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
Vinyl gloves arrived! Thank goodness.. 08:22:02, 2011-10-24
Wish I knew what the hell's happened to my 16mm spade bit. 08:29:59, 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
@NiyohBeast Minding Fatkraken's stall and getting some space on it in repayment. in reply to NiyohBeast 10:19:27, 2011-10-24
@NiyohBeast If it's like last expo they'll be one tail left by saturday lunchtime. in reply to NiyohBeast 10:33:25, 2011-10-24
Recommendations for energy-music? 10:54:59, 2011-10-24
Time for me to live up to my family name and face Full Life Consequences. 11:20:36, 2011-10-24
I uploaded a @YouTube video http://t.co/mjKlfgqv Workshop webcam – Rotocaster v1.2 15:39:49, 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
Eyes are stinging from the tired 23:15:26, 2011-10-24

Twitter Updates for 23-10-2011

I'd like to write a constitution for the UK. Before the government fuck it up. And then get everyone to sign it. All 60~million UK citizens. 01:02:14, 2011-10-23
You see there's only one option other than the dismal slog through another dark age to a new society & that's to grow a new one from within. 01:04:07, 2011-10-23
@MichaelClear I'm pretty sure the hoverboards weren't until 2015. We still have a chance! in reply to MichaelClear 01:38:25, 2011-10-23
Unless you can FLAWLESSLY predict the future, you can only operate as though free-will exists. 01:43:59, 2011-10-23
I'm of the opinion that those who don't think we should fight climate change believe they're too well off to starve when all the crops die. 02:09:10, 2011-10-23
@kitsunesoftware I don't know which tweet you're replying to. in reply to kitsunesoftware 13:53:33, 2011-10-23
@PennyRed I can't hear that phrase without thinking of it in the voice of a Top Of The Pops countdown. New in this week..! in reply to PennyRed 13:56:02, 2011-10-23
I'm surprised we still have internet today. I though the phone was being cut-off yesterday. 14:01:33, 2011-10-23
@kitsunesoftware Ok. Not sure how that ties into the free market tho, only delusion on their part. in reply to kitsunesoftware 14:20:32, 2011-10-23
One small job done. Cleaned fluf out of mobile phone. Headphone socket now seems to work again. 17:47:34, 2011-10-23
Get the feeling we've chosen the right time to change ISPs. Connection is flaky as hell last few days. 18:09:14, 2011-10-23
Heated cabinet now has proper toggle switches and indicator lights. :) 20:02:07, 2011-10-23
Food break. 20:02:31, 2011-10-23
@GraafenBlackpaw It's because it messes with their set perceptions. Like relabelling a door with the wrong sign. Best I can assume anyway. in reply to GraafenBlackpaw 21:01:29, 2011-10-23
@GraafenBlackpaw Basically it confuses them, and those liable to complain about it think their confusion comes before others happiness. in reply to GraafenBlackpaw 21:02:22, 2011-10-23
@swaldman But going from being an Islamic state to an Islamic state again makes it, like, a DOUBLE Islamic state! D: #DailyMail in reply to swaldman 21:03:49, 2011-10-23
@dingybatty If you were watching the new FIM episode, then yes. If in day-to-day life, possibly not. in reply to dingybatty 21:06:41, 2011-10-23
@GraafenBlackpaw I'm inclined to think it's actually just good writers taking advantage of existing events. in reply to GraafenBlackpaw 21:07:19, 2011-10-23
The Arduino board still lives! Now testing servos.. 21:35:25, 2011-10-23
Motor control's working! Okay, let's see if it still works hooked up to big motor & battery.. 23:00:09, 2011-10-23
Sucess! Controller can run a drill motor from the van battery. Now to re-jog the Arduino code for two controls & make safer wiring. 23:14:31, 2011-10-23

@sevenhelz I totally missed my calling in Marketing. in reply to sevenhelz 00:59:20, 2011-10-22
Ah, I didn't record a Friday Update. was too otherwise occupied to remember. Tomorrow evening maybe. 01:00:59, 2011-10-22
Okay, let's upload a couple of progress photos.. 01:11:47, 2011-10-22
Why is *Volvo* using *Twilight* as promotion material?? http://t.co/JhKuua9Q 01:15:03, 2011-10-22
As best I can see it's because Volvos can also be used to move vampires around as well as humans. Why didn't Joss Whedon think of this? 01:15:52, 2011-10-22
This is probably why Trainspotting was sponsored by Wedgewood. Because teacups can also be used to hold heroin. 01:18:11, 2011-10-22
New blog post: Expo's a week away! http://t.co/FpbqFOIX 01:47:55, 2011-10-22
I think I'm going to fetch that little bottle of mead I was gifted out of the fridge. <3 01:59:48, 2011-10-22
Oh my god.. 02:05:12, 2011-10-22
..this mead is heavenly! <3 <3 <3 02:05:57, 2011-10-22
I will now commence purring like a cat~ *sip* 02:06:29, 2011-10-22
Just saw trailer for new WoW race. I don't play the game, but can't help but think the next addition will be Duckburg. 02:21:30, 2011-10-22
May or may not have internet tomorrow as it's when BT said their service would end. Should be reconnected Tuesday. 02:28:55, 2011-10-22
Hoping it lasts til 1pm tho. 02:29:17, 2011-10-22
The realisation that it wasn't my hands-free headphones but the headphone socket on my phone that was broken.. 12:17:08, 2011-10-22
Will see if I can open my phone up to clean it before I head out.. 12:17:46, 2011-10-22
Mind you, got an ear full of cotton wool and earex, so not much good just now. 12:18:20, 2011-10-22
It's the law. Just following orders. Both excellent ways of avoiding responsibility for unfair actions. 13:53:48, 2011-10-22
Likewise "I don't have time to clear the litter trays" would have been a good way to avoid being late leaving the house. Need a shower now. 14:08:36, 2011-10-22
Finally getting to leave the house. Only 2hrs late. 14:35:21, 2011-10-22
@ChaseLioness I didn't know Code's real name was Jon. *rimshot* in reply to ChaseLioness 20:31:12, 2011-10-22
@blueybirdy Yay! I wonder who it was? :) in reply to blueybirdy 20:31:45, 2011-10-22
Home. Tired. Fair bit poorer. London is pricey. 20:32:35, 2011-10-22

