Have chamomile tea, hot water bottle (instead of a girl), video encoding for upload, & a book on PIC programming. I want sleep. 01:35:23, 2011-03-02
Just used a highlighter pen in a textbook. Intentionally. #nevergoingtobealibrarian 01:43:43, 2011-03-02
I uploaded a YouTube video — Opening the treadmill motors and a rant about the robot base http://youtu.be/qz9AIhZK7HA?a 04:14:55, 2011-03-02
@MrCullen What idiot furrys decided to go on that show? I've seen the letters they wrote to get poly people on, they were awful. in reply to MrCullen 13:44:18, 2011-03-02
@Huskyteer Bomb-squads seem to be pretty universal these days. in reply to Huskyteer 13:59:39, 2011-03-02
@NixiePixel Good grief, hope you're okay & the damage isn't too bad. o_o in reply to NixiePixel 14:02:02, 2011-03-02
@Huskyteer Someone else said it was a bomb scare & they've been told not to leave their office. #TCR in reply to Huskyteer 14:10:47, 2011-03-02
@LupusLondonwolf Because of one free meal every 2 weeks? And that free food a fortnight causes violence? That's happy horse-shit. in reply to LupusLondonwolf 14:36:30, 2011-03-02
@LupusLondonwolf And they have no connection to the borough? Homeless people don't have a connection to anywhere! It's why they're HOMELESS. in reply to LupusLondonwolf 14:37:36, 2011-03-02
@LupusLondonwolf And making it illegal there will make them go elsewhere, where they'll also be made illegal with WM held as proof it works. in reply to LupusLondonwolf 14:51:27, 2011-03-02
@LupusLondonwolf Homelessness is not a choice, and not a state you should fear further punishment for happening to be in. in reply to LupusLondonwolf 14:53:02, 2011-03-02
@MrCullen Poly mailing list is rather PO'd about Peaches describing them as "not the sort of degenerates you'd expect". #unbiasedreporting in reply to MrCullen 15:27:24, 2011-03-02
@MrCullen I'm basically assuming it'll be the same as if Peaches had made a 45min show about each separate image on 4chan. #OMG #dire #fail in reply to MrCullen 15:29:32, 2011-03-02
I liked a YouTube video — PUNKS NOT DAD WITH LISA ROGERS – CAN'T GET IT UP http://youtu.be/Bvz0iLY3Nlw?a 15:32:51, 2011-03-02

@MrCullen Yeah, I usually delete without viewing these days. The thumbnails are enough. Some some are still fun. in reply to MrCullen 17:15:11, 2011-03-02
Had a vodka & orange. Going for a walk before it gets dark. 17:48:15, 2011-03-02
Used to be you'd watch scary videos on TV & know they wouldn't show it if someone actually got hurt. Not so on the internet. 19:57:10, 2011-03-02
@artsyhonker "The Lunch Box"? in reply to artsyhonker 20:08:38, 2011-03-02
I have been gifted alcohol. I'm going to see if I can get drunk and forget everything. 20:23:40, 2011-03-02
I don't think I'm going to go back to the LF meets. I dont enjoy them anymore & spend way too much drinking there just to make it tolerable. 20:37:56, 2011-03-02
@JezzKitty Behind the scenes.. http://j.mp/fXozS9 in reply to JezzKitty 21:06:15, 2011-03-02

Drunkie; the perfect time to install dual-boot Ubuntu. brb. 21:33:23, 2011-03-02
Defragging C drive to make space for dual-boot.. :P 22:06:53, 2011-03-02
Stupid I know, but does upset me when people I know draw pics of "all their friends" and I'm NEVER in them. 22:07:58, 2011-03-02
Just reinforces the feeling I'm an NPC in this world, a forgettable background character. 22:08:33, 2011-03-02

@retallicka I hadn't planned to, but I could if you're going along too? Sounds like a nice idea. in reply to retallicka 18:56:44, 2011-03-01
Next time I'll livestream. Recording to Youtube from webcam didn't save the video when the breaker tripped. 19:13:15, 2011-03-01
Long story short; motor went *bamf* and tripped the 40Amp breaker. Haven't managed to do that in a while. 19:13:56, 2011-03-01
Glad I coated many surfaces in the workshop with glow-paint. 19:14:47, 2011-03-01
The melted commutator cable might have something to do with the motor performance issues. 19:22:13, 2011-03-01
Opened both motors. Older own-brand one is SO nice inside. The rotor's even been balanced. New one's full of debris, glue & chipped magnet. 19:43:35, 2011-03-01
Got back from the ER about an hour ago. Doctor said it's likely skeletal-muscular pain. On painkillers. 23:31:10, 2011-03-01
Very cute doctor at least, and little waiting. 23:31:32, 2011-03-01

Must grab food. Then cut & drill some steel to make motor frame rigid. Then I can mount up the battery-box. 18:19:15, 2011-02-28
Not figured how to connect the steering tube to the satellite dish gearbox yet, but it'll come to me. 18:19:56, 2011-02-28
@ThrashWolf But can we ID them from one photo?? in reply to ThrashWolf 19:35:14, 2011-02-28
Category K vehicles require a full drivers licence. That's "pedestrian-controlled vehicles". Does that cover remote-control cars? No spec. 19:42:21, 2011-02-28
@Glinner Shouldn't have said that. The fan-girls will bombard you with "inspiring" m-preg fanfics now. in reply to Glinner 20:47:54, 2011-02-28

Okay, this will either work or really hurt… 22:08:42, 2011-02-28
Good god, why do cars use crimped-terminals? The connections are CRAP. 22:21:39, 2011-02-28
Okay, only bleeding a bit. But motor tested, battery box is working ok. Need securing more, but tomorrow. 22:22:36, 2011-02-28
@meekoblue Especially last few days. in reply to meekoblue 22:28:02, 2011-02-28
Added a tiller to the steering wheel. If I hook the motor controller back up now it's borderline drivable. 22:28:39, 2011-02-28
A health & safety nightmare, and possibly illegal on public land, but drivable. 22:29:41, 2011-02-28
10:30pm. Will put another coat of varnish on the horn-master and call it a night for a shower. 22:31:45, 2011-02-28
We're really going to need a side-gate soon. 22:33:28, 2011-02-28
"If an intruder hurts themselves the property owner is liable. It is in the owners best interest if the intruder is never heard of again." 22:37:45, 2011-02-28
I think that'd make a good sign for the side-gate. 22:37:58, 2011-02-28
