Cleared bed for sleeping. Someone join me in it. 00:03:51, 2012-02-26
Have installed lightest Twitter client I could find. Is still glitching badly. Windows 2000 on a 15yr/o laptop. 00:08:16, 2012-02-26
Tomorrow.. I shall make fritters! 00:19:38, 2012-02-26

Feeling sad-panda. Did all 3 things intended to today. Tried to squeeze in a 4th thing & failed. 22:26:32, 2012-02-25
Meet attended, @tinyteadragon met with, vac-furnace collected. Couldn't find @sleetfury to drop item off to. Hope she's ok, phone's off. 22:29:15, 2012-02-25
@SleetFury It's not that, journey was fine. Was just sad not to say bye properly. Plus some worry over what'd happened to you. <:) in reply to SleetFury 22:58:01, 2012-02-25

Down the workshop again. HDD test is at 40% after running overnight. Should be done by Saturday morning. No errors yet. 11:24:44, 2012-02-24
I added a video to a @YouTube playlist from @lapfox http://t.co/SFUYTUDk Truxton – Years of Aural Research Have 12:25:22, 2012-02-24

Virgin engineers were in the street today and now our house phone works properly! 12:43:27, 2012-02-24
Thunderbird shouldn't delete local copies of emails if it's set to delete old ones from the server, should it? 14:30:37, 2012-02-24
@jackalesque The credit score is based on how much others have been willing to lend you & your record in paying it back. in reply to jackalesque 15:31:57, 2012-02-24
@jackalesque So unless you've been in debt to them and made regular payments back, won't improve your score. in reply to jackalesque 15:32:35, 2012-02-24
@jackalesque Repaying in full also doesn't help as much as making rolling repayments IIRC. in reply to jackalesque 15:33:25, 2012-02-24
@jackalesque Credit rating is "How much would we (bank) like to have this person as a customer (money source)?" in reply to jackalesque 15:40:08, 2012-02-24
@aerix88 @jackalesque The "grinding" method is to get a credit card, use it for everything you'd use debit card for, pay back right away. in reply to aerix88 16:02:18, 2012-02-24
@aerix88 @jackalesque Sadly requires much self control. One momment of "well, I can find the money in a few weeks" and it spirals. in reply to aerix88 16:02:56, 2012-02-24
@jackalesque @aerix88 Yes, but one mistake and you end up in the debt spiral. in reply to jackalesque 16:03:26, 2012-02-24
@jackalesque Everyone keeps talking about Credit Unions atm. Don't know much about them tho. in reply to jackalesque 16:07:19, 2012-02-24
Okay, looks like if I delete a message from the mail server it won't mean Thunderbird deletes the copy it's already downloaded. 16:30:52, 2012-02-24
Next mail concern; if I set only 1 machine to delete mail older than 30days on server, will it grab a copy of it before deleting it? 16:31:44, 2012-02-24
I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/AlbAr7cG Cassetteboy vs The News 16:41:58, 2012-02-24
If you meet 5 of these 7 criteria, Cameron says you're a "neighbour from Hell". http://t.co/NzzOG6F0 16:59:35, 2012-02-24
The criteria; No parent in work, or with qualifications, poor quality housing, mother (not father) with mental problems.. 17:02:15, 2012-02-24
..1 parent long-term ill/disability, low income, can't afford some food/clothing items. 17:03:13, 2012-02-24

Just occurring to me.. why am I using this PC for net/video from the workshop when the CNC PC would be more powerful? 18:32:47, 2012-02-24
Watched YouTube vid about reply/cleavage girl videos. Now wondering if there's a Japanese girl out there doing word-a-week vids for Scouse. 21:12:30, 2012-02-24

@TinyTeaDragon S'up hon? :( in reply to TinyTeaDragon 22:12:20, 2012-02-24
@TinyTeaDragon *hugs anyway* Talk about it tomorrow if you want? in reply to TinyTeaDragon 22:26:07, 2012-02-24
10pm is not a good time to dismantle a milling machine. However it went well & I'm pretty sure I can mod it to a 200x200x400 machining area. 23:13:54, 2012-02-24

Welp, in the workshop today. New HDD got ordered last night. This time I'm going to try and make an image of it once I have a clean install. 12:14:50, 2012-02-22
..Or at least I will if I can make an image without having to make the image of the full 250Gb partition. 12:15:28, 2012-02-22
For now, grabbing the camera. Can't edit but can upload, and odd things are afoot. 12:15:51, 2012-02-22
For what happened to get you back in there, watch this video: watch?v=YyRjot212 (@YouTube http://t.co/KcdARMxh) 13:49:15, 2012-02-22
@JezzKitty Provided they handle it professionally and not "daughter at a distance", sounds like an excellent opportunity! :) in reply to JezzKitty 14:16:16, 2012-02-22

I just bought myself a tiny deep-fat-fryer as a gift to myself. Haven't rewarded myself in ages. £13, <1L. Perfect for banana fritters. 20:11:24, 2012-02-22
I accept that buying a deep-fryer of any size when stress is giving you chest-pains may not be the wisest choice. 20:12:27, 2012-02-22
@MssZydrate @Sangluna Well if anything can raise spirits.. ;) in reply to MssZydrate 20:44:11, 2012-02-22
Leg of pork will be done soon. <3 21:05:33, 2012-02-22
Roasting it. Oiled the surface and sprinkled it with a chicken stock cube, pepper and rosemary. Last half hour without foil to crisp it up. 21:09:23, 2012-02-22
Update from Scan; new HDD should arrive tomorrow. 21:58:46, 2012-02-22
Must remember to disconnect other drives when reinstalling tomorrow. Think there's a virus on one from that PCB design software. 22:08:18, 2012-02-22
Awesome. Note to self: http://t.co/aCzZJcjM Windows imaging using free tools. Will hopefully prevent me having to reinstall again. 23:21:30, 2012-02-22
If I do it before installing more than basic drivers, should work on new hardware too. Maybe. 23:23:15, 2012-02-22
Either way, clean backup. Can now go indoors to the warm computerless world. 23:23:45, 2012-02-22

Thunderbird backups have created a bunch of "sbd" subdirectories that are breaking inbox displays now. 12:41:54, 2012-02-21
Ffffff.. clean up the files and Thunderbird recreates all the redundant directories again. 12:57:16, 2012-02-21
Some legacy setting keeps messing things up. Uninstalling & reinstalling Thunderbird.. 13:44:04, 2012-02-21
Help. I am now having really huge problems with these email files. 14:36:30, 2012-02-21
This is like pulling teeth… 15:15:04, 2012-02-21
Right.. so deleting the new empty folder deletes the entire contents of the actual mail folder. WTF Thunderbird? 15:17:36, 2012-02-21
My sanity is now in the hands of the Mozilla support forums. 15:50:44, 2012-02-21
Upside to all this is I haven't actually lost any email yet, as reinstall went to IMAP not POP. 16:02:15, 2012-02-21
I liked a @YouTube video from @reidgower http://t.co/pX99bk5P NASA TV spot (unofficial) 17:56:24, 2012-02-21
Master hard-drive has failed. That's £70 down the pan to replace. Shouldn't have lost much. Rest of PC still seems sound. 21:15:17, 2012-02-21
