Hi, guys.
If you want, since Andrew's space is full, you can host big files on my website for the time being - user is infodevice, password is devinfo, address is ftp.selfasbody.com - put files inside the info.selfasbody.com (feel free to make a directory for yourself)

I thought I'd posted that video last week, but obviously I didn't.

Anyway!

New visualisation is going to be much simpler. Small levers! I can work with that.

Building a smoke detector from the ground up is interesting, but I think I can do it. I've got the theory down, anyway... practicalities are, as alway… Continue
