Do uPs have preferred pronouns?

I do know that MISO and MOSI are now deprecated.

I’ve been deprecating miso for years and years. If it don’t have dead
animal in it, it ain’t dinner.

So I can't take you and your brat to Acme. Oysters are alive when you
eat them.

Sounds lovely, as long as they have something other than fishy stuff. I’m a
bit of a statistical outlier—I’m from Vancouver, don’t ski, and hate
seafood.

Must be your search history polluting the cache then.

Except that done right, it's the best thing you've ever put in your
mouth. My Cajun ex-wife did it right.

How about Portugese? We recently discovered a fabulous place near our
house, Uma Casa. Everything has been great, including, improbably, the
burger. It's in the bit of Church street where Sister Act was filmed.

And there's a wonderful Thai place on Church about a block away.

I checked with Mo, who remembers things for me, and she said that we
took you to The Gold Mirror and you liked it.

So much food, so little time.

Portuguese is great. Our favorite place round here is Portuguese: Bistro 12
in Tarrytown.

Simon is getting there tonight—he wants to go to the BIOS show as well as
Photonics West and DesignCon down in San Jose. All helpfully scheduled on
top of each other.

We’re bringing a bunch of stuff to show people as we go—sort of an upmarket
version of the guy selling wristwatches out of his raincoat. ;)

Simon’s new tester company, TheJigsApp, (*) is launching next week too.
It’s really cool—mass-customized test jigs, with 3D printed cradles and
probe boards, made automatically from your Gerbers and delivered in a week.

Looking forward to seeing you and your lovely wife.

(We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming, bringing you the
very best in political cheap shots and personal abuse.) ;)

Cheers

Phil Hobbs

Groan.

Will he do a hardware+software test rig for, say, a small blue box?

A reference to a common experience: “Okay, party’s over. The magic gizmo
works, now I have to test and ship them, oh crap.“

> Will he do a hardware+software test rig for, say, a small blue box?

I’m sure he’ll be amenable to persuasion. ;)

His bit is mainly the custom bed-of-nails jig, with an auto-generated PCB
for the probes. It comes with the EDA files for the probe board, so folks
with special requirements can customize it. <https://thejigsapp.com>

It’s ready to go, and will be actually offered for sale as soon as the
patents get filed, which will be very shortly.

Cheers

I'm 81, which is older, but for me it's a pretty obvious pun.'
