Modification: Manson HCS-3102 Power Supply Output On/Off Switch

Posted on August 2, 2016 by lui_gough

Three years ago, I purchased a pair of Manson HCS-3102 programmable switch-mode power supplies. These were not particularly expensive supplies, and judging by some of the noises they made and the granularity of the programming and read-back, weren’t particularly high … Continue reading →

Site Update: WP Super Cache Active

Posted on September 23, 2014 by lui_gough

So far so good. It seems the use of CloudFlare CDN hasn’t broken anything critical yet, although as CloudFlare only caches static content, the slow response time of Ziphosting’s servers is still a problem. So far, I have found that … Continue reading →

Analysis: DVB-T Freeview in Sydney, NSW, Australia

Posted on October 2, 2013 by lui_gough

It’s probably been clear from my “new year’s” piece that I’m not too much a fan of the free-to-air TV in Sydney (or Australia) at the moment. Ultimately, it delivers quantity but not quality. As I noticed the recent “launching” … Continue reading →
