@JezzabelleNFC I hate nights like that. :( in reply to JezzabelleNFC 00:07:39, 2010-08-21
Right, that's me done tonight. Time to go try the new loofah-mitt! :D 00:23:33, 2010-08-21
I'm so getting a bag of pinecones to keep under the bed. http://www.threewordphrase.com/fantasy.htm 03:51:18, 2010-08-21
It's been long enough since I last had sex, my body is probably expecting a vagina to have knuckles. 11:39:29, 2010-08-21
Awesome tune of the day; "Fuck You!" by Ceelo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAV0XrbEwNc 12:27:16, 2010-08-21
If anyone wants a Dreamwidth invite code, I have 7. 12:29:43, 2010-08-21
Anyone got a sand-blaster? 12:30:37, 2010-08-21
My sis gave me an imported green-tea KitKat. It's interesting. Could grow on you. But then green chocolate would be interesting wouldn't it? 12:33:44, 2010-08-21
@bloophoenix The majority is a good sort of crazy though. :) in reply to bloophoenix 13:53:36, 2010-08-21
@bloophoenix That's a soft drink though? What was the flavour like? And not sad for being curious! :) in reply to bloophoenix 14:19:42, 2010-08-21
@NiyohBeast Congrats! But might want to blur out their address! in reply to NiyohBeast 14:38:56, 2010-08-21
Has anyone made a FireFox plugin that automatically displays geotags if they're included in hidden image data? 14:41:16, 2010-08-21
Ah, there's a couple! Both EXIF viewers only do JPEG currently though. 14:48:28, 2010-08-21
Just cleaned and disinfected the display stands I found. Hosed down and hung them on the line to dry. 15:45:51, 2010-08-21
One day I'll look down on the world from my mountain fortress with my robot army. How we'll laugh. And by "we" I mean "I". 15:47:45, 2010-08-21
Looking at the helical gears at meccanoman.co.uk. Seems to be the cheapest readily-available option. Repairing a mill with Meccano. 21:39:56, 2010-08-21
@bloophoenix Sadly I've tried cream soda and just can't abide the stuff. I'll be over here with the chocolate-peanut-butter sweets instead. in reply to bloophoenix 21:42:44, 2010-08-21
@mothdust I'm sure you look lovely. :P in reply to mothdust 21:54:12, 2010-08-21
@mothdust I think I was right, so there. ^_^ in reply to mothdust 22:02:17, 2010-08-21
I should have left Mavis' party earlier. Won't finish this tonight. Maybe tomorrow evening. Tuesday that means for casting. 23:37:04, 2010-08-21

Anyone else notice Dail Fail's "Magnetic Woman" seems to be attracting *non-ferrous* metals? http://bit.ly/9iZkBc 11:36:23, 2010-08-20
It's hard to find *closed* 4mm jump-rings. Still, open may do. Just like to be confident in these things. 13:01:50, 2010-08-20
I bought £63 of food today. Lots and lots of veg. Should last me several weeks I hope! Gonna make lamb stew tonight and freeze it down. 18:30:27, 2010-08-20
Over the full travel of the X-axis, the table rises by 0.06mm when wound full to the right. Motion shifts it by ~0.015 at full extension. 18:53:59, 2010-08-20
Less than 0.01mm variation on the Y-axis. So slides are very good. Worn leadnuts probably cause of directional "jumps" in reading. 19:00:51, 2010-08-20
The vertical seems to move 0.01 out for every 0.2mm it's raised. Seems linear, so head's probably on at a slight angle. 19:15:29, 2010-08-20
Shaking the whole machine by the millhead makes it waver by 0.2mm. But I am shaking the whole machine side to side for that. 19:16:44, 2010-08-20
@ThrashWolf Here, grab yourself the whole Rant Media back-catalogue while you're at it. http://www.rantmedia.ca/ in reply to ThrashWolf 19:18:20, 2010-08-20
@ThrashWolf Yup, one of these: http://www.chesteruk.net/store/conquest_lathe.htm Why? in reply to ThrashWolf 19:27:34, 2010-08-20
@ThrashWolf Yeah, I reckon so. Tip might be tricky, but some pre-made bits I could could buy that would work there. in reply to ThrashWolf 19:44:49, 2010-08-20
Lamb stew's going to sit overnight now. It'll mature and the pearl barley will soak up the excess juice. Smells gorgeous. 22:08:02, 2010-08-20
@ThrashWolf £50-60? Presuming that painting the ring at the top will be ok. Anodising it would be expensive. in reply to ThrashWolf 22:22:00, 2010-08-20
@BoingBoing So someone at Banzai had to go searching for tiny children for a photo-shoot? That must have been an unsettling advert to place. in reply to BoingBoing 22:38:14, 2010-08-20
@JezzabelleNFC *hugs ya* in reply to JezzabelleNFC 23:08:14, 2010-08-20
@Utlah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JfxCGAKhgQ @1:06 :) in reply to Utlah 23:12:30, 2010-08-20
I found an industry statement from the latest #ACTA talks. Or is it the #RIAA radio chip talks? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1XszR9SJ2w 23:23:00, 2010-08-20
Do not burp into your full-face breathing mask. D: 23:45:23, 2010-08-20

