SynthModules

Ok, it's been an interesting day here at SynthModules Center (Brice: you
meant hell right? Me: yeah, probably).  We found a tray with 6 boards that
were not soldered where we thought we had them all done, and some boards
that had been mated to faceplates without grounds soldered on them.  We
spent a good deal of time getting the boards finished, all the faceplates
ready to mate to the boards, and the finished boards from last week
tested.  The general status of the components follows:
boards: all are now soldered (really we even mean it this time, but don't
hold us to it)
face plates: all the grounds are now soldered and they are ready to be
mated to the boards
led panels: these were finished last week, nothing new to report here

**** The Gary Chang Update ****
Gary,
Someone, and I'm not mentioning names misplaced one of the standoffs to
your board.  He spent every lunch break last week hunting down the correct
standoffs at the various Radio Cracks, and Fried Electronics.  This
weekend he mated your board to the face plate, and constructed the custom
LED ribbon cable which is significantly different for your board than for
the others.  (thought you were special didn't you?)

****

So, here's what remains (or the part you're all interested in).  With all
the components completed all that is left is to mate the face plates to
the boards and wire them up, test them, box them and ship them.  We tested
4 modules, 3 of which passed, and one of which developed a bad 1/8" jack
during testing.  Brice plans to get the faulty jack replaced during the
week and these modules should ship to the next people expected to receive
them.  I will note for clarity that these are the modules I mentioned last
week as completed, however the testing takes about 40 minutes per
completed module and Brice simply did not have time during the week.  The
next four people receiving boards should be hearing from Brice sometime
this week that their board has in fact shipped.  Anyway that's all from
SynthModules Hell this week, next week is the Indianapolis 500 (and the
city will come to a halt), so stay tuned for two weeks from now, when, in
an exciting turn of events I will manage to get myself electrocuted.
