Fix It: Cheap Computer Feet

Image
For a while now, many of the little rubber feet on the bottom of my laptop have been missing. I've tried replacing them with custom-cut foam glued in place, but those came off after some time as well. And they were annoying to make. I wanted a quick and cheap fix that would last long and be easy to replace, if ever it were necessary again. Here is what I came up with.

Repository Hurricane

Of late, I've uploaded a storm of repositories. In the past, I was trying to consolidate by language and even set up my own library through the use of sub-repositories. It has come to my attention that is not the typical way of using repositories, and that it is perfectly common to make a repository for each project, even if there is only one or two files in it. So that is what I'm attempting.

LTSpice Nit-Picking

I have to admit: this is incredibly nit-picky of me, but it absolutely bothers me every time I open LTSpice that I find a gray background! I know, I know, you can very simply change the color preferences. And yes, it does last between sessions. However, I spend my time between three different operating systems: Windows 7, Ubuntu, and Xubuntu (for now). I install LTSpice under wine and it works great. But if its a re-install or I update the version, I am pulled back to those ugly default colors. So I decided to find the configuration file for LTSpice so I can set my colors once and keep it that way. Forever.
