The new WWVB formats dying stillborn with an utterly amazing lack of interest.
Sorry, but I was dead wrong on this one. Stunning new archaeological discoveries, combined with incredibly powerful new research tools.
But continuing problems in publication acceptances and delays. The stranglehold on technical research publication finally being broken, with open source dissemination dominant, low access costs, easy publication, long term access, and peer review taking place after publication rather than before.
Dramatic reduction in price and greatly improved availability of non toy video drones. And significant improvement in long term downed drone location. Major increases in the Goldilocks Exoplanet count, with some unexpected and highly unusual but still lower level lifeforms becoming apparent elsewhere.
Craig's list finally coming to Safford. Mostly aerospace overstock items and such, but otherwise a large variety of interesting stuff. The easiest way to get a nearly complete list is to search under "lot". Being new to the game, they seem to have very few bidders so far and many items close at their opening bid price. As with any online bid, your best strategy is to proxy bid percent of your max very near the close of the auction, but not so late as to trip any auto extension.
Fascinating details of an ancient Fourier Synthesis computer can be found here. And Fourier fundamentals here. Fourier, of course, plays a major role in our Magic Sinewaves , particularly in their high speed calculation.
Misunderstanding Fourier is also the root cause of many perpetual motion scams , particularly those that appear in the Church of the latter day Crackpots. For, there is no such thing as "pulsed dc". What you have instead is a dc term, an ac fundamental, and various supporting harmonics. All of which are absolutely indistinguishable from the composite. In particular it is only the DC term that can contribute significantly to electrolysis.
The ac stuff mostly just reduces efficiency and creates excess heat. More on similar concepts here and here and here.. Many browsers cannot deal with my. PSL files. The browsers apparently choose to image them as HTML instead. As a result, most carriage returns end up missing and everything is jammed together and first appears as gibberish. I'm not sure what the best solution is. FTP works just fine but raises extreme security issues. Renaming them as. TXT files has major hassles.
The apparent best two solutions are to either to add the carriage returns yourself after downloading. Or else email me and I will email return a clean copy of the. PSL code. A kiddies violin being out of tune revealed this bunch of free online pitch references and reminded me of the way things were , my unauthorized autobiography.
One of my earliest "fun with numbers" project was trying to find the "best" eight bit sequence to accurately synthesize the equally tempered musical scale. This is not a trivial task in that the irrational tones are spaced in frequency by the twelfth root of two, or 1. The only "computer" I had at the time at Goodyear Aerospace was an ancient Olivetti Programma , a yard square boat anchor that used huge magnetic cards.
Some after hours playing around with this beast eventually revealed this magic sequence. And also proved that this sequence was unique for the least error for all notes. Beating the 3 cents one cent is approximately 0.
I ended up designing this early and cheap integrated circuit musician's pitch reference and published it in the September Popular Electronics.
Its reprint is now in my Classic Reprints library. A year or so later, Mostek came out with their MK top octave generator which had the unspeakable luxury of using this better nine bit sequence of Cheap and simple top octave generators dramatically simplified classic electronic organs , but they were quickly blown out of the water by MIDI and improved synthesizer technology.
Problems included the notes being locked together rather than chorusing, severe background noise problems because all notes were present all the time, and an architecture that pretty much demanded rats nest wiring. Much more on my fun with numbers discoveries here , with the real biggie being my Magic Sinewaves and this ultra fast calculator. I decided to do a major revision of our Gila Valley Day Hikes in which we have live linking to actual locations for all but the most sensitive of prehistoric, cave, and similar sites.
Please report anything not working or missing, typos, or suggestions for other entries. One workaround is to cut and paste an edited older link and then add several underline characters to the middle of the link. When you switch to HTML, the positioning of the intended new link now becomes completely obvious. More eBay insider secrets here. Added my DotnBar tv pattern generator to our classic reprints from the July issue of Radio Electronics.
This was a very early project using RTL integrated circuits. The battery life was an atrocity, and the horizontal frequency was off a tad, but nobody seemed to complain too much.
