Finding the right cable can be tricky. I’ve tried a couple of models and they only work well with USB C cables that have quite small plugs. I had better results cutting open and hollowing out a real connector though it was a lot of work.

I love weird spam like this. My website is basically just "Hello World". They can order as many nothings as they like.

Err, OK. What's that betting that 0.1p gets rounded up?

I spent a year converting Windows apps to run on HP/UX with an awful product called Bristol Technology Wind/U. I was just starting to enjoy my Christmas break and then this guy appears on the TV...

Playing with DTF printing, I made the Ultimate mug. These things are Rare now though.

That's just going to move the dust around. You need one of these

And done. Annoyingly, because of the length of thunderbolt plugs, I had to keep the metal casing attached to hide the cable. Seemed only appropriate to use a VGA cable to connect a floppy disk.

This week's project done - one motorised 3D printer filament respooler. It may also have respooled a small amount of finger because it's got a high-torque motor and no clutch.

UV desktop printing is the wave of the future for home-made custom PCBs. This is way easier than pre-coated boards, dry-film photoresist or laser etching

They say practice makes perfect. I’m going to need a *lot* more practice.

After a bunch of laser and chemical experiments, CAD, cutting, etching soldering, gluing, drilling, and some genuine pain, my first custom-PCB-based device. It’s a smart radiator fan that’s ugly as sin and cost me about 5 times as much as I could have got a dumb one from Amazon but still worth it.

Took a bit of time to dial in but direct laser etch seems faster and safer
