Just got my order from NKC electronics

It is not the last time i look to buy at NKC electronics

I got:

SOIC to DIP Adapter 28-pin (10-pack)
Item#: soic-to-dip-adapter-28pin-10
$19.99

For "regular" "old" sized SMD component like NE602's

TSSOP to DIP adapter 28-pin 0.65mm pitch (5-pack)
Item#: SMD-0028
$9.99

These I got to play with AD9834's and similar.

Might have to talk to one of the soldering ladies at work to solder them.. not that i can't but it would take way longer and be uglier.

Now off to see how to get BT obex ftp to work. Or some other form for filetransfer.. scp or sftp maybe?

ISO 8601 is a good date notation form

Today i stumbled upon the ISO 8601 date notation format. I have for a while been using the form YYYYMMDD, though the ISO 8601 says YYYY-MM-DD.

This is unifies the notation used in USA (MM/DD/YYYY) and in the rest of the world (DD/MM/YYYY).

Another nice feature is that if the ISO 8601 date notation is used in filenames they are easy to sort chronologic order.
