- Doesn't matter a whole bunch though. Took 10min to load (progress bar isn't, it's a V slow animation loop) & runs at 1fps with broken sound. 03:20:55, 2011-06-29
- I did try running it at SVGA though, so will try VGA (640×480) to see if it works at all. Supposed to run on dual-core, so.. 03:22:03, 2011-06-29
- Ok, even at VGA it pushes the envelope of "playable". Sound glitching & broken, low fps & hangs routinely. 03:38:02, 2011-06-29
- *might* be able to squeeze some more out of it with a gamefiles defrag & lower settings, but smooth play on this PC seems unlikely. 03:38:50, 2011-06-29
- Time for sleep anyway. 03:39:03, 2011-06-29
- Just got woken up by the workshop alarm going off. Nothing apparently triggered it though. 07:25:55, 2011-06-29
- @pandalion It has raisins in though.. in reply to pandalion 07:48:39, 2011-06-29
- @pandalion Welcome to pop by later then :) in reply to pandalion 07:53:19, 2011-06-29
- Brain is stalling and starting, but can't go back to sleep now. Gotta plough forward, regardless. 07:56:49, 2011-06-29
- "It's like Facebook, but by Google" is all I'm hearing from people this morning. Not heavy on technical details, that description. 07:58:49, 2011-06-29
- @pandalion I'll try, but it's yummy. Also only keeps a couple of days. I think. It's never lasted longer, actually. *burp* in reply to pandalion 08:02:33, 2011-06-29
- Think I've found the culprit. A PIR sensor should not make a sound like a dying crow when activated. Battery's run down. 08:41:53, 2011-06-29
- Thankfully there's several secondary sensors. 08:42:42, 2011-06-29
- It's before 9am and I'm sipping coffee. I fully expect to be hallucinating Lemmings by lunchtime. 08:44:19, 2011-06-29
- @DrPetra Can see the benefit in removing it, but also recognise the "nose" helps keep balance/lateral control of a bicycle. in reply to DrPetra 08:45:44, 2011-06-29
- @DrPetra I'm looking at the ISM Touring saddle for my next bike, which has the nose more "hollowed" than removed. in reply to DrPetra 08:47:36, 2011-06-29
- @DrPetra May become common someday, but now people still happy to use knife-edge racing saddles for touring, so not much impetus for change? in reply to DrPetra 08:51:54, 2011-06-29
- @DrPetra Perhaps for those attentive enough to consider it. I doubt most casual riders even consider saddle choice tho. Theyre just "there". in reply to DrPetra 08:56:06, 2011-06-29
- @RufusHound That's some good quality welding. Lean to steer? in reply to RufusHound 09:22:33, 2011-06-29
- I think the reason why some people get concerned about games possibly causing v (@YouTube http://youtu.be/-KQukrIaN_Q?a) 09:28:15, 2011-06-29
- Just phoned in a complaint to the Post Office. Heard the gate then letterbox go, but it was a "you were out" card. Postie already gone. 10:03:18, 2011-06-29
- The crazy thing is I could see him through the glass door. He appeared to be holding the package that was too big for the letterbox. So why? 10:04:26, 2011-06-29
- @respros Roll of duck-tape = £4 in reply to respros 10:05:20, 2011-06-29
- @greskilvulf I could sorta understand it if they just filled them out in the van for ALL parcels, but why carry them around still then?? in reply to greskilvulf 10:24:44, 2011-06-29
- @JezzKitty I only got 3 hours. I feel like I'm drunk, without the merriness. o_o in reply to JezzKitty 10:54:05, 2011-06-29
- @tajasel And they're the ones who said you can't publicly tweet about it. I smell conspiracy. But I'm also quite sleep-deprived currently. in reply to tajasel 11:15:05, 2011-06-29
- Oh so THAT'S where Das Bo'Schitt got that joke from. (@YouTube http://youtu.be/3mKM3nVnfCg?a) 14:11:42, 2011-06-29
- I liked a @YouTube video http://youtu.be/RL-nqlGci50?a Message from Anonymous to the Spanish Police – Technological In 16:05:52, 2011-06-29
- Weird. The banana bread has matured overnight with oddly strawberry-esque tones. 17:34:44, 2011-06-29
- @twinklestah Awwww :) in reply to twinklestah 18:25:25, 2011-06-29
- @MechanicalAlias Oh wow, a stunning blue! :D in reply to MechanicalAlias 18:25:51, 2011-06-29
- Slowly making new cats-paws from plasticine.. 18:26:12, 2011-06-29
- @twinklestah Revel in it :) *hugs* in reply to twinklestah 18:31:12, 2011-06-29
- @GraafenBlackpaw Just don't ask which definition or we'll be here all day. in reply to GraafenBlackpaw 20:10:48, 2011-06-29
- @NixiePixel Certainly looking brighter :) in reply to NixiePixel 20:11:44, 2011-06-29
- @JezzKitty You'll have to as girly as 5 girls to compensate! in reply to JezzKitty 20:28:40, 2011-06-29
- Okay, I can't drill and tap the spheres. My lathe chuck isn't big enough. 20:43:04, 2011-06-29
- Fixed the broken eggtimer battery cover by soldering a AA battery holder onto the back. That'll last longer than a poxy button-cell. 21:20:36, 2011-06-29
- Also found the spare batteries for the other timer. That helps a bit. 21:21:04, 2011-06-29
- Weird, I think I can work better when exhausted in a way. I don't have enough going on upstairs to get distracted. 21:29:08, 2011-06-29
- Some modeling, casting & repair work done. Can be moderatly content with today. Now I'm going to take an actual bath. 21:29:47, 2011-06-29
- Does anyone know where to get fabric-covered alice-bands WITH an non-slip comb on the underside? 23:52:10, 2011-06-29
