PