Oh nice, I like the color of the wire. And congrats on the UE-10.
Many thanks!
Edit: forgot to put the info about the cable above: 3 feet long, 2 blue/2 green silver coated stranded copper, litz braided, black 1/8" techflex, Switchcraft connectors.

Where did you get that wire/what gauge is it. I was thinking of getting some 26-28 AWG silver plated copper from navships on eBay.

Got it from Navships. I believe the blue is 24 AWG and the green is 26 AWG. 28 AWG gets a little thin for me to work with.
Alright, thanks! I think I might end up buying some 26 AWG, it seems to be fairly versatile.
Here's a 3.5mm mini -> 2 mono 1/4th cable. It's blue Canare StarQuad covered in blue 1/8th TechFlex, with various amounts and sizes of heatshrink (sorry for the crappy picture, I need to learn how to take indoor low-light shots)

Very nice, hembergler. I like the black/beige flex.
Me too
I'm going to have to get some more 1/4th TechFlex, I like it a lot more than 1/8th, even though it doesn't give as tight a fit. It's just easier to work with.
I also have been attempting to make an iPod Dock Connector. I was worried that I would mess up one of them, so I ordered 2. Well, I completely wrecked both. I accidentally pulled out too many pins in one of the connectors, so I moved onto the second one. This one, I seemed to get right. I buttoned the thing up, and then I realized I counted the pins wrong. I thought it was like the DSUB connector where it goes
1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
But rather it goes...
1 3 5 7 9
2 4 6 8 10
I opened it up, and in a vain attempt to get the connector out, I forgot I had hot glued it in. And trying to get rid of the glue, resulted in melting through some of the plastic on the case anyway.
Onto the 2nd connector. I somehow managed to get the pins into the connector again, this time in the right order. I somehow managed to solder onto them, despite the fact that the extended parts of the pins had broken off. I hot glued everything as much as I possibly could. I picked it up after the glue dried, and soldered connections just broke, and the hot glue had apparently not hardened enough yet.
Bleh, I just needed to rant a bit, I have a new found respect for Turbo who can just crank these things out.
Edit: oh yeah... and I hate Canare mini's....
