Content now all fixed (again)!!
The Gerb's Tech Blog on Wordpress..
the ongoing adventures of Linux and the Thinkpads will move to a page of its own, some day..!
and now for the recent news...
Updated kanga, tested the LPro again, still working after dropping it! am running out of room - must put more stuff up on eBay..
Finally tested my LPro Rubidium Standard Oscillator that arrived last week (a eBay find..). It works in the check out mode, unlock light goes out, frequency is 10.000 Mhz into 50 ohms on the Fluke 1912A, waveform looks ok on the Tek 2465. It gets hot and will require a heatsink when it goes into a case...
Oops! markup issues! gotta watch those A HREF's...Fixed a recent purchase - Fluke 8050A DMM - U7 and U8 (LM358) had given up, causing display overrange on all settings about 2 seconds after startup...
one of the BBBduino's is done - see the Tech Blog...
Wallace has been resurrected as a SMB server for me so that I don't have to keep copying stuff from Eeyore to the thinkpads. Small (an X40 that has had a hard life) is waiting on a rebuild when the recovery disks arrive. It is a cheap alternative to netbooks and older eyes can read the screen!
Still haven't finished the BBBduino's yet, and the Rabbit RCM3720 has arrived and I must do something about the PIC 16F877A's. The shed needs some attention; the empty drawers have to be installed and filled up.
updated kanga. must assemble BBBduinos!!!
It is 46 degrees C outside; a change (of sorts) is coming. I hope the car will start. The AVRs and the PICs are still waiting!
Blog location update... it's on WordPress.com
Slowly getting rid of parasites infesting our servers - Ubuntu ufw is your friend! This is being edited with Araneae 5.0.0 now even better!!
Have fixed the validation again! Really should do it more often..importing links and not checking the code. We have a blog (of sorts)!
It was 40 degrees C yesterday; it is now 37 outside, but the change is coming. The A31 fix didn't really take: it may have other video issues. Finished all 3 (currently) Time's Tapestry books by Stephen Baxter. Another one is coming!
Back to the saltmines on Tuesday next, who knows for how long. My amazon book order for "Designing Embedded Hardware" got lost in the global logistic jungle somewhere;they are replacing them, but I would have liked to have had the read over the holidays..The AVRs and the PICs are waiting!
