Hi, I'm Jonas Issa.

A Work in Progress.

My first ever C# project, long before I learnt about Git I was saving RaR and Zip files to keep version history.
A first lesson in the fundamentals of classes, frameworks, networking.

Originally built 9 years ago on the XNA/MonoGame framework in C#
I am currently refactoring to update the framework from XNA to its renamed MonoGame and further more moving it away from its Visual Studio IDE and into a more hands on environment in VSCode.
Being a 9 year old project it may be best to restart on a better framework, rather than refactoring it all, however it holds sentimental value.

I've made it public on Git for those interested.

A Project to try and take the Console/Terminal to the brink of what's possible.

The App is based on the board game 'Go', and uses the Terminal as the GUI, to enter moves and display the board.

This was a introductory project to C# that I wrote some 8 years ago.

Robotic Hands, especially those marketed as Prosthetics, are a marketing gimmick.

Reviews from amputees on these over-engineered prosthetics show that we have not even come close to the usefulness and capabilities of even a hook hand.
A ratio of a hooks simplicity to its usefulness should always be the benchmark of prosthetics.
Something that costs not even a tenth of the price but a hundredth, and has a theoretical minimum amount of points of failure, as compared to a robotic hand where over engineering has created a point of failure at every inch.

Most are designed to look post-human, robotic, and above all stronger and more resilient, however in reality will never stand up to the challenge given the intricacies of human hands and the tasks we demand of them.
The prosthetic hand itself isn't even the greatest challenge, but the control mechanisms.

A Lathe may be considered the mother of machines, with a little finesse it lives quite close to the idea of RepRap.

Unlike other machines a Lathe is quite capable of building another Lathe, or any other Machine given its focus on precision.
When I bought it, it was unusable, rust had locked many of the moving pieces and the centers were out of alignment.

The idea was to have to take the machine apart and bring new life into it, that way understanding where every bolt goes and why.
With new life and some TLC, the lathe is now capable of machining steel alloys with ease and not just its intended for brass.
