I have been building some small electronics projects based on the 74HC/LS series of Integrated circuits. In essence these are small boards with a 14 pin IC holder soldered on, along with header pins of different colours for +V, GND, Input and outputs.
so far I have built two based on the 74HC00 Quad 2 input NAND gate and one based on the 74HC08 Quad 2 input AND gate. So far they work really well. I am hoping that these can be both powered by and used via a Raspberry Pi or Arduino. The intention is to build some boards up for use in teaching about digital logic.

I am setting up a new blog, to replace my existing [Wordpress blog] (http://www.zleap.net).
My current website / blog is hosted by a friend, who is moving and shutting down his web hosting operation(s). I am therefore using this as an opportunity to refresh my blogging activity and start again using what I would hope is a more efficient system.
I did look at Wordpress but this is very cumbersome and keeps e-mailing me regarding new features etc. I don't need anything special or spectacular.
What has attracted me to write freely is the fact it is federated. But this is built in with no need to install a word press plugin for activitypub.
I also like the look of the formatting options, as both Markdown and MathJax are supported. Which will make using LaTeX a lot easier within posts.
I will post more later. I need to set up a repository for pictures, so that I can include them in my blog.
