Thanks for the reminder. My condolences for your loss.

I will be at PCB Carolina at NCSU McKimmon Center, all day, this 
Wednesday and will connect with Shane (and hopefully Paul and Carl). The 
web site registration is an upper-right link here 
<http://www.pcbcarolina.com/>. I'm going to bring a pocket full of 
examples of soldering with the Nordson EFD solder paste given to me by a 
very generous John Conti in conjunction with last year's event. I'll be 
looking for folks who will mercifully discuss surface mount reflow and 
rework soldering where semi-pro and hobby tools (and skills) are all 
that are available.

By happy timing a combination of stopping up air leaks, using 
thermocouples to see what PCB temps were actually doing, and 
compensating for the cheapo T962's time-delusions is giving me pretty 
decent agreement with recommended reflow profiles now, and the most 
recent soldering episode with Chip McClelland's trail activity logger 
board gave results that were as good as the previous results were bad. 
That is to say, everything soldered perfectly and the thing "just 
worked." We're extremely pleased. Creating more convective heating 
inside the oven is next refinement on the list.

But I want to learn a ton on Wednesday and we could certainly feed our 
observations orward into the next meeting.

For this Monday's, November 10th TriEmbed meeting 
<http://triembed.org/blog/?page_id=292>, I think a handful of short 
"lightning talks" is the right way to go.

PS As usual the email subscription link and main web URL are at the 
bottom of all of these list msgs. You can just go to the list email page 
and click on "TriEmbed Archives 
<http://mail.triembed.org/pipermail/triembed_triembed.org/>" to read 
past email without needing to subscribe.

Best Regards,
Pete
