Ahoy mateys! Erm, perhaps an "Ahoy darlins!" would be more appropriate, due to the rapid advance of Valentine's Day. Yup, the 14th of February is only two-and-a-half weeks away. That means it's time to hunker down and get a certain something for that certain someone. And what better way to tell The Significant Other that […]
Bug Stomping - Part 2, Solarcells sold o...

October 19, 2000
We're still undergoing website bug-stomping. You may have noticed some changed news items and the like. One of the edits crashed the page, so we had to reload an older backup.
The SCPD photodiodes are now officially sold out! KaPUT! Gone! Until we can find a reasonably priced replacement, we won't be restocking these items in the near future. If you want to hunt them down yourself, they're a Seimens (now "Infineon") BPW-43 Photodiode.
We are temperorarily out of the SC2433 solarcell until November 8th. We expected them earlier, but it takes a while for a boat to float all the way from Japan to out here near the Rocky Mountains!
Solarbotics also just recently had our own website security certificate installed. No more sharing our ISP's - we now have a very secure interface page on our orderform. Not that the previous one wasn't secure, but it was a bit confusing to be routed to "fp2.cadvision.com/skip" whenever a call was made to the secure orderform.

Grant McKee has been experimenting with some simple additions to the chip to make it (unto itself) a suitable brain for a simple mini-sumo […]

I'm back from vacation! And to celebrate that exciting occasion, we are going to celebrate! With celebratory… celebrations… festivities! And with redundant repetition of words which signifies lack of vocabulary and general brain melting. Looks like it while take a while to completely return, because apparently my brain is still vacationing. I think some science […]
