bigzaphod, Was doing a little soldering today. Messed up, of course. Wanted some solder wick to try to fix it. Didn't have any.
It's times like this that I really hate that my town no longer has a single proper hobby/electronics store that I'm aware of. There's nowhere to go to grab stuff like this when you suddenly need it on a Saturday afternoon. There's nowhere to buy extra resistors, or LEDs, or microcontrollers, stepper motors, breadboards, etc.
I have to order everything.
