Dr. Lex' Site (BETA)
Welcome to the Dr. Lex site, providing a diverse collection of things since 1997, ranging from information and software to slightly absurd types of humour.
- About: about me and this site.
- S.O.N.A.I.S.: my geeky comic paying homage to the style of early webcomics like User Friendly and GPF, in a modern vaguely A.I.-related setting.
- Educative: various stuff you may learn something from. Some of the most popular pages:
- Calculators: video bitrate – file sizes – time – CIDR
- How to correctly implement an audio volume control
- Hardware: hardware-related things I've done, including my hand-built electric guitars.
- Software & Sound: mostly cross-platform scripts, but also some sounds, fonts, scripts, and some platform-specific things like for Mac OS.
- 3D Printing: printable 3D models I have created or improved and deem useful, fun, or just cool, and information about 3D printing.
- Weird Stuff: what the title says. Enter at your own risk.
- Links: links to other sites.
Other potentially useful pages: the sitemap and the contact page.

Recent updates
New SONAIS cartoon every Tuesday and Friday noon CE(S)T, normally.
- If you're trying to access this site from an Amazon AWS instance and wonder why it fails… it is because I started firewalling millions of AWS IPs, due to abuse from image scrapers. This site is meant for humans, not for stupid bots. I may lift the ban if the situation improves.
- 20 years in the making, now finally available: fairness of a Zocchihedron die, repeating the White Dwarf experiment with a newer version of the dice.
- Minor update to the ‘JavaScript’ section of the Top 13 Things Not to Do When Designing a Website article.
- Most recently updated 3D printable models: minor tweaks to MicroVac Turbo; extra grip variant for Compact Bottle Opener; minor tweaks to Mini Trash Can; corrected nut screw threads for Adjustable Glass Bed Bracket.
- Updated the Links page, including an explanation why such old-school pages are becoming useful again.
- Most recently added 3D printable models: OM-5 Thumb Rest Replacement, Customizable Smartphone stand / charging holder, Mini Clamp Print-in-place, and Lock Pinning Tray (LPL style).
ZOMG! What happened to the cool home page?
Long ago, the home page was a big animated clickable image as shown above. It was cool but impractical to maintain, and it would also be awkward on present-day mobile devices. I might make a worthy future-proof replacement (which is why I labelled this page as ‘BETA’), but for now you will have to make do with this spartan design where the above list of down-to-earth text links take you to the topics in which the site is divided.

Unless you are using an ad blocker (which I'm perfectly fine with), you will get the annoying consent dialog the first time you open a page that has ads.
