In this video I unbox and install my new Horusdy 39-drawer component drawers.

Unfortunately I missed a little bit of footage near the end of the installation because my camera locked up.

Announcing new website for In The Lab With Jay Jay

Good news everyone!

The In The Lab With Jay Jay website has been freeloading off jj5.net for a while now, over here: https://www.inthelabwithjayjay.com/in-the-lab/

But I am pleased to announce that it has now been moved into its new and permanent home, over here: InTheLabWithJayJay.com

There is also a short-link domain which will redirect you to the new site which I put into production to keep the links on my business cards short: jjlab.net

Speaking of business cards I had some made to take with me to ElectroneX on Wednesday:

John's new business card for In The Lab With Jay Jay

I’m planning to show up in costume and hand out business cards, because I am a *genuine* nerd.

As part of the migration to the new domain I improved the content of the site a bit. There is now an about page with contact info and such and also a support the show page with some ideas about how people can support the show!

Props to Corsair

Just wanted to say thank you publicly to Corsair. The case for my computer ‘charisma‘ is a Corsair Carbide 100R Silent Edition Mid-Tower ATX Case. I really love this case and in fact I have two of them.

Anyway I had a problem where one of the feet snapped off and I couldn’t find spares for sale anywhere on the internet. I applied for a replacement of the feet through the Corsair warranty process, which was comprehensive but relatively painless, and I am pleased to report that my new replacement feet arrived today.

I am a happy customer!

Triple 4k monitors

Well, shit kinda got out of hand, and now I have three 4k monitors on my desk.

I didn’t intend for this to happen. What happened was I thought that one of the monitors that I use for my computers on the bench and in the booth was broken. So I hastily ordered a replacement. Then it turned out that that monitor wasn’t broken — the power cord had fallen out — but by the time I had discovered that eBay was telling me it was too late to cancel my order.

So for a lousy AU$250 I now have a third monitor attached to my primary workstation. Since I have pretty much no need or use for a third monitor what I have done is create a desktop background image for it with a bunch of reference material.

Extra Content #7: The SCSI Bus and IDE Interface: Protocols, Applications and Programming

This post is part of my video blog: In The Lab With Jay Jay.

In this video I pull the floppy disk out of the cover of my copy of The SCSI Bus and IDE Interface: Protocols, Applications and Programming (2nd Edition).

I have this wonderful old book The SCSI Bus and IDE Interface: Protocols, Applications and Programming (2nd Edition). It was published in 1997 but is still available for purchase through Amazon.

The book comes with a floppy disk (that’s right: a floppy disk!). I had to buy a USB floppy disk drive to read it. I have made the content from the disk available in a tarball, here: scsi.tgz.

If you just want to read the files, those are here:
