  • Org chart with a twist

    Org chart with a twist

    A customer really liked Microsoft’s Org chart web part in SharePoint. However, they needed to be able to display data from the manager-field as well as a custom field for line-manager combined in a single view.

  • Replacing shitloads of springs – ARP Odyssey

    The keybed sensors needed new springs (and some cleaning). Replacing over 100 springs takes time. I used leftover springs from a Wersi organ kit which I use for spare parts. Now the keybed feels lile it is brand new. No more double triggering, and you can now finally play two notes at the same time.…
