@dresdencodak He probably has a whole wing of his mansion full of corpses that further fuels his guilt/vengeance complex. in reply to dresdencodak 01:55:29, 2011-10-19
Ear is all bunged up. Bought some cheap gloves. Headbands and rigid resin on their way. Panic stations. 17:23:48, 2011-10-19
@inmywindow Better luck next time. The odds improve all the while. ;P in reply to inmywindow 18:05:06, 2011-10-19
Have had a political idea. It seems too simple to be true, but I can't think why it wouldn't work. 18:06:27, 2011-10-19
Mum just got the all-clear from the hospital. :) 18:23:34, 2011-10-19
@inmywindow If people don't die, the value of the currency continues to go down as it's further diluted. Because that's all that matters. :( in reply to inmywindow 18:25:24, 2011-10-19
@erocdrahs @MsLisaRogers It's worse when medical companies would rather people die than they miss exclusive rights to a treatment. in reply to erocdrahs 18:28:25, 2011-10-19
@GraafenBlackpaw For now all I'll say is that it's the only written "petition" that could really work. in reply to GraafenBlackpaw 18:31:48, 2011-10-19
@inmywindow Sometimes you need a media-fast. I hosted a news show for 6 months. Really messed me up. *hug* in reply to inmywindow 18:32:59, 2011-10-19
Question; If you heard an MP wanted it made illegal to be unhappy with the government, would you think it was a joke anymore? 19:34:02, 2011-10-19
@ChaseLionessAD It's pretty cool to do. :3 in reply to ChaseLionessAD 19:39:21, 2011-10-19
I'm of the opinion that no-one nit-picks problems in ideas like sci-fi fans do. Agree? I think this trait could be useful to the UK. 19:44:34, 2011-10-19
@ChaseLionessAD I'm just gonna make a dirty-old-man "hurrrrr" noise now XD in reply to ChaseLionessAD 20:27:53, 2011-10-19
@ChaseLionessAD Yup, for the first time in a lil while. You? in reply to ChaseLionessAD 20:34:36, 2011-10-19
@ChaseLionessAD I'll be sure to knock before going into the bathroom XD in reply to ChaseLionessAD 20:38:40, 2011-10-19
@ChaseLionessAD Quite right. I'll just bring the video camera. in reply to ChaseLionessAD 20:48:48, 2011-10-19
@ChaseLionessAD Yes, but I was being filthy minded for comedy purposes. ;P in reply to ChaseLionessAD 20:52:56, 2011-10-19
INNER CAGES ARE WORKING! That only took 5 hours. 20:53:23, 2011-10-19
@ChaseLionessAD Most folk do the "Haha, I was joking.. unless you were being serious, in which case I was too." thing at some point. (cont) in reply to ChaseLionessAD 20:55:25, 2011-10-19
@ChaseLionessAD This was just being silly tho. :P in reply to ChaseLionessAD 20:55:44, 2011-10-19
Right, couple of bits to improve rigidity, then that's done. 20:59:02, 2011-10-19

AGH, one of the speed controllers just blew! D: I don't have any spares. 22:18:42, 2011-10-19
Some dirt-cheap RC motor controllers bought. Hoping there's some arduino code out there I can co-opt to run them. And that they dont burnup. 22:54:50, 2011-10-19

Wishing I had more bearings to hand. What do I have I can pull some out of?
Ah, some rollerskate wheels. 00:09:23, 2011-10-18
Okay, first matched pair casting! By hand, little too thin, but detail is EXCELLENT 00:40:34, 2011-10-18

Okay, net working again. Bypassed the little hub. Guess it's not working right anymore. 16:32:20, 2011-10-17
Well bugger. Since Virgin booked instalation on the day mum got out of hospital, we're now going to have 3-4 days without net. 17:42:06, 2011-10-17
De-moulding horns. Not going well. ARGH. 20:09:28, 2011-10-17
This is REALLY not going well. 20:52:10, 2011-10-17
Ok. I need chocolate. Then I need to clear space. Then I need to start over on the moulds from scratch. 21:02:09, 2011-10-17
well I hope that worked, because I'm out of rubber gloves now. 23:59:25, 2011-10-17

Doesn't sound like the NYPD know the meaning of "de-escalate". :( #OWS 00:24:25, 2011-10-16
Tear gas in such a large & packed crowds will lead to panic, crushes, injuries & probably death. Death leads to protests becoming militant. 00:26:17, 2011-10-16
@RT_com Three blokes scuffling with the police hardly counts as fighting erupting. It's Saturday night in London. This is normal so far. in reply to RT_com 01:07:34, 2011-10-16

Wonder if the @PiratePartyUK could form a coalition with a sane economic party to have a chance at votes? Pick and mix. 17:11:38, 2011-10-16
@PiratePartyUK Suspect it's less blind cuts & attempt to invest in growth, while letting bad businesses fail on their own accord. in reply to PiratePartyUK 20:49:32, 2011-10-16
@PiratePartyUK And regarding parties, maybe coalition is the wrong term. Who could be head-hunted to form an ideal party selection? in reply to PiratePartyUK 20:50:18, 2011-10-16

Annoyed by these signs at London squares. No simple "NO ENTRY – PRIVATE PROPERTY" but full pages of fine-print legalese. So bureaucratic. 11:25:57, 2011-10-15
Was aiming to sleep late today, but have been woken up by the doorbell three times. Am now awake but so dozy it's hard to see. 11:47:11, 2011-10-15
