Robin Whittle  24 September  2013

Back to the main First Principles page for all sorts of things.

The web-mail directory, which include some systems-admin stuff:


Archiving Yahoo Groups

How I grabbed messages, attachements, files and photos from two Yahoo Groups, in September 2013, just before my account was Neoized and this became (as far as I know) impossible.

DIY-patchbay/
How I made a compact audio patch bay from a solderless breadboard.

HTML-email/
The problems I perceive with HTML email and why I believe that all email clients should default to sending plain text.

Silent-Hard-Drive/

My aluminium case to keep hard drives really cool and quiet.  Also some notes on CPU and power supply fans and on the beautiful Panasonic Scirocco centrifugal blowers.

TIFF-to-PDF/

Using open-source Ghostscript to convert one or more TIFF files into a single or multi-page PDF file.
