I’ve revamped the main site to support my new push into electronics consulting. Of course some of the content still requires construction, but most information has been successfully transferred. I took the time to learn CSS a little better and found it to be no more than a header file for HTML. What a relief! All [...] This post serves to tie together all the media for this trip in one easy reference for family members. Blog posts: Ahmedabad Photos: Ahmedabad Videos (on YouTube) I imagine this is what recovering alcoholics have to go through.

The following can be somewhat difficult to get right because the boards may warp and twist during the assembly process so [...] Project Euler is an international site that is dedicated to producing difficult mathematical problems that require a degree of programming ability to solve. Their problems are varying in difficulty but for the most part they are quite hard. The problems require some ingenuity to solve in under a minute, so the scalability of your solution [...] It’s time to put the build in buildfirst.
