08:06 AM rue_mohr: oh no
08:06 AM rue_mohr: did you end up with the narrow ones or the fine pitch ones?
08:07 AM rue_mohr: I used what I find in all the e-waste
08:07 AM rue_mohr: sorry, I should have suggested you get all the chips before ordering the boards
08:08 AM rue_mohr: but I'm sure you should have those from the baords you stripped the 8051 from
08:10 AM polprog: no i ordered tssop instead of soic
08:10 AM polprog: i didnt strip the 8051s, i bought a whole bag of unsocketed PLCCs from andrew at the market
08:10 AM polprog: a year ago
08:33 AM rue_mohr: oh, someone else had you 373
08:51 AM polprog: :)
09:11 AM aandrew: weird, I have four emails from aliexpress expressing regret that four shipments were delayed... they were the fastest deliveries I'd had to date I think
01:02 PM polprog: im back
01:02 PM polprog: updated the box to debian 12
07:08 PM rue_mohr: did they give you $1 cupon for each?
07:08 PM rue_mohr: the cupons are real
10:56 PM aandrew: yep I have four coupons each $1 off for items that were most definitely not "late"
11:04 PM rue_mohr: go with it, its paid by aliexpress rich
11:05 PM rue_mohr: you can use 1/checkout
11:32 PM aandrew: once per checkout? So if I have 4 things I want to buy, in order to use the four coupons I have to check each one out individually?
11:36 PM rue_mohr: yea
11:36 PM rue_mohr: it sucks, but its something
11:36 PM rue_mohr: (better than 50c off a $500 purchase!)
11:41 PM aandrew: true enough

11:49 PM rue_mohr: another pcb I forgot I ordered arrived today
11:49 PM rue_mohr: plcc carrier with discrete provisions
11:50 PM rue_mohr: I got some 16V8's on some pcbs
11:51 PM rue_mohr: pulled them and worked out what they were (they were custom marked)
11:51 PM rue_mohr: thankfully the 16v8 was the only thing atmel ever made in a plcc20
11:52 PM rue_mohr: oh yea
11:52 PM rue_mohr: and that other dip40 pcb
11:52 PM rue_mohr: I can use it for hard setting address lines of a rom
11:52 PM rue_mohr: I think
11:53 PM rue_mohr: need to think of a good 16v8 project
11:56 PM rue_mohr: hmm, 8 bit pseudorandom number gen for white noise?
