USB Repair part 2


I Did it!

I re-soldered the connections to my broken USB flash drive. Would you believe it, it worked. I used a very thin solder

USB Repair part 1

Great!! What a klutz I am. I bumped into my USB jump drive today. When i did that, the connector bent to a 45 degree angle (Wonderful). With the connector bent the pins that connect the USB connector to the flash board have bent and separated from the flash board. I am going to try and re-soldering the connections long enough to see if i can get the data off the drive. I will try this tonight.

I will post more on this later (with pics) about how I fix this.

What's New in nbPython Milestone 3

What i am trying to do with our development is release a milestone about every two or three weeks. With that in mind i am proud to release milestone 3 of nbPython. The release can be downloaded from the nbpython site(https://nbpython.dev.java.net). There are a couple of great new features in this release.

The first of the new features is execution of a python script. In the project window, If you right click on a python script one of the options is run. Select this option and it will be run in the output window at the bottom. Also if you have the script already open in the editor, On the menu bar select run then run python script.

The second new feature is being able to set Python interpreter in the options panel. To access the options panel, select Tools then Options from the menu bar. Once the menu bar is displayed go to nbPython button on the top. Now the nbPython options are displayed. You can set the python interpreter to your favorite python runtime. If you are using CPython then check off the native option below the interpreter command. Click ok to accept the changes
That's it for this release.
Code you later,
Alley
