I'm staring at another milling machine on ebay. Nearby, one bid, £100, few details. ¬_¬;; 21:13:12, 2011-05-15
Stop browsing ebay and start LISTING things on it you gimp. 21:16:49, 2011-05-15

@garrwolfdog Impressive! Also I like how he can have parts 3D printed but doesn't have access to a decent camera. in reply to garrwolfdog 00:07:47, 2011-05-14
I think I'm reaching some sort of critical activity mass. Not there yet, but give it a week or two. 00:13:46, 2011-05-14

@Moshiicake God that sounds lovely. in reply to Moshiicake 15:54:24, 2011-05-14
@Pinkyfennec Looking into it it seems promising. Drug comps wouldn't invest in a drug that already exists, & they did some trials last year. in reply to Pinkyfennec 16:09:22, 2011-05-14

Scan of the disk should be done in another half-hour. If all is well I'll go to bed and leave it copying 300Gb til morning. 02:27:42, 2011-05-13
Surface scan time suggests a rate of about 330Gb/hr. Will be done around the 180 minute mark. 02:29:20, 2011-05-13

Install's not happy anyway, so will need to reinstall. Best to figure what graphics card drivers won't bork it. 00:00:21, 2011-05-12
@firefiber I don't know the location, but beginning to think it's a vid driver issue. Recently updated to nVidia 270.61. Checking versions. in reply to firefiber 00:03:10, 2011-05-12

266.58 refuses to install. Trying 260.99. 00:24:31, 2011-05-12
260.99 installed. Watching some videos now to see if it holds. 00:36:44, 2011-05-12
@renardqueenston Is that Sunday or Monday? Timezones, y'know… 00:48:14, 2011-05-12
260.99 seems to be holding steady with much tab-switching while videos running. 00:49:11, 2011-05-12
Oh, and the repaired monitor has been running on another machine's desktop for nearly an hour with no power glitching. 00:52:02, 2011-05-12
@firefiber Fragmentation wasn't helping, but yeah looks like an issue with nVidia 270.61 driver on my 8600 GT & XP. Now using v260.99. You? in reply to firefiber 00:58:19, 2011-05-12
@renardqueenston Oh that's fine. Was worried it'd be a weekday. Other plans. in reply to renardqueenston 01:00:06, 2011-05-12

@tajasel It looks good on you, but wow what a different look :) in reply to tajasel 02:00:55, 2011-05-12
@ChaseLioness I'd say the same but my Bio teacher was a lady & her shaving status would be in places I never got to see. Also been 15yrs. :P in reply to ChaseLioness 13:54:28, 2011-05-12
My chest feels tight again. I'm not stressed. Maybe I inhaled something in the workshop? Time for a walk. 13:55:36, 2011-05-12

I figured there'd only be a few dozen colours on this, but no, it's a PNG. Appropriately there's 666 used. 17:30:34, 2011-05-12
I suspect scandisk results from this new HDD may not be favourable. As I open the packet a chipped-off chunk of the housing fell out. 21:03:05, 2011-05-12
Hitachi using "metric" gigabytes too. "1Tb" actually 931.51Gb not 1000Gb. 21:15:38, 2011-05-12
Anyway it's formatting. Should be done in a couple of hours. 21:16:22, 2011-05-12

@firefiber Well it seems to have stopped happening for me now with the driver downgrade, so certainly seems driver-related. in reply to firefiber 22:46:33, 2011-05-12
Holy.. Michael Straczynski developed Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors! This explains so much! 22:53:02, 2011-05-12
New drive's started making a lot of activity noise at the 98% formatted mark. Fearing a bunch of dead sectors right at the end.. 23:47:14, 2011-05-12
And now it's quiet again. Spooky. o_o 23:48:06, 2011-05-12

Phone about another clear casting resin. Some potential perhaps, but large shrinkage. Will grab sample. 12:49:32, 2011-05-11
Phoning O2 next to check about transferring my Orange contract number to a PAYG. Making sure it's possible. 12:51:36, 2011-05-11

@doctorow I usually buy drives from Scan.co.uk. They're usually cheapest. And they have SSD & regular stocked. in reply to doctorow 13:12:46, 2011-05-11
O2 SIM is on the way, PAYG is as I hoped (deal is 30days from last top-up), PAC code will cancel Orange contract. 13:26:16, 2011-05-11
Also got a small sample of another clear resin on the way. My moulds are at about the minimum size limit tho. 13:27:33, 2011-05-11
Next I post something, eat some lunch, then move more shelves around in the workshop before more casting & mould making. #active 13:28:30, 2011-05-11
Stainless shelf I found is up! Got all the oils, fluids and sprays on it. #EasyToClean 15:26:47, 2011-05-11
The capacitors I ordered have also arrived. First some tea, then some casting, then I'll do the soldering. 15:27:15, 2011-05-11
@TinyTeaDragon I'll begin work on advanced cooling systems. 16:42:43, 2011-05-11
Bah. Got to re-cast something before I can get on with the soldering. 18:20:48, 2011-05-11
There are ten blooms on my beautiful smelling rose~ Imagining cutting one for someone. 18:37:58, 2011-05-11
Probably going to be a good chances of more cuttings too. 18:38:18, 2011-05-11
Soldering done! Putting the LCD back together now.. one cap blew while soldering, but looks like it was damaged in the post. 19:47:33, 2011-05-11
Okay, cross fingers.. testing time.. 19:56:34, 2011-05-11
It's not caught fire.. and the "check video cable" text is showing. It's not imediately power-cycling at least. 19:58:36, 2011-05-11
Silent. No buzzing or hissing. Seems to power-save off after a minute or so. Turns back on fine. Will take indoors for video testing later. 19:59:51, 2011-05-11

Had a thought. Have rolled by my display drivers to a much earlier version to see if it helps with Flash video issue. 22:44:44, 2011-05-11
Just realised there's a "spotlight" around the mouse cursor for the unselected Chrome tab mouseover. 23:25:22, 2011-05-11
Okay, might have been an nVidia driver issue. Was running v270.61, downgraded to v190.62. Going to try v266.58 now. 23:58:41, 2011-05-11
