NetWorthIQ
I don’t really get the point, but it’s a site to calculate your net worth. All it does is ask for numbers and add them together, though. It seems the main purpose is for rich people to see how much richer they are than other people who have accounts on

I just got a package delivered, and it was my Commell LV-673, a day early! Not too much time to comment on it now, and I won’t get to test it out until the rest of the components arrive from NewEgg on Friday, but here’s a few quick pics of the spread.

I further disassembled the LM170E01 panel last night, and got more data on the inverter. I was initially a bit surprised to see that it has a 10-pin input, with 4 yellow, 4 black, 1 blue, 1 brown wires. The yellow and black are obviously the hot & ground pairs that go to […]

I took apart the LM170E01 a bit more last night, here’s some shots of the guts. I’ll take of the metal backing soon, so I can really get at the inverter to check the serial number and pinouts.

Two freaking amazing links today, epressing a mix of natural and synthetic. Really makes me wish I didn’t have to go home to a big black metal box (despite my cool retro dials on the front).
