@PeglaSkunk Sad no one knew to cover him to douse the flames. Did he survive? in reply to PeglaSkunk 14:06:22, 2011-04-06
@Sangluna Maybe it wasn't a real debt collector and they meant "Are you THE mark?" in reply to Sangluna 14:28:56, 2011-04-06
The kittens are being adorable. We put up the parasol though because they were all panting. 14:30:54, 2011-04-06
RAM upgraded, graphics card upgraded. Next, hard disk arrangements. 14:58:27, 2011-04-06
@tajasel I can think of one! But you really should use alginate instead. Plaster can get blisteringly hot when setting. o_o in reply to tajasel 15:17:47, 2011-04-06
Old workshop PC's stripped to the bones and then some. If I drill out the rivets tho, may be able to use mainboard tray for new desk plans. 15:18:48, 2011-04-06
I remembered wrong tho. Old mainboard has dead PRIMARY IDE, not Secondary. 15:23:11, 2011-04-06
Going from PC133 RAM to PC2700. Mmmmmm. 15:23:59, 2011-04-06

"Where did I put the registration key?" is not a fun question. 18:26:25, 2011-04-06
Ubuntu: If I do a file search and change to "list view", I don't expect the browser to have to search for them all over again to do it. 19:31:18, 2011-04-06
Can't find the bloody licence key anywhere. Copying off the whole windows directory to run key decryption on it. 21:28:53, 2011-04-06
Fuck it, this machine's getting XP home and it'll like it. 21:32:52, 2011-04-06
I liked a YouTube video — Doug Stanhope on Presciption Drugs http://youtu.be/kKyMvjPJdtM?a 21:39:28, 2011-04-06
@meekoblue Dunno. Will find out in a half hour once it's installed. Took forever to find the disk. in reply to meekoblue 21:59:53, 2011-04-06
@TinyTeaDragon I'd not heard of him before. Does seem a bit grating, but the skit was funny. in reply to TinyTeaDragon 23:20:20, 2011-04-06
I did not want to spend all of today farting around with an old computer, even if it will be very useful. 23:55:44, 2011-04-06
Thanks to DIY and PCs, I no longer believe there is such a thing as just a "small job". 23:59:56, 2011-04-06

@Muzkip *hugs* I actually want to go to sleep, but my hair's not dry enough yet :( in reply to Muzkip 02:56:00, 2011-04-05
@pandalion Yes, so would I. Am being bashed in head by dynamo stators. ;_; in reply to pandalion 03:31:45, 2011-04-05
@pandalion *hug* I'm starting to drift off now. But if you do head in, feel free to drop in for lamb stew! Finished making it at 00:30 D: in reply to pandalion 03:52:26, 2011-04-05
Beddingtime. Thing of note: Disk motor has 31 poles. Useless for re-winding into generator. Easier to grab old flat SturmyArcher dynohub. 03:56:20, 2011-04-05
@pandalion Hehe! Feel free! Or even lunch/dinner. Just gimmie a phonecall first! ^_^; Sleeping now! xx in reply to pandalion 04:01:13, 2011-04-05

Police officers in Ireland threatening to rape two women if they don't give their address http://www.wsm.ie/c/garda-corrib-rape-pipeline 14:14:59, 2011-04-05
I like the way the Irish police spokesman calls rape-threats only a "derogatory remark". 14:17:32, 2011-04-05

@bigmouthedwoman Go in next week; "Got offered a job overseas. I need to swallow these bundles of white powder." See if they sign you off. in reply to bigmouthedwoman 15:43:50, 2011-04-05
Anyone tell me about how large a motorbike alternator is? Or specifically the stator? Or very specifically, the stator for a Suzuki GSXR? 16:17:21, 2011-04-05
LJ is being flaky. Have you backed up your LJ yet? 18:11:52, 2011-04-05
The Twitter digest script is now doing it at random intervals. :P Guess the wordpress update really didn't agree with it. 18:27:17, 2011-04-05
Tried altering the settings to see if it gets better or worse. 18:29:18, 2011-04-05
I doubt I'm the only person who on seeing a hipster girl in glasses looks for lensing effects to tell if they're plate glass too. 18:33:44, 2011-04-05
So exhausted today for some reason. Guess it's time for coffee & laundry. 18:51:41, 2011-04-05
Free PC has 4 blown caps hidden under the CPU cooling cowl. Shouldn't be a hard solder job tho. 19:38:15, 2011-04-05
Soldered replacement capacitors to the Dell 4550 motherboard. Let's see if I've killed it or not.. 21:56:04, 2011-04-05
Green lights so far. Next a HDD then memtest while I hoover up all this bloody fluff! 22:06:51, 2011-04-05
Seems to be working! Booted to Windows once. Running memtest. 22:34:17, 2011-04-05
Ah. I do need to change the CMOS battery tho. 22:35:24, 2011-04-05
@ashens I prefer Livestream itself. The browser-based option keeps my CPU use low so I can stream graphics work & still listen to mp3s. in reply to ashens 23:31:28, 2011-04-05

