Chilli juice in the eye isn't fun. The potato-cakes were rather nice. Bit like onion bajis. 04:07:59, 2010-08-26
I support the @Wikileaks concept, but revealing witnesses to crimes contact details & civilian collaborators in war-zones is irresponsible. 13:14:30, 2010-08-26
Anyone got experience with OpenOffice Base? Or good tutorial links? 13:39:26, 2010-08-26
@drewjensen Base tutorials with a bias toward an inventory-management setup would be good. Paper one's totally out of hand. in reply to drewjensen 16:11:03, 2010-08-26
@Albrecht_Fur Thankyou, that's an interesting development! Homebrew auto-change toolheads should come next then. in reply to Albrecht_Fur 16:14:13, 2010-08-26
Thankyou, and goodnight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86wKWjvUD50 23:30:02, 2010-08-26
I seem to have acquired another lady on the dildo-testing team. I should really try & get some (gay?) men too, for a proper data sample. 23:54:44, 2010-08-26
That's the *provisional* testing team. Will depend on prototype concept working. 23:55:28, 2010-08-26
@NiyohBeast I think I've got an improved design. Needs prototypes & testing against control version tho. Will blog about build progress. in reply to NiyohBeast 23:58:58, 2010-08-26

Oooh, might have a red panda crashing with me for a few days. 00:27:00, 2010-08-25
A drill chuck is not suitable for milling with. I'll have to buy a proper mill chuck. That means a several suitable collets too. 15:37:52, 2010-08-25
Estimated population of Iraq & Afghanistan about 60m. So thats about 0.2% of their civ pop dead from the war. That'd be 1.2m dead if US pop. 16:02:54, 2010-08-25
@ThrashWolf Time to ebay for a spare parts machine? in reply to ThrashWolf 18:03:11, 2010-08-25
@ThrashWolf What's the make/model? Also, can hook up an external screen for time being? in reply to ThrashWolf 18:56:02, 2010-08-25
Wow, Wikileaks. That's gonna be a big one. o_o 19:03:08, 2010-08-25
@ThrashWolf I have a bunch of spare laptop parts. What's the make & model, just in case I have a fitting screen? in reply to ThrashWolf 19:37:54, 2010-08-25
@ThrashWolf No, sadly not anything that recent. :( £75 is the lowest replacement price I see atm. :/ in reply to ThrashWolf 19:45:48, 2010-08-25
@ThrashWolf At least it's a simple DIY swap-job if you can get the £75 together. Ebay listing #190430238065. Must be odd-jobs that'd pay? in reply to ThrashWolf 19:55:11, 2010-08-25
Going to try a varient of this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/recipes/5090237/Bill-Granger-recipes-Sweet-potato-cakes.html 21:29:47, 2010-08-25
The variation being replacing what I don't have with what I do. 21:33:11, 2010-08-25

Human-carry capable rocket made by Something Awful members. http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2010-08/23/danish-manned-spacecraft 02:10:22, 2010-08-24
Hopefully the plastic dome doesn't shatter. High-speed air would rapidly inflate (explode) the passenger compartment. 02:16:21, 2010-08-24
@retallicka Congratulations! :) in reply to retallicka 13:31:43, 2010-08-24
@twinklestah Try looking at mine then? It's 90% Twitter Digests. in reply to twinklestah 15:49:42, 2010-08-24
Still low on energy today. Woke late. Got 2nd part of new moulds done too late. Casting tomorrow as result. Need proper rest. 23:17:05, 2010-08-24
Also chuck fell off the mill 3 times. Can't seem able to handle much lateral force. 23:17:47, 2010-08-24
There's a good idea. Lemsip has painkillers in it. 23:57:11, 2010-08-24

@Muzkip Look at it again in the morning. With fresh eyes a solution might present itself. No tech issue is ever solved gone midnight. in reply to Muzkip 00:39:03, 2010-08-23
Time to head in from the workshop at last! Fuck setting the alarmclock. Shower, rough goth porn, and bed. 03:31:20, 2010-08-23
@tajasel I think it was in Total Recall. http://www.actionpants.us/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Total-Chair.jpg in reply to tajasel 17:05:08, 2010-08-23
Had a good 12hours sleep. Much needed. Cold/flu almost totally out of my system. 17:29:50, 2010-08-23
Also had great dream involving a sordid time with a slender Asian lady in a short red dress and black thigh-length stockings. Woot. :) 17:31:00, 2010-08-23

Back from helping Alice-Amanda move. All went well. Now some paperwork followed by casting again. 19:55:42, 2010-08-22
Replacement single handle or switch for Sealey pillar drill = half cost of whole new machine. 20:28:49, 2010-08-22
What did I spend £7 on? 20:29:17, 2010-08-22
Ah, was that chicken Tikka. 20:32:35, 2010-08-22
Bugger, workshop roof's still leaking. 22:49:33, 2010-08-22
@bloophoenix Isobars of pressure, sitting in the sky, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.. in reply to bloophoenix 23:00:50, 2010-08-22
