Printed Circuit Board PWB PCB Gerber Plot Viewers
- Tried GC Prevue … did not work well. I had to look at layers separately.
- GerbV worked well. It is open source and available on sourceforge

Numeric Example of the Shor Algorithm
Beforehand we keep in mind the solution and watch the method unfold. See Chapter 10 of the book: Algorithms for greater detail.

LT SPICE
I used it a lot to pre process ideas for later incorporation to designs done on Cadence.

Theoretic markup of event progression of the crisis in Europe
8-25-2025 – boy was I right. following entry left unedited:
- Extend Pretend until trust is corroded > bottom drops out > years required to reestablish trust….
Simple really. So if they did the right thing now they would be ahead by that much trust. But what to politicians know about that? Now you can see your fate clearly. It is much clearer to see the cycle from trust to distrust.

Poor Henrietta Lacks. ( aka HeLa ).
A fascinating tale of cancer research gone wrong. The story, dating back to the 1950s, of the search for a cure for cancer and the impact of Henrietta Lacks, the "woman who will never die" because her cancer cells never stopped reproducing.

Populate an Excel xlsx xls spread sheet with Apache POI Library
Microsoft purposefully obfuscates their code. If you want to populate a .xls or .xlsx you need some help. The Apache POI project is exactly what you need.
Libraries required include
- poi
- poi-ooxml
- poi-ooxml-schemas
- xbean
- dom4j
This project takes Input.xlsx and writes a value of 13 to a cell and outputs the file as Output.xlsx
