CLIFF Electronic Components – Quicktest; Resistance wheel
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/11
[WayBack] CLIFF Electronic Components – Quicktest:
The Quicktest is ideal for electrical shops, factories, labs and service departments.
With its lid open the wires of a plugless lead can be inserted into the insulated clips. When the lid is closed, current passes to the equipment being demonstrated or tested.
A neon light shows that the connector is live and ready to use. The fuse (BS 1362) is easily accessible for replacement.
The connector is made of tough, safe materials. The base is phenolic moulded for insulation and rigidity. The lid is flame retardant glass filled thermo plastic.
The insulated clips are colour coded for easy identification. The flexible cable grip will take any normal mains cable. Only one small screwdriver is needed for both the base entry and the terminal screws.
Another handy tool is this: [WayBack] Resistance Wheel | Jaycar Electronics, but it’s hard to get so you can build similar devices yourself with a few hours of work:

From the #AllesIstKaput department: DNS 1.1.1.1 is unusable for many; 9.9.9.9 has government affiliation
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/04
Abstract from this morning’s Twitter feed:
1.1.1.1[Wayback] DNS is broken in many areas (because of for instance AT&T, Vodafone, Cisco screwing up and1.1.1.1historically being marked for research purposes)9.9.9.9[Wayback] DNS has government affiliation (owned by Quad9, but the partner list below does not look nice)
So what’s left?
- Cloudflare:
1.0.0.1alternative to1.1.1.1 - Google:
8.8.8.8with secondary at8.8.4.4
There are a more interesting IPv4 addresses untaken for DNS, but I’m not sure they are likable enough:

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/02
Via Facebook groep “De Aker” wat restaurants die goed bereikbaar zijn (ook met rolstoel).
De eerste link wijst telkens naar Google Maps:
- Hotel Buiten is net ten noorden van het Sloterparkbad
- Bij Qunis zit in het gemaal van Lijnden
- Hotel New Century tegenover De Zwart tankstation serveert authentiek chinees
- De Halve Maen is een Grand Café vlakbij de Sloterbrug tegenover de molen van Sloten
- Later aan het water is een vis/vlees grill restaurant aan de Nieuwe Meerdijk in Badhoevedorp
- Kerkzicht in Sloten tegenover de kerk is een bruine kroeg annex restaurant
- [WayBack] Herbergh van Badhoevedorp, bevat inmiddels twee restaurants: La Bouche (met een Frans/Italiaanse keuken) en Trattoria La Bocca met Italiaanse keuken.
- Bir Bey (los, dus geen Birbey) aan de Ookmeerweg kant van de Akerpoort is een chic Ottomaans restaurant
- Leziz aan de Pieter Calandlaan is meer trendy Turks restaurant
- Sahan aan de Tussenmeer is een meer klassiek Turks restaurant
- Il Delfino Blu aan de Pieter Calandlaan is een combinatie van Turks/Italiaanse Pizzeria, restaurant, snackbar met ook afhaal met daardoor een goede buurtfunctie.

Exclusive: The Silicon Valley quest to preserve Stephen Hawking’s voice – San Francisco Chronicle
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/01
Long read: [WayBack] Exclusive: The Silicon Valley quest to preserve Stephen Hawking’s voice – San Francisco Chronicle
Eric Dorsey, a 62-year-old engineer in Palo Alto, was watching TV Tuesday night when he started getting texts that Stephen Hawking had died. He turned on the news and saw clips of the famed physicist speaking in his iconic android voice – the voice that Dorsey had spent so much time as a young man helping to create, and then, much later, to save from destruction. Dorsey and Hawking had first met nearly 30 years earlier to the day. In March 1988, Hawking was visiting UC Berkeley during a three-week lecture tour. At 46, Hawking was already famous for his discoveries about quantum physics and black holes, but not as famous as he was about to be.
