Ah! Nepotism at its finest.

It all stays in the family... 'till there's no family left at all...

 

Whenever I have an Idea, I usually think deeply on it until I have thoroughly visualized it... then I might do a sketch or two on grid sheet (yes, I still use those) and then I start modeling directly into AutoCAD or ExpressPCB and I start writing code in whatever language is appropriate, using no previous flow chart... although I do cram lots of comments in the code

Ditto.

I usually know exactly how its going to turn out before I start.

 

A 40 year old nuke design? Why not ask your enemy at the time, they probably have the documentation that they stole from you.

Conversation goes like this ... I know you stole it from us. Now that we are friends, can you share it with us?

I guess the standard answer would be: "And what's in it for me?"

 

I guess I'm doomed. I think too much with my hands.

The world needs "hands on" guys to implement what the dreamers dream. Guys like you and me

I get that, but I'm a dreamer too. I just like implementing my own dreams. Designing something and then letting someone else build it, feels like marrying a woman and then letting someone else screw her. It seems the world has made two boxes for us; the brains and the braun, and the world doesn't take kindly to people trying to live in two boxes at once.

The story of my life...

 

I've spent months (edit: sometimes years) developing ideas that, when complete, could be scribbled on one side of a cocktail napkin.

Ditto. There is nothing more satisfying than clearing away chaos and confusion with a simple equation, or model or whatever. Until you can write it on a napkin and explain it to a girl in a noisy bar, you don't really "know" it yet.

Oh, and I think this is a good time to offer this:

 

My PDF reader doesn't like that. (corrupted file)

Can't read it either... maybe our computers are not as good interpreters as some girls in a noisy bar ...

 

Funny, my Samsung tablet read it fine.

 

Hello,

My foxitreader also says "corrupted PDF".

I will try later, when I am home with okular.

Bertus

 

Three different readers on my phone and none of them opened it ....

 

Hello,

I could open it in okular and saved a copy.
I will attach it in the hope others can read it.

Bertus

Removed PDF

Nope... my Adobe Reader XI couldn't open it

 

Hello,


I have created a new PDF , with LibreOffice, from the images in the old PDF, extracted with the GIMP.

Bertus

 

I tried to extract the pages as images for you guys, and I get this:

pdfimages -j Engineers\ make\ good\ husbands.PDF image
Syntax Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Syntax Error: Couldn't read xref table
