[OT] dayjob haha?
..geeking.
Just got in a part for a project at work, one tiny problem though.
Seems it should have been ordered as a DIP IC but the folks that help do
the paper pushing ordered a "better" version. Where "better" is µSOP.
Piccy note "normal" 8 pin IC and the penny.

If things keep up this way I'm gonna have to lay off
the coffee and get a pair of reading glasses.
Oh well. The job keeps me in Jeep parts. :)

Re: [OT] dayjob haha?
Well when I was hacking my nvidia card a few years back, I found the
swinging magnifying glass with lights (vs reading glasses) overtop the
soldering station to be the only way I could handle that surface mount
stuff.

Just my digital camera. A Cannon S200 2.0 megapixel
set to "macro" and held about 4" or so from the chip.
Only thing I don't like about the S200 is it's lousy
for dim-light conditions or backlit subjects even with
the flash. Then again I bought it just for a toy to do
website stuff and surveys. The newer 4-5mp cameras are
amazing.
