With all the talk about the difficulty of dealing with the digest, I threw together a little awk script that will reformat the digest message into a format compatible with most Unix MUAs. I tested it

Small items can also be airmailed. This isn't exactly cheap sometimes, but it's not that bad either and it is cheaper than air freight. I had a drive shaft airmailed out once. Even with a 70 pound (o

Duty on car parts imported from the UK into the US is 3.5%, I think. Entire cars are 2.5% (I have an appeal going on this point on my jag body now; Customs thinks it was parts, I say it was a car :-)

Haha, seeing Kevin Burtch's description of pulling his TR7 head reminded me of pulling my Stag head (makes sense, the Stag had the equivalent of 2 TR7 engines glued together). I had the misfortune to

Anyone going to be at USENIX next month? If so, maybe we can arrange a BOF at one of the local brew pubs :-) BTW, the Stag engine is a 3.5 litre. Reports are that, once sorted out (and the foundry sl

Whoops, did I say it was a 3.5L? Must have been wishful thinking. I think the heads are pretty close to mirrors, not that that really means anything :-) Mine are sitting on a bench right now waiting

With the traffic on MIG welding recently, I thought I'd add my experience. After a lot of thought, and some trepidation, I bought a 175 amp MIG from Harbor Freight the other year (that's one way to g

I found my AGA guide to welding equipment. There are a couple of useful tables and rules of thumb that I'd thought I'd send out. Use 1 amp for every thousandth of an inch plate thickness up to 200 am

This is probably local, so I apologize in advance for the wide distribution. Cleaning out my garage, I came across a case of 50W Kendal I want to get rid of. It's free to anyone who wants to come by

Rhetorical question of the day: Why is it that every time I have a teensy little repair on my TR8, the car gets laid up for weeks? The thermostat failed (closed) in my '8 about a week and a half ago.

Be sure to replace the flex hoses as well. When they get old, sometimes they can get plugged and act as one-way valves. I had this happen to me on a Volvo and, more recently, on my TR8. The Volvo di

If you take just the cylinder (it's lighter and you can put it in your pocket :-), it gets even easier. A good locksmith can put a keyblank in, look at the wafer/pin heights and cut the key directly
