Hi,

This looks like just a push for another website to me. The only other post by said user at time of this writing reads the same it links to same site with information that is actually less informative than the posts before it.
But i wont judge anyone too harshly just yet giving them time to contribute here first. It could be they just like that site :)
For the little I browsed, he seems to be a somewhat prolific author there. I still prefer Stephen KIng.

Like i said though, give it more time.

Our professor of thermodynamics at the naval school threatened us with arrest in a dungeon (literally) if we did not track the units along the calculations. Good habit!!

An additional requirement was to work always with pencil (coincident with the work on the bridge on the navigation chart). Regarding this last, for more than 28 years now, I still maintain that habit, throughout my almost 50 notebooks used in my daily work).

Yes. The same rule applies to a lot of other things. I took a (computer) mouse apart the other day to repair it. I broke my own rule of not noting or photographing how I did it. Two days later when the parts (micro-switches) arrived, I'd forgotten the order of reassembly (I did get it to work in the end, but the time wasted exceeded the time to write it all down, plus have a record for the future)
The same applies with coding or formulae in spreadsheets. You can get into mental run with lines of code, then try working out what you did 6-months later. Either //COMMENT//COMMENT all the way, or save a version at every significant change.
Writing your calculations in the margin also weeded out the cheats.
