It is a very strong connection type, very accurate and even can solve some harmonic issues (which most modular systems can just by nature of connections). CAPTO.Ĭapto is still licensed by Sandvik but there are plenty of licensed builders including: Walter and Seco (of course), Rego-Fix, BIG (Kaiser, Daishowa), Kennametal, Ingersoll, Nikken, Schunk. I'm sure a lot of you have seen videos I've posted over the years and one thing is evident. Other modular systems just don't compare. Using C8 and even C6 tools on a 50 taper machining centre, the 50 taper is the weakest link.Ĭapto has saved my ass numerous times and has very much been a standard for my tooling selection over more years than I can count. To think that that multi-piece bar, taking that cut, is connected to the turret with a coupling that is barely two inches long, is absolutely amazing to my mind. The boring bar is a C6 bar with a SL coupling head and a C6 extension in a C6 (cam operated draw bar) block mounted on the OD of the turret. It's drilled 225mm deep with a 100mm udrill, then bored out to 240mm for the same depth. I have one production job that I run pretty regularly from 16" 4145H bar. It's useful in a machining centre, by way of allowing you to build a tool tailored for the job at hand with excellent concentricity and rigidity.īut where it really shines is in a lathe, for the reasons that ewlsey gave above, but also for the sheer rigidity (have I used that word enough yet?) it provides. As someone who runs more capto tools than not, in all our machines, here's my take on it.Ĭapto's strengths are rigidity, accuracy, repeatability and torque transmission. Well, Maxthon is cool, and, at times, very useful, but I'm still not using it as my main web browser, and, in fact, only using it once in maybe a few months or so. So I don't really need to keep it up to date all the time, but I would rather prefer to update it from time to time manually when I actually need that.Īt the same time, I'm really limited in free hard disk space, and I can't expand it or free a significant amount of disk space right now - sometimes it's only about 30 Mb free or so on my hard drive - and Maxthon keeps popping up almost every few minutes asking for an automatic update, annoying me with these messages and eating the last megabytes on my hard disk in attempts of downloading and installing those updates that I don't even really need at the moment. Maxthon is a new technology browser that provides technical support for blockchain apps and makes it easier for users. One browser that has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation is Maxthon, and with the release of its 7.0 beta version, it’s no different. Like Opera, Maxthon includes a customizable left button rail for notes, favorites, RSS feeds, and so forth. Maxthon ditched its cloud storage ambitions and is now just a regular browser. And it gets really annoying and frustrating that I can't stop that and disable the automatic update - not to mention that the auto-update process takes part of my already far from modern laptop's hardware resources and internet traffic. Maxthon Browsers: Web and Mobile How-TosAbout MaxthonMaxthon is a. Maxthon kernel is more powerful, it can be compatible with Chrome addons library and you can enjoy massive extensions.

There's a lot of those in the lake but the Deeper didn't pick any large(?) fish up. I understand the Deeper is designed by Americans and they have different reference points. My question is this: What defines the size? Is it length, weight or is it relative? In my mind a roach is small, a decent sized skimmer is medium and anything over that is large. So far I have located only fish classed as medium and small. Both times I set it to recognise all fish sizes (large, medium an small). I've since taken it down the canal and a local lake for a couple of trial runs. Last week I took the plunge and finally bought a Deeper and went for the Chirp model (in for a penny in for a pound and all that). I would take the fish finder aspect of the deeper with a pinch of salt Longer obviously indicates a larger fish.I've heard they detect the swim bladders rather than fish itself if that makes sense! There are some decent articles on the deeper site and a few YouTube videos explaining it in more detail. I used one for a few months and then offloaded it, not for me unfortunately.įrom using a deeper pro, if you turn the fish finder icon off and then look for want of a better term, streaks and arcs, these are a better indication of fish size rather than the icons. I agree, okay for showing features and depths of fish for zigging etc but other than that. Also it's a bit tough to cast them further than 60m. After all I've still got to put a lead down there to have a better idea what I'm fishing on. The more I think about it the less likely the Deeper will actually change my fishing. I had actually bought the Deeper to speed up the marking process and that's what I'll solely be using it for. So if you see a large icon it likely means it's a big fish but you can never be sure". As you know different species have different air bladder sizes and they also vary depending on fish depth. We see fish by their air bladders (the rest of the body is invisible as it's the same density as water more or less) and it's the air that gives the sonar returns. It's impossible to put this in size categories. "Regarding fish size, different icons represent weaker or stronger reflections. I emailed Deeper and (in brief) this is what they say: It’s usually an arc as fish swim in and out of the sonar cone. Bigger fish will show a much thicker arc. A long arc simply means the fish was in the sonar cone