@TimWakeham All sorts of amazing things! in reply to TimWakeham 01:26:14, 2010-08-19
Gravity cat is not amused. 01:26:49, 2010-08-19
@pandalion *polite cough* in reply to pandalion 01:36:55, 2010-08-19
Saw this "Bond Bug" on tuesday: http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/galleries/Misc/Image017.jpg 15:12:41, 2010-08-19
@mothdust Mostdust = Moth Apples? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9160eN69mM#t=5m38s :) 15:22:12, 2010-08-19
@mothdust Now there's a pleasant thought! ;) in reply to mothdust 15:46:18, 2010-08-19
New blog post: The new milling machine http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/?p=320 18:45:23, 2010-08-19
Probably going to be the last bloom of the year, but heavenly; http://www.sci-fi-fox.com/galleries/Photography/Gardening/Dscf3452.jpg 18:56:59, 2010-08-19
Aww, Khizzy's sitting in the shed doorway. We must make her a place to live for winter soon, so she can get used to it. 21:37:52, 2010-08-19
Coming back from shopping, found the corner shop throwing out old mint & bubblegum stands. Cleaned up, will be VERY useful for cons! :D 21:39:16, 2010-08-19
For selling things at, that is. 21:39:30, 2010-08-19
Also found a smashed shower cubicle in someones front garden. Took with permission. Lots of lovely extruded aluminium! 21:40:09, 2010-08-19
@TaniDaReal Every cat needs it's own display stand. :) in reply to TaniDaReal 21:47:38, 2010-08-19
Aluminium frame all dismantled and didn't break the remaining panes! Cut down, could make a very professional-looking enclosure. Fume box? 22:13:48, 2010-08-19
The energy thing must be part diet. Have had a good dinner & now full of energy. Can actually feel my chemical furnace blazing. Even w/ flu. 22:17:52, 2010-08-19
Almost all my coach bolts have impact marks on the top. Will have to buy some new ones to defile with the milling machine. Need smooth tops. 22:50:01, 2010-08-19
@JezzabelleNFC He looks rather grumpy! in reply to JezzabelleNFC 23:24:53, 2010-08-19

@gothicat Why am I reading them in the voice of Foamy the Squirrel? in reply to gothicat 00:26:03, 2010-08-18
Feeling rather congested today. Maybe sickening for something? Time for some Beechums hot lemon. 11:56:25, 2010-08-18
Internet is misbehaving today. 13:11:02, 2010-08-18
The first asteroid mining ship needs to be named "Sinistar". 14:06:33, 2010-08-18
Workshop roof is now well tarred. Hopefully will keep the rain out over winter, and catch any more trespassers sticky-handed. 17:19:50, 2010-08-18
@karaspita Found it! Briar root wood! 17:22:21, 2010-08-18
There's a huge angle grinder here somewhere. How am I missing it? 17:28:48, 2010-08-18
Took a bit, but got the top cut off the old air tank. :) Wow, rust had eaten half way through the metal at the bottom! 18:22:04, 2010-08-18
Increasingly snuffly. Hope it's just a 24hr thing. 18:39:00, 2010-08-18
Slowing down. Assuming this means I need food, not sleep. 20:02:37, 2010-08-18
@TimWakeham Hopefully a foundry. Certainly for aluminium casting, possibly small amounts of iron. in reply to TimWakeham 21:59:20, 2010-08-18
Has anyone heard of a "trailer park" for shipping container homes? 22:00:10, 2010-08-18

Going indoors to shower & sleep. Last minute check suggests control box from mech-bed may be suitable as filter & fan box for breather mask. 00:34:20, 2010-08-17
Seems it was the Lazarus form plugin that was breaking Tumblr. Or is it just working 'cos Tumblr's down for maintenance? 11:27:44, 2010-08-17
Pants, breakfast, forum replies. This is the order I must do things. Then making of another list. 11:51:47, 2010-08-17
@karaspita Thankyou for the compliment :) in reply to karaspita 12:56:02, 2010-08-17
Cashing in all but the original £10 of my premium bonds. >_< 13:51:58, 2010-08-17
Why is nothing upbeat anymore? 15:23:01, 2010-08-17
Must phone TOMPS in the morning. Their detailed instructions for the epoxy contradicts itself between pages 1&2. 23:17:38, 2010-08-17
Hmm. If I got some sticky-back purple tint for my breathing mask, I could go to RBW as a Quarian. 23:22:32, 2010-08-17
If you've ever wondered what the T-1000's sphincter looked like, I think I know from watching the metallic pigment settle after pouring. 23:32:01, 2010-08-17
