Some years ago I was working on a 1.9GHz mobile phone, and finally figured out a problem ( ie my mistake) . Bodged up a test solution with a stonehenge type mid-air construction of 0402's. Under the microscope it looked b*y awful. But it worked.
Gave the lab technician another 6 to do - and she did - with the unaided eye! And under the microscope they were works of art. And of course they worked perfectly
Don't know if this qualifies for the wall of shame, but I installed Win 10 on a rebuilt computer and was clearing out some unnecessary files when I came across this:
WPNPRMRY.tmp size: -1 byte.
Does deleting it take up more space on the hard drive than keeping it?
If I copy it enough times will I get an extra terabyte of space on the 500Gb HDD? :o

What reported that size? Explorer?[/quote]
Wisecare 365. It's usually pretty accurate and clears a load of crud from the hard drive.
I was in panic for a moment, but then i found the source of the picture.
The end of this thread isn't close yet so all of us can keep on breathing.
I see some icky spots on the lower right breadboard, which may have something to do with abuse and/or mistakes made.
So i guess Paul got there through some learning process too.
But that is indeed what these breadboards are supposed to look like, certainly if you want to publish pictures of it.
So good job, Paul.
This makes we wish I had taken a picture of the circuit I lashed up last weekend. I fit a potentiometer, two buttons, and an H-Bridge circuit onto a 170-point breadboard stuck to a protoshield and connected with the cheap jumper wires. It looked like velcro.
