Gonna be a lot less active over the next 2 months.

[Evo_Spec]

Hey guys, not sure why i feel the need to let you guys know but i do.

So i picked up a job that's in another city 3 hours away from where i currently live, It's a teaching job for 2 months only since there will be an actual educated teacher coming in June to replace me. Well in reality i'm more just covering for her till she gets her visa rather than her replacing me.

Anyways the reason i'm going to be less active is because i won't be bringing my PC since i'm likely to be coming back every week/2nd week to see the wife/kid i don't feel like bringing the PC if i'm coming back so often.
I'm doing this for several reasons but mainly i'm hoping the boredom will cause me to go outside or even magically give me motivation to workout.

Anyways i'll have my phone w/data so i'll always be able to respond to PM's and direct quotes but i'll definitely be a lot less active since i can't navigate Tapatalk as well as i'd like.
I'll probably be around lurking but not really posting since typing on touchscreen is balls.

Love ya guys, don't miss me too much =)

P.S. i may be able to provide proxi service from Japan after my return but no promises. =P

Thanks for the update, Evo_Spec! Glad that you found another job, who knows, maybe it could lead to more good things.

Hope you get to have fun with your awesome Subaru 

[SpAmRaY]

I swear when I read the topic it said attractive not active....I was so confused.

Good luck with the temporary job though!

[heedpantsnow]

Good luck brother!  Be safe with all that traveling. We will miss you

typing on touchscreen in a lot less balls with touchpal.

I'm really looking forward to the drive there on the highway =P

It looks weird but i'll have time to try and adapt to it over the next 2 months so i'll give it a try =)

Good luck brother!  Be safe with all that traveling. We will miss you

Thanks! i definitely won't be gone as i'm probably literally addicted to this place....

Hahahaha, i'm pretty sure that i was a lot less attractive a while ago XD

Thank you.

[pichu23]

[Fire Brand]

Good luck Evo your a sweet person so hope you do well and hope to hear from you again soon

[HendyZone]

Good Luck Bro
All the best

[Evo_Spec]

oh good luck! Are you gonna assemble your GON before you leave tho ?

Hahaha, i'm actually bring the parts to build when i get there since i'm sure i'll have a lot of free time, and of course i'm bringing my camera to document the process XD
When those pictures will get uploaded, i'm not sure.

[rowdy]

I hope the temp job goes well

Sometimes a short break from GH can refresh you.  Then there's the joy of finding the new crises that happened while you were away.

Thanks! Yeah I'm enjoying this place since it's definitely more city than where I was. Might be sad to leave lol.

Come on !

I cannot finish my GON before yours haha

You'll be back soon I hope !

Good luck to you 

I'm working on it as we speak, I predict it'll be done mid week this week. Maybe today if it starts raining lol.

[GenKaan]

Damn, being away from the wifu for 2 weeks at the time? Thats rough :/
Good luckan

It's not the first time so I'll be fine but that was also in Canada where there weren't so many damn hot Asian girls everywhere XD
I'm actually more missing my kid since she's older and talking and stuff so she's funner than her baby state lol

clearly you weren't in vancouver

[Evo_Spec]

Welp! Since I'm impatient I ended up finishing the board without testing it or anything which I'm sure I'll regret later but for now it's done!

I need to go back home and get some caps and test this thing, I'm sure some of the smd led's will need to be replaced.

Here's only ONE potato pic for you guys.


Mod Edit: Fixed the image link.

[Lpwl]

This is looking pretty good !

I'm still waiting for some parts (switches / LEDs / Lube + springs etc...) so right now all I need is moaaaar patience.

Your picture is not helping me haha

I didn't know that you were waiting on parts, sorry to hear that.
If it makes you feel any better, I couldn't get my lube through customs so I just dropped it all together and still went through the tedious task of opening them and doing sip sockets and stickers since I had them anyways.
I also went full half ass and clipped the stabs but didn't lube them since I have no money to buy some kind of lube atm, on the upside the stabs are removable even with the plate so if I really want to I could take them out and lube them.

She's alive!!!


I'm pretty proud of myself, all my smd led's worked first try and I only had one switch and one led that didn't work which were easily fixed =)

Mod Edit: Fixed image link.

[Lpwl]

Wow I like it 

Every time I'm watching some SMD soldering videos (like this one made by GON), I'm muttering under my breath : "Impossibruh... I can't do dis on my own !"

So yeah again, félicitations !

If you managed to take some pics during the process, don't forget to update your build log when you'll have some time

Congrats on finishing! :thumb:

For stab lube, you can try some PTFE Tamiya grease.  I imagine that would be easier to find over there.

That's a great suggestion thank you!!!
I'm sure that'd be super easy to find since Tamiya is huge here.

It was actually really easy but maybe I'm just decent at soldering?
It really helps to have a head mounted loupe too =)

[heedpantsnow]

Wow dude your board looks amazing!

[Evo_Spec]

Wow dude your board looks amazing!

Thanks heed, I'm really looking forward to getting some caps on it to see if that helps light up the top layer.

[pichu23]

Evo ! That's a great looking board !
Will prolly look even more amazing with caps on !

Yeah I'm really looking forward to seeing some caps on it.
I'm not sure if I should go with CnC or green/grey. I guess I'll see.

CCn(Green) sounds awesome if you could get some.
I remembered when I got my CCnG, it was really nice but too bad the ducky didn't really fit it well

Can you explain what CCnG mean? Lol I was under the impression that it was cookies and cream but it made no sense to me anyways lol.

Anyways I already have a set of CCnG and blue grey ducky PBT's lol

Wow I replied to this late lol.
Anyways thanks for the explanation, for some reason I thought it was cookies and cream even though I imagine that as cream and brown lol.

Can't wait to get some caps on my board.

This lack of a computer and keyboard is killing me.....

My work colleagues keep getting me to type out English stuff for them since it's a hassle for then and because I type the fastest but the laptop keyboard sucks and the Japanese layout has quotations and apostrophes in a different spot so that's annoying....

And not just any keyboard, I'm gonna need a custom GON.....

[Evo_Spec]

Feels good to be back on my computer, god i missed this thing.

Should be a few photo dumps from me soon but first i need to spend some time with the family.

This GON in awesome.....

*edit* I guess i should mention that i'm only back for a couple days on holiday. still got another month before i'm really home.

[Evo_Spec]

So the teacher that was supposed to come has some sort of delay for another half a month and they can't go without a dedicated native English teacher so they want me back for another month which i agreed with.

So i'm gonna be a lot less active for another month!

Same as last time, if you need me just PM or directly quote me so it sends a notification on Tapatalk to me and i'll be able to respond.

Have fun

Hi Evo,

Long time no see ~
I was just thinking about your thread as I'm leaving to Japan for 10 days with my family for my summer holidays.
My current plan is to travel from Osaka > Kyoto > Tokyo.
Was wondering if there's any place you know that I can sample my fingers on some Topre switches heh.
Still favouring MX. Hopefully I could spend my free time wondering around Tokyo.

Cheers!
