During the New Year Show Ken soldered a component tester. Unfortunately this did not work.
NYBill offered to fix it and he succeeded in his show hpr2591 :: International Troubleshooting. When he shipped it back he included two 555 timers with the message: Now, figure out how to make LED's blink with those 555's!
In this show Ken uses the online guide FLASHING L.E.D. USING 555 TIMER By Trilesto to do this.
The right podcast is:
Lostnbronx takes a quick look at how story endings need to be structured in order to be satisfying. Lots of endings are possible, but they don’t all require the same treatment. Some can be abrupt, some can be sad, but all of them need to meet certain emotional expectations.
In this episode I talk to Rachel Lancaster from the Micro:Bit foundation.
It’s been a while since I posted my first attempt at recording a show in my car, this attempt was recorded not that long after that but I’d forgotten to post it, hopefully, it’s not too boring.
This is the previously mentioned dictation device I used

An article that explains how to remove noise using Audacity, which was what dodddummy was talking about when he commented on my first show on HPR2377 https://www.podfeet.com/blog/recording/how-to-remove-noise-with-audacity/
Link to Dave’s (thelovebug) page and the original John Kulp’s $2 microphone show that kicked all this off. Looking forward to getting a chance to catch up with Dave’s drive into work show. Refer to Dave’s episode HPR2400 and John Kulp’s original $2 microphone show HPR1812

This is a small article in Wikipedia that covers the Electret Microphone which is the type used in the microphone recommended by John Kulp, Dave (thelovebug) and now me.

Series: Bash Scripting | Comments (1)
This is my ninth contribution to the Bash Scripting series under the heading of Bash Tips. The previous episodes are listed below in the Links section.
It seems to me that it would be worthwhile looking at how Bash can be used to make decisions, such as how many times a loop should cycle (looping constructs) or to choose between multiple choices (conditional constructs). Of course we need to look at some of the expressions used in conjunction with the commands that do these tasks – the tests themselves – and we’ll do this in this episode.
This is a complex area which I had some trouble with when I first started using Bash, and there is a lot to say about it all. I have prepared a group of HPR shows about this subject, in order to do it justice, and this is the first of the group.
I have provided detailed notes as usual for this episode, and these can be viewed here.
In this episode, Klaatu talks about playing Magic: The Gathering for cheap.
See rpggeek.com/thread/532036/how-build-deck-magic-gathering by Eric Jome for a good deck building formula.

$HOME/.config/ranger/scope.sh, scope is the feature that allows for file preview from inside the console. Text files are highlighted based on their file extension, for non-text files, different converters can be used to coerce the file into a text representation. Some items are available out of the box, but the configuration is written in such a way that any text can be presented in the preview screen.case "$extension" in