longer. There’s a good section on interpreting the raw data rather than fish icons. Great for mapping a water, but that's where their use ends IMHO. Drives you potty when there's one of those on the water in a swim near you. The resolution from these deeper things is crap anyway - just compare it to the Garmin unit in my boat - like comparing a F1 car to Ford Capri Also good to see them getting banned on some waters - as many people are casting them in and out all day long in the hope it might help them catch a carp. I've had many different sonar devices in my boats over the years and can assure you, the best way to identify, rationalise fish and their size is turn any kind of fish ID, OFF. I have the chirp but turn off the fish finder and just use it for everything else like feature/ depth and temperature it’s very good for that but tbh I don’t use any fish finders on any device I have got I just use mine to map swims and try to rely on visual cues for fish whereabouts. I have a chirp+ and agree, the fish finder can be incredibly misleading especially if the sensitivity is not tuned correctly, turn the fish icons off and look for arches and and swirls. It is super entertaining and I’m kind of addicted. Then this game would have my full-throated endorsement of a true 5 star game without the caveat in the title. I’m sure enough money is being made by them without having to nickel and dime loyal players here and there. I wish the developers would address this bug. Over time, those small rip offs add up, you know? And the overall effect is….irritating, to say the least. And as there’s no way to recoup that particular game or gauntlet, it just kind of feels like a rip off, tiny though it is. This isn’t a huge issue overall, but it does mean I end up forfeiting a gauntlet when I may not have actually lost, and I also then don’t receive whatever prize I would have received for that game’s win. And what ends up happening then is I lose the gauntlet required to play that game, and also the satisfaction of knowing whether or not I was actually going to win or not. Every so often (but often enough that this is really becoming an issue), right in the middle of the game, the app just shuts down and kicks me off of the platform.

This is a movie necessary to think a little bit about what's behind the clothing industry, what we don't see/don't want to see, and how we should care about it because we should care about other humans and the world we live in.

It is, as said above, a movie that doesn't hide its agenda. The movie unashamedly points to out-of-control consumerist capitalist society as the big reason behind what is happening, with people just buying for the sake of it, and society sending constant messages about the need of buying and changing clothes constantly. It tells the story of many of the workers, and also owners of industries, and brings home many points, from how the workers labor is made cheap, or how they have to work in horrible environments, to the illnesses people get because of the way the industry works or the consequences for the environment.

And then Mac apps stopped selling so fast and we didn't' have money to continue. Mutahhir and I worked mostly on FoldingText. By this time there were 4 of us working at Hog Bay Software. FoldingText become a good markdown editor, but the Markdown focus clouded the bigger goal for me.ħ. It added a lot of complexity (keeping markdown parsed into runtime outliner model) and made most people think of FoldingText mostly as a markdown editor. Along the way I decided to use Markdown as the plain text format that would define the underlying outline structure. FoldingText was my attempt to generalize the outline mode/plain text UI into a platform that other's could extend. But TaskPaper's underlying outliner model with a text UI seemed like it would be good a many other things. I wanted it to stay "Plain text todo lists". I didn't want to keep bolting features onto TaskPaper. After a few years the end result is that TaskPaper is an outliner data model presented/edited through a plain text editor.Ħ. But over time I wanted a better solution for handling large complex todo lists and so started building in outlining and filtering into the app. The original versions were just a little syntax highliting built into TextEdit. I created TaskPaper as a simple text alternative to OmniFocus. Lots of chrome surrounding a simple list of tasks. At the time 2005/2006 "Getting Things Done" apps were becoming popular, but they were pretty complicated. Many people saw WriteRoom as a MS Word alternative, even though it was much, much, simpler.ĥ. This lead me to the conclusion that there's a market and need for simple text based alternatives to "major" apps. so yeah for that! :) This quickly sold better then my notebook program which had at that point I'd put years of work into.Ĥ. It originated the term "Distraction free writing". that it could zoom into a nice fullscreen mode. WriteRoom was a very basic text editor with one feature. Was a popular feature, but Ulysses was a big app with lots of other features that I didn't really want. Around this time added "full screen mode" to their app. After a few years I was making my living selling this app, but I would still tend to go back to keeping my notes on desktop in TextEdit.ģ. Database of text files with a full text index for searching. Similar concept to Evernote (but a few years before I think). I gave up on ZUI for notes and decided instead to build Hog Bay Notebook, a Mac app for notes. Great fun but I always ended up using plain text files on my desktop instead of fancy ZUI app.