Slater O’Brien’s Photo coverage of the first of many monthly Mid-Lincs mini modded meets!!
So, to start, what is ‘Mid-lincs mini meets’…mid-lincs mini meets is a lttle car club arranged by my friend for modified car enthusiasts in the South-lincs area to get together once a month, have a catch up, show off there cars & talk man talk!! With only a very small turnout at the first meet but we got what we expected attendance wise, with a modest 10 cars at most all of different styles from a rover 75 to a 2012 Scirrocco R!! With British weather at its best it changed as many times as you’d change your socks….gorgeous sun, to snow, to rain, thunder & hail the weather really doesn’t like us car folk does it To ease into we will be holding these meets once a month until summer when (numbers permitting) we’ll be having one every week!
On to the photos, i am pleased to say this will be my first photo post on LP & am very pleased with the overall images! Helped with a nice amount of metal to make the photos what they are! I also covered a little mini shoot whilst there with the pug 106 & the mx5!!
Anyways heres the images, hope you ejoy looking at them as much as i did taking them Looking forward to the next meet in mid May so watch this space
Tabluter
where a pc is placed in wooden table, I used single motherboard to run four users for some reasons
Then it was time to get rid of the extra PSU (which i never needed anyway after i figuered out a combination of drives that nicly worked together on one connector-string of only one PSU), attached the pump (my old eheim, back from the times when they were still used for aquariums) and CPU cooler (also an antique monster from the first days of Sockel A) and started filling.
The whole thing sounded like a room fountain and i got a little worried. but after 2 hours everything still seemed to be ok. That radiator is thirsty as hell, i already refilled the "coolant expansion reservoir" (google translation :D) 2.5 times since yesterday evening. Now everything is up and running, with the CPU at about 40°C (its an old Athlon 1700+) and none of the HDDs hot enough to burn my fingers. Nice.
Now i just have to figuere out a way to clean up the cables and hoses withour ruining the mood.

So i started by killing an old Desktop-AT-Case with a dremel and screwing it to the steel concrete wall in a way that the screws would all be covered by the motherboard. then i hang the PSU at bottom of this. the first one had a nice mounting extension to the top (like used in old cases) which was nice for screwing it to the wall, but later i exchanged it for a less noisy one (120 cm Fan) which now basicly just hangs there on wires that are screwed to the wall. The building is East-German Cold War Era Steel-Conrecte Architecture, Drilling or resetting screwholes is a real pain...i try to avoid it whenever possible. my roommate once hit a stone it the wall which let to a 5 cm exit-wound kind of crater on my side of the wall. next to it the Lucent Cellpipe (horrible modem but my ISP leaves me no choice) found its place. The Mainboard was an old Gigabyte with a buggy Onboard IDE 3 & 4 from one of my roommates. but it kind-of-survived 3 years in the end.

The old lamp rig. This box was part of an attempt to achieve light isolation within the projector housing itself. It never did work the way I wanted it to.
Thighs are done. I left the nubbin on the one that I Dremelled because it's not actually doing anything. This should allow her to sit suwarikko.
Here we see the common or garden solar powered lamp, to be found in the out-of-town superstores of the British Isles. Charging during its dormant period during the day, and giving off a white light come nightfall, it's fast becoming a fixture in the gardens of Blighty. But the row of white lights can get a bit boring, so...(proceed to next pic)
Thanks to Rob Griffiths's tutorial from Macworld, I modded my Safari 4 beta tab with an orange color to show it's active. If anyone is interested, they can download the files that I have already modded and replace the files in their safari/contents/resources directory.
Enjoy
The Lagoon nebula (M8) on Sept 14, 2017. This beautiful cosmic cloud of red hydrogen H-Alpha emissions is created by the central hot stars in the center of the open star cluster NGC 6530. The nebula is ~5000 light years away in the Sagittarius constellation. The lagoon nebula is an active star nursery where new star formation is taking place.
Imaged with an HA modded Nikon D5300 and SW Pro80ED scope with 0.8 focal reducer/field flattener & Orion Skyglow imaging filter. Focal length 480mm, f6, ISO 200 & 99min of total integration time.
