Bouncing along on the back of a camel, out of Wadhi Rum we crossed the Damascus to Aqaaba railway. The guide called from over his shoulder that this railway wasn't built when Lawrence... I've seen the film and read the book - what sense is there! ? The Hejaz railway was supposed to go from Damascus...

Thesiger was also big from the Hindu Kush to Sikkhim or so the travellers' tales tell. He was indeed. In Eric Newby's "A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush", Thesiger has a cameo role where he recounts to Newby how he's just operated on a local with an infected eye, enucleating him with a penkn...

...Lenin really got around!!! The sun is shining! I think that for tourism purposes, all famous folk "got around"... Here, it's not so much Lenin as Lawrence.. My, he got about. If you believe half the signs and adverts, he slept or ate in half a dozen countries he never even went to :) O...

Yes, I read it via the link! Who's a clever boy then! Most folk don't think of that :) As it happens, the PC-based s/w that comes with it is also not bad. Not great, you understand, but functional and stable, i.e. good overall. Really a nice bit of kit - started life as a reference design joint eff...

As I'm having to build a table-top-workshop here from scratch (can't denude my workshop back in the UK), I've been trying out some of the nice USB-based tools you can now get. Just received an Analog Discovery 2 unit http://store.digilentinc.com/analog-discovery-2-100msps-usb-oscilloscope-logic-anal...

Spent yesterday in the Somme visiting the Vimy Ridge Canadian memorial and, more specifically, to pay our respects as a family at the Crucifix Corner cemetery at Villers-Bretonneux, where my wife's great uncle, Sydney Clifford Lamplugh, died aged just 19 one hundred years ago today. He was in the RF...
