Should I feel this much less anxious just knowing I have a beer? 19:40:55, 2011-09-26
Adblock & GirlGenius haven't loaded all day. 19:44:28, 2011-09-26
Often it seems the USA is a country full of kind & loving people.. where it's seen as weak to be kind & loving. Self-hate as a result. 20:20:59, 2011-09-26
(drunkenly) Installing Teach Yourself C++ In 24hours. Who the hell makes an installer that creates dirs with illegal Windows characters?? 20:54:20, 2011-09-26
Would actually like to know what the difference is between the #NYPD "white-shirts" and "blue-shirts". 21:17:22, 2011-09-26
Blue-shirts sound like regular beat officers. Unsure if white-shirts are reserves, desk officers or what. 21:19:41, 2011-09-26
The TOMPS order should be here tomorrow. Need to heat up the workshop. Silicone didn't cure right. Too cold. 21:28:59, 2011-09-26

Killing a goat sounds vaguely sexual? o_O

Feel awkward about RTing that slavery infographic. With newspapers blaming an ethnic group for it all, feels like playing into their hands. 15:27:45, 2011-09-25
Why do we fear darkness? Because we fear each-other may be the same in the dark, when there's no one to watch us. 19:42:54, 2011-09-25
Who are you, when there is no one to watch you? When no one can see what you do? 19:43:34, 2011-09-25
The decisions we make on our own, those that will never be known to any other, are our true face. 19:45:10, 2011-09-25
@Hairyears LOL! I remember reading some of his stories when I was 17. Blast from the past.. in reply to Hairyears 20:29:42, 2011-09-25
I wonder, what defines the difference between police and army? Legally and subjectively. 21:26:10, 2011-09-25
Subjectively I suspect it would be the tactics, equipment and aggression used. 21:26:51, 2011-09-25
So further I suspect that a suitably aggressive & equipped police force would be indistinguishable from martial law. 21:28:43, 2011-09-25

Crazy. VirtualDub saves video faster encoding to DivX than to uncompressed. 00:51:24, 2011-09-24
VirtualDub, you are getting me SO CLOSE to installing Windows Movie Maker. Those files are EXACTLY the same sample rate!! 02:27:46, 2011-09-24
@PoisonedAl Have discovered my camera records in standard MJPEG. But not at 30fps. At 30.00030fps. in reply to PoisonedAl 04:01:47, 2011-09-24

It's saturday. How the hell is it saturday? 13:34:36, 2011-09-24
SciStarborne YouTube account is now monetized. I also need to do some housekeeping there. Playlists & sorting. 14:24:24, 2011-09-24
I also need to find a suitable sound to use with my logo animation. Else I'll be adding random noises off the SoundFX CDs. 14:25:29, 2011-09-24
I think Goths=Necrophilia is probably a good comparison to the Furries= Bestiality idea. 15:24:48, 2011-09-24

Testing the enclosure heater… 21:51:24, 2011-09-24
Almost fell over from dizzyness. Time to eat I guess.Quick silicone first tho. 21:57:23, 2011-09-24
@antlercat I hope someone gives John de Lancie a suitable set of antlers next convention he goes to. in reply to antlercat 22:39:55, 2011-09-24
In 50min the 80Watt enclosure heater boosted the temperature in resin storage by 5c. Should be ample with proper controller. 22:42:57, 2011-09-24
Now for food. 22:43:35, 2011-09-24
@antlercat Picard liked horse riding. There must be some Q horse/pon dialogue in Star Trek. in reply to antlercat 23:40:13, 2011-09-24
Just been to shops to buy chocolate. Saw front page of The Times blaming Irish gypsies in general for selling UK residents as slaves. 23:44:17, 2011-09-24
Can't help the feeling the UK is stepping up to play the Germany to the USA's USSR. #GodwinsLaw 23:45:32, 2011-09-24

Spent the last hour trying to find cheap sources of 5-ring polyphenyl ether. I think I need to go to bed now. After a snack. 01:29:33, 2011-09-23
@penguat @karaspita I'll eat most things. Not been fond of insects so far tho. Also not fond of almond/marzipan & liquorice flavours. in reply to penguat 02:08:22, 2011-09-23
@penguat I like pasta and have a special fondness for butternut squash. in reply to penguat 15:09:46, 2011-09-23

Thinking about "human universals". Value of children is common but not universal. Music being rhythmic also isn't universal. 17:56:26, 2011-09-23
Web designers; If you really must have a web-based contact form, make DAMN SURE it emails a confirmation email to the sender. 18:18:13, 2011-09-23
@mothdust Because I've used sites where the form is broken and the message "sent" never is. Just writing into the ether. in reply to mothdust 20:10:33, 2011-09-23
@mothdust It does however mean the message made it as far as the mailserver, which I'd count as more reliable! :) in reply to mothdust 20:12:38, 2011-09-23
@mothdust And if the mailserver gets the address bouncing with that receipt, then the final recipient can ignore the message. in reply to mothdust 20:13:48, 2011-09-23
@mothdust Filters! They help a lot. in reply to mothdust 20:16:47, 2011-09-23
Futzed around with gas fittings. Just need a barbed hose connector to arrive & should be able to hook gas to brazing hearth. 20:18:21, 2011-09-23
Waxing the horns.. 21:04:21, 2011-09-23
No, it's not a euphemism 21:05:14, 2011-09-23
Horns fully waxed. Will varnish them tomorrow. Thinking a couple of them may work better as barrettes than headbands. 22:54:05, 2011-09-23

@America, killing someone because they're an embarrassment to your legal system doesn't make the embarrassment less. #TroyDavis 10:10:39, 2011-09-22
@ladyuhuru Just saw @tajasel RT you. Your icon looks very familiar. Have I met you before? Or am I just being a sleepy derp? 10:31:53, 2011-09-22
@penguat @karaspita Should be fine. Couple of busses and there. Like within what boundaries? I like a lot of things! XD in reply to penguat 10:33:40, 2011-09-22
@ladyuhuru No I guess not! :) Digging about to see if I've got a pic online somewhere.. in reply to ladyuhuru 10:53:36, 2011-09-22
@pliskincat Expo? in reply to pliskincat 10:59:17, 2011-09-22
@ladyuhuru Just realised, it was okcupid. It's definitely a derpy morning. "Hmm, well I've got photos on my.. ooooh, right." XD in reply to ladyuhuru 11:01:19, 2011-09-22
Oh Balloo, why are you advertising Sainsburys? 11:02:20, 2011-09-22
@avon_deer And then they explode. in reply to avon_deer 11:02:49, 2011-09-22

@sevenhelz Guess so? No idea what that really entails. in reply to sevenhelz 19:49:28, 2011-09-22
We got back from the hospital a couple of hours ago and had some chinese food. Won't know PET scan results til next week. 19:50:09, 2011-09-22
@sevenhelz Haha, well my tweets are already archived on my site & blogs, so go for it. in reply to sevenhelz 20:13:18, 2011-09-22
Back online again. Old keyboard has been rinsed under the tap. Pile of receipts still smell of beer. Sitting in pants with remainder. *sip* 21:22:12, 2011-09-22
Now using a Dell AT102W. It's a vintage feeling thing with proper buckling-spring keys I think. Clickclickclickclickclick. 21:26:33, 2011-09-22
It is rather sadly worn-beige tho. 21:27:21, 2011-09-22
Steam; "I've detected an update! Do you want to restart?" Sure, ok. "Can't, I'm syncing with the cloud!!" 22:29:27, 2011-09-22
The Source engine must have been updated again. Half Life 2 no longer works right. Edge/collision detection, event triggers, animations.. 23:26:10, 2011-09-22
