Paul:
Posting pictures of bending diode leads AFTER MIDNIGHT your time?????? What's up with that?
I certainly cannot speak for everyone, but dang dude. I don't even know Sabrina, but if you get her mad at you by staying up late working on this controller, I will personally drive to Seattle and KICK YOUR BUTT!
You need to stay on her good side. That little boy of yours deserves a fun, happy, alert Daddy, not a grumpy, tired, zoned-out Daddy.
If the controller takes an extra week or few because you go to bed at a reasonable time, I'm very much okay with that. Please don't short change your family.
Of course, it's your life and you can do what you want. What do I know?
Okay... I vented. I feel better now.
Yours Truly,
Mr. "Internet Tough Guy"
