@antlercat D'awww :3 in reply to antlercat 00:34:42, 2011-11-07
Those parts I wombled earlier may let me build a vacuum-former at last. 00:57:34, 2011-11-07
@antlercat Logistics issue. Can you afford to make that large investment right now? If not, long-term savings don't matter. in reply to antlercat 01:08:37, 2011-11-07
@antlercat Which gives the best return? Also if you have a 2nd bank account, can make a standing-order to put the saved money in automatic. in reply to antlercat 01:14:33, 2011-11-07
@antlercat Do any options go beyond saving you money and actually earn you some? in reply to antlercat 01:19:15, 2011-11-07
@antlercat Their returns can be pretty slow though. 1am probably not best for financial advice tho. ;) in reply to antlercat 01:23:03, 2011-11-07
That was close! Almost went to bed without ordering more pigment. Now should have black pigment in time to make orders before LF meet. 01:55:34, 2011-11-07
Replying to a comment on Facebook has made me think; making a reproduction of the Bill & Ted phonebooth would be awesome. 02:02:46, 2011-11-07
@sevenhelz You've got me thinking about Family Tinsel now, ala tartan. in reply to sevenhelz 12:31:43, 2011-11-07
RAGE. Just been to check post & found a note saying they couldn't deliver because there's a fee to pay! 12:47:52, 2011-11-07
There's a £1 handling fee on top of insufficient postage of 46p. Which I have to collect tomorrow as the sorting office is already closed. 12:49:25, 2011-11-07
So 46p insuffienct postage, plus £1 handling fee, plus £4 to get to the sorting office and back again.. £5.46. 12:50:07, 2011-11-07
Can't help but think of the guy in government who realised cutting disabled benefits will make more of them die, further reducing costs. 13:32:05, 2011-11-07
Finding 3.2m long arris rail is tricky. Most places don't stock past 3m. 14:43:16, 2011-11-07
Modified super-fast servo works! Sort of. The feedback loop timing is WAY out now. Twitches back & forth like a hummingbird. 20:00:22, 2011-11-07
@ChaseLionessAD We all have lil things like that I'm sure. X3 in reply to ChaseLionessAD 21:02:57, 2011-11-07
This servo is a dead-end. Will require modding electronics to make it work right. Easier to just add a lever linkage. 21:13:53, 2011-11-07
I'll limit the servo's range in software, turn maybe 40 degrees into 120 at the lever. Should get the twitch response. 21:15:15, 2011-11-07
@ladyuhuru How delightfully drizzled :) in reply to ladyuhuru 21:21:23, 2011-11-07
Right, time to go make some Energy Pasta, so I can be all active and stuff tomorrow. 21:21:52, 2011-11-07
@Scaley_Jencen Nope! I don't have a TV. :3 Also I'm researching advanced servo drivers. in reply to Scaley_Jencen 22:39:27, 2011-11-07
#UK Newspaper is secretly stalking the children and lawyers of their victims & the police have the OK to use rubber bullets on protesters. 22:46:48, 2011-11-07
Things can ALWAYS sink lower. People forget just how far you have to go to dig right through the planet. 22:47:49, 2011-11-07
TF2 Celebrity showmatch vids on YT. Lots of YT stars, devs, mappers. Token girls on each team only listed as "Female gamer". 22:50:42, 2011-11-07
@BlooDoodles Is it not available to download anymore? in reply to BlooDoodles 23:12:31, 2011-11-07
@BlooDoodles Unless something's changed you can perpetually reset the trial period by deleting one file. in reply to BlooDoodles 23:25:23, 2011-11-07

@tenatios He's probably raised his game since that 360 no-scope guy. (@YouTube http://t.co/eZrm8v6Y) 00:01:13, 2011-11-06
@TheBlargenfarg Must be pretty insulting to them. They could be the best gamer (@YouTube http://t.co/eZrm8v6Y) 00:09:49, 2011-11-06