Painkillers & tea. That Belgian beer sits in your head & kicks the walls if you let it bring friends. 00:50:09, 2011-04-04
Or maybe just dehydrated. 00:50:17, 2011-04-04

Time to grab a snack & coffee. All set up ready for a big set of casting! 15:39:08, 2011-04-04
Ebay winner of the car seats; sent them message saying would like cash on collection. First thing they do? Send it by paypal. #pointlessfee 17:11:10, 2011-04-04

new formulae elastomer’s a bit beige/brown. having to double pigment levels to get close to original. 18:23:34, 2011-04-04
shopping list; polypurge , pint cups, 4″ velcro 18:41:55, 2011-04-04
The flu has definitely passed. Think my throat’s still sore because I’ve blood-blistered bits of it from coughing/hocking. Bruised palette. 20:11:07, 2011-04-04
@bobbyllew Wasn’t the batmobile sorta an electric car? “Atomic *batteries* to power, turbines to speed..” etc? Or at least a hybrid. in reply to bobbyllew 20:29:46, 2011-04-04
What’s a good price for having wheels built? Been quoted £65ea for some with some good looking alloy rims & my own hubs. 21:00:04, 2011-04-04
@AdriOfTheDead It was! It appeared on YouTube like 2weeks after the strip. It got pulled a couple weeks later. in reply to AdriOfTheDead 21:30:21, 2011-04-04
@AdriOfTheDead The best complaint was; “WTF with the speech preview button?? It mad me sound like an IDIOT!” in reply to AdriOfTheDead 21:31:21, 2011-04-04
Should be cooking but did “one last thing” in the workshop. For the last half hour. 22:26:52, 2011-04-04
Bike frame is 255mm stem to stem, so should take 26″ wheels. Yay! Rear spacing’s 134mm. Hub fits but 4mm off-centre. 22:28:23, 2011-04-04
Not convinced the hub’s gear is on the right way around. Looks like it would foul the shifter cable. Less than 1mm clearance. 22:37:26, 2011-04-04
Frame’s very stiff. Shallow ritchly drop-outs. If I pack it by 4mm, worried it might pop out. Might have to move 2 cable guides too. 22:38:21, 2011-04-04
Hmph. Or it could be they expect the shifter cable to be positioned within the chain loop. Modding time ahead I guess! 22:42:00, 2011-04-04
@tajasel Or put your brandy (glass) in the frozen peas! Be like an edible champagne bucket! in reply to tajasel 22:42:46, 2011-04-04

@pandalion Had to go look up the Tweet when you mentioned it tho. I wouldn't say unsexy. Just geekgirls can pull of regular as sexy as well. in reply to pandalion 00:48:14, 2011-04-03
@Evilsquirrel123 That sounded way too like "Bright Eyes" by Simon & Garfunkle. I started welling up for a sec. in reply to Evilsquirrel123 02:06:13, 2011-04-03

Thread update and private message notification on the #UKFur forums is absolutely borked. Email shirt orders only now. 02:25:38, 2011-04-03
Pleasantly drunk after a busy day. Shopping done, free computer salvaged, ebay item handed off, PLUS an extra item for nearly same £ again! 23:19:59, 2011-04-03

Debating the Iron Artist thing. Sketches I can do. It's inks & colours where I slow down currently. So £5 a sketch is doable. Maybe £7? Hm. 00:23:13, 2011-04-02
OMG. Such a simple way of handing inventory in the webshop just came to me! Cast-items as backorder only. Then I make them on demand. :D 00:35:23, 2011-04-02
@Chandraken I love it when that happens. :) in reply to Chandraken 00:52:24, 2011-04-02
Have gotten redbush tea, and a clear bed. Will draw a bit then sleep. 01:18:53, 2011-04-02
Researching, I think my custom bicycle could be called an ultralight roadster. Or possibly a utility bike? Maybe even a road tourer. 01:49:55, 2011-04-02
@retallicka We know you are. ;) Well done! :D in reply to retallicka 15:20:24, 2011-04-02
