The government are privatising the UK police force. Hate to say "I told you so", but.. http://t.co/Dgnz2Vkq 18:38:32, 2012-03-02
@Glinner @KathViner Presuming the armed forces will be next, seeing as they'll already be commanded by a private firm for the Olympics. in reply to Glinner 18:39:24, 2012-03-02
So, presuming the government's long-term aim is to privatise everything, their own employment rides on them being middle-management? 18:40:42, 2012-03-02
@ZeroShiBlue Mmmmm, go noms! in reply to ZeroShiBlue 18:49:20, 2012-03-02
@Eithin Anyone who uses the term "facilitator" without irony needs to be shot. in reply to Eithin 18:50:13, 2012-03-02
Filterkeys has come on and messed up the keyboard. Fffff 19:15:18, 2012-03-02
All full of noms. Coffee, bit of tidying, final touch-ups to filler and I think I'm good for the night. Might video-edit quickly too. 21:41:43, 2012-03-02
378mm by 230mm! That's 9cm more travel! Only needed 6. :) 22:59:09, 2012-03-02

This is where the USA starts to regionalise the internet. http://t.co/kPSwDOlM Enjoy only your state-permitted access, folks. 14:38:05, 2012-03-01
Henna, Valerian, Loofahs, bamboo.. wondering what sort of utility-plants are good to cultivate. 15:54:13, 2012-03-01

Mum's done a nice job on the garden today. 21:09:35, 2012-03-01
Mill-base is all ready to take the angle-grinder to tomorrow. Horns should be ready to cast then too. 21:10:14, 2012-03-01

@ZeroShiBlue This is usually a good plan! in reply to ZeroShiBlue 00:04:05, 2012-02-29
@SleetFury AHAHA, omg <3 in reply to SleetFury 00:04:33, 2012-02-29
@FlowerAssassin Good luck! in reply to FlowerAssassin 00:10:43, 2012-02-29
@Scaley_Jencen -5v only one not lighting on cheap tester. Main drive been only one with the 3.3v line connected tho. in reply to Scaley_Jencen 00:12:33, 2012-02-29
@FlowerAssassin Can be hard! Almost hope it's not very nice, then you can practice checking without worrying about if you get it. in reply to FlowerAssassin 00:14:31, 2012-02-29
@Scaley_Jencen They're complex things with a lot of potential points of failure. :/ in reply to Scaley_Jencen 00:15:26, 2012-02-29
@FlowerAssassin I regretted not getting the 1st one I saw. It was lovely but I told them I'd think about it. Lost it within an hour. :P in reply to FlowerAssassin 00:16:17, 2012-02-29
@Scaley_Jencen I suspect building a new PC may be the only long-term option for it. Won't be gaming/arting on PC for some time. in reply to Scaley_Jencen 00:21:42, 2012-02-29
@Scaley_Jencen Mainboard's obsolete now. This means new mainboard, CPU and RAM. in reply to Scaley_Jencen 00:28:15, 2012-02-29
@Scaley_Jencen Got to be one with two PCI-E graphics slots. But can't afford even the cheapest atm. in reply to Scaley_Jencen 00:47:24, 2012-02-29
Right, tomorrow I drop the 2ndary drive out of the workshop machine & into the rebuilt CNC one. Can then start processing. 01:38:54, 2012-02-29
Now, a well deserved wank and sleep. 01:39:12, 2012-02-29
Aside from Windows default theme reinstating itself every reboot, new workshop PC is assembled and running fine. 12:23:25, 2012-02-29
All audio-input on the PC has it's volume sliders frozen. Bug with RealTek HD audio. No apparent solution. 14:44:57, 2012-02-29
Thankyou! Getting so sick of RealTek sound. Nice when it works, but is incompat (@YouTube http://t.co/aN3IugrJ) 14:55:43, 2012-02-29
Email stores have been rebuilt. Will be doing yet another backup once Thunderbird finishes re-indexing all 1.65Gb worth. Phew. 22:13:09, 2012-02-29
Going for POP with a 7-day server retention. IMAP thinks email's been deleted if you move it to a different local folder. 22:15:32, 2012-02-29
That said, it probably just means I'd have to create all the folders and rules on the mail-server itself, but not now. Fix & catch up now. 22:16:52, 2012-02-29
@mothdust Wouldn't have access to 6 different accounts and 13years of archived email that way. in reply to mothdust 22:28:47, 2012-02-29
@mothdust Plus I find it impossible to use mailing lists through webmail. in reply to mothdust 22:29:08, 2012-02-29
@mothdust Yup! I think so anyway. I've kept reasonably good backups between systems. This is the closest I've come to losing it all so far. in reply to mothdust 22:32:39, 2012-02-29