Ģ. I liked to take notes and tried/build various ZUI notes apps. For me this was a super cool project to work on. Out of college I got to work on the Jazz ZUI (Zooming User Interface) toolkit and then build it's successor Piccolo. I see a number of FoldingText history questions. Mutahhir has since taken the project over while I continue to work on TaskPaper and WriteRoom. I am original designer/creator of FoldingText. If you really find that you can't concentrate on your writing then WriteRoom offers a strangely seductive and peaceful writing environment.Hi, this is Jesse. There are, however, none of the bells and whistles you get in a word processor such as Microsoft Word, including no automatically generated table of contents, borders, or that ridiculous paper clip that dances up and down in the corner of your screen. WriteRoom also features a few essential tools such as a word count and auto save function You however change these colors to something of your own liking using an eyedrop tool.Īlthough WriteRoom claims to be thin on options, there is actually a whole host of different tweaks and adjustments you can make including changing the font, scroll options, scaling, and spell checking. The default appearance is green text on a black background reminding me of how the BBC Micros or Amstrads used to look. Don't come looking for fancy features though - WriteRoom is a bare-bones word processor that puts the importance of writing to the fore. The following year, Notorious BIG shared an eerily similar fate after he was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting. Six days later, 2Pac died from his injuries. Leaving a Mike Tyson fight in Las Vegas, on September 7, 1996, a car carrying 2Pac and Suge Knight was peppered with bullets. The simmering feud which had been building between Death Row and Bad Boy ended tragically. An astonishing double-album (hip-hop’s first) tour de force, All Eyez On Me confirmed 2Pac’s status as one of the genre’s most singular voices as well as one of its most successful, again hitting No.1, and shifting 566,000 copies in its first week. Released in 1995, while the rapper was still in prison, Me Against The World reached No.1 on the Billboard charts, while the following year he released All Eyez On Me, his first album for Death Row. Suge Knight, who would bail 2Pac out of prison later that year before signing the rapper to Death Row, joined the fray when he publicly insulted Sean Combs on stage at The Source Awards.ĢPac’s law-breaking notoriety hadn’t done his career any harm, and by the middle of the decade he was not only one of 90s hip-hop’s biggest stars, but one of the most bankable acts in music. While in prison, he later accused Sean Combs and former friend Notorious BIG, among others, of being behind the shooting. In 1995, one of LA’s biggest stars, 2Pac, was shot by a pair of muggers while in New York, the day before being found guilty of sexual assault. The rivalry between the two coasts’ hip-hop scenes was, however, far from healthy. Released on Sean Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment label, that album’s hit singles “Juicy,” “Big Poppa” and “One More Chance” (which matched Michael Jackson’s “Scream” for the highest-ever debut on the pop charts), led to the album shifting over four million units, turning Biggie into a major star. The following year was just as strong for local talent, with Nas releasing his monumental debut, Illmatic, and Notorious BIG issuing his first, hugely successful, solo venture, Ready To Die. 1993 saw the release of A Tribe Called Quest’s incandescent third album, Midnight Marauders, and the arrival of Wu-Tang Clan, whose groundbreaking debut album, Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, heralded a new era for gritty East Coast hip-hop. However, while New York was struggling to compete commercially, its scene was far from stagnant. With Death Row Records releasing a succession of hugely successful G-Funk records by artists such as Tha Dogg Pound ( Dogg Food) and Snoop Dogg (whose 1993 debut album, Doggystyle, entered the Billboard charts at No.1), 90s hip-hop saw the West Coast usurp its Eastern counterpart as the dominant force in rap music, its artists becoming huge stars and establishing themselves as part of the mainstream. His revolutionary production style – christened G-Funk – was a canny mix of deep rolling bass, P-Funk-indebted grooves, and soulful vocals that smoothed the jagged edges of gangsta rap into a more accessible format which radio stations could get behind. To make matters worse, Gilbert O’Sullivan’s successful court case against Biz Markie, in 1991 (he’d used a sample of O’Sullivan’s “Alone Again (Naturally)” without consent), threatened to change the very way the art form was constructed no longer could producers use multiple samples, for fear of litigation.įorming Death Row Records with Suge Knight and The DOC, Dre used the fledgling imprint to issue his stratospherically popular debut album, The Chronic, at the tail-end of 1992. The success of gangsta rap groups such as Los Angeles natives NWA, whose 1988 debut album, Straight Outta Compton, detailed street violence in an uncompromising and explicit style, led to many radio stations pulling effective boycotts against hip-hop’s more aggressive artists. Yet, at the dawn of the 90s, hip-hop faced something of a crisis. Listen to the best 90s hip-hop on Spotify. The huge hits of 90s hip-hop put the genre firmly at the top of the heap – a lofty position from which it’s never looked back. For the first time, its artists became superstars in their own right. Hip-hop firmly established itself as both a cultural and commercially viable force in the 1980s, but it was still primarily an underground concern. |
