http://tcl.leipper.org/author/bryan
Technologies with a focus on communications and media. Must be good. Brickbat quotient is quite high. It’s like the Upstart and Systemd upgrades to the Linux init system. Boy, did that get some people upset. This time around its Snap, Flatpack, and other efforts to solve application compatibility and security issues. (see 2daygeek). The thing is, software applications often depend upon common libraries of functions. Some of these libraries are provided […]. Ubuntu and its ilk. We live in interesting times.

TechComm Labs : RV Restoration
http://tcl.leipper.org/category/offgrid/fixing-updating-repairing-and-improving-a-little-mobile-living-space
Technologies with a focus on communications and media. Batteries, ignorance, dreams. Roadtreking waxes eloquent about the amazing lithium battery system in his RV. It is, perhaps, a better lesson on why snake oils sales so well rather than anything useful about RV battery systems. First problem is that he is amazed at the kind of power draw you can get from Li batteries rather than the […]. What glue to use? Kit building and hardware hacking. Gigaom describes Why lithium-ion batteries die so young and pr...

Technologies with a focus on communications and media. Winchester house software development. Jon Evans’ Three Reasons Why Your Software Is So Far Behind Schedule. Got me thinking about Winchester House ( wikipedia. Software development. His rationale is that it is “technical debt” rather than an irrational effort to keep ghosts at bay – but maybe technical debt is indeed just such an effort? Saturday, January 31, 2015, at 10:06 am.

More noise than signal. Random nonsense about electronics, networks, photography, farming, and whatever else comes along. Tuesday, April 06, 2010. CadSoft recently released version 5.8 of their EagleCAD schematic and layout software. They have a free version that is limited, but popular with hardware hobbiests. Now they also have a Freemium version that is less limited, yet, too limited. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). DIY embedded electronics sites. LadyAda (the genius behind Adafruit).

More noise than signal: AVR Dragon vs slow clock rates
http://more-noise-than-signal.blogspot.com/2010/05/avr-dragon-vs-slow-clock-rates.html
More noise than signal. Random nonsense about electronics, networks, photography, farming, and whatever else comes along. Monday, May 03, 2010. AVR Dragon vs slow clock rates. I am using the Atmel AVR Dragon board for debugging. For $50, its a great tool. The AVR Dragon supports virtually all AVR devices, and works with AVR Studio to support Atmel assembler and GCC C code and in-circuit debugging. It also works with other tools, such as the command line AVRDUDE utility. For my project, I am trying to con...

More noise than signal. Random nonsense about electronics, networks, photography, farming, and whatever else comes along. Sunday, May 23, 2010. What I learned at Code Camp. I attended Portland Code Camp with about 1400 other geeks yesterday at the University of Portland. Because paper notes get lost and don't hyperlink so well, I'm going to post them here. Eventually, the slides will be online and I will link them. Developing a Rich Interactive Application Experience. Brian Henderson, UX guy from Seattle.
