Feel like I should be apologizing to someone. But apologizing for expressing a feeling, even if it's upset someone? 13:34:05, 2011-03-07
Wow, catching NewsReal as it goes out for a change. 17:04:16, 2011-03-07
Actually got some money in my pocket! 17:15:08, 2011-03-07
Pancake day tomorrow. Wonder if @LondonHackSpace is making any pancakes for the open evening? 17:17:00, 2011-03-07
Back with sandwiches. 18:00:20, 2011-03-07
Is cold.. has gotten coffee. 18:34:28, 2011-03-07
Been warned there's a cold-snap coming. May make idea of cycling to the Hackspace tomorrow trickier for me. 18:37:40, 2011-03-07
Comparing to recent trips. Hackspace is 7.5miles. Recyc centre is 1.8miles. Shops is only a mile. 18:40:16, 2011-03-07
Hackspace is only 4 times more than the recyc centre. I can do that. 18:40:37, 2011-03-07
@pandalion You maniac! Pancakes are for tomorrow! in reply to pandalion 18:47:26, 2011-03-07
Found a smashed up cheapo wall-safe in the street. Grabbed it as a metal box. Bit concerned about traces of white powder inside it. :P 18:53:34, 2011-03-07
It's probably just plaster tho. 18:53:44, 2011-03-07
@JezzKitty Nice concepts! in reply to JezzKitty 19:05:42, 2011-03-07
Roller-skate wheels + angle-iron from mechanical bed = Trolley for HEAVY glow-discharge transformer 20:56:26, 2011-03-07
Ow my spine 21:00:39, 2011-03-07
Working for self-distraction only works for so long.. 21:05:37, 2011-03-07
I wonder how many other people have to clean their carpet with a chisel? #selfemployment 21:43:18, 2011-03-07
The safety chuck-guard on the lathe just shattered after a slight nudge. Glad I wasn't relying on that as a safety feature or anything. 21:46:11, 2011-03-07
A friend looks like she's got the all-clear after cancer treatments! :D 21:46:45, 2011-03-07
@GeorgeTakei @simonpegg A thousand fangirls are writing the slash-fiction at this very moment. in reply to GeorgeTakei 22:09:55, 2011-03-07
Odd that. I can think of at least 5 girls I know who write slash-fiction, but no guys, straight, bi or gay. 22:10:57, 2011-03-07
@TinyTeaDragon Thinking I should get a pack of disposable table-cloths or plastic dust sheets to keep resin off the bench. in reply to TinyTeaDragon 22:27:07, 2011-03-07
Trying to think if I know anyone who'se naturally very organised. I think I need some advice. 22:30:32, 2011-03-07
Getting organisational advice from a family of packrats isn't giving me useful feedback. 22:30:58, 2011-03-07
Brown residue on toy truck I found is thankfully staining from builders sand. Some kid using an impromptu sandpit I think. 22:41:03, 2011-03-07
I need one more cheapo CD drive motor. Got 3 identical so far. 23:25:06, 2011-03-07
@Lizardbeth "Week and a half??" "Yeah, that's totally what we originally agreed, says so on the ticket!" in reply to Lizardbeth 23:49:24, 2011-03-07
@Lizardbeth Anything to prevent you selling on the unused part of ticket? in reply to Lizardbeth 23:58:54, 2011-03-07

