Getting ready to head home. Somehow I convinced my wife to rebuild our home storage/media server. That's going to be interesting watching her gut the old one and build a new one.
At least your significant other will touch a computer system for things other than surfing the internet. Mine always comes to me.
Not that I mind, but come on.

I actually go to mine for a lot because she does Windows support and I don't.

Our house is a pretty good mix. I do windows support, @art_of_shred does networking and some hardware @Mike-Ralston does hardware and PBX.

But I would love if I NEVER had to work on any of my own stuff and someone else just did it for me. I do not enjoy doing IT, unlike most of you guys. I learned cause I am good at it not cause I like it .

I just tore the crotch of my pants open, right below the zipper
Wondering how I can remain seated and find a stapler inconspicuously

Sounds like "time to go home" to me!

I'm not sure why I like it so much... But I love to tinker with stuff... I don't mind working on my stuff as long as it is something I want to do IE: Switch to Linux... and not because I got hit by a hardware failure, etc.
Tomorrow, I'm going to and help one of my wife's friends with her dryer... I know enough about electronics to be dangerous thanks to my grampa and Pops, lol... I may be going to pick up a desktop computer as well... One that will be come the first XenServer at my house if it has more than 2GB of ram, lol... Or I may cannibalize it for parts... not sure what to do yet.

Went to make a DO Droplet to do some work for @Minion-Queen and DO is under maintenance right now and we aren't able to make new droplets. Argh.

@dafyre Yeah, I sat and drank a liter of my hooch while working on the board layout for the worlds most expensive USB Battery bank
Edit: from looking at it this morning I actually did pretty well
USB Battery Bank... Curious... I looked around for a 12v battery a bit today. Want something light enough to carry with my radio.
It will run on 8 AA batteries, but not the greatest. I do have a decent supply of 18650 batteries. just need to make a decent case.

@MattSpeller Yea... Drinking a bit of hooch will do that to ya... I've never knowingly consumed alcohol... so a liter of anything would have me rolling on the floor and barking like a dog... Or trying to ride the nearest floor buffer.
Hey - Riding a floor buffer is something you just do.. Drunk or not!
-
Digital Ocean maintenance is done.
-
So they sell pre-made Rum and Cokes here in the grocery store in cans... Cuba Libre. Going to get some soon.

My design will support 5v 5a (2x USB at full 2a draw each with spare) and a 12v output @ 5a
All this is from 4 quad parallel packs of 18650's (4x 3.7v packs of 4 batteries)
It's going to be gloriously overbuilt and well protected & filtered. The chinese "built to the lowest dollar one hung low fire hazards" are not to my taste.
-
@gjacobse I bought one of these one hung low things and I was horrified at the construction, let alone the insane voltage spikes and drop outs. It's 12v output is filthier than a lady of the night on east hastings in Vancouver

Working on an Elastix 4 install onto CentOS 7 on Digital Ocean. Fingers crossed that this actually works.
-
If this ends up working, this will finally make our CentOS count on DO higher than our Ubuntu count.
-
Why does no IaaS cloud platform offer OpenSuse? Argh. Pisses me off.

We should talk... I'd be happy to help test. and I have plenty of usable 18650s

@gjacobse what kind of amperage / run time are you after?
I hope to have a prototype built this fall
