Thursday ... is that your time or my time?
As far as I can see the site didn't go down anyway, however ...
I hooked up a transistor, a resistor, and a travelling salesman. No, wait.
I tried to understand how transistors worked, but after fiddling around for a while, went "whoa" -- as usual.
Then I went, like, "huh?", and started twiddling knobs. The voltage does what? when I do what? Huh?
I'll have another try another day.
