s0 Traingirl EraRejoice!
The ANSI Z535 sign generator is back online and working again after I was able to track down the original author, get the code and fix it up to host again!
It's now available at Zippy535.s0.is
Please enjoy, fellow nerds!
s0 Traingirl EraThere are a lot of people who tell me they think I’m clever for computer bullshit and I’m like no please I’m begging you.
Show me more fibre arts. Show me your drawings. Your watercolours. Your music, your songs. Your dances, your jokes, your juggling. Your poetry, your stories, your photos. The decorations you put on your bike. The pleasing way you organised your bookshelf.
That is true beauty and skill. I am greedy for it.
the computers are just a hell of our own making.
s0 Traingirl EraThis is your regular PSA to learn the “over-under method” of rolling cables!
Coiling a cable the ‘normal’ way, whether just in your hands, around your elbow, or somewhere else, imparts a 1/2 axial twist to the cable each time.
That’s the main thing that causes your extension cables to develop kinks and degrade!
If you use the over-under method, the 1/2 twist is counteracted by a -1/2 twist every second loop, so the cable is kept flat and unstressed.
This can hugely increase the lifetime of your electrical cables, to upwards of 20 years of heavy use, without kinks or twists.

s0 Traingirl EraIf anyone here doesn't know about the astonishingly intricate hand-machined electromechanical contraptions by Tatjana van Vark, a dutch trans woman, allow me to happily introduce you.
Among her creations are an Enigma-esque cryptography machine, including teletext and morse send/receive attachments, and a mechanical Fourier analyser "Harmonium". She has also carefully restored a mechanical telephone exchange and a WW2 aerial bombing computer.
