The Little Black Bear was kidnapped/stolen. This is his new companion* – it is a work in progress; rolling frame with frustratingly few parts missing right now. The season is about to end, but as Uncle Dugs said: “We’re getting there!. * Project 7005 aka Little Golden Puma.

Theory/Practice
The Shimano CB-E110 (minus the Over Lock Nut) disassembled. It needs cleaning, unfortunately one crucial component is damaged: 12 321 9022 Ball Retainer A (1/4″). But, all in all it looks to be in good mechanical condition and salvageable. Please see: Theory/Practice II and The Mechanic for theory and reference.

Lost In Translation/The Really Hard Ones
Assembly. Machine code. As close as you’ll ever get to a binary machine. Can you get closer? Maybe Fortran? I am an analyst, not and nor will ever be a programmer… made it to the moon and back.
Machine
I just remembered a long-forgotten myth, a mystical story about an equally mythical machine called the “Box”. Supposedly it was randomly generating “Acid” noises (Roland 101, 303 and 808 sounds), opaque and shifting colours at the same time; formed as a cube; in the late 80’s.

Serious breaks and the pretencious counterpart, it’s as ridiculus as it is hilarious; Mon Dieu! Mais ou est le Maitre d’hôtel? Location? It is the latest addition to Liljeholmskajen situated in the fair town of Stockholm, Sweden. D’où Je Viens 1 – 27. The real ones? D + R of course…
In The Socket
It is yet another discarded artefact. Please see: (Not) On The Wall. I created a new AP and it is in perfect working order, now factory reset and configured accordingly. SSID? It’s called MEDINA-G2 or -G5 depending on what wireless standard you are using. No, you may not know the pass. Is the name co-incidental?… Continue reading In The Socket
