So how much SIS should I be feeding them?
😀 I believe its boric acid and anti-freeze. Certainly smells funny when they go bang, spread fibres all over your lab and fire their casing at your head. You only over-volt one by mistake once, I can tell you!
[i]I'm on an environmental panel at work, and I was charged with finding out if we had to leave PCs on overnight [/i]
Assuming you have an IT dept? Talk to them , instead of making arbitrary decision without consulting them, as per our enviromental team (some equipment needs to be left on... though not monitors)

Yeah, and have you tasted SIS? 😆
😀 true. Maybe it's the very same stuff!

I once built up a strobe unit for my cousin and powered it up to test it. All seemed fine, but then I heard a strange 'creaking' sound. I was just wondering what it might be when there was a bang and the room filled with white smoke 🙂 Turned out it was putting twice the rated voltage on the caps!
IT depts seem to think their computers run on magic pixie dust
so otherwise you'd just be in and instantly working ??
What else would I be doing in work? (noting that I can't browse STW when my computer's not on 😉 )
My old place (Companies House) had light sensitive dimming lights fitted throughout with motion sensors.
Given it's bright and sunny out and the lights are on I presume they're not light sensitive (though given the size of the office and that the main windows are North facing, it probably would get rather dark in here otherwise). Definitely motion sensing - you have to make sure to move a bit if you're in late (normally there are a few of us in, at which point only the lights where we're sitting stay on).

Though you might do it on purpose more often 😉
