Alienware is now promoting what is probably the ultimate gaming display (or any other kind of display for that matter). This 48 inch diagonal Alienware monitor boasts a humongous 2880 horizontal pixel resolution and a refresh rate of 2 milliseconds.
I built up this unit to prevent damage to my Monitor Top(s) should there be a fault which causes the compressor to run continuously.
In fact, most refrigeration faults will cause this.
The current transformer senses when the compressor runs. When it does so, the Omron timer module starts. If the compressor should be running when it counts up to 25 mins, power is shut off to the fridge. It has to be manually reset.
Each time the compressor stops the timer resets, so normally the timer has no effect on fridge operation. Normal run time is much less than 25 mins. (About 2-3 mins once stabilised).
It's a very rough prototype just to prove the concept and eventually it will rebuilt somewhat more professionally. The improved version will also sense the current draw and trip if it's too high, thus providing a backup to the solder pot overload in the control.

July 2009. This appears to be the Sulawesi endemic of the Varanus salvator Complex of Water Monitor. It is called the Togian Monitor. Water Monitors are carnivores, and have a wide range of foods. They are known to eat fish, frogs, rodents, birds, crabs, and snakes. They have also been known to eat turtles, as well as young crocodiles and crocodile eggs. Like the Komodo Dragon, they will often eat carrion. As it's not their bite that will kill, rather the bacteria within the ridges of the mouth that will cause a nasty infection and cause their prey to die, they much prefer to feed on a corpse. That way they can feed without a struggle.
My fat arse seems to have broken the weight and fat/blood pressure monitor at work. On the bright side, I've got it playing Beethoven!

Walking round the pets section of one of our local garden centres, yesterday, I spotted this little guy, just begging to have his photo taken!
The Lace Monitor, or Lace Goanna, Varanus varius, is a member of the monitor lizard family, Australian members of which are commonly known as goannas. It belongs to the subgenus Varanus.
Lace monitors are the second-largest monitor in Australia after the Perentie. They can be as long as 2.1 metres (over 6 ft 10ins) with a head and body length of up to 76.5 cm (2½ ft). The tail is long and slender and about 1.5 times the length of the head and body. Maximum weight of lace monitor can be 20 kg.(44 lb), but most adults are much smaller.
These common terrestrial and often arboreal monitors are found in eastern Australia and range from Cape Bedford on Cape York Peninsula to south-eastern South Australia. They frequent both open and closed forests and forage over long distances (up to 3 km a day).
They are mainly active from September to May, but are inactive in cooler weather and shelter in a tree hollow or under a fallen tree or large rock.
The females lay from 4 to 14 eggs in spring or summer in termite nests. They frequently attack the large composting nests of Scrub Turkeys to steal their eggs, and often show injuries on their tails inflicted by male scrub turkeys pecking at them to drive them away.
Their diet typically consists of insects, reptiles, small mammals, birds and birds' eggs. They are also carrion eaters, feeding on already dead carcasses of other wildlife. Lace monitors will also forage in areas inhabited by people, raiding chicken coops for poultry and eggs, rummaging through unprotected domestic garbage bags, and trash cans in picnic and recreational areas.
Like all Australian goannas, they were a favourite traditional food of Australian Aboriginal peoples and their fat was particularly valued as a medicine and for use in ceremonies
Lace monitors are found in two broad forms. The main form is dark grey to dull blueish black with numerous scattered cream spots. The snout is marked with prominent black and yellow bands extending under the chin and neck. The tail has narrow black and cream bands which are narrow and get wider towards the end of the tail.
The other type, known as 'Bells Form', is typically found in dryer parts of NSW and Queensland. It has broad black and yellow bands across the body and tail. Close up these bands are made up of various spotted patterns.

My rooftop anemometer and receding storm clouds at sunset. Widespread monsoon thunderstorms have been rumbling all across Arizona for the last several days, dumping significant rainfall and causing serious flash floods in some places. Unfortunately and all too typically, the rain continues to completely avoid my dusty rain gauge, where only a few sprinkles have fallen so far. Nonetheless, the monsoon skies do make for some great sunset photo ops - Weather Station ZD1, Phoenix, Arizona

An unusual delicacy from the highlands around Bandung is monitor lizard satay - served in a deliciously rich, spicy sauce.
I had to try it while on assignment in Bandung recently.
