don't have the curiosity.

Later? (Sorry, grammar/language are another of my interests, though that
may be family influence.)

Oh, as in "survival of"? Yes, that one really bugs me (when people
assume it means "as in a gymnasium"; it is better [in modern English]
expressed as "best suited" rather than "fittest").

I've never changed a diaper and if you're dying you'd better call a

I joined the Australian Army in 1973. Did a three year Electronics 
Apprenticeship. If, at the end of the 'official' course, we had passed 
all the Trade, General Education and Military Subjects, there was a 
fortnight of 'Additional Study' we could do ..... which was an 
introduction to these newfangled things called 'And', 'Or', 'Nand',

It was software not hardware but I did learn how to waste public money on 
the one DoD project I was involved with.

I have a problem with the people who say 'Oh, your factory closed down. 
Learn to code.' I don't consider programming ability to be any indicator 
of greater intelligence but there is a personality type that is drawn to 
the field and enjoys it. 

When the demographics changed and Massachusetts had an overabundance of 
elementary school teachers the idea was they could all find work in the 
software industries. I can't think of a personality type further from the 
usual programmer than a 4th grade teacher.

On the contrary: if good people are not recognised, they _may_ give up
doing whatever the good thing is, even if it takes many years; a
_little_ praise often goes a long way. In these 'groups - well, the
Windows 10 one anyway (also 7 and XP in the past) - I've had good
information and advice, even if I haven't always agreed with (or
understood!) it, from, among others, Mayayana (I think using a different
name now), Winston, VanguardLH, and above all Paul.

Also, if you never mention good people but only tell "cautionary tales",
_you_ become known as a misery-guts, complainer, etcetera. And some
people start to ignore you.

Oh they already do that, in droves.

As I said some people are not worth bothering with, so it doesn't bother me.

The first company I worked for made dielectric preheaters with the largest 
production model putting out 15 KW. It was a rather simple oscillator with 
a Eimac triode.

https://www.g8wrb.co.uk/data/Eimac/3CX15000A3.pdf

The capacitors and diodes were made in house. They weren't something you 
could pick up at RadioShack. I don't remember how many diodes were chained 
but it was more than 15. They were soldered in a jig and then the whole 
assembly was potted into a brick about 12" long with lugs on both ends. 

The capacitors were fabricated from aluminum and RTV. The coils were 
constructed from 1" wide copper strips. The whole oscillator assembly 
looked very industrial rather than the simple circuit it was.

Back in my Australian Army HF Comms days, several of the (AWA E517/E519) 
Transmitters produced over 20kW output over the HF Frequency Range.

As far as I know there were only EVER two AWA E517's (40kW PEP) ever 
made ... and they were so bleeding edge at the time that the AWA 
technicians initially employed to maintain/repair them would often 
bypass Faulty Circuitry rather than fixing it .... so, later in the 
Equipments lives, when the Aust Army Technicians (like ME) went to fix 
them, the first thing that had to be done was to find the relevant set 
of Circuit Diagrams for the particular Transmitter so you knew what 
alterations had been made where!!

Fun and Games!!

It was discovered that a British sixpenny piece was exactly right for 
bypassing the interlock on the very high voltage Radar cabinets made by 
Marconis.

Since servicing one without power applied was essentially impossible...
..rather them than me. Cant remember what the magnetrons used, but it 
wasn't a dry battery...ah. 5.5kV. At 5A....

Type M565

Ah!! Memeories!! At one time, I was fixing one of the E519 Transmitters 
that wouldn't tune correctly ..... so I had to switch off the 7.5kV High 
Tension, turn off the Low Tension, walk around the back of the 7ft x 3ft 
Cabinet, slide open the cover, climb a three step ladder, undue four 
clips so I could remove the interier cover of the H.F. cabinet which 
caused a knife switch to short the H.T. capacitors to deck and reached 
in to make an adjustment and *ZAP* !!

Apparently, for some reason, the 7.5kV H.T. is filtered across two 
Capacitors and the knife switch shorts the top line to deck but did 
nothing to the mid-point, so as I reached in, the inside of my left 
fore-arm must have caught that mid-point.

My mind told me that my right hand had reached in and pulled my left arm 
off the Voltage point ...... somewhat difficult as I'd lost my right 
hand and fore-arm sometime earlier in a car accident.

Hmmm!! As I read this on my 16:9 screen, the Mail Agent screen is full

I try to arrange it so my taskbar is on the side (and the browser links 
bar is on the side too) so there's more vertical space for the web page,
