content: Thank you so much people! And nope not a fire... it is a long sad story and only last month light started to shine back in my life a little bit. But that story does not belong here (it has been in the local news/&papers)... its total bullocks and a sample on how our society is degrading every minute as we speak. How we need decent, nice, creative and true people in this world! When Dave says EVIL then please take it from him... it is a BAD THING! (nothing to do with my story, i ran into some bad ass criminals, speaking of evil).Anyways... it is been a while but i got a solder iron and a cheap sjit multimeter and a fairly good laptop now (and a new small room close to my parents place). I am currently looking for a job OR some crazy ass fun hackers project to put my teeth into.Well for sure i found this blog and its people... YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I FELT AT HOME READING THE POSTS AND SEEYING THE VBLOGs!Thanks to all.. but mainly to Dave... hahahahhaha... damn i like him... he is my cup of tea!

content: Thanks! You know it will take a while before i have a lab again. And i will never ever get back what i had. In my young years i came alot in several university labs and in space research centre labs. And surely i had a sjitload of 'rejected components' as u know we dont just send anything into space. Or what about all those old devices and meters... oooohhh (i am crying)Let us please forget all this. I had to get a new multimeter for my elektric bike project that i am working on. It is not going well hahahaha.... you have no idea how important your toolset is until you loose it. Cheap sjit pliers and oooooohhhh i hate working with second grade stuff (but i am also, like you guys and girls, a hacker, an engineer and i love to find a way to get it to work anyhow).Gotto go do shopping. Cheers all for the warm welcome! I go try see if i can PM Dave here to thank him in person. I hope he realizes how important his creative fun work is!(He reminds me of an old science teacher i had back in the days, i simply LOVE this man!And ey, i aint not even gay, hows that!?!?)

content: I would like to use this post to also thank Dave, because by reading the forum and watching the videos I gained back the interest lost in EE.To start a lab is not impossible but it takes a lot of time and having good equipment take sufficient budget to have proper quality tools. Im starting one and ony have .5% of what is needed.Again Thank You Dave.

content: Quote from: smashedProton on January 07, 2014, 01:05:07 amUnlikely that the same thing would happen to you, im sure of that. I love to tell you but not in writing in a forum sorry... i have a keyword for you tho ¨criminals¨... so nope.. no fire... and no they didnt steal everything. My mom keeps telling me i should write down the story (spawned over about 1 year).The problem is i feel TERRIBLE about it till this day. I am traumatized and so on... after telling 101 people in real life i get a bit fed up with reminding myself of this horrible period.The best advise i can give for you not loosing so much in your life: if you smell trouble... go away from it. If it is in your house or lab... try to record it. Write everything down. And... hide and go to a laywer. My big mistake was going to the cops... im still sick of how they dealt with the whole ordeal, that one officer who smelled a nice job over my back ruined it ALL.Its like Dave said... its never too late to build a new one. And at this moment i got quite a nice new house (just got it 6 months ago) and one room is sorta a lab (u gonna laugh when u see it, or cry... i dunno hahaha).Anyway thanks all u guys for the reply... and Dave... i still enjoying the show!
