Slight change to Sscots Guide address
This is just to update people wrt my old "Scots Guide to Electronics"
website which does contain some audio related material. The Uni has recently made some changes to their website and an 'old' version of the address no longer works. Their used to be two top level URLs, but now only the 'full name' version works which is now. https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_pa...o/electron.htm (an http: URL also works, but responds as https:). The old short-name version now doesn't work. Jim -- Please use the address on the audiomisc page if you wish to email me.

The 'own' both domains but have made this decision for their own reasons.
It seems to be joined to a change to https. I haven't worked for the Uni for years, so have no involvement beyond them continuing to host the pages I built there. They are still in the process making changes. e.g. finding links on other uni pages which the alterations thus far have broken.

I'm so heartily sick of seeing that "common as muck" "Their - There" spelling error[1] that catching sight of this one made such a nice refreshing change that I thought it more than worthy of a congratulatory note. :-) [1] The usual switch between 'their' and 'there' suggests a slapdash attitude in the author's writing 'style'. The 'other way round' in this case suggests a bit of 'over-thinking' on your part suggesting that you were giving the task of writing this missive the thought it deserved ("If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well." sort of thing). -- Johnny B Good |

When I wrote that I'd recently watched a youtube series [SMPS tutorial] by a German guy who calls himself The Post Apocalyptic Inventor and in the fifth part https://youtu.be/a21zh-obKWg he was demonstrating how inductors work and said that in the next part he'd go into them in more depth and explain their role in 'boost' DC - DC converters. He never made the 6th part. I think that I understand enough anyway to suss it out but I quite liked the way he explained some fairly complex maths in an approachable and easy to understand way.
