A paper microscope?
Part of the office group were on a roadtrip, yesterday. They dragged home a relic from the past. An old server, with a genuine P3 and some SCSI drives. Still had the old server name (from our system) on a stuck on label. And that “Was that a jet engine?” fan noise when you hit the power switch. Ahh! The good old days.
For the life of me, I don’t know why they didn’t find a recycle site on the way home.
Received an email that improved my week: our preliminary floor plan ideas have passed inspection with the house factory. Not that we’re going to be doing much about it for the next couple of months, but it sets things up. In fact, I then went on the web to find out about details like “How wide should a doorway be for accessibility?” and “How many cfm of propane are needed for a backup generator. After all, it’s all about the details.
There’s a document circulating in the office, prepared in Google Docs. We’ve determined that IE8 chokes on it. Now we’re discovering how many workstations aren’t getting software updates pushed properly, at night. Let the truth be known. It’s not faster to go back and check and then do, compared to the old way, where I just “did”. Life isn’t always eased through technology, soft or hard.
Someone has invented a paper microscope. Think origami. Or 3D glasses. I read the associated PDF, and checked out the pics. Still don’t know how to make one. Maybe the inventor will offer a Paper ‘Scope for Dummies version.
