A new Q&A section!

I have edited the Q&A section I introduced a while back to a more, user friendly version. The last one was a Facebook plug-in called Facebook Live Stream, which was mostly useless for our need.

The new system allows you to chat in real time. Basically, it's just for fun, but if someone has a question they can write it down or answer one posted by someone else. It can be a place for engineering students to discuss projects, clear doubts or just relax after a hectic day.

Have fun on Q&A.

Facebook Dislike and Indifferent Buttons

I to write an article on a dis button, but don't know where to start. I understand that the button does what it's supposed to do; share something you on your Facebook page with all your friends.

Now, what if there is something I do not and want to share that with my friends? Would I need to click on and then specify what my actual feeling are towards the content I dis? Why, in the name of inter-web, can't I get a dis button to make my job easier. Do the people at Facebook not want us to question the ness of something?

Like many before me who have pointed out, I feel there is a need for

or better yet, a what-the-hell button

The Salvage: Pace Dgital Receiver Decoder

I had an old digital receiver which was lying around useless. You can salvage a lot of electronic parts from this.

Since it is a audio / video device, most of the soldered IC's cannot be used by themselves, and I am not interested to do so. However, there are many other parts you can use.

The Salvage: Composite to RF Converter

This is one the first in the series of The Salvage. How to salvage old electronic equipment for valuable parts and IC's. Today we will look at an old, locally made Composite video to RF converter. I bought this to connect my Playstation 2 with an old TV at home.

Moving Blog from Wordpress to Blogspot

I have moved from my wordpress installation to a blog on blogspot. This move may seem contrary to what I thought before. But I needed something simple to deliver information with the flexibility of an editable interface.

The free account on Blogspot allows you edit your basic HTML template and create HTML/Java Script Gadgets which is not allowed on the free account of Wordpress. As for my wordpress installation on the server, it was too flexible to maintain and my free hosting (www.freehostia.com) suddenly stopped parses from external IP's, in short I could not use Google Analytic and Askimet without paying them for an upgraded account. I do not want to do this for my for now.

Anyway, everything is working fine. I will be writing on a lot more topics now. Keep an eye on the side bar categories and the Pages.
