I had a problem with my repair mat wherein it would slowly slide up the table. I had tried sticking it to the table with double sided tape, but the problem is the mat is very “non-stick”, nothing sticks to it. So I used two small screws to hold it to the table. Time will tell if the screws hold or not… (and yes, it *is* upside down… this is so that I can get my low component drawers out… :P)

In this video I clean my 1% and 2% tolerance resistors (my 5% tolerance resistors were cleaned previously). That’s 37 component trays worth, being 37 different types from 1Ω to 1MΩ. During the video I print new labels for the component drawers with my label maker and I use my iPhone to double check the colour coding.

In this video I open up a bag of goodies I received from my recent order at AliExpress. They were having a sale and I purchased ten items, as detailed in the video and below. At the same time I ordered an extra two bags, and I will be opening those in future videos on the channel.

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.

This evening I installed my new Horusdy 39-drawer component drawers. I am gonna make a video of the unboxing and installation, that should come out later today.
Check out this Hyper 7 R4 keyboard. I’m definitely putting this on my wishlist.
It doesn’t seem to have Cherry MX Speed Silvers as an option but ChatGPT says that Cherry Red are similar.

I was having a problem in WordPress for my blog where the title contained duplicate values, like “John’s blogJohn’s blog”.
The fix for me was to edit wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/header.php and disable a bit of the output, as shown below. I basically just added an if ( false ) to disable the code which caused the duplicate content.
This seems to effectively mean that Yoast SEO is in charge of the titles now. You can configure separately the homepage, posts, and pages titles in the Yoast SEO settings. I configure mine in Yoast SEO Settings / Content Types like this:
<title>
<?php
// Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed.
global $page, $paged;
wp_title( '|', true, 'right' );
// 2024-07-14 jj5 - OLD: I removed this because wp_title() (above) does everything that needs to be done.
if ( false ) {
// Add the site name.
bloginfo( 'name' );
// Add the site description for the home/front page.
$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );
if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ) {
echo " | $site_description";
}
// Add a page number if necessary:
if ( ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 ) && ! is_404() ) {
/* translators: %s: Page number. */
echo esc_html( ' | ' . sprintf( __( 'Page %s', 'twentyeleven' ), max( $paged, $page ) ) );
}
}
?>
</title>
Over time the joint on this holder comes a bit loose and I have to tighten it back up again. This time when I tightened it I dumped a whole tube of superglue in there. Hopefully that holds it!
I do put it under quite a bit of strain. In addition to holding the number pad for the booth, it also holds a bunch of my cables which I hang over it.
That red tape you can see I put there to stop the glue from leaking too much. I will remove that once the glue is dry.
