    Schematics and Circuit Board layout with Fusion 360

    It would be a shame for this to fall through the cracks after @slow-poke putting in that effort. So @David you now have a touch DRO from @PaulL, yes? I saw these cheap ($30 each or "generous discount for box of 6" ) no-name Android tablets on market place (in Oak Bay) a couple of days ago, and...

    Tool Replacing a spring punch tip

    The hypocrisy and unfairness in schooling

    I'm restraining myself from getting sucked in and spending the rest of the day including my own autobiography among the fascinating others here. But I will mention I'm one of those people who rewired one as a printer and wrote a driver in Z80 assembler (CPM). 1980ish, IIRC. (I almost did put...
