Embedded Video Test

Content I’ve been too lazy to tag with something more appropriate.
//MathJax Test
//Apparently the mathjax CDN is closing at the end of April.
https://www.mathjax.org/cdn-shutting-down/
Our blog has a MathJax plugin that uses this CDN, so we will be affected (if anyone uses it).
This is a test to see if I can use it!
[mathjax]
Simple shortcode version [latex]E=mc^2[/latex]
Native format $$E=mc^2$$
Not getting far \(x^2\).
Ah ha, need to select not default from the plugin configuration.
$$
f(x)=x^2 = 4
\newline
\rightarrow x=2
$$
Update: Well it’s May now, and the above sort of still works. Not sure the last multiline thing ever did.
Unicode
//Really just so I remember what works for me. There are plenty of pages Google will find you, and mostly their suggestions work ie
CTRL-SHIFT-u <followed by hex code of the char you want and RETURN>
For most X applications, eg pidgin, browsers, etc that works, but not emacs or the command line.
For emacs CTRL-X 8 RETURN <then hex code> RETURN
Embedded video test
//Just seeing this this work. I just cut and paste the <video> markup from http://www.nutshell-videos.ed.ac.uk/barbara-webb-insect-robots/ into the “text” editor (rather than “Visual”) of WordPress.
I had to adjust the width to get it to fit in my odd, fixed width theme.
Alternatively from the visual editor I can do “Add Media” and select “Insert from URL” and then paste in the URL to the video, in this case http://podcast.is.ed.ac.uk:8080/Podcasts/cseresearch/webm/inf-barbara-webb.webm, and then I get the following:

//Plugin reminder
//This is really just a reminder that we’ve added a couple of plugins to blog.inf. Comment control and anti-spam. And that we need to do a proper blog post on the systems pages to tell people about them.

This is a test post from my iFriend account
//iFriends can’t create new blogs, but they can be given permission to existing blogs.
Comments renabled, with anti-spam plugin also enabled.
PCB Reference Designation
//While trying to fix my daughter’s Nintendo DS (which wasn’t a complete success, I managed to replace the slot1, it powers up and plays games, but now won’t charge 🙁 ). I wanted to know what component “F1” may be. While Googling I came across a cached web page from pcbwizards.com which was down, but seems back now. So this useful info doesn’t get lost, I’m reposting the cached info here.
| Reference Designation – Reference Designations are letter and number codes assigned to items that are part of an assembly. This ‘shorthand’ code allows components in a printed circuit board to be found easily while working on a board assembly or locating them and their complete descriptions in a Bill of Material or parts list.
Standard Reference Designations for Electrical Equipment can be found published in ANSI Y32.2 1975/IEEE STD 315. Below is a partial list of the reference designations used in electronics. |
