Greetings!!

Hello, 'tis a pleasure to stumble across such a treasure trove of info.

I have been following various threads and building a "novices knowledge base"
for quite some time now.

Hence I believe the time has come to finally introduce my self and get involved.

In a way I feel I should curse you all. My wallet isn’t going to appreciate my new hobby. But alas, I can't resist! :evil:

Don’t want to rabbit on (I could... really ) so I’ll try and rap up. Science has always facinated me - cant quite put my finger on it. Have a strong desire to get into my own builds. Lucky for me work covers a rather wide spectrum of skills (ironically work is about to take me away for a while... time to make some serious doe, but probably makes this introduction a little premature).

Have owned a greenie for a few weeks now (UltraFire 500mW 532nm Back-Open Handheld Green Laser Pointer WF-502C - Price angels). 1w o-like blue is inbound.

Eye-protection = Protection Goggle/Glasses for multiple wavelength Laser
Range: 200-540 and 800-2000nm from laser2go.com

Sincere thanks for the advice already "taken"
hopefully at some point I can give back.

Taketh Careth

Ahhh, don't you just love it when a newbie comes along and lurks long enough
not to post an endless series of questions that can be answered by UTFSE?

+1 internetz for you, sir.:beer:

Holy Hell Twhite828! Good work with the highlights!

That made me smile.

As for the internet, its on and off (unless your reading my post). Creates some interesting latency effects....

I'll keep reading your posts so you continue to have internet.

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for reading up before posting!

Thanks to all, will look forward to conversing throughout the world of LPF. Nice to know people here will keep me in existence!

As I mentioned, need to go away for a while soon. Will jump straight in on my return with fundage for buildage!

Taketh Careth!

Haha... was going to make the same dead\alive gag everyone else already has.

Instead i'll reference your sig.
Are you going to power your lasers using ants carrying energetic particles?

 

[SchrodingersCat]

Lol! Thanks for the strange image of DX trying to ship that one through customs! :takeit:

A laser you have to feed a? A wonderful idea, but one resigned to a quantum world of infinite Pratchetty weirdness. I can see the threads now, "My Laser wont eat" or "My ants left me for another laser" etc ,etc...

Dang. And they say first impressions count. :tinfoil:

The time has come for me to go offline for a while (I'm in the armed forces, so can't say how long other than a number of months).

Before I vanish would anyone object to me bringing this thread back to life on my return? Just to save on confusion / repeat intros!

Until next time, Taketh Careth!
