Things I like or have learned while programming and doing CNC machining. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. There was a time when CAD and CAM software was simply not available for anyone without paying a substantial sum of money. The version of AutoCAD 10 (which came on 10 floppies) that I used for a year at MFJ Enterprises to do product documentation cost almost $1000. Arguably the first really free CAD software that was good quality was Sketchup. Sketchup was written by a company called @Last Software. The las...

I was building a Windows Form Application in Visual C# Express 2010 and had a problem that needed a lot of searching to figure out. I could not get a value to "enter" and tab to the next textbox when I hit the. After much trial and error (most of which would work but I still got a bell when I hit Enter. Checks for Enter, suppresses it and sends a tab.

It had sat there for 4? Years since the PO bought it from a classic car junk yard for $3500. I gave him $1000 and had it running with only an alternator, fuel pump, and battery. It is titled as a 1970 but appears to be a 1969 in the parts and design. Paul replied, "Oh yeah. NEVER! Wire wheel chrome bumper MGB is.

Things I like or have learned while programming and doing CNC machining. Monday, February 21, 2011. Setting up a Python CGI Sandbox on Windows. It makes sense sometimes to set up a sandbox for development of CGI. By sandbox I mean a computer isolated from the web running all the programs needed to develop for CGI.
