Toot

A Rendar Safebloc. A handy tool for connecting power temporarily to a thing with no mains plug so it can be tested.

Why the excitement? Well, I knew I had one and I've just found it again - it's been AWOL for about 20 years!

In the same box:

3 x 74LS673N

1 x DM74154N

1 x AY-5-1013 UART (Date code 7530)

1 x Z80ASIO-0

1 x Ferranti ULA2115E (Probably avionics-related)

Er, that's it.

Has your Sunday been this exciting!!?

What's your long-term AWOL re-find?

I don't know if it counts as an AWOL refind or not, but I made a huge discovery today.

I have been struggling to learn the algorithm for a particular move on a 2x2x3 Rubik's Cube. This morning I was practicing a sequence that is only used for 4x4x4 and larger cubes. It turns out (no pun intended) it is easily converted to solve my 2x2x3 cube! That's a pretty big win for me, but the answer has been there in front of me all the time!
