@PennyRed Actually, isn't it what it looks like when democracy *fails*? A well functioning democracy wouldn't produce widespread protests. in reply to PennyRed 16:12:02, 2010-12-18
@TinyTeaDragon *hugs* to you too! in reply to TinyTeaDragon 16:21:26, 2010-12-18
Enjoying the tropical sun, of course. ;P 16:23:42, 2010-12-18
Welp, new PIN has arrived. Just need the card too. 16:24:09, 2010-12-18
Time to fry an egg & do some laundry. :P 16:24:27, 2010-12-18
A webshop that's cheaper than ebay is a thing to behold. I think South Yorkshire must be the webshop capital of the UK. 16:43:23, 2010-12-18
Not sure I aprove of them automatically creating me an account tho. Esp one with the password "password123". Kinda HAVE to go change that. 16:48:03, 2010-12-18
@meeplemeerkat Cheers, that'll be ace! And yeah, of course, you're a babe! ;) in reply to meeplemeerkat 17:32:04, 2010-12-18
Installed "FireMirror". Downloading all FA notes, journals and comments. 18:18:51, 2010-12-18
@furaffinity Does the submissions nuke button remove entries added to the list since the page loaded too? 20:40:25, 2010-12-18
What's going on on FurAffinity this week..? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMskU3CAA0s #furries #drama #hacking 20:54:59, 2010-12-18
It was that or the Dads Army Drum & Bass mix. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXiCxOCRM1w 21:01:28, 2010-12-18
FA users, how to grab a copy of your own notes: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1951492/ #furaffinity 21:53:30, 2010-12-18
@dragoneer Biggest question: Does clearing note system trash ACTUALLY remove notes from the database? IE: Can admin acc's still access them? 21:56:16, 2010-12-18
@dragoneer 2nd biggest: Was note access only account-targeted or an incremental DL of all notes, since they use incremented ID numbers? 21:59:51, 2010-12-18
@dragoneer IE: Have just a few been grabbed or has someone downloaded them ALL to sift at their leisure? 22:01:04, 2010-12-18
FA currently nearing 12million notes. At 1 per second it would take approx 139 days to download them all. But DL progs are faster than that. 22:26:17, 2010-12-18
Note page says it was generated in 0.009sec. Being kind, assuming 5 DL threads & 10 per sec, full note DL would take about 2.7 days. 22:29:44, 2010-12-18
Being less kind and more strategic, downloading ALL notes on FA during the known hacked time period is easily possible. #furaffinity 22:36:18, 2010-12-18
That's enough for now. Back to looking at video of hacked musical santas. 22:37:16, 2010-12-18
@Loup_Hyane Someone got my card details over the weekend. I suspect the ATM opposite the bar. in reply to Loup_Hyane 22:44:50, 2010-12-18
Fuck me, it's cold. No seriously, please do. :P 23:54:13, 2010-12-18

@Idessness No saves or temp-files in over 2hrs? o_o; in reply to Idessness 00:24:06, 2010-12-17
@Idessness Well, check see if the program uses temp-files? Might be able to get it back! in reply to Idessness 00:36:19, 2010-12-17
@Idessness https://grafikdesign.wordpress.com/2008/12/31/how-to-recover-photoshop-tmp-file/ in reply to Idessness 01:09:16, 2010-12-17
@Idessness Check for the temp files in the scratch-disk folder. in reply to Idessness 01:12:21, 2010-12-17
@Idessness Woo! :D And get your local geek to get some proper thermal compound on it's heatsink. The pads they use are rubbish. in reply to Idessness 01:20:19, 2010-12-17
@JezzKitty Ouch! I hope the salt bath helps sooth it :) in reply to JezzKitty 12:50:56, 2010-12-17
@ThrashWolf Working fine here. Probably a routing issue then. in reply to ThrashWolf 13:47:42, 2010-12-17
Okay, one issue down: Fraudulent Sky subscription has been refunded. 14:25:38, 2010-12-17
@LupusLondonwolf Being promoted to management? in reply to LupusLondonwolf 14:43:38, 2010-12-17
FA keeps logging me out today. Have changed password to be safe. No odd activity logs. 14:46:51, 2010-12-17
By that I mean no odd IP addresses. Do admin-account changes get logged there? 14:51:36, 2010-12-17
Workshop starting temperature 0.8c! A new record! D: 15:37:02, 2010-12-17
Workshop computer is working (obviously) but seems sluggish. Wondring if hard disk bearings are gummed from cold. 15:47:01, 2010-12-17
Calculating a thread.. lookis like every 7th tooth aligns with every 5th on the 0.5mm metric gauge. Feels imperial? 16:09:56, 2010-12-17
If I'm reading it right, micrometer reads thread OD of exactly 3/16ths. What do I have that might have a correctly sized screw in it? 16:13:50, 2010-12-17
To the clock parts! 16:13:57, 2010-12-17
Will add "imperial thread gauge" to xmas list. :P 16:16:00, 2010-12-17

@garrwolfdog Noooo, you and tequilla never ends well! D: in reply to garrwolfdog 17:56:04, 2010-12-17
Finally used the MT2 taper-finishing reamer. Got cutting tool wander down from 0.6mm to 0.25mm. Not bad since I can't take the spindle out. 17:57:48, 2010-12-17
Will need to find a *course* MT2 reamer or taper-cutting drill bit to make a new spindle. It's a bastard keyword search though. 17:59:44, 2010-12-17

Someone's gotten ahold of my card details and ~£100 is now locked from my bank account. They've also got to send me a new card. 09:53:54, 2010-12-14
With processing and xmas post, I may not see the new card til the new year, so I have £10 cash to make all xmas preparations with. 09:55:13, 2010-12-14
Only odd place I've used my card was the cash point outside the Wall Bar on Saturday, but I checked it for attachments. Well hidden then. 10:01:13, 2010-12-14
