I’ve been going at In The Lab With Jay Jay for a bit over three months now, and I finally got my first comment on YouTube that wasn’t from a friend of mine:
Do you know they based lester crest from gta v on you?
You literally have the same look and the setup is similiar to his in game lol.
I have an item on my TODO list to make a program to convert text into Title Case. On a whim, I asked ChatGPT to do this for me, and it did! ChatGPT is automating me out of work!
I’ve made arrangements to hang my Xbox Torx drivers (you need T10, T15, and T20 drivers, I got this HORUSDY 12-Piece Magnetic Torx Screwdrivers Set, S2 Steel T5 – T40 Torx Star Screwdrivers with Demagnetizer and Storage Pouch) on the side of my table:
I used 30mm nails but they’re not quite long enough, so I got some 40mm ones which I will upgrade to when they arrive.
Also I moved my old laptop off the music stand to make room for my bodge wire and Kapton tape dispenser:
Have been researching Xbox DVD capacitors.
Decided not to do an “unboxing” for this bit of kit which arrived this arvo. But my new tape dispenser arrived. It’s for my Kapton tape.
I was at the thrift store the other day and I found this retro gaming system for AU$15 (US$10). Haven’t had a play with it yet, I’m saving it for when I have some time to do the unboxing. And I didn’t want to do that until I had my new HDMI recording setup installed, but that’s done now, so I AM READY BABY.
I’ve installed my two new microscopes, the TOMLOV DM602 Pro which arrived today, and the Yizhan Microscope which arrived yesterday.
Using my new 8K 5-in 1-out HDMI 2.1 Switch I can put either of the microscopes on the top display. I can also put the Rigol MSO5074 scope and an Xbox on the top display. There is one spare HDMI port which is on the front of the device which I can use for ad hoc purposes.
Before the HDMI switch output runs into the top display (a Teac TV) it runs through a 4K Audio Video Capture Device which allows me to record the output for inclusion in my videos.
Installed a new mat in front of my bench. It’s made from an Amazon box (cardboard) and gaffer tape.

I found myself reminiscing about my implementation of Blowfish today. It earned me the great honour of being listed on Bruce Schneier’s web page. My implementation made Blowfish compatible across 32-bit signed ints, 64-bit signed ints, and 64-bit floats. I wrote this code coming up on 12 years ago… how time flies.
