. This is turning into quite a hiatus. Last post on Oct 19, 2008. 11:27 AM. Come back, Patrik. We miss you.

Yeah, I've been digging into some of the older instructables, from 2-3 years ago. There's some really nice stuff in there, but they've been "under-featured" so far. Heck, I don't think they even had a "feature" feature at that time. I do try to restrain myself though - I'm aiming to feature no more than one old instructable for every new one, and I sometimes scan several pages before I find an oldie that catches my attention.

Heh, yeah, I noticed some were from 2006 and stuff. You're one of those persons that can feature Instructables, like Brennn10 and Kiteman, am I right?

says:
Well, look who's talking! ;-) Yeah, that caricature is ancient by now. I'm really attached to it though, not because it shows my in my youthful glory (ahem...), but because it's so beautifully done. I had it made near Montmartre in Paris, and I must have hit upon one of the local artistic geniuses. He whipped out a charcoal sketch in what seemed like 10 minutes or so. It doesn't show as well on this scale, but his technique is really amazing. Much of the shading, for example, like at the eyebrows and cheeks, is just one deft stroke of a charcoal stick... I've had a few other caricatures done by street artists since, but none that comes even close to this one. So until I find a worthy successor I'm stuck with this one! :-) Anyway - if I had trimmed my beard I'm sure you would have seen the resemblance. It was great meeting you and your folks at the HQ - what a place, eh? How did your parents feel about you meeting a bunch of strangers from a website? Somewhere between creeped out and hopeful that their son would pursue a career in engineering? ;-)

Nah, they were very proud of me.
It was nice meeting you too, at first I was like "Oh, Patrick, okay, this is just some random guy..."...
But then I remembered the resistor forum topic and everything, and my mind started spinning at 360 degrees at over 60mph, and then BAM! I remembered everything, so I was like ooooooooh. The Patrik with a K (as in without the C).
Heh. Did you guys buy those T-shirts?
That was so awesome how they gave me those stickers.

Yeah, I have a suspicion that I'll find a robot sticker on every street corner, next time I'm in the LA area! :-D

I'm not sure if I'm doing that.... I might frame the sheets. Seriously.
Apr 15, 2008. 9:34 PMPatrik (author)
says:
Nah - take a picture of yourself with the sheets, and frame *that*. Or cut out an 8.5x11" piece from both, and frame those - nobody will know. ;-) Besides, I'm sure Eric didn't give you those stickers just to hang on your wall, right? Hand them out to friends at school. Stick them up on the bulletin board next to the toilet in your local coffee shop. Leave a stack out for people to grab at the next science fair. Stick one on a telephone pole when nobody's looking. Just don't put them where they might cause more annoyance than goodwill (e.g. on a store window without permission...) I'll leave it up to you to decide where the boundary between free speech and littering lies...

I used them all. I gave them all away at school to almost the whole school-- and I used many. They're like, everywhere at school almost. Well, not really. But so many people had them. I gave 4 to each person that asked-- that's probably over 100 people. :P

Yeah, I kind of feel bad if I frame it. I'll give them out most likely. Put them places. Always.... always...

If you mean my question on your "the evil of you tube" forum topic - I wasn't being mean - I was trying to be helpful. I just don't understand what the problem is that you're trying to get help with.
The performance traces you posted look fairly normal to me: CPU usage at 7%, Page File usage less than 500Mb, and just a brief spike in wireless usage. Are you sure you posted the correct traces, because those sure don't seem to illustrate "the evil of you tube"...

Heh - the irony is, I only found out about that more than a month after I started reading Instructables. :-)
I've only been to Squid Labs once so far - for their Halloween party. Hoping they'll do some more Show&Tell's. Seems like a fun crowd to hang out with.
