Rainbow
Can you get nice pink ones? For jklug80?
WHAT! I acutally ordered the
Pink?
That's what i was searching
That's what i was searching for!! thanks fritsl
actually i've made my own today. that's money saving! (i only need to find something that insulates the header properly, not that tape doesn't but i don't like it much, its quite loose.
I am not sure what it is
I am not sure what it is called, but it is "heat schringking plastic" - it is like the straws you could use to drink from. You cut off a piece, and insert the bare parts into that. Then you heat it up, and it schrinks firmly around the parts. A lighter is what i use, just a quick flame..
Any electronics store will have it!
(And it is what is used on the cables on the picture, it is easy to see if you have tried to use it before, the way it sticks around the object)
nice! i'll see if i can find
if only i could find
if only i could find anywhere in the Uk that sold the blasted things.
edit: bad lazy christopher, he shall make his own. 0.1" crimps are on the way - could only bulk buy 500 hundred, so if you want some for free, drop me a quick note and you are welcome to a handfull.

Very nice list,
Very nice list, thanks.
Whatever you do, don't make our own. It takes SO much time.
Teach your girlfriend / wife / mom how to, and tell her it is fun!
Glad ya like it
I've been making my own mostly, but those prices make it pretty tempting.
Hmm, pulling a Tom Sawyer on someone, getting them to do it, might just be the ticket.
