Got the old parafinn heater wombled a few years back working. Guessing a bit under a Kw heat output compared to 2Kw fan heater. 11:16:44, 2013-01-20

@WFGuardian Wait, the Met Office has put out a yellow snow warning? :P in reply to WFGuardian 11:51:35, 2013-01-20
The trouble with a messy workshop is that one tiny mistake can ruin weeks of work. Fuuuuuuuuck. 11:54:43, 2013-01-20

@ZeroShiBlue It's all about association. If they belong to something sentient, seems fine ;P in reply to ZeroShiBlue 14:00:15, 2013-01-20
Wonder with climate change when the day the snow never stops will be? And how sustained it'd need to be before infrastructure changes? 14:12:18, 2013-01-20

Wondering if anyone's ever done Oglaf cosplay. It's be hard, what with the persistant nudity. 14:36:07, 2013-01-20
Thankyou Google Images, there is in fact Oglaf cosplay. Even a Crap Tiger. 14:45:23, 2013-01-20

@gogreen18 Presuming limiting context, bleeping may give the impression you said "Cunt" instead & bias opinion of you negatively? Unfair. in reply to gogreen18 19:06:15, 2013-01-19

Workshop was at 1.5c this morning. If I can get working in the morning in this weather, I can do it in any weather. 14:58:39, 2013-01-18
Workshop PC running very slow tho. Suspect HDD is spinning slow due to cold. 14:59:02, 2013-01-18
Reflowed the BGA on the LCD TV. No go. Warmed up the whining toroid a bit, works! 16:08:43, 2013-01-18
*sigh* Okay, there's one component broken in this thing, but I can't figure out which and it's too big to keep. 16:35:50, 2013-01-18
It *sounds* like there's electrical breakdown on one of the SMD transformers. Only time it's displayed okay it's been quiet. 16:40:25, 2013-01-18
@Idessness If the cutting portion is still intact, drive it through with a hammer? in reply to Idessness 17:42:52, 2013-01-18
Oops, inductor shattered when removed. Going to say that was the issue and not butterfingers. 18:02:47, 2013-01-18
Welp, I don't have any the right rating to replace it with, so let's try the closest at only 3 times the value. 18:09:54, 2013-01-18
Holy shit, it seems to be working! I was NOT expecting that. 18:23:28, 2013-01-18
Note to self: Replaced duff "DK 220 723B" inductor with "680 D18", basically because it was the best physical fit. 18:25:08, 2013-01-18
Nope, put the rear back on and it's not working again. 18:36:11, 2013-01-18
Maybe the PCB's delaminated a bit? I can hear tracking again. Definitely from the inductor-side. 18:45:05, 2013-01-18
30 seconds with the heat-gun and it works again. No electrical breakdown hiss and "no signal" clear as day on screen. 18:54:47, 2013-01-18
Whatever this problem is it's extremely slight. 18:58:16, 2013-01-18
Okay, only candidate left is the caps that look otherwise fine. 19:20:11, 2013-01-18
Not noticed before, but apparently heating bad caps can make them behave briefly. 19:21:48, 2013-01-18
Central government in the UK; spend millions to save thousands. 19:33:01, 2013-01-18
Fuck this. I'm putting the TV back together & putting it upstairs until I can buy replacement caps. 19:50:05, 2013-01-18

I need to stop sitting down. I'm more productive when standing. Having an attic room is unhelpful in this regard. 20:43:21, 2013-01-17
Sex under false pretences is usually rape or sexual assault isn't it? 21:36:50, 2013-01-17
@abigailb I usually presume consensual sex implies informed consent, & lying about identity seems to undermine the informed part. in reply to abigailb 21:41:47, 2013-01-17
I find it hard to think of undercover police sleeping with activists as anything other than state-authorised sexual assault. 21:45:33, 2013-01-17