Not something you hear often, but I wish there were more pictures of shaved dogs on the internet. Ear cartilage is tricky to judge. 01:04:42, 2011-11-06
Have ordered a cheap No.10 stapler for attaching the elastic linkages. Pretty sure it'll work. 02:06:19, 2011-11-06

I demand cuddles. >:( 21:44:13, 2011-11-06
@jackalesque Any rocks with a 32yr half-life? in reply to jackalesque 22:37:15, 2011-11-06
Have ordered a spare Turnigy servo to modify for speed. Will mean chopping down gearbox housing & casting replacement. 22:40:45, 2011-11-06
Why must people post such excellent niche pornography? It's hard to concentrate on other things when so many buttons get pressed at once. 22:43:37, 2011-11-06
Don't know why there's so many comments saying she's fat. That cat has to be at (@YouTube http://t.co/oH1wYcXh) 22:54:27, 2011-11-06
I need chocolate. 23:02:42, 2011-11-06
Back with crisps and chocolate coconut rings. Also wombled a vacuum cleaner & some metal shelves. 23:26:27, 2011-11-06

@ShanieTX It looks pretty dire :( in reply to ShanieTX 00:28:48, 2011-11-05
First time I've heard the news refer to "life-changing injuries". Not sure how I feel about that. 00:33:44, 2011-11-05
That is to say, I'm not sure if it empathises or trivialises. There's aspects of both in it. 00:38:55, 2011-11-05
Yes, I think I mostly dislike the term because it sounds very reality-TV. 00:46:33, 2011-11-05
Only a few photos left to edit, then a few sums, then I can happily upload the things. 00:47:23, 2011-11-05
@sevenhelz I want my own Doom Bell. in reply to sevenhelz 03:13:20, 2011-11-05
Hopefully Karen should be shipping me her Kudu horns on monday. Will be cool to try casting from them. Just gotta get some Dragon Skin now. 16:59:44, 2011-11-05

Going to pop up the road, get cheap frozen food, sugar for tea, then come home and build some moving ears. 20:25:02, 2011-11-05
Odd that we still burn the Guy on Nov 5th, when so many would love to do what he tried to nowadays. 20:52:05, 2011-11-05
I've lost my head. Literally. There's a polystyrene dummy head here somewhere and I can't find it. 21:11:00, 2011-11-05
I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/6w2eF1yc The Darkness – I Believe In A Thing Called Love 21:38:51, 2011-11-05
Ah, a small breakthrough in the animatronic ears. There's a bony protrusion in the skull the ear cartilage "rolls" around when moving. 23:33:04, 2011-11-05

I'm staring at a servo-motor gearbox, wondering about removing the final gear stage to make a faster servo. 00:17:02, 2011-11-04
I need negligible torque, just speed and low-noise. I think it could work. Position precision will likely suffer a lot tho. 00:19:05, 2011-11-04
@avon_deer My guess is someone's wombled it from the skip of somewhere doing an IT clear-out. in reply to avon_deer 16:07:08, 2011-11-04
Should probably not be reading MS Paint Adventures and thinking "It's funny because it's true." 19:42:35, 2011-11-04
Finished reading Problem Sleuth. Really glad I'm not epileptic. 22:16:36, 2011-11-04
I'm out of sugar and have mislaid my emergency backup sachets. D: 22:54:30, 2011-11-04
UK Government seems to be setting Soviet Russia as it's role-model, demanding people work for sake of work with no pay. 23:15:08, 2011-11-04
Not referring to communism per-se, but that the state appointed a job to everyone, no matter how pointless, to keep the figures right. 23:16:04, 2011-11-04
@Eithin Can see some merit in it from a POV of enforcing good work habits, but it's lack of income that is the problem. in reply to Eithin 23:18:47, 2011-11-04

@Apesink Oopsie? Actually, does the computer still detect it? if it's just the housing & lens, I might be able to use the guts. in reply to Apesink 01:02:09, 2011-11-03
Btw folks, have added my own blog to my RSS reader. If it starts respamming entries again, should give me an earlier heads-up. 02:01:22, 2011-11-03
