Feeling increasingly rough. I think I may have food poisoning. 00:33:20, 2013-02-27
@tinycorvid Got a cold sweat on, nauesea in reply to tinycorvid 00:34:47, 2013-02-27
Feeling marginly better now the tank's emptier. Going to get a hot water bottle and sleep. >_< 00:58:49, 2013-02-27
tonight now one of those nights I'd REALLY like someone to hold me while I whimper. 01:07:57, 2013-02-27
"It turns out procrastination is not typically a function of laziness, apathy or work ethic as it is…" http://t.co/VqCdusrzY9 11:37:06, 2013-02-27
Feeling a lot better this morning, thankfully. 11:46:30, 2013-02-27
Only if you keep romantically pursuing someone when they make it clear that they are not (@YouTube http://t.co/0LinEKH1wH) 13:47:25, 2013-02-27
To the Appendix of the tips mentioned; finding a partner in itself is often part of learning (@YouTube http://t.co/0LinEKH1wH) 13:53:24, 2013-02-27
Supporting evidence for getting a life is easy. Think of a fandom, any fandom. Who's the most (@YouTube http://t.co/0LinEKH1wH) 14:14:46, 2013-02-27
Define your interests and seek out multiple local groups that reflect them. The internet (@YouTube http://t.co/0LinEKH1wH) 14:17:57, 2013-02-27
Maybe an aspect that the stereotype of male is very stoic, where females are light-hearted. So (@YouTube http://t.co/bmG2L0UkNe) 16:42:55, 2013-02-27
May not have been food poisoning last night but leaving too much fat on the pork. Think I'll be eating leaner cuts from now on. Ugh. 17:21:39, 2013-02-27
More productive today. Getting back to grips with things. In part that means an aggressive sweep of the workshop. 17:22:47, 2013-02-27
@ZeroShiBlue They're going to be amazing when they're done. :3 in reply to ZeroShiBlue 17:23:31, 2013-02-27
@Kast_Monster Thinking it might have been surface contamination on the skin. Was reduced to clear. Either way, off Big Meat for a bit. :P in reply to Kast_Monster 17:43:39, 2013-02-27
@Kast_Monster Hope yours clears up soon. Hate to say it, but sometimes purging helps. :P in reply to Kast_Monster 17:44:06, 2013-02-27
Looks like the vac-form texture punctured. Resin inside the vac-former. Hopefully can clean it out or I'll have to laser up another one. 18:32:49, 2013-02-27
Small aging bonus: Any newbie furries who whine about me "copying" their char design, I can point out my design is older than their IRL age. 18:38:00, 2013-02-27
FYI; that magic age is currently if the whiner is 16 or younger. First drew "Sci" in 1997, (possibly even 1996), and still have the pics. 18:40:18, 2013-02-27
Opened up the x-ray head for giggles. It has an unexpected rubber bladder attached. Unsure why. 19:02:24, 2013-02-27
@Scapponess Probably more "talk about impossible to moderate" in reply to Scapponess 19:12:50, 2013-02-27
Rubber bulb is under a slight vacuum, but no way near x-ray tube inner vacuum. Perhaps some sort of expansion reservoir for dry air inside. 19:18:32, 2013-02-27
@ZeroShiBlue C'mon champ, you can do it, just one more round! *offers towel & spit-bucket* in reply to ZeroShiBlue 21:19:49, 2013-02-27
@ZeroShiBlue Best eat, need fuel to fight the snot. Hope you feel better soon. <3 http://t.co/GHQvR7zMlt 23:08:08, 2013-02-27
@BoingBoing "Beyond childbearing age" presumably because 9months is only 270 days of the 501. 230days conception window for birth in space. in reply to BoingBoing 23:31:49, 2013-02-27
@BoingBoing No company is going to want the first space miscarriage due to interstellar radiation. Or subject a baby to re-entry forces. in reply to BoingBoing 23:33:12, 2013-02-27

I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/Qp0sHtijtY Girls on YouTube | BECOMING YOUTUBE | Video #7 00:12:01, 2013-02-26
Learnt on the weekend: Coach travel boring but productive, @ZeroShiBlue is even cuter IRL, Shef & Manc are nice places, MST3K fun when drunk 00:45:34, 2013-02-26
When you've gone a bit stir-crazy, coming back from just a short time away feels very strange, otherworldly. Nothing's quite as you recall. 17:09:44, 2013-02-26
If I were to come up to the Manc meet on the 9th, would someone be able to put me up in town? 21:01:24, 2013-02-26
Okay the building I spotted from the coach was the Worldwide Tools "Robot Works" in Matilda St, Sheffield. No other info available online. 22:31:16, 2013-02-26
Got opportunity to buy very powerful very cheap linear actuator for big robot idea. Asking self where I'd be able to store it. Must abandon. 22:46:40, 2013-02-26
Really not feeling very well tonight. 22:46:56, 2013-02-26

4.5hrs of hardcore sitting begins now. Back to London. :( at least the coach is nicer than on the way up. Heating for starters. #sadpanda 14:47:51, 2013-02-25
@ZeroShiBlue yup! Home foundry casting & How To Build an Android in 20 Easy Steps XD #SadRobotPanda 15:37:19, 2013-02-25
I need to take more boring coach journies. I think I just invented a totally electrical artificial muscle. 16:00:18, 2013-02-25
A child at the back of the bus has started screaming annoyingly, & unconvincingly, for attention. Only 30 more minutes. :P #volumeup 18:27:30, 2013-02-25
Home now. Hot, sweaty. Food. Gromf! 20:14:38, 2013-02-25
@thetomska That you have a script and don't improv your videos makes me feel much better. in reply to thetomska 20:25:56, 2013-02-25
185 emails.. -_-; 21:14:47, 2013-02-25
Got a MASSIVE pork shoulder on discount up the road. It's in the slow-cooker now. Tomorrow will be glorious. #FloopThePig 23:29:44, 2013-02-25

On the way back from meeting @ZeroShiBlue in person for 1st time. Lovely drinks, food, laughs, and most of all the company. :) 20:54:17, 2013-02-23
@ZeroShiBlue 2nd weekend of every month you said? :) 21:21:04, 2013-02-23
Should have grabbed a bus/tram map. Oh, it's snowing again. #wanthotchocolate 21:41:26, 2013-02-23
BrewDog and sci-fi bar with @ZeroShiBlue a tonne of fun. Not sure I'd do the beer cocktails again tho. ;) 21:57:04, 2013-02-23
