3mm Larger PCB

Published February 9, 2009

Because the PCB can slide past the bezel I will be able to make the PCB 3mm longer so that it will sit directly against the front and rear panels.

Today I received the enclosures for the SDrive NUXXes and found that I forgot to take into account the 1.5mm thick plastic bezels. This meant that I had to make the PCB 3mm longer, so that it’s now 123mm x 100mm. Now I just have to finish tweaking how far back from the edge of the PCB the tactile switches sit and it should be time to call this v1.0 and order a prototype run.

Home-made Enchiladas

Published February 9, 2009

Enchiladas which I am eating for lunch, made by Danielle the night before.

Today’s lunch is these enchiladas, which are leftover from those that Danielle made last night. They are fresh corn tortillas, steamed, filled with refried beans, cheese, and fried onion. The refried beans were made fresh, with nitrite-free bacon renderings and onion, and the onions in the enchiladas themselves were fried up in the pan the bacon was rendered in. Mmm. This is really, really good.