Back home~ 00:44:26, 2011-03-06
Sorry to say I was right and did not enjoy the meet, but it improved greatly with drinks with @retallicka 00:45:53, 2011-03-06
Being at the meet made me want to drink, and not in the good way. :/ 00:46:25, 2011-03-06
Almost didn't go to the Hackspace afterward, was feeling so off. But did, & ended up tinkering with the espresso machine for a few hours. 00:47:41, 2011-03-06
GOOD FOR ME: drinks with sparklingly intelligent women, throwing around random ideas, tinkering & solving problems. 00:49:17, 2011-03-06
BAD FOR ME: Shouting conversations with strangers & having to get drunk to make people ignoring, or relating all bad news at me, bearable. 00:50:46, 2011-03-06
(spoiler: There's two O-rings need replacing in the espresso machine. I'll bring them in next weekend.) 00:55:43, 2011-03-06
I felt more like myself at the space than the meet. Shame I didn't leave time to get to the Pembury too. Some mulled cider would be lush. 00:57:04, 2011-03-06
All good things really. Expectations proven, some good company & a good end to the day. 01:01:08, 2011-03-06
@Muzkip I'm never going to ask to use your phone. o_o in reply to Muzkip 01:38:20, 2011-03-06
@tajasel Can't they have both? :3 in reply to tajasel 01:58:42, 2011-03-06

@retallicka Maybe, or maybe just new gears with different ratios? in reply to retallicka 13:26:30, 2011-03-06
@retallicka Off the frame?? Umm, shorten the chain and get some retention-washers? Got a picture of the drop-outs? in reply to retallicka 14:13:31, 2011-03-06
@retallicka http://hubsmall.blogspot.com/2011/01/hub-axle-washer-safety-action.html I should have some spares. in reply to retallicka 16:47:36, 2011-03-06
@Hairyears How about food? #facetious in reply to Hairyears 19:40:06, 2011-03-06
Dismantling some rollerskates I found. 19:47:03, 2011-03-06
Well the old bike-hub/wheels sold for £4. Nothing else has any bids. :P 20:11:50, 2011-03-06
Well, except sisters treadmill, but that ends in a week. 20:12:24, 2011-03-06
Starting to agree the little "stray" cat that lives in our garden is pregnant. She does just get big suddenly at times too tho. :/ 21:00:08, 2011-03-06
@Muzkip That does look rather spiffing o_o; in reply to Muzkip 21:01:44, 2011-03-06
Never quite know if whether to tweet certain things. Want to make a note of something happening, but I guess it's not always appropriate. 21:13:07, 2011-03-06
Ffffffffffffffuck. >_< 21:48:32, 2011-03-06
Ow ow ow. 22:39:56, 2011-03-06
Web-radio's started playing blues music. No, I'm not going to get mopey. Changing the channel. >:/ 22:45:19, 2011-03-06
Not without whiskey, sunglasses and a rocking chair anyway. :P 22:46:06, 2011-03-06
Shoutcast, why is Steppenwolf listed under "dubstep"? 22:47:37, 2011-03-06
Goa psytrance, that'll do for the mo. Will head in and shower soon anyway. 22:48:34, 2011-03-06
Closing up, shower time. 23:28:48, 2011-03-06

@JezzKitty *hugs to you too* I'm sorry it's all sucky hon. Holiday time for you! in reply to JezzKitty 00:19:54, 2011-03-05
Drying out, pondering things. Technical things, not emotional things. 00:20:27, 2011-03-05
I also have chamomile tea again. 00:20:51, 2011-03-05

Shower time, then heading out 12:46:16, 2011-03-05
While shaving I realized if I lose some weight, I might be able to age like Christopher Walken. I'd be alright with that. #agewithoutrhythm 13:28:18, 2011-03-05

Have realized I can't afford to leave the house more than once a week. 00:05:13, 2011-03-03
I can't afford a relationship even if one was available to me. 00:05:36, 2011-03-03
I can't run a business and I can't provide for myself. Useless loner manchild. 00:06:15, 2011-03-03
Can't sleep. Keep tossing & turning. Have chamomile tea again now. Chest feels very tight. 02:10:06, 2011-03-03
Suddenly seeing the growth-hormone treatment thru my teens for what it was; cosmetic medicine. Experimental too. First generation on it. 02:12:17, 2011-03-03
Also "Have you tried medication" sounds a lot like "Please take some pills so we don't have to listen to your problems anymore" 02:15:31, 2011-03-03
@julesmattsson Think a guitarist could figure out what he was playing by looking at his fingerwork? Suspicion it's something in bad taste. in reply to julesmattsson 02:27:42, 2011-03-03
