Meet up delayed today, so have popped home for a mail-check and to collect umbrella. Then out to the hackspace and beyond. 15:54:20, 2011-07-17
Good party at Alice-Amandas last night. Had a very enjoyable time. :) 15:55:00, 2011-07-17
@JezzKitty May be crash space at mine. Have offered to someone, but they haven't confirmed yet. in reply to JezzKitty 15:55:59, 2011-07-17
Seem to have bumped into nice people this morning so far. Most recent; a very friendly lady named Trisha on the train home. :) 15:57:10, 2011-07-17
I liked a @YouTube video http://youtu.be/iX60j_rlTOA?a Penn and Teller compare video games to football 16:04:51, 2011-07-17
Ah, awesome! Two bids on the milling machine and a week to go! Only £51, but it's a start. 16:07:17, 2011-07-17
@JezzKitty kk, just trying to helpful. Also, from todays promoted Instructables: http://t.co/Pk7AkTW in reply to JezzKitty 16:08:44, 2011-07-17
Nothing ruins a day quite like being guilt-tripped about wanting some time to yourself. Or guilt-trips of any variety. 22:15:13, 2011-07-17
Creative urges well crushed, came home via the pub. Early night I think. 22:15:55, 2011-07-17
My throat's burning. Feels like I've been gargling bile. 23:05:22, 2011-07-17

Nauseous. Ugh. 12:56:01, 2011-07-16
I want to see someone doing Parkour in a fat-suit. 13:35:16, 2011-07-16
It feels so civilised using all fresh toiletries for the first time, rather than eking out the last dregs from the old bottles and tubes. 14:48:56, 2011-07-16

@furaffinity Pretty amazing! What are the most popular content tags? in reply to furaffinity 00:06:58, 2011-07-15
@Moshiicake Cheers hon! I should take pics of the ones from the new moulds to pimp them. :3 in reply to Moshiicake 00:22:30, 2011-07-15
Dad's given the remains of a 38%vol novelty "medicine" he got in China. It contains dog, dear and seal penis. Equally disgusted & curious. 00:59:44, 2011-07-15
I liked a @YouTube video http://youtu.be/nUNHPnoJM64?a Russell Howard's Good News – Daily Mail Cancer Song 01:27:08, 2011-07-15
@LupusLondonwolf What did I miss there? O_O in reply to LupusLondonwolf 11:27:02, 2011-07-15
Ebay's auto-removing email addresses from internal messages, presume to stop outside sales. Helpful when trying to contact product support. 12:02:19, 2011-07-15
About 5hrs sleep. Having a tricky time getting into gear. Some proper tea I think.. 12:11:45, 2011-07-15
I'd buy a full length version of this song.(@YouTube http://youtu.be/nUNHPnoJM64?a) 12:15:13, 2011-07-15
oop! Running over to dads for some impromptu worktop collecting! 12:27:55, 2011-07-15
@Huskyteer Qua? Worktop rats? O_o in reply to Huskyteer 13:40:38, 2011-07-15
Worktop collected. Should be ample! May also be doing impromptu delivery of a sofa to the LondonHackSpace if the mailing list replies quick. 13:41:45, 2011-07-15
@Huskyteer It's okay, the idea of melamine pigeons is amusing. in reply to Huskyteer 14:38:29, 2011-07-15
Amusing. BT answer vs an automated marketing call. I'll have to record it off the phone before the 20day storage is up. 15:04:57, 2011-07-15
@LupusLondonwolf We love chickens. in reply to LupusLondonwolf 15:06:53, 2011-07-15
To cyclists: If you wanted to be accepted as vehicles, obey the fucking road rules! Number of morons running red lights we saw in Hoxton… 18:54:57, 2011-07-15
Exhausted. So exhausted. 23:49:10, 2011-07-15

