Homestuck style horns look pretty sweet :D Yellow resin with an orange foam filler. Shame I'm out of foam now. Still, should receive more. 00:01:37, 2011-10-27
@Houndloaf Shit, did you report them? D: in reply to Houndloaf 00:16:16, 2011-10-27
Returned with a can of beer & a fudge bar. Right ankle is in pain tho. Will need ANOTHER ankle brace. :( 00:17:22, 2011-10-27
@Muzkip But acknowledging the tempting of fate cancels it out. That's scientific fact! in reply to Muzkip 00:18:05, 2011-10-27
2Kg of Tiranti's PU rigid foam is £30. Expands less than half as much as the ebay stuff tho. 20:07:19, 2011-10-27
Short story is; TOMPS screwed up my order again. Got flexi foam not rigid. Dad had to run to Tiranti's in town minutes before closing. 20:08:10, 2011-10-27
Compared to what I was using, this is much more expensive stuff. 8 times expansion compared to about 20. 20:08:49, 2011-10-27
This has been an extremely panic-filled day. 18 pairs so far. About to fill more. 20:11:25, 2011-10-27
Tiranti's foam also a lot more forceful. Has cracked the shell casting. :( 20:18:02, 2011-10-27
okay, turns out the tiranti stuff takes longer to cure too 20:58:46, 2011-10-27

Horns! Everywhere! :D 00:03:39, 2011-10-28
Been busy. Only just checked my email for past 24hrs. Wasn't aware Twitter Digest was spamming again. If this happens someone TEXT me plz. 03:03:55, 2011-10-28
Not that I don't appreciate receiving email notification about it hiccuping, but it'll do it every hour & I don't check my email hourly. 03:05:05, 2011-10-28
Hopefully have fixed it now. Seems to be to do with LJ timing out when Xposting, or possibly a malfunction in the entry Tags. Author aware. 03:06:28, 2011-10-28
Since it seems the SSF to LJ link is the Xposting issue, have disabled it & set the Xpost at the Dreamwidth blog level. 03:13:52, 2011-10-28
Back to the last little bit of casting.. 03:16:26, 2011-10-28
Oh my god, just thought of the funniest moto for the stall tomorrow; "Heads or Tails?" Since we're selling horns, hats and tails. 04:48:58, 2011-10-28
@xeni It reads rather like you suddenly have Twitter Tourettes.. in reply to xeni 05:29:03, 2011-10-28
@Houndloaf Miss you too Kei :( in reply to Houndloaf 07:40:20, 2011-10-28
No one understands what it's like to be a kid growing up? Nah, they just don't like to remember. 08:40:38, 2011-10-28

Most of the time making these horns is turning the moulds rightside-out again. They're like fucking Chinese finger traps! 00:26:34, 2011-10-26
Clearing the decks in prep for the next casting session 14:34:03, 2011-10-26
Knew collecting these postman-discarded rubber bands was a good idea. 16:00:26, 2011-10-26
@CassieReynart I'm using them to hold my fibreglass mould-jackets together :) in reply to CassieReynart 16:07:57, 2011-10-26
Great, start-button on the drill's going. :/ 16:50:42, 2011-10-26
Maths to the rescue! 17:11:10, 2011-10-26
I'm totally going to send @renardqueenston a set of free horns if I meet this deadline. Their music is getting me through it. 17:14:21, 2011-10-26
Off to grab some disposable pint glasses. 17:31:41, 2011-10-26
@sfmnemonic @xeni That's because you're not giving the LocalGovernmentEgo entry in the sums a high enough value. in reply to sfmnemonic 17:59:38, 2011-10-26
I have a single horn to show for 2hrs work, 1/4 of my casting supplies and two ripped moulds. 19:42:17, 2011-10-26
Summation: bulk casting does not work. Going to be awake for the next 48hrs to make up for this. 19:43:25, 2011-10-26
Dear UK Government; We're doing better than the USA in this financial mess. Why are you making laws to make us into a miniature USA? 20:13:52, 2011-10-26
Has anyone checked if Cameron's put a bet on at the bookies on the UK crashing and burning? 20:14:36, 2011-10-26
@blueybirdy Argh! Not poisonous is it? *hugs* :( in reply to blueybirdy 20:24:18, 2011-10-26

Interface board is soldered and working! Time for bathroom & coffee break. 00:43:31, 2011-10-24
My bodged Arduino code works! :D 01:47:52, 2011-10-24
Magic smoke! D: 02:49:07, 2011-10-24
Ah. Battery voltage is 14v. These things are only rated up to 12v. 02:59:55, 2011-10-24
I can hear rats in the ceiling chewing on things. 04:27:21, 2011-10-24
Cobbled together 4 voltage regulators. Seem to be holding voltage steady enough the next controller hasn't blown. Motor still too fast tho. 04:28:11, 2011-10-24
Okay, at least ONE motor controller's working out okay. Inner cages keep jumping their drive chain tho 04:35:58, 2011-10-24
Rat scratching in the ceiling is driving me nuts.. 05:31:38, 2011-10-24
I need some gaviscon. 07:01:12, 2011-10-24
You know you've been awake too long when your body stops producing heat properly. 08:04:25, 2011-10-24
@jackalesque No. Been trying to get the rotocaster working again. >_< in reply to jackalesque 08:21:23, 2011-10-24

I think the GMan "sees" via quantum waveform collapse. For him to observe you, you have to see him. #HalfLife 08:48:36, 2011-10-24
Would be supported as he already appears to be intimately related to probabilities and event-paths of individuals. 08:49:23, 2011-10-24
Bonus start to the day! Checked my YT account details & the copyright claim is gone! :D 08:56:16, 2011-10-24
Account may be in good standing, but there's no verification link for extended uploads. 09:08:02, 2011-10-24
Huh. I think Windows sound-device has crashed. No sound will play. Reboot time. 09:17:47, 2011-10-24
I think sleep deprivation is probably a good approximation of what it feels like to be old. Can't keep warm, fuzzy headed, needing to pee.. 09:26:24, 2011-10-24
@NiyohBeast Seconded! I'm so far behind.. in reply to NiyohBeast 09:44:39, 2011-10-24

I reek of resin. :P Taking a breather to get some dinner. Probably chips. 17:30:32, 2011-10-24
Hm. Apparently no one makes an acoustically silent servo motor. Would have thought a worm or helical gear based one would help. 20:19:20, 2011-10-24
