Is that your useless machine I saw on Think Geek's website? Congratulations! I like your wooden box better than their kit, but it's great that your genius idea is now available to the thinking masses... I hope they distribute your candle powered LED lamp too. I never thought the useless machine could be topped, but you did it!

Nope different useless machine. I was not the first to make one. Was first posted the author saskview (who also used a wooden box). I was just asked to make one for display at Maker Faire. Nonetheless, perhaps one of these days I will be able to turn one of these things into a nonsensical product. So far no luck.

I saw on my facepage that i hadnt published any guides.
Does this mean that I can publish Guides?
If I can I would like to know how.

Hey randofo! I wanted to make my older bro a guitar pedal or something for Christmas and was wondering if you had any good circuits for them. He has the basics, distortion, overdrive, digital delay etc. So something really out of the ordinary would be great. Thanks!

That is a good question. It would be fun to play around with guitars pedals again though. Let me think it over.

I sort of have something already, but it is an acquired taste. Anyhow, I will be posting it in a few weeks or so probably, so you can see it then.
