I found this really interesting (and long!) article over here: Electronic project kits: hands on with a vintage 160-in-1.
It’s about old electronics kits, with a focus on the Science Fair 160 in ONE Electronic Project Kit.
A friend on IRC referred me to this today: https://namingschemes.com/. It’s various lists of nouns in a theme which you can use for naming computers and such.
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.

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.

There are a couple of decent looking ebook bundles available via Humble Bundle at the moment:
I found this kickass resource: Super Nintendo Development Wiki. See for instance Schematics, Ports, and Pinouts.
One of my YouTube viewers Max donated some stuff to the channel today. How cool is that!? Expect to see some Nintendo awesomeness in the near future. <3
