I need to go rummage in the cheap plastic crap of Poundland again. Need something with a smooth round bottom. Like a huge testtube, pervs ;P 01:19:10, 2013-03-05
@ZeroShiBlue We like to get stuff done! But also still get periodic tea & cuddles. Just have a wing of a house to yourself. :3 in reply to ZeroShiBlue 01:36:18, 2013-03-05
This new chair makes a creaking sound that sounds like an electronic "ping". Keep thinking someone's left a phone behind me. 01:54:55, 2013-03-05

PCI riser card arrived a week early! If it tests okay, got a new workshop PC to put in place! 10:48:51, 2013-03-05
Little concerned about a "rush order" I've been given. If they don't pay in the next few hours there won't be time to do it. 10:50:27, 2013-03-05
@ZeroShiBlue I'm throwing chicken-soup at the screen but it's not working. :( in reply to ZeroShiBlue 11:11:52, 2013-03-05

Big office-chair has been put binned. Cut off some usable leather-textured vinyl from it first. It's crime? Being too worn & comfy. 14:59:36, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz I'll grab my electric candles. :) in reply to sevenhelz 15:00:14, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz Likewise. Having coffee for lunch again. Homemade pea & ham soup was re-boiled one too many times & got poured down the loo. :P in reply to sevenhelz 15:04:08, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz That does sound nice. Maybe I'll grill a big mushroom & put some cheese & herbs on it. :3 in reply to sevenhelz 15:13:46, 2013-03-05

@sevenhelz Got some "everyday seasoning" from the 99p shop. Black pepper, salt & dried garlic flakes all in one grinder. Makes toast amazing in reply to sevenhelz 15:16:52, 2013-03-05
Okay, got the kWh tarrif for the house. 9.94p, plus 28p daily rate. Now I just need to measure tool power consumption. 15:18:16, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz I probably would too if I wore the breathing mask more these days. Would probably avoid coffee too. in reply to sevenhelz 15:19:45, 2013-03-05
@Cmdr_Hadfield I love that you're riding around inside the most advanced space habitat ever built & still checking wikipedia. in reply to Cmdr_Hadfield 15:21:40, 2013-03-05

Apparently the Dell OptiPlex GX280 has no way of monitoring the CPU temperature. Not even in the BIOS. WTF Dell? 18:59:04, 2013-03-05
Apparently the temp sensor is built into the fan itself, completely out of the loop as far as the motherboard's concerned. Terrifying. 19:01:02, 2013-03-05

Don't have a low-profile riser for this graphics card but the VGA connector's on a flying lead.. so I might just hot-glue the card in place. 20:11:41, 2013-03-03
Also seems the install on the salvaged Dell is "Windows XP Performance Edition". It's rather nice. 20:13:25, 2013-03-03
