    weekly synopsis/summary methods?

    HCBFlash - totally agree, I think the moral of this story (thread) is find what works for you and roll with it, faults and all. Seems like all the responses have their +/- sides. We've been using GoogleCalendar for a few years now for our group activities calendar but with more of our work...

    weekly synopsis/summary methods?

    Lotus Agenda and 1-2-3, WordPerfect - next we'll be advocating bringing back slide rules ;-) I recall going to the Magellan launch, that worked pretty well for me til my supervisor found out it worked well and dis-allowed its use. Since we were developing our own contact and scheduling...

    weekly synopsis/summary methods?

    thanks for the suggestions all. I guess its time to take another look at Outlook, it got so much bad press for so many years (security vulnerabilities I believe) that I became a THunderbird adherent ever since. Tbird has a 'task pane' capability but I shy away from platform or program specific...

    weekly synopsis/summary methods?

    anyone else try to keep weekly work summaries (for personal as well as project activity)? Since graduating college I never kicked the habit of using our university academic planner (essentially a truncated DayTimer) but it tends to get crowded with personal as well as work notes, meeting times...

    Calories into Watts

    great thread! Since there seems to be some interest as to power in the cycling realm this article gives some pretty interesting data to chew on. I didnt see any mention of how the power data was collected (strain gauges in the cranks, pedals or rear hub are common but inferred power from heart...

    A postscript and a lesson from 30 years ago...

    I was just about to post that same link and saw this thread - what a terribly sad story. I cannot imagine the feeling of helplessness Ebeling must have gone thru. Those photos are the first I've ever seen of the part in question. I wouldn't pass judgement without seeing the entire assembly but...

    Inquiry regarding waterproof electronic connector to use on a boat

    Teledyne Impulse and SubConn-McArtney are the go-to for oceanographic instrumentation. They make a wide variety of wet pluggable, wet-mateable and dryside connectors. Their online catalogs will give you a pretty good overview of what they offer and whether this will suit your purpose. Also...

    How to put Visible Labels on 3D parts in solidworks

    if you use the Decal route you need to toggle the View option ON. [View]->[Hide/Show]->[Decals] -s

    The Arch Enemy of Electrical Connections.... What do you suggest?

    IMO all of the above may help (hopefully [dazed]) but if you want to completely dis-allow entry of water into your electical path you might take a look at Impulse and/or Seacon underwater penetrators Impulse Seacon I've deployed hundreds of surface and subsurface applications using their...

    NAVSEA PRO-020 specification

    yup, just what i was hoping to avoid. I guess I've put it off long enough, time to cowboy up!

    NAVSEA PRO-020 specification

    hi - I'm working on a cabling spec that we'd like to have comply with NAVSEA spec. I'm completely unfamiliar with this spec (we are university based research lab.) Looks like the quick-n-dirty on PRO-020 is just facility which is NAVSEA approved for fab of neoprene and/or polyurethane jacketed...

    Pressure Test Lab

    This facility tests a lot of ocean-going gear for marine pressure cases (Sontek, RDI, WHOI). They're in SoCal (San Diego) http://hydraulicslab.ucsd.edu/Facilities.htmlhttp://hydraulicslab.ucsd.edu/Facilities.html

    Subsea stainless options

    Coming from a practical perspective we use 316 a lot. Easily obtained, easy to fabricate with. Cost aside, crevice corrosion is the biggest problem we have with this material but we'll usually over-engineer any structure to the point where redox doesn't cost us a mooring or a mount system. For...
