"When you have finished soldering, you must always remember to unplug the station. Even if you turn it off.
Treat the iron as if powered on at all times."

@purple I'm still learning perl so there's a lot I don't know. Was shocked that I somehow turned a Hello World to "post1", "post2" etc...
I accidentally discovered that's entirely possible to implement an entire blog as a #Perl one-liner
This is a terrible idea so I'm definitely going to keep expending it
FYI The patent for the strain gauge based pointing stick (AKA "TrackPoint" from the Thinkpad series) has now expired
A capacitive sensor input device which includes a movable stud having a top portion for manipulation by a user and a conductive bottom portion is connected to a planar surface, such as a circuit board by means of an elastomeric, adhesive connector. A plurality of sensors are disposed on the planar surface. The respective capacitances between the conductive bottom portion and respective ones of the sensors are used as input to another electronic device, such as a computer, set top box or gaming device. As the capacitances change according to user manipulation of the movable stud elements of the user interface are moved correspondingly.
