128.SPICE Simulation

ohmart — Wed, 23 May 2012 08:18:51 +0000

With apologies to Posh, Sporty, et al:

“Ha ha ha ha ha
Yo, I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want

If you simulate my future, forget my past
If you wanna diode with me, better make it fast
Now don’t go wasting my precious time
Get your model together we could be just fine

I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah
If you wanna be tran’s sistor, you gotta get with my friends
(Gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever, resistance always ends
If you wanna be thryistor, you have got to give
Spiking is too easy, but that’s the way it is…”

And so on, so forth, bag a footballer, live in the US, design a few dresses.. ad nauseum….

127.Pin Diodes

ohmart — Fri, 18 May 2012 08:31:22 +0000

In the world of high fashion, the only constant is that trends come and go blindingly fast. Sort of like pin diodes, intrinsically.

Sure, if you slow your glancing frequency down they might look like ordinary diodes, but what better to attenuate that gain around the waist, right?

Give sport a chance

Said George Orwell, before 1984 perhaps:

“Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence.

In other words, it is war minus the shooting.”

126.Balun

Here be me and me first mate, Roger, we be balun out der boat. He be transmitting oot one end about one quarter der water we be receiving in t’other end.

Arrgh.

125.Photo-interruptor!

ohmart — Fri, 04 May 2012 07:50:11 +0000

It only takes a split second for a photo-interruptor to detect an opportunity and take it.

Ergo, photo-interruptor.

124.Pink Noise Generator

ohmart — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 04:12:46 +0000

“Block out the world outside yeah yeah, baby, that’s right, oh yeah baby, honey – yeah! I don’t wanna diode, ‘cos we’re at a junction – baby, yeah!”

Pink noise generator. Of course.

123.Capacity

The judge finds the accused of sufficient capacity, and accordingly administers the appropriate charge.

No discharges without conviction here!

122.Trans-pose

ohmart — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 06:11:41 +0000

With a little artistic license, you can transpose signals. Of course, there are “no free lunches” in electronics – it’s not a perfect process… a little gets lost in transposition.

Ooh, ooh, new gallery

ohmart — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 07:13:19 +0000

Finally, I’ve added a fourth Gallery to Ohmart.Org, so you can see the latest cartoons, from 110 onwards. And to think it only took me, well… it’s up there, isn’t it?

Alert!

The hosting service for OhmArt.org announce that on 15th April 2012, all sites hosted by them will be down for a – quote – few hours – unquote, between 1400 and 2300 UTC. For maintenance, apparently, to make your browsing experience more efficient, green, and generally more wholesome. With cloud-based win-win scenario paradigms.

Y’know, when I was a kid, my teacher used to say: “use the word ‘couple’ when there’re two. If there are three, maybe four, use the word ‘few’. Otherwise, don’t”.

So while the site will be down for a “few” hours, I sincerely hope that the thousands of readers (read: “a few”) who regularly flock to the blog and site can manage to hold off for a while.

Accessing the site, that is – not refraining from going to the loo.
