An accomplishment! All old static description copied over into new Homestead Space wiki. Just the pics to go. 01:25:09, 2010-09-24
Homestead Space is/was the furry writing group that's been running for the last.. decade? On and off, anyway. 01:26:00, 2010-09-24
The new Mozilla Thunderbird is weird-looking. 11:23:20, 2010-09-24
@sorvall_sergal Seems to be working fine. The tabbed browsing will take getting used to. I keep going to close an email & doing the prog. in reply to sorvall_sergal 11:27:57, 2010-09-24
Nothing like some passive-aggressiveness in your inbox to start the day off. :P 11:28:33, 2010-09-24
My mill chuck just arrived in the post! It's the wrong bloody size. ER25 instead of ER32. Annoyed email sent. 11:48:11, 2010-09-24
@sorvall_sergal I'm talking about Thunderbird, not FireFox :P in reply to sorvall_sergal 12:04:32, 2010-09-24
@BaiSheep Congrats! Where at? :) in reply to BaiSheep 13:01:05, 2010-09-24

The rotary dial phone I found yesterday still works! Unlike the old one. May now follow up electro-mechanical tone-dial conversion idea. 18:23:10, 2010-09-25
When all you have is an Arduino, every problem looks like a hack-a-day project. 19:07:57, 2010-09-25
Watching video of Akihabara. Inspiring quantities of components. Converting prices tho, comparable with ebay here. 19:30:41, 2010-09-25
@AdriOfTheDead He was totally just doing it as a favour to you I'm sure! Huffy-fitt in 3.. 2.. 1.. in reply to AdriOfTheDead 19:32:06, 2010-09-25
Cute tiny dog robot followed by terrifying anthro cat robot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=958sneJTLQw#t=2m07s 19:39:10, 2010-09-25
The scary bit is it's silently turned to look at the speaker while the camera's off it. o_o 19:39:56, 2010-09-25
Haagen Daaz caramel icecream, followed by the lamb stew. My priorities are FINE. 20:08:00, 2010-09-25
"I feel like an old detective!" – My brother, using the new rotary-dial phone 21:02:15, 2010-09-25
@Muzkip Yikes, how come? in reply to Muzkip 21:32:07, 2010-09-25

I need a snugglebuddy. Anyone out there willing and nice to hold? Can behave myself too. :P 01:00:24, 2010-09-23
This looks excellent if it becomes more than just a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm5sEaC5tBA #HalfLife 11:48:18, 2010-09-23

Can you set up an OS to recognise a specific USB drive, upload a set file to it, and auto-disconnect it again? 19:57:53, 2010-09-23
Something like that would be ideal for instant backups of files. Imagine it would be easier to implement under Linux tho. 19:59:51, 2010-09-23

How about a motion-chasing explosive mini-robot? Throw a bunch into a building, let them clear it out. Scary premise. 01:40:37, 2010-09-22
T-shirt idea: "I've been to Scunthorpe. Apparently." 09:01:48, 2010-09-22
Disclaimer: I've never been to Scunthorpe. 09:02:06, 2010-09-22
Confuzzled Dealers reg now opens on Monday. I can't get the cash together by then. So, no confuzz for me next year. 14:07:04, 2010-09-22
@song_in_heart Had better ones. in reply to song_in_heart 14:10:46, 2010-09-22
My personal financial accounts are hopelessly messed up now. All the cash spends are lost track of. 14:11:52, 2010-09-22
I feel like Uwe Boll. Like everything I touch turns to shit. 14:13:38, 2010-09-22
@song_in_heart I want a sense of accomplishment, rather than time wasted locked thinking.. things. in reply to song_in_heart 14:26:27, 2010-09-22
@song_in_heart BTW, mums old bike: saddle height is 95cm. Taller than my own bike. in reply to song_in_heart 14:40:47, 2010-09-22
Having a hot chocolate. 14:41:15, 2010-09-22
Also, 6mm collet has arrived. No sign of the chuck yet. 14:42:13, 2010-09-22
@ThrashWolf You heard we like Tweeting, so you put a Tweet in your Tweet? :P in reply to ThrashWolf 14:47:26, 2010-09-22
@TinyTeaDragon There may be a chance yet, but guarantees just went out the window. :/ in reply to TinyTeaDragon 15:06:42, 2010-09-22

The bottle of rum & fig aperitif isn't to my tastes. Having coffee instead. 23:31:46, 2010-09-21
Feeling rather unappealing/unattractive tonight. It's nice when folk talk about your good personality, but when it's ALL that's mentioned.. 23:39:41, 2010-09-21
Occasional "Cute". Cute=adorable=childish=weak=physically unappealing 23:41:56, 2010-09-21
