Protip: even with a magnifier, attempting to solder SMDs without reading glasses is inadvisable at my age. :-| Just had a resistor fly off who knows where.
Protip #2: I probably should’ve bought extras.
Oh well…was planning on building 10 boards, but only need 2 right away.

If they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all:

More proof we’re living in an Idiocracy. I’d bet this juror would drown if he looked up to the sky while it was raining:

Those who would deny you the ability to defend yourself are no less evil than the shooters.

…and then there were two. :) I added the regulator on the right to allow a second pressure to be set in the kegerator. I can keep beer at 10 psi or so and hard carbonated water at 30.
(Hard carbonated water? Dump a handle and a fifth of vodka into a 5-gallon keg, top off with water, and carbonate for a week. 10 psi was barely fizzy, but 30 should work.)

If you do ASP.NET development on a Windows 10 box and you’ve picked up the Fall Creators Update, you may have found that when you go to debug your code, you get an exception as soon as it tries to start: “System.InvalidOperationException: Failed to map the path ‘/App_GlobalResources/’.” After much digging around (and uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio 2017), I found the answer: go to the Control Panel, select “Programs and Features,” select “Turn Windows features on or off,” and make sure “Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core” is checked. Thank you, Microsoft, for unnecessarily breaking webapp development with a system update. Grr.
(The error described below happened when I tried switching my project from .NET Framework 3.5 to 4, thinking maybe that’d fix it. I switched it back to 3.5, as that’s what our webserver is running.)
