Drawer slides for craftsman box – The Garage Journal Board

Filed under: Automotive,Links,To Buy — Landis V @ 7:39 am

During our move to the new house, about three years ago, I managed to misplace the set of spring clips that hold the drawers in my old Craftsman toolchest.  I was disgusted by the thought of paying $4 each for replacements, as it would quickly exceed the value of the chest at two per drawer.  It was nice to run across this forum link and see that Waterloo manufactures a suitable replacement for less than half the cost.  I’ll be calling them when I get an opportunity.

I’m still going to be upset with myself when I find the plastic bag with the ten originals.

After making my mead this past weekend, I still have around 12lbs of honey left.  I ran across this recipe in the past and thought I had bookmarked it; I hadn’t.  Doing so now, as this seems like another interesting possibility to try out with my remaining honey.

Nice, functional root page for the US Cellular (USCC) Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-R970.  Haven’t checked into it much to see what flags it sets, but the instructions seem to work well, and ChainFire has been around long enough I consider them fairly reputable.

Aruba wireless data mining whitepaper

Recently got an email about Meraki’s product, specifically highlighting their analytics capabilities.  I’m not much of a Meraki fan myself, too “cloudy” for my tastes; I’m still very much a believer in controlling your own infrastructure.  I didn’t dig into the analytics functionality as I don’t have  a need at this point, and I’d be very surprised to hear any wireless infrastructure vendor in business today say that they couldn’t do behavior/spatial analytics.  I did a quick search on Aruba’s capabilities in that regard just as a quick confirmation and ran across the linked whitepaper.

It did get me thinking/wondering about whether there’s any cohesive effort for similar analytics in the open source space.  I’m sure it would be quite do-able given the time and resources.  I guess that’s probably the key difference between sales/marketing and tech – the money is where somebody “needs it now”, but the depth of understanding and capability come in when you have the opportunity to build it yourself and really get familiar with the details.
