"Factoids," "Kirt's Cogitations," and
"Tech Topics Smorgasbord"
are all manifestations of my rantings on various subjects relevant (usually) to
the overall RF Cafe theme. All may be accessed on these pages:
Great. A new class of insect has been
discovered - the gladiators - bringing the total number of classes to 31. Prior
to this, the last new insect class, rock crawlers, was added in 1914. All of the
1.2 million identified species of insects on the planet belong to the class of flies,
twisted-wing parasites, scorpionfiles, fleas, moths/butterflies, caddisflies, ants/wasps/bees,
beetles, lacewings/antlions, dobsonflies, snakefiles, book lice, bugs, lice, thrips,
stoneflies, webspinners, angel wings, cockroaches, mantids, termites, gladiators,
earwigs, rock crawlers, walkingsticks, grasshoppers/crickets, dragonflies, mayflies,
silverfish, jumping bristletails, or aphids/cicadas. My question is when will Ortho
have a spray for them?
RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
