After waiting a couple of hours, mother & sister decided they weren't going to go to recyc centre too. Begin rush to bike over on my own. 15:35:18, 2011-02-05
Got soft-close drawer, ikea kitchen hanger rail, brass draw pull, plate, auger. Also found couple of bike wheels on way home. Hub geared. 15:44:27, 2011-02-05
@meekoblue Friday Hill recycling centre. 10-2 fri & sat they have guys reselling choice items from there & nearby centres. V cheap. in reply to meekoblue 15:45:37, 2011-02-05
Now psyching myself up to check email. Fearing bad news. 15:46:11, 2011-02-05
@meekoblue I need to build an electric tractor so I can haul home some big bits. If I see a thing in the scrap, I can still ask a price. in reply to meekoblue 15:54:29, 2011-02-05
Old wheels I picked up; Sturmey-Archer, 1948, Model "AM". Apparently that's rare, from old "club bikes" 20:32:17, 2011-02-05
Pedals I grabbed are scrap. Bits missing. But one pair will be handy for art-bike. I need a crank-puller. 20:32:57, 2011-02-05
Same page has informed me of the gear-spec on mums old bike. V handy. 20:45:23, 2011-02-05
Time to head in and shower.. 22:05:27, 2011-02-05

I liked a YouTube video — Minecraft Note Blocks – Portal Still Alive (Full version) http://youtu.be/qG9SPywEGm4?a 00:16:33, 2011-02-04

Time for bed. Before 2am! Panier bags loaded with tools, ready to hit the recycling centre in the morning. Hope I find some good bits! 01:39:18, 2011-02-04
Received a message that suggests the UKFur shop I bought from Tigerfire doesn't have the rights to use the image afterall. 14:07:27, 2011-02-04
If it's true and can't be sorted out, I'll have a grand of stock I'll be unable to sell. This would mean the end of that. 14:09:22, 2011-02-04
@JezzKitty Congratulations Jezz! Good luck! :D in reply to JezzKitty 14:26:50, 2011-02-04
@meekoblue Not the name, the logo. And no one seems to remember who made it. Was previously told it was given away, so public domain. in reply to meekoblue 14:28:39, 2011-02-04
@meekoblue But now suggestions it was non-profit only licence or something. So gotta hunt down original artist to see. :P in reply to meekoblue 14:30:23, 2011-02-04
@meekoblue That's the point. Being told it was more like a non-commercial licence to the community. But don't know for sure as yet. in reply to meekoblue 14:39:19, 2011-02-04
@NiyohBeast Don't recall the thread. Maybe something to do with the old website dev work. Will check. in reply to NiyohBeast 14:59:16, 2011-02-04
Original file has no signiture in it. Forum search turned up nothing. So will have to ask around. 15:14:43, 2011-02-04
@Alfa_fox True, but I've had my cage rattled a bit here. Suspect it's the clash between little-spoken verbal agreements and actual law. in reply to Alfa_fox 15:28:14, 2011-02-04
@Alfa_fox Checked the files source. There's not even any name registered in the software stamp. Playing cautious, but biz as usual til then. in reply to Alfa_fox 15:30:04, 2011-02-04
Still, some good news. Journey to recyc centre went ok, bought a leather mallet & a cross-peen hammer for 20p. 15:31:56, 2011-02-04
Got a bag of bits thrown in too. Bolts, phenolic boards, copper welding supplies (I think). Couldn't get at lawnmower with useful pulleys. 15:33:44, 2011-02-04
Time to post some orders.. 15:48:50, 2011-02-04

@tajasel That's pretty much my plan for wednesday. in reply to tajasel 21:34:49, 2011-02-04
2nd one tonight. IMs from people no longer on contact lists telling me they just took IQ tests "here", and natters at me. *blocks* 22:45:12, 2011-02-04
No link is provided so either it's a malformed virus or Miranda is immune. 22:45:52, 2011-02-04
Or maybe Miranda's broken. No one's replying to any of my messages tonight. :P 22:47:19, 2011-02-04
It looks like I might actually win this treadmill! Oh christ, does anyone have a car and/or live near Thamesmead??? D: 23:06:26, 2011-02-04
@tajasel Airhockey! :D in reply to tajasel 23:25:57, 2011-02-04
Sniped on the treadmill 2 seconds from the end. Kinda relieved. 23:47:23, 2011-02-04

@anasqtiesh "Protester" seems to be wearing a stethoscope. A commenter suggests he's actually getting medical treatment for tear-gas? 00:34:22, 2011-02-03
Dammit, my slippers are falling apart. 00:41:40, 2011-02-03
@anasqtiesh Perhaps they do in protests? (Padding, etc) But just playing devils advocate here until more pics of this come up. in reply to anasqtiesh 01:01:35, 2011-02-03

@blueyp Yes to the "let's go", but they should start dropping in with the warp-pipe noise. :3 in reply to blueyp 21:33:16, 2011-02-03
Heading in to pack up some orders for shipping! Also made note of shelf sizes for hot-box. Recyc centre again tomorrow. May find some. 21:43:31, 2011-02-03

Back home, had tea. The bike came through for me without much advance planning. Additional bike confidence regained. 01:41:58, 2011-02-02
Hackerspace was fun. Geeked out a bit, saw some friends & helped ID a transformer. Never seen a laser tube as tall as me before. 01:44:28, 2011-02-02
Oh yes, and sucessfully got I-beam home. It's why I was late to the Hackerspace open evening. 01:44:59, 2011-02-02

Put my dressing gown on over the towel around me shoulders. Caught myself in the mirror. I looked fat. Fat and old. #nearly30 00:20:17, 2011-02-01
Workshop time was productive. Multiple orders cast. Casting supplies running low, mould-making supplies ok. Some development progress. 00:21:42, 2011-02-01
Will have travelcard tomorrow. Collecting an I-beam from Clapham Junction & going to the Hackerspace open evening at 7pm. Anyone around? 00:24:17, 2011-02-01

Insulting that big companies bitch about their copyrights being infringed, but feel fine about ripping off those of the individual. 13:10:15, 2011-02-01
