LOW-TECH MAGAZINE

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/16

Below is a cool site that I do not just list because I like the site, but also that they have a solar powered server running a low-tech version of it.

[WayBack] LOW-TECH MAGAZINE

Doubts on progress and technology

It actually started as a Dutch site, is ran by a Belgian now living in Barcelona. This means many articles are available in various languages, not just English and Dutch, but many also in French, German, Spanish, and Italian. Some articles are only available in English or Dutch.

Via: [WayBack] The last c’t Magazin +c’t magazin mentioned lowtechmagazine.com and I have already spent hours reading various articles there … – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/16

Just in case I want to really go off-grid: [WayBack] Li-Ion BMS – Lithium-Ion Battery Management Systems and large battery packs

It has a configuration selector module pointing to companies (even one in The Netherlands) that can help me out.

Being efficient actually holds you back

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/06/16

A while ago, over some period of time, I found a few related posts on being efficient optimising time management, on both professional and personal levels. Fully going the “optiomal” usually isn’t that a good thing.

Basically, you need slack or idle time. Plenty of it. That improves your agility too.

When you are stuck, use “Oblique strategies – defeat creative block”

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/06/10

Sometimes you are stuck. Then this often helps, even outside the music industry:

[WayBack] Oblique strategies – defeat creative block: Draw random Oblique Strategy cards to break through creative block.

These are disruptive which is the whole point being stuck.

Obey the first and only rule: pick the first card and apply what it says.

  • Do NOT fall for the urge to draw multiple cards.
  • Do NOT make a list of all cards then choose from it.

Both above failures kill the randomness of the above strategy.

More on them at [WayBack] Oblique Strategies – Wikipedia
