I am Battling Ladybugs This Year

Quote of the Day

Exhilaration is that feeling you get just after a great idea hits you, and just before you realize what's wrong with it.

We have had a warm winter in Minnesota so far this year. As with every transition from fall to winter, bugs seek warmth by taking up residence in our fiber-optic enclosures. Here is my latest example, a ladybug on a returned circuit board.

    On the plus side, probably no aphids in there!

      Given the choice between the two, I will take ladybugs every time. Overall, frogs cause the most trouble.

    Was the ladybug fried?

      Alas, the ladybug was fried. I actually have had quite a few PCBs come in with insects on them, but almost no frogs. I usually have more frogs than insects.
