I have two Sarasota 515A vehicle detector units. Came from the traffic light control box I gutted years ago. 17:05:29, 2011-02-25
Seems they're filtered magnetic triggers. Just need a detector loop. Can switch 2x 150Watt loads. One double-pole. What to use for? 17:08:23, 2011-02-25
Have Omron timer relays too. And traffic lights. And 150Watt linear drives. 17:09:50, 2011-02-25
Not that I have much need to build my own traffic control system in the garden.. 17:11:05, 2011-02-25
Omron relays are 5, 30 and 60 second variable ones.. 17:13:42, 2011-02-25

Last night I uninstalled Minecraft. Today had use pangs. Went to workshop instead. Have built mobile robot base. #positivereinforcement 22:02:12, 2011-02-25

Twitter Updates for 24-02-2011

Signing off twitter for a few hours didn't help mood or productivity. 00:11:59, 2011-02-24
Today I got fuck-all done. Trying not to berate myself over it, but it's very easy to. 00:12:41, 2011-02-24
#Minecraft uninstalled, all save files & game data deleted. Fun, but too much of a time-sink. 01:38:09, 2011-02-24
I would say their "use powers for good" thing started more with the… (YouTube http://youtu.be/YewhNnI-BxQ?a) 13:47:42, 2011-02-24

MPI Media have had my timelapse video pulled from youtube for "copyright infringement" for using a friends IT Crowd remix as the music. 14:15:50, 2011-02-24
"Switch to new Twitter!" it says. I've switched like 4 times. You keep changing it back for me! 14:33:34, 2011-02-24
Feel sorry for the helicopter pilot. Like he missed his chance, but at least … (YouTube http://youtu.be/1RVWpzdFmCk?a) 16:13:08, 2011-02-24

@nerdsoup "cool" menthol? ;P in reply to nerdsoup 17:54:35, 2011-02-23
@pandalion Android sounds more adaptable. And less likely to auto-erase things on it the company doesn't approve of. in reply to pandalion 18:48:23, 2011-02-23
Ireland, I thought you didn't like England? Why are you copying all Englands bad ideas? 19:31:10, 2011-02-23
Have discovered that having Vodka and Orange Juice in the fridge means I can make Vodka & Orange. 19:31:46, 2011-02-23

@jackalesque Full body costumes. in reply to jackalesque 16:04:29, 2011-02-22
Updated insurance quote is in. Insurance payments will jump by a factor of 6. I flat can't afford that. 16:10:07, 2011-02-22
I'm essentially making fancy buttons. I can't afford £100 a month in insurance alone. 16:17:24, 2011-02-22
Business Link thought it was very high when I was quoted £15 a month! I can't afford this shit. 16:23:41, 2011-02-22
The new quotes have also invalidated the old policy I think, so kinda stuffed. 16:27:16, 2011-02-22
I.. have to go take a walk. 16:34:10, 2011-02-22
Back from walk. Resisted throwing myself in traffic. I think that's a good thing. 17:08:15, 2011-02-22
Only person I know in New Zealand has reported in safe & sound. 17:29:16, 2011-02-22
I need some booze. It may stop me thinking enough to actually get something done. 18:08:26, 2011-02-22

I've favourited a YouTube video — Stealing The ENTERPRISE http://youtu.be/cR3HdgxSkDI?a 20:37:35, 2011-02-22
One of the best and most memorable scenes in the entire franchise.(YouTube http://youtu.be/cR3HdgxSkDI?a) 20:41:29, 2011-02-22
@TimWakeham Figured it was intentional. Make it look like a shoddy bit of soulless junk. in reply to TimWakeham 20:59:47, 2011-02-22
Plenty of CF to SATA adapters, but no SATA to CF adapters. 21:00:34, 2011-02-22
CF to IDE tho has no electrical changes. And there are SATA to IDE adapters. Hmmm. 21:02:17, 2011-02-22
Ugh, still feeling dire. 21:04:59, 2011-02-22
@bobbyllew That 40yr time limit coincides with world food shortage timeline. As oil is used in making fertilizers sounds like perfect storm? in reply to bobbyllew 22:06:18, 2011-02-22

Pleasent drinks and chatter, preceeded by visit to Hackspace. 00:22:11, 2011-02-21
Oh, stall-current for these golf-caddy motors is scary. Estimated from graph at 55-60Amps. D: 00:23:07, 2011-02-21
@retallicka The hackspace or the Pembury? in reply to retallicka 00:23:54, 2011-02-21
@meekoblue Maybe? 180Watt motors. Gearbox puts out ~400rpm. in reply to meekoblue 00:34:51, 2011-02-21
I liked a YouTube video — Powerman 5000 – Bombshell http://youtu.be/CflEDeaTtJA?a 00:43:51, 2011-02-21
Idea: "Department of Corrections" org.uk website, listing all corrections & retractions made by newspapers & official orgs, daily. 13:38:27, 2011-02-21
Unpleasent dreams last night. Had been kidnapped, had elements of the physical weakness nightmares too. 13:44:57, 2011-02-21
@retallicka Oh wow. o_o in reply to retallicka 13:46:32, 2011-02-21
@retallicka Maybe you just need extra-tempting food? Was going to make bolognese tonight, can easily make enough for two. Interested? in reply to retallicka 14:09:29, 2011-02-21
Sounds like turbulence risk much greater than collision risk for London City Airport #cablecar idea. 14:33:11, 2011-02-21
@ShemaLioness What's up Shema? in reply to ShemaLioness 16:37:18, 2011-02-21
The Left 4 Dead 2 Demo is apparently taking up 38Gb of disk space. Something's wrong there. 17:14:21, 2011-02-21
Impressive for a demo I never actually installed. Windows Add/Remove says it's taking up 2Gb. Revo Uninstaller does not agree. 17:15:12, 2011-02-21
That's a few gigabytes cleared up. 17:37:36, 2011-02-21
Now got 70Gb free on the C-drive. Once I defrag it should be ok to go dual-boot again. 18:25:24, 2011-02-21
@ThrashWolf Aside from specialist pap like Quorn, a veggie diet *should* be cheaper than one with meat in. in reply to ThrashWolf 18:41:54, 2011-02-21
@ThrashWolf I recommend parsnips roast in honey and paprika. Or anything stuffed with caramelized onions. in reply to ThrashWolf 18:42:56, 2011-02-21
Intervention from the UN requested by Libyan delegation? Because the UN did so well over the Rwandan genocide in 1994, naturally. 19:17:12, 2011-02-21
@Lizardbeth Maybe something like Kickstarter would help? Get the money pledged up front, etc. in reply to Lizardbeth 20:29:37, 2011-02-21
@Lizardbeth Well, could always bundle both into one Kickstart? I woulda thought their rules would allow it. ;) in reply to Lizardbeth 20:36:05, 2011-02-21
Enough dalliances! Time for engineering! With food! #muahahaha 20:36:50, 2011-02-21
