Hi Paul ! ( Hi to PJ too when he gets around to this message. )
The reason I dropped off the map years ago because I started a family and at the same time I was working decades of back to back large programs at work. This is all changing very soon. MilliVolt is leaving for college (computer science) and I'm going to retire from paid engineering work. What am I going to do? Besides travel and honey-do's, my plans are to update my website and bring it back to life, and then build tube and solid state amps just for the heck of it (Un-paid Engineering work AKA Hobby Work.)
In support of bringing my website back to life, for a high school project MilliVolt wrote a Java Script page to calculate optimum bias points for paralleled triodes. And yes, that page will be in the new version of my webpages. I still need to pick a site name. Unfortunately, calling my website OUCH.COM will attract the wrong group of people.
Going forward with tube designs, I've got a crazy idea on how to make choke input supplies regulate down to no-load as one of the things that is on the list of things to build. Also, I have a newer CCS topology I'd like to discuss with you and PJ after things settle down a bit in September.
Note: I think it is funny that the forum's Spell Checker doesn't recognize "Triodes." ;-}
