February 2025 Supporter Update
Added 2025-02-11 01:30:44 +0000 UTCHello!
I needed to just sit and work today on some capacitor sorting while waiting for something and I figured it was a perfect opportunity to record an update video. Spoiler, I don't have any news on the office, but at this point I'm fairly confident that whenever a new lease is available it will be fine. But I went over a few other topics that will give you some insight into how I'm approaching some things in some upcoming projects, as a teaser, Microsoft Office 97's Word makes an appearance in this video!

I cut out a bunch of cardstock squares for my screw organizers so that I can put them in the bottom of the bins. That way I can write "case screws" and "motherboard screws" on them so that I don't end up with a big box of screws and I'm not sure what goes where. Hoping to never have the "I wrecked the case by putting too big of a screw in the wrong place" issue

2025-02-11 02:54:36 +0000 UTCI would look into getting empty DIP rails, they're easy to cut to size and the legs will be suspended and not touching anything is you are concerned about ESD. I would avoid the foam, it isn't time stable and can cause more problems than it solves. I don't have that many IC parts, but I may go rails or explore using ESD bubble wrap around them.

2025-02-11 02:30:46 +0000 UTCI've gone though and sorted all my resistors, caps, switches, relays and nuts/bolts/washers, however it's now time to do the ICs... More problematic as they need conductive foam and can be small surface mount or large 40 pin DIP chips... Still looking for a decent storage unit for these. And in Australia is really rare to find cheap drawers like these...
