ok I 'll crawl back under my rock now, if anyone needs me, u know where to find me!


A little trick I learned the hard way years ago.
Whenever I build a new system when I'm done but before firing up I get up, walk away,grab a coke,coffee,etc take a few mins away from the system and then come back and physically touch and check every connection.
Visually inspect everything.. Takes maybe an additional 3 minutes but you'd be surprised at how often you find something thats loose and generally loose from after you'd connected it but loosened it with a hand that was working on another connector.
Just makes for a good final check and has saved my butt many times.
