Banned!

[Rozalka]

Leslie is banned because the last 3 persons (except me) banned only me!

 

[LeslieA]

Rozalka is banned for crying on my shoulder. I don't choose who people ban or why.

 

[Aratingettar]

LeslieA is banned for being a merciless banner.

Thank you for posting Aratingetter.

Aratingetter is banned Because, get this, we had an xray that idiots wired up to just beep when it rejected and not keep a constant alarm till a reset button was pushed. QUality assurance didn't like this and wanted it to be like it was before (lots of other people messed with it).

I tasked a junior electrical tech (older than me) to latch the klaxon relay but not the kickoff relay, so it would cycle with each pulse but the klaxon would stay on till cleared.

I drew him a quick print replace the NO button contact some idiot added with a NC button contact. The relay is double pole double throw so I was like just use the other pole to latch the klaxon relay when it's triggered by the I/O.

This took 3 hours....when he did it he was like ok it stays on but the pusher stays out... I'm like oh it's the same trigger, (look in toolbox, grabs a simple diode), here use this..."whats a resistor going to do?" "um it's a diode"..."um is it, ok"

So I had to make another drawing of how to not make the klaxon relay latch effect the other kickoff relay. Finally the cleaning crew is going to come in. I said ok, stop.... wired in the diode to block the latching 24volts to only the klaxon relay, ran the wires to the NC button. about say 8 minutes... he spent about 5 hours thinking about it...even with the schematics I drew him. it was two wires to the button and a jumper to the other pole of the relay.

So I'm kinda pissed. I could have given clark my conure the print an by shear coincidence he could latch a relay with a diode to prevent the feedback in less time than this guy.

So anyways he's on notice with a performance improvement plan. The funny thing is he's had more schooling on paper than me.

Goes to show you how just getting you butt kicked is much better than school sometimes.


So anyways...Aratingetter is banned for me having to be an ass to an older but "know nothing" junior Electrical tech.

 

[Rozalka]

Clark conure is banned for writing the longest post in the "banned" history

 

[clark_conure]

But Rozalka is banned because now she knows how to latch a relay for free and doesn't appreciate that knowledge.

But at least you blocked the quick comeback from Aratingetter. lol

 

[Rozalka]

Clark conure is banned because I'm not an Electrical Tech and my vocabulary in this topic is poor

 

[Aratingettar]

Rozalka is banned for interfering with my response to Clark_conure.
Well.... I'm not an Electric Tech, I'm an Electronic engineer, so my approach to such problems is to grab some MCU (ARM preferably), put few TACT switches and an LCD display in, and get some most advanced and flexible KLAXON relay controllers on the planet. Well, I might also drop some Bluetooth so you could adjust the KLAXON sound pattern using your iPhone. Why?... Because... Why not?


And one more thing: RE "clark my conure by sheer coincidence could latch a relay with a diode":
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE YOUR CONURE!

 

[LaManuka]

All geeks and nerds are now hereby BANNED (I guess there’s no-one left now!)

 

[ChristaNL]

LaManuka is banned because I need her to be somewhere else
(creating more poetry, let these guys fry on their own )

 

[Aratingettar]

Christa is banned for encouraging poetry creation instead of studying the virutes of EE

 

[ChristaNL]

Aratingettar is banned because any job done right is poetry-in-motion

 

[Rozalka]

Christa is banned because I'm drinking a pomelo juice for the first time

 

[ChristaNL]

Rozalka is banned because she did not tell us if she liked it. (How do you like it?)

 

[Rozalka]

Christa is banned because I love pomelos and also I like a pomelo juice

 

[LaManuka]

Rosalka is banned because I am extremely drunk, and hubby just told me that he’d spend $60 million (tonight’s lottery prize) on 3 house blocks,!and a walk thru aviary, and full security systems, and a condominium in Thailand for me until its all built... and for hiring staff to care for the aviary while I’m gone... God love him... so please forward your applications henceforth....

 

[ChristaNL]

LaManuka is banned for being drunk without me (and your hubby totally rules!!)


(do not forget the second and third walk-in-aviary in your Thailand residence - I will have to bring my birds too!)

 

[LaManuka]

ChristaNL is banned cos now hubby and I are arguing about how big the bottoms on brandy glasses should be... I say they can’t be big enough.. and the doors to my condo in Thailand are always open

 

[ChristaNL]

LaManuka is banned because everybody knows the bottom of the glass should fit in the palm or your hand, so you can warm the brandy with your bodyheat and make it more fragrant (and thus even more enjoyable to drink. I'll just have a whiskey plze/ in the mood for irish / not really a fan of brandy.)

 

[ChristaNL]

(I actually should ban myself for discussing hard liquor way before lunchtime. )
