Hey Craig. I’ve made some changes (hopefully improvements!) to the website:
Only the home page is working at the moment. I will get the other pages working soon, hopefully today.
Please do let me know (in no uncertain terms!) what you think of the new design. I’ve gone “mobile first”, so it should look respectable on your smart phone.
There’s been a little bit of spring cleaning around here today!
I’m trying to get my house in order so I can pass myself off as respectable when I start promoting my new show In The Lab With Jay Jay in earnest.
To that end I have reviewed the look and feel of my wiki. It no longer has that black, green, and orange monospaced font vibe going on, but now uses the relatively unoffensive default theme.
It’s not using the latest Vector theme, but rather the legacy one. This was deliberate because I have a lot of big tables in my wiki (such as on my computers and shopping pages) and the legacy theme plays nicer with those.
I’ve also been tweaking the website for my show, including an updated about page.
The blog, the wiki, and the show also now all use my new favicon which is my take on the Hacker Emblem:

I’m slowly learning how to use my video production tools.
Yesterday I discovered the 2 pass audio normalization feature in kdenlive.
You seem to need to apply this effect to each clip separately.
This 2 pass effect is much easier to configure than the other normalization option, which requires more configuration settings.
With the 2 pass audio normalization you just nominate your desired volume, click Analyze, and you’re done. You need to do that for each clip.
Now that I know how to do this the audio on my videos shouldn’t be as terrible as it has been. Getting better. Slowly.
Here’s me making a USB cable: Making a USB breakout cable for intercepting USB signal data. This is 2nd channel content, watch at your peril. <3

This video is part of the Old Book feature of my video blog.
In this video we take a quick look at Vest Pocket Guide To Electrical Testing And Troubleshooting by John E. Traister published in 1987 with 130 pages.
In the video I also wish everyone a happy new year, talk a little about upcoming Xin1 projects, and mention how expensive it will be to upgrade my scope to 350 MHz.
And if you’re interested the Wikipedia page for Logic Analyzer says that the first commercially available instrument to be called a “Logic Analyzer” was the HP 5000A Logic Analyzer, introduced in October 1973.

I had a problem where I needed to delete a device driver that had been installed so that I could install a replacement. I found How to Remove Old and Useless Drivers in Windows and the process was roughly:
You can then look for the old driver and remove it.