The only available outside unit photo known to be available was this less than stellar one. I made some minor adjustments to it using the Bitmap Typewriter. Amazingly, I still seem to have a few of the original DotnBar knobs, so I ended up photo substituting them.
Photo reconstruction assistance available. Updated and expanded our Arizona Auction Links page. Removed some dead links and added ACS. Your own custom regional auction finder can be created for you per these details. And more auction help in general can be found here and here.. And, of course, our own eBay sales here. Online auction photos tend to be small and murky and blurry.
Here's a trick that sometimes can help Right click your mouse to copy to clipboard. Then paste into Imageview32 or similar. Then try magnifying and a click or two of sharpening. Changing brightness and contrast and gamma can also sometimes reveal all sorts of hidden stuff. More online auction help here.
I'd like to start a definitive directory of utterly useless but nonetheless absolutely true factoids. Such as The Canary Islands were named after a large dog. The eastern end of the Panama Canal is on the Pacific Ocean. There are only forty six states in the US. Reno is west of Los Angeles.. The propane fire training simulator often adds icicles to its fireball.
Arkansas has six states on its southern boundary. Lake Havasu City AZ has more lighthouses than anywhere else. The tallest mountain in the world is in the United States.
New York state is north, south, east, and west of Norwalk, CT. It is possible to score a one point safety in NFL football. The latter last happened in , but they have since tightened up the rules. It still remains possible. Please email me your contributions.
Have some Madeira M'Dear? What would things look like if our prehistoric recently canal folks also had some access to concrete and iron? It turns out one possible answer can be found on the small Portuguese island of Madeira.
Where you will find lots of spectacularly similar hanging canals comparable to those of Southeastern Arizona except for the obviously improved modern technology. These are called levadas , and among more obvious uses, they are outstanding hiking trails. One guided tour can be found here. As far as I know so far, these are the only worldwide comparable hanging canal features known. Development was almost certainly totally independent. But both based on the same fundamental engineering principle that the slope of a hanging canal can be made largely independent of the surrounding terrain.
Much more here. Added A tour of some prehistoric hanging canal images to academia. Added Newly discovered trinchera in Southeastern Arizona. A rotated and somewhat 3D Google Earth version can also be found here. Some Gila Valley Hiking Club projects that should tie in with our prehistoric hanging canals are tentatively planned for mid January. You are certainly welcome to participate. More details as they unfold. We may expand this into a GuruGram eventually.
Connect pc and monitor power cords and monitor cable, add fresh batteries to mouse and keyboard or add new wireless units. Place operating system CD in drive and reboot. Seek out desktop screen with working cursor and mouse and keyboard functional. Run additional factory application and driver CD's. Run both Wordpad and Paint, creating shortcuts. Create a new folder and save test files to it. Save work to thumb drive. Old version of Paint is not upgradeable, so you may eventually want to substitute Paint.
Net or whatever. Use the Control Panel to adjust monitor size and background. Add a wireless interface such as a Netgear WNA CD must be in drive before connecting. Add velcro where appropriate. Access an existing WiFi network of proper 4 or 5 amplitude and if needed passwords. Use Internet Explorer to install Google Chrome being sure to use its real site and not a malware link.
Add Chrome shortcut. Test Chrome and WiFi by accessing www. Then download and install any Windows updates. Again, be sure to use the "real" Microsoft sites rather than malware. Download McAfee Internet Security or an equivalent. Make sure it is working. Some packages allow use on three or more computers. Accessorize Chrome as wanted. Recommended more tools - extensions are No Underline and SpeedDial.
Populate SpeeDial with your most likely to be used websites. I, of course, would recommend www. Our second entry on the previous rebuild needed this Spanish Translator. Our third recommendation would be eBay. Add what you want as appropriate. Set your Chrome search engine to Google. Flush any attempts at search engine piracy.
