To all: Wishing you a Very Happy and healthy New Year!

Guys guys guys, I found the archive of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures (it's not an achievement, they've not hidden them) - you can watch every single one since they started televising them in the 60s: www.rigb.org/christmas-le... I love watching them every year, now I can see them all!

Not quite as well developed in this part of [noisy] south #Edinburgh.

Any recommendations for a free iPad app for simple circuit design - block diagram drawing? Export to PNG. Thanks!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year , and enjoy the holiday. Great broadcast from #SAQ - thanks! God Jul!

Windows Update was unlikely to be the cause. You would have set you active hours so that updates wouldn’t be triggered inside your working hours, I trust. If the BSOD happens regularly I suggest getting the machine checked, perhaps a hardware error?

A reminder that it’s Windows Updates today or tomorrow.

I was reminded today of a program I already have for plotting #GNSS #GPS performance from a serial port on Windows - GNSSToolKit3. It works nicely and has many more views than my screenshot shows. This Is plotting from an indoor GPS puck connected to my #tinyGTC. See: github.com/zxcwhale/Gns...
