Can late-night musings cancel out other late-night musings?

So I lied. I got my reflow soldering kit from proto-advantage.com and decided to get busy today instead of waiting for the weekend.
Okay, so soon after I last posted, I started toying around with my old AVR mkII ISP programmer to see if I could get it to work again. It worked at some point in the past, but I’ve reformatted my laptop since then.
So, earlier, I expressed an interest in changing my analog accelerometer to a digital one. I found an excellent candidate, the LIS33DE by ST devices, but it had this weird footprint.
So, I got the first of my digikey orders in today.
I was doing a little napkin-math to see what my power/space constraints would be.
So it turns out not only was the wrench not needed, but if it was, I got the wrong kind. All of the watches I’ve dealt with are opened by prying off the backing. This is how I’ve destroyed a number of screw drivers, so I thought a dedicated tool might do a better job. Turns out I was wrong. This wrench is for “jaxa” style watches which have little grooves on the backing which line up with the wrench. The back is then unscrewed.
So, I got my watch and watch case wrench today and decided to put them to use.
Today was my last first day of school, and when I was taking my bi-annual trip to Staples, I figured I’d pick up a binder to keep all of my data sheets and notes in order. I plan on actually documenting this project!
