Not a lot has been happening recently. I've been trying to sort out my 3rd Year Project work as I'm fasting approaching the deadline and currently it's not working properly! More details on this will follow once it's completed.
I've almost finished collecting parts to built a headphone amplifier to test some of my new found soldering skills. All I'm missing is a couple of 1K resistors, some 3.5mm jack plugs, a bit of variboard and a case! Oh and a switch.
As someone pointed out to me the other day, I have actually got a ready built amplifier from my first year when I did the compulsory PIAE course. We soldered a couple of components onto a PCB. I'll dig that out when I'm at home. If I can find time to use an oscilloscope I may even put up a comparison.
I've also been playing with my eee trying to find a distribution that works really well. Having only a limited SSD I've tried the standard Asus *nix and it was crap, think I had Xubuntu and didn't really get on with that (maybe trying again soon), Ubuntu NBR, EaseyPeasey and I'm about to try installing Ubuntu from the alternate cd so I can install only the stuff I want. Watch this space!
