   Good to hear. Today I used my 2010 scandium Kona for the first time this year. Has a creaking noise I need to track down.

   I'm not wed to GPL specifically but I feel better if the license is tested rather than theoretical so cases like this are a step forward. Without getting into details, I've released BSD-licensed software that has been used in comm

   Great. I'm even more likely to use GPL now (which is a complete 180 from my early days where I would only consider BSD or MIT).

   What do you call people that hang out with Nazis? It sounds like you are nitpicking that adjacent white supremacist groups with their own iconography (and merch) are somehow different.

   My Canadian startup was acquired by a silicon valley company. They definitely did not pay US rates. They referred to our office as Bangalore of the North.

   Solaris is good memories for me too but only nostalgia in 2022. First job out of school was writing device drivers for Solaris.

   I remember playing this game in the early 90s. My main memory is hacking it by editing saved game files with a hex editor. :)

    In the past this was true. Now some providers look for a minimum volume of emails to establish a reputation. It's diabolical.

    I use Postfix for SMTP. Inbound emails arrive directly at my server without any intermediary. Outbound emails use Postfix sender_dependent_default_transport_maps, which routes outbound emails via mailgun. I use this method because I host mu

    I've been running my own email since forever (and over UUCP before that) and always considered it easy too. However starting this year I'm paying for an SMTP relay so my outbound mails share transit with other relay users', m

    Absolutely. Needs no changes for this application. Marketing to motorcycle mechanics is one of my growth ideas but I'm focused on bicycle wheels for the moment because that's the niche I come from.

    I like to think Brandt would approve. But he would probably have some thoughts and not spare my feelings haha. Thanks for your contributions about wheels elsewhere in this thread (I've restricted my comments to the tooling). You demons

    It's possible I have a Canadian accent. But now that I think about it, Turing Stand is a name with great potential. ;-)

    The product is aimed at shops/mechanics that make money building wheels. Time is money so building a little faster is more profitable. Or a better result can be delivered in the same amount of time. If you like it will give you PDF out

    It's a standard industrial pedal. We have a pile of them, maybe a dozen different samples. The shell is a starting point. Final manufacturing happens here where the internal wiring is completed, internal components are added, and the o

    Very much on point. Wheel Analytics is designed to supercharge skills rather than replace them.

    Appreciate your comment. Now fixed. I'll add a cron job to check links in the future.

    A naked indicator shows alignment at a single point. Wheel Analytics puts this number in context by relating it to the readings for every point on the wheel and adds analysis to help improve alignment.

    I appreciate your comment. This is a B2B product and I feel comfortable the ROI is there for the right customer. Keep in mind 50% of the price pays for premium digital indicators from Mitutoyo. On the Islandix blog I explain how to source c

    I'm not sure I understand the question. Wheel Analytics augments traditional methods, for which I have great respect (and hundreds of wheelbuilds of experience). Care is taken to preserve traditional ways of working, for example the UI

    Good for spoked wheels of every type. The speedup factor for repairs is one of the main benefits. The display highlights the most deviant parts of the wheel and shows these deviations in the context of the whole wheel. Mechanics can use the

    That's one of the features. Live Tensio, one visualization in Wheel Analytics, shows live tension as you introduce your tensiometer to the wheel. A live reading can be recorded by pressing the foot pedal. Tension distribution is then p

    I run all my own services but just relented and setup mailgun as an outbound SMTP relay. It works well and solves the deliverability problems associated with low-traffic IP addresses. The only tricky thing was making sure my outbound SMTP r
