CAN Bus Project
I mentioned Project Hugo in the site update a while back and an idea I’ve been toying with is implementing a CAN bus for my 22 year old car, a Mini Thirty. I say I’ve been toying with the idea, one of my friends at the pub starting talking about the advantages of CAN bus […]
Connecting to Office365 Using PowerShell
My first post on the topic of Office365 regards a simple task, connecting to the Office365 portal using PowerShell. First of all the assumptions; You have an Office365 account and you have PowerShell installed. Follow the instructions at the this page and install both the single sign-on add in and the PowerShell command-lets. After that you can connect […]
A New Chapter
I’ve recently moved teams at work from SQL Developer Support to Office365, Exchange Online specifically. As I’ll be learning new skills as I go I’ll be blogging my progress, as much as a reference for myself as anyone else who may find my mistakes useful to learn from. The move to Exchange was a slightly […]
.Net Gadgeteer Pomodoro Timer
I’ve been looking into methods of time management that may help me be more productive, my biggest issue is getting distracted by shiny things, interesting articles or the latest topic of intense debate amongst my friends on Facebook. Someone suggested I take a look at something called Pomodoro, the simple premise is you concentrate on […]
.NET Gadgeteer In Space!
The title is a little misleading, it isn’t quite space but damn close! Got your attention though I’ll bet. 😉 A few weeks ago I gave a presentation to my peers in the UK Support organisation at Microsoft and along with the digital camera “hello world” project that is fairly standard for Gadgeteer I came […]

The little projects involve putting up shelves and […]

RepRap Prusa Mendel Build
In a change to our scheduled broadcast (ie. I’m having a few issues with the desk build) I’ve decided to press my coffee table into service and crack on with the build for my 3d printer. I’m building a RepRap Prusa Mendel with parts purchased off eBay, so far I’ve purchased everything but the components […]
Desk Build, Part 2
Only a brief update as bad light stopped play this eve but I’ve marked out the shelves for cutting and thought I’d share a quick tip. The plan is to have four shelves at the top of the unit with the folding desktop attached to a slimmer shelve at the bottom. This will allow the […]
Desk Build, Part 1
This weekend I made a start on the desk build, I’ve a rough plan drawn out which I’ll post this week after I scan it in at work. The plan isn’t something for you to follow to the letter but should give you a few ideas of how to come up with specifications for your […]
