I'm afraid to ask

[greybeta]

The sixty people that I have friended so far help me realize things that I would be otherwise ignorant of. It's easy to think you're right until you're challenged to think for yourself. Per usual, I seek people who can help me in my quest to become a better writer in both content and style. I really like how I get all sorts of opinions on things that I wouldn't normally get, and I hope that I do the same for others.

Typically, I don't like to ask questions but I'm a rather inquisitive guy. I saw this on correspondguy, who got it from the talented yuki_onna. I'm afraid to ask, but I ask you to ask...

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

I can tell you what they did to teach me. They had a lot of old PCB's (Printed Circuit Boards) and random resistors around our EE lab. Before they would allow us to solder a circuit, we had to practice soldiering resistors to old circuit boards. It took awhile, but I finally got the hang of putting forming a cone shaped sodder. The trick is to rest your hand against the table (otherwise your hand will be shaking holding the soddering iron), and look for a little smoke and pull away at the right time.

aha...so it's (a) look for the smoke and (b) practice. This is good. Thank you!