Home from my dads place seeing my cousin. Good times. Have somehow ended up with a bottle of Martini and something from France. 00:06:24, 2011-07-14
Fresh banana cookies with real vanilla icecream. I don't have it on my clothes, (@YouTube http://youtu.be/YobGFJL3Hhg?a) 00:13:44, 2011-07-14
@Scapponess Last time I accidentally left it on it automatically updated my capture card and audio drivers. Took 3 days to fix. Never again. in reply to Scapponess 00:44:49, 2011-07-14
Bit tipsy. Enough that listening to TotalBiscuit's mailbox on YouTube is just amaaaaaazing. 01:00:09, 2011-07-14
There's a mind-worm in this. It's not something you'd ever consider until someo (@YouTube http://youtu.be/tpDg0rrRxdA?a) 01:50:33, 2011-07-14
Skimming the Bradley Manning chat logs. I know he was in a bad place, but this level of sharing with strangers is beyond Furry level dumb. 03:03:10, 2011-07-14
Massive confessions to an unknown entity, straight off. If legit can only agree the kid must have had a full blown mental breakdown. :/ 03:05:58, 2011-07-14
Anyway, bed now 03:06:13, 2011-07-14
@angelamelick Speak softly and carry a 36" Stilson Wrench. in reply to angelamelick 03:47:17, 2011-07-14
The van seems to be up and running, and I got paid for fixing it! :) Even the fuel gauge is working. 18:26:19, 2011-07-14
Sadly had to cancel dinner with Jo as it took longer than expected. :/ 18:26:25, 2011-07-14
On the way back with the van also collected some good salvaged wood. Will be exceptionally helpful in finishing up the workshop! 18:28:50, 2011-07-14
Removed the screws & nails from a couple of bits to make it safe to pass in the hall, but will do the rest tomorrow. Now to ebay via shower. 18:29:48, 2011-07-14
Okay, mill is listed. Took ages to dig out all the info. And have had to send a note to ebay support as I'm still showing as VAT registered! 21:33:23, 2011-07-14
Now I can finally go scratch up some dinner. 21:33:46, 2011-07-14
Doesn't help that ebay's link to remove your VAT number actually links to their help menu. #EbayIsBroken 21:35:39, 2011-07-14
@JezzKitty Ask @jackalesque, she knows feesh. in reply to JezzKitty 22:36:14, 2011-07-14
Dinner tonight is Irish Stew, ginger wine and a Crunchie bar. 22:36:45, 2011-07-14

@Moshiicake I've mentioned it to a few people already, but would love to get more feedback while I work on prototyping it. :3 in reply to Moshiicake 00:04:02, 2011-07-13
@Moshiicake Will do once I get them tidied up & on the PC. :) in reply to Moshiicake 00:18:35, 2011-07-13

There's a pair of young foxes playing in the river. Awww. 01:23:45, 2011-07-13
@Moshiicake Small note. My link's missing the http:// so the link's broken. Reading on~ in reply to Moshiicake 01:50:03, 2011-07-13
@Moshiicake Very enjoyable article! And that nutcracker thing.. God, who'd put their bits near anything with exposed interlocking parts? D: in reply to Moshiicake 02:00:38, 2011-07-13
Where the heck was that? Looks familiar, but can't place it. (@YouTube http://youtu.be/S8iiPMQ1Ep0?a) 02:07:59, 2011-07-13

Wake up brain, it's wednesday. 10:55:23, 2011-07-13
Steppers and PSU arrived today. I've just had a second dispatch notification on the driver board though, 3 days apart. Do I get 2 of them? 12:23:31, 2011-07-13
Hong Kong Post tracking number website doesn't work. 12:30:12, 2011-07-13
I think that's the fuel sender fixed. New pump should arrive by courier tomorrow. If we're lucky, van will be working again by the afternoon 18:29:35, 2011-07-13
Looks like I'll get £100 for the job too, which is helpful. Just need to get done with enough time to get the mill listed on ebay. 18:30:39, 2011-07-13
@Mish_Monster Agh, I missed it again?? D: in reply to Mish_Monster 18:41:47, 2011-07-13
