@AdriOfTheDead It's an apple tree, and it's called Grandma's Apple Pie for a reason. in reply to AdriOfTheDead 00:55:55, 2011-06-06

Transformer are fucking weird. Got one with 6 outputs. On 250v AC,pairs get 14.4, 15.6 &20v out. 3 secondaries? But get volts between them! 20:24:28, 2011-06-06
It must be multi-tap, but voltage outputs aren't immediately obviously in any order. 20:25:42, 2011-06-06
Got 3 possible transformers/PSUs I can probably get 5v and 12v out of. Unsure of current capacities though. 20:36:16, 2011-06-06
Tea Dragon's claws are curing, some workshop space cleared. Going for a shower, then may draw and/or sleep. 22:19:56, 2011-06-06

Close to being done on paperwork, but internet banking has gone down. Tomorrow. 01:43:25, 2011-06-05
The rain is finally cooling my room down. I've also almost got the paperwork done too! Next; ebaying. 17:42:14, 2011-06-05
Business paperwork is all caught up at last. 8minutes left on fridge auction. Currently winning. 21:11:23, 2011-06-05
Woo! I won an old fridge! :P 21:19:35, 2011-06-05
Don't have anything left I can readily put on ebay that their arbitrary postal fee limits won't render pointless. 21:27:41, 2011-06-05
@pandalion Good grief, has it been a year already?? And btw, you know there's an LF meet on your bday? in reply to pandalion 21:42:09, 2011-06-05

@pandalion Yupyup! Few others are going to the gig too. Hoping we can all meet up for drinkies beforehand. Can bring the elderflower wine.:3 in reply to pandalion 22:03:30, 2011-06-05

Tomorrow is elderflower day. I get to chill down a bottle and see how the thing tastes. 00:04:28, 2011-06-03

@ShanieTX It looks good with the top down :) in reply to ShanieTX 14:23:42, 2011-06-03
Tried the smallest bottle of elderflower! It's a lot drier than last years. Not as sweet. Alcohol content probably up a lot. Nearly wine. 14:55:34, 2011-06-03
@GreatDismal Did it involve David Ike? in reply to GreatDismal 19:12:23, 2011-06-03
@steamcrow You could just throw it up on Spreadshirt if you're unsure? No outlay, no risk. 19:52:48, 2011-06-03
Why are there no online shops in the UK that sell replacement/repair bearings for swivel chairs?? 20:40:21, 2011-06-03
All I need is a thrust-bearing about 8-9mm thick with an 8-9mm ID. 20:40:50, 2011-06-03

Holy shit, I just realised we're in the middle of the year now! 00:55:19, 2011-06-02
There's a huge moth in here somewhere. It's vanished. And it'll bash into my face the moment I go to bed. #CantSleepMothWillEatMe 01:21:00, 2011-06-02
Light reflecting off my face will make it the brightest thing in the room. And I'll get moth-dust all over my face. (pardon to @mothdust) 01:21:58, 2011-06-02
Okay, that modded fridge looks like it'll go for a reasonable amount. Will look elsewhere. In the meantime, scanning then bed. 01:28:22, 2011-06-02
Fingers all covered in mothdust, but I caught the lil bugger and chucked it out the window. 01:30:34, 2011-06-02
Okay, curiosity-bid has put me in the lead. 3days til it ends. ¬_¬ 01:36:21, 2011-06-02
The wheelchair ramp has been collected. Going to pay Focus DIY a visit. Apparently they're going into admin, so may be some cheap stuff. 11:15:11, 2011-06-02
The Focus DIY closing down sale: Even with the 20-50% discounts you can still get 90% of the stuff cheaper elsewhere. 13:37:07, 2011-06-02
Going to go back nearer closing time. *Might* get one of the little dehumidifiers if they go under £10. Maybe more to resell? 13:37:57, 2011-06-02
@meekoblue Also they don't fire anyone. Ever. Even the guy who smashed up the staff toilet with a hammer. in reply to meekoblue 13:50:53, 2011-06-02

@meekoblue He was asked to replace a broken toilet seat & "removed" the old one with a hammer. All left was the pipe out of the concrete. in reply to meekoblue 14:21:05, 2011-06-02
@meekoblue Cost £100+ just to find a salvage yard loo that would fit the cast-in sewage pipe connection. in reply to meekoblue 14:22:16, 2011-06-02

Amazing. Most helpful call I've ever made to Orange, and it only happens a month after I leave their network. 18:00:30, 2011-06-02
Err, fortnight, not month. 18:01:08, 2011-06-02
