Also, wtf Twitter? The update window lags behind the keyboard AND makes my music skip?? It's actually peaking my 2.2Ghz CPU to type!! 15:07:13, 2010-10-07
Cleaning up a bit today. Got to fit a mattress under my bed if I want to keep it for guests. 17:08:27, 2010-10-07
Also means I'll dig out a spare UPS and computer that may relocate to the workshop if I can find an XP license. 17:09:04, 2010-10-07

Also; use fibre-optic weave as matting in fibre-glass skins to create smart-housings for devices and craft. 02:04:26, 2010-10-06
Lace resin with particles that react to additional stimuli for extra feedback. 02:12:39, 2010-10-06