Be sure to use genuine Adobe downloads and not a malware site. Download Imageview32 and test. Download Filezilla and test. Be sure no personal FTP links are left in Filezills on any computer you are going to give to a third party! Resolve your email options. My recommended is to use Fatcow as your website ISP along with their companion email services. Fatcow requires that I tell you I am one of their associates.
Add headphones or stereo sound to the rear audio jack. Test the sound. Watch a video. Once the dust settles, add a printer and a printer driver. If the printer does not include a scanner, add and test a standalone one. Please report any missing crucial details in any of the above. Just found out that nearly all of the New Mexico subastas are going to be sold at auction! Sales and shipping to New Mexico aren't quite as bad as they used to be. Yeah, there's still the language barrier and the hassles at customs.
One main problem was that all the New Mexico truck tires are all a different size and spacing, so everything needed reloaded at the border crossings.
More details at your nearest New Mexico embassy. Made some updates and adjustments to the offsite links on our home page. Added Academia. Saucer Smear apparently died with its webmaster. Upgraded to the new Central Arizona Grotto website. Added Search Tempest for better Craig's List access. Picked up the new Pittsburgh Streetcars web location. In regards to the latter, attempting to view all of these in one session will result in yinz guys pronounci ng "beer" as "airn".
Fortunately, a desert rat like me is immune. Skooze me while I redd up the website. Please report any link corrections or requests. Just discovered the free Netgear Genie. This one gives you real time plots of your net activity. Two obvious uses would be to make sure no one has pirated your computer. And to verify that any open WiFi links are not being hijacked by a neighbor. Many of our eBay guidelines can be found here. Such inventory buying opportunities typically and often happen with "contents of room" and "contents of cabinet" auction lots, "poisoned lots" including worthless trash, "put it with the next one" auctioneer momentum ploys, heavy items that can allow minor valuable parts recycled, large quantity assorted lots, items requiring major triage, items needing mix and match part swapping refurb, or simply your being the only bidder that recognizes value.
Or whose seller's primary goals are to free up real estate, make room for new projects, or clear up bankruptcy issues. Or, with traditional auctions, being very late in the auction, degrees in the shade except for the four inch hail, the rabid bats largely failing to drive away the rattlesnakes, and, of course, no restrooms. Anything less cuts into your other business expenses, such as labor, storage, refurb, wrong guesses, lack of eBay interest, utilities, slow sales, and, above all, the value of your time and effort.
Thus, the price of your inventory should be an utterly negligible portion of your actual business costs. Note that a SBR is equal to a 97 percent commission, making consignment selling for others a laughingly ludicrous joke. A reasonable selling price for our types of items on eBay would be one sixth of normal distributor cost. Combine this with a SBR leaves you with a maximum inventory buy price of a penny on the dollar.
We normally seek out one half to one third of this price ceiling. Naturally, if all of your inventory buy offers are accepted, you are paying far too much. Our usual goal is to hit a five percent acceptance rate. Which, of course, you make up for by bidding on twenty times the quantity of items you could possibly use.
Ferinstance, if you Google "Get Acrobat Reader" or "Download Chrome", the "real" site may end up sixth or seventh on the list, with the higher ranking sites usually being malware. Such malware will typically hijack your website, grab your home page, force its own search engines on you, or otherwise take control of your computer! The malware sites get this way by manipulating the Google popularity rules. These malware substitutions more often happen with multiple search words.
Thus, searching on "Chrome" will often rank the real program higher than searching with "Chrome Download". Apparently You Tube now has bunches of free and mostly classic full length movies available for download. Sadly, the cross genre classic Godzilla versus the night nurses is not included. How they did the tapioca pudding scene remains under strict NDA.
And the restraining order from the Tapioca Pudding Institute caused the flick to be released directly to eight track.
Access to many dozens of free video download sites appears here. Plus the beyond ultra nerdy Twit. And the thousands of free college football games at NCAA.
My own video can be found here. A reminder that two of our newest web page additions include a major rework of our Gila Day Hikes that now include lat lons of many non-sensitive locations.
