  1. TIL: RJ11 (old telephone cord) cables will plug into RJ45 (ethernet) plugs and connect the middle 4 lines. This is extremely useful in case you want to wire up old phone lines and you happen to have ethernet-oriented parts that are plentiful, cheap, and still manufactured.

    Totally unrelated: have any fellow weirdos wired up an analog (POTS) phone system in their house, to use for local* calls?

    * room to room

  6. Today I went to the tech market. Unfortunately for me, they don't sell RJ11==USB adaptor anymore. :neocat_sob:

  10. The #46021a HP keyboard with its #HIL interface and #SDL type a connectors has arrived! Definitely needs some cleaning.

    Now to contemplate butchering an #RJ11 till it fits the Type a SDL plug for 40 hours or to just buy the SDL plugs for 40 euros.

    Buying the SDL plugs is only marginally better as I will have to manually force the crimps down on the connector.

  28. Yay - pay off. Some tools you grudgingly buy, unsure they'll get much use beyond a current project. A cpl of years ago I grudginly bought a proper crimping tool (abandoned the ol' needle-nose and screwdriver-blade technique, and associated injuries).

    Now wiring VoIP #RJ11 jacks I noted the wire colours in one weren't consistent, and then noted the contacts were dead too. The crimping tool made a fiddly job just a few seconds work. Glad to have had the tool on hand! Pay off!