It's a humblingly clear night outside. 01:02:10, 2011-10-21
Tempted to keep a lot of these unicorn horns for myself. Tie them all to a hat, aussie-style, go to PolyDay as a unicorn hunter. 01:53:09, 2011-10-21
@GeorgeTakei I presume you've seen this? http://t.co/myoFDhtl :) in reply to GeorgeTakei 03:12:28, 2011-10-21
It's been a productive and educational nights casting. Will see what arrives in the post tomorrow now. 04:00:29, 2011-10-21
Motor controllers and rigid foam have arrived this morning. No sign of the vinyl gloves though. 14:39:14, 2011-10-21
@ChaseLioness 9! 12! 81! in reply to ChaseLioness 16:12:05, 2011-10-21
@CassieReynart I hope they were fucking apologetic! D: in reply to CassieReynart 16:25:20, 2011-10-21
@ashens Yep. I'll be on a stall selling horns. in reply to ashens 16:31:58, 2011-10-21
@ashens Monstery horns. though I suppose you *could* fill them with cream too. in reply to ashens 16:50:34, 2011-10-21
Okay, I think that's the last of my accounts transferred away from the old apwl23 email account. Phone & ISP switches tomorrow. 17:15:28, 2011-10-21
Also love how Barclays email unsubscribe asks to leave *60 days* for the request to take effect. 17:17:14, 2011-10-21
okay, got some horns filled with rigid foam. Silicone hadn't cured, so leaving workshop to heat up for overnight. Bed early tonight. 23:08:48, 2011-10-21

Had a cool idea for a costume using backlit fur. PWM driven LEDs would open some cool options. 00:06:13, 2011-10-20
@GraafenBlackpaw WHAT? WHAT? I… WHAT?? in reply to GraafenBlackpaw 00:37:01, 2011-10-20
@GraafenBlackpaw However I think we've found the only movie property that could be IMPROVED by Ewe Boll. in reply to GraafenBlackpaw 00:39:30, 2011-10-20
Still in the workshop. Uuuuugh. 01:45:10, 2011-10-20
@sevenhelz That's raising the bar of shitty breakups D: I'm very sorry to hear it :( in reply to sevenhelz 01:58:37, 2011-10-20
@sevenhelz Fuck, you can WALK that easily. I know I've not known you long, but you deserve WAY better treatment than that! >:( 02:05:07, 2011-10-20
Note to self: Polyester resin will dissolve my digital scales. D: 02:15:51, 2011-10-20
@sevenhelz Good grief. Even knowing that he did nothing? What a spectacular ass. :( *hugs for you* in reply to sevenhelz 02:18:46, 2011-10-20
@sevenhelz Even a raging argument is something. But no closure at all is just torturous. :( in reply to sevenhelz 02:19:24, 2011-10-20
@sevenhelz Wish I could give you a real hug. :( in reply to sevenhelz 02:26:21, 2011-10-20
How the ever-loving fuck can I have lost these moulds? I only made them a week ago. 02:44:20, 2011-10-20
Most people are not soldering at 4:25am. However it's now too "late" to sleep without fucking up sleeping pattern for a week. 04:25:34, 2011-10-20
fuck it, if I'm going to pass out it's going to be indoors 04:52:51, 2011-10-20
Awake in time to see we've been outbid on a vacuum pump again. 12:32:42, 2011-10-20
Pump auction over. Ended £100 more than the budget allowed. Will keep my eye out for others. 13:34:11, 2011-10-20
Currently there's no suitable pumps with a start bid less than about twice the total budget. 13:34:42, 2011-10-20
Okay, if I'm going to do these foam-filled pads, I'm going to have to make a shell mould. Not filling very evenly. 15:12:22, 2011-10-20
@warrenellis I dunno, six seconds of silence is pretty avant-garde. in reply to warrenellis 15:21:51, 2011-10-20
okay, another layer of silicone onto the horns and hand-cast a whole lot of the two other moulds. 15:27:19, 2011-10-20
Twitter, stop telling me I "already tweeted that" every time I tweet. 15:27:48, 2011-10-20
Considering Gaddafi seemed to have a mental breakdown, death's probably the best outcome. A trial would have been dismissed as a result. 15:35:19, 2011-10-20
Oh dear. Looks like #Gadaffi was captured alive, then beaten to death. 17:28:04, 2011-10-20
Or rather at least someone who *looks* like Gadaffi was. 17:30:08, 2011-10-20
While I *can* watch the footage of someone being beaten to death, I'd rather not, no matter what they did. 17:31:19, 2011-10-20
Need more coffee 18:58:54, 2011-10-20