Plus the usual reminder that Acme Mapper is incredibly useful for most any exploration. Plus our recently accepted Bajada Hanging Canals paper newly up on Wikipedia. Your comments on either addition welcome. Astounding bargains in used computers seem to be becoming available at high school, community college, and even military auctions. And more can be expected at this weekend's upcoming Thatcher High School auction.
So far, there was one dead mouse and a scratched monitor with a somewhat mottled, but still highly usable background. Which likely was moisture caused, because it went away after a few hours of "cooking". The usual gotcha, of course, is that the hard disks have been totally wiped. But the EAC auction provided full recovery disks. These machines are more than fast enough for home video and easily connected to a smart Vizio or whatever.
School systems tend to use headphones rather than speakers, but this can be worked around with a sound cable to your tv. Doing so as early and as subtly as you can. The auctioneer will usually welcome this as a way to keep momentum. And the key to the low prices is to have only a few bidders that are only after a single machine. Supply and demand and all that.
The usual software you may want to download new would include Chrome , Acrobat Reader or full Acrobat , Filezilla , Imageviewer32, and Irfranview. Curiously, old versions of Paint are not upgradeable, so you may want to add Paint. NET or something similar. Plus printer or scanner software if you need these.
Should you be hosting your own website, my favorite remains Fat Cow. But they insist I tell you that I am one of their associates. Another gotcha to beware of. Even legitimate freeware sites may try to hijack Chrome or force all sorts of useless downloads on you. After each download, check to see if your home page and search engine are still yours.
Then check your program files for the current date and flush anything suspect that you do not want. Acme Mapper has proven to be enormously useful for our Hanging Canal research. Despite having "not quite" the resolution needed to actually see most portions of most canals. A reminder that addresses and place names found in Google Maps can be entered, besides the usual lat-lon in many different formats. I was wandering around an obscure part of Arizona with Acme , and discovered a knoll top collection of four nested triangles.
Whose most likely explanation are quite old prehistoric Trincheras. On checking with a trinchera specialty archaeologist, I found that these may in fact be unknown to the scientific community. Acme's major contribution here was the ability to instantly switch between topo mapping and satellite imaging.
As mentioned before, it sure would be nice to be able to selectively blend the two. As per this very crude example of Pacman, Arizona. On further inspection, several dozen adjacent knoll tops also had what may or may not be man made structures.
While only one other one has a somewhat triangular motif, when considered in context, the others do suggest possible tentative trinchera candidates. There is not the slightest hint of any relationship with CCC water spreaders. Their viewing literally screams "very old". CCC stuff tends to be down on the flats, focused on drainages, sharply imaged, and virtually never on knoll peaks. Why such a now arid and now desolate area would have been chosen at all remains highly enigmatic.
These are located south of the Mackenzie River. There is a vile and despicable pile of malware crap called Astromenda. This attaches itself to many supposedly "free" downloads and hijacks your home page , your back button, and becomes your only available search engine. It is fairly simple to remove the main Astromenda program using Add or Remove software out of the Control Panel. And fairly easy to reset your Chrome home page and home button using their Settings feature. But getting rid of the ban on all other search engines seems tricky as they may have locked out any ability to enter new engines.
This insidiosity is marked by the new engine blocks turning pink when you try to use them. Completely removing Chrome and its folder and reloading did not make the problem go away for me. It turns out there are twelve or more hidden Astromenda routines maliciously stashed in unexpected places in the windows operating system.
Details on options appear here. And tries to charge you double by a misleading order box. Spy Hunter did appear to work for me, but ransomware is ransomware. A fledging industry seems to have started with some fifty tons of grape harvest by Bonita Springs Vineyards. These folks are just north of the tomato factory at N Admittedly, this part of Graham county is very much more Willcox oriented, rather than Safford associated.
Much more on interesting things to do in Graham County here. The term "tipping point" seems to be newly emerging in many endeavors, such as here and here. By downloading any of the attached files, I acknowledge that I currently have a valid Technical Support agreement with McAfee.
