A bench power supply is an essential tool for all electronics hobbyists. Building one is the right of passage for every electrical engineer. My BCIT program included a 4-week course ELEX 1102: Electronics Fabrication Tools and Techniques, in which we built a very basic bench power supply.

This is my Grade 12 Computer Science project that I created in 2015, named after the original PONG game released by Atari in 1972. It is built using C++ and uses the BGI library from Borland Inc. The executable can run natively on DOS only. It is running on this website using js-dos (kudos to @caiiiycuk for their awesome project).

One day I came across Ben Eater’s YouTube Channel, the video in my recommendations was about his project, the 6502 microprocessor-based breadboard computer. I found he has a whole video series about the same where he walks us through building the computer, connecting an LCD to it, and interfacing using PS/2 and USB. The 6502 processor from MOS Technology found its way into popular video game consoles and personal computers like Atari 8-bit family, Apple II, NES, Commodore 64, etc. I was amazed, this was my introduction to his channel.

I worked at Squirrel Systems for 3+ years. We use LogMeIn for remote connections and have a SurveyMonkey script that launches a CSAT survey every time a remote session is disconnected. CSAT is short for customer satisfaction score. It is a metric that acts as a key performance indicator for customer service and product quality.
