Draining Batteries to Keep Them Conditioned
ByHenry Neufeld October 7, 2016

Back in my earlier days in electronics, as the glaciers receded, the NiCad battery was a new, great, and often expensive thing. We were taught to frequently let the battery drain and then recharge, as the cycle helped condition the battery. I get asked this question frequently regarding modern cell-phone batteries, and I admit my…

ByHenry Neufeld June 27, 2008

FORTRAN History
ByHenry Neufeld September 20, 2021September 20, 2021

From the folks at smartermsp.com, we have some brief history of #FORTRAN (#TECHTIMEWARP). I wanted to add my humor note, as I was working with computers while FORTRAN was still fairly commonly used.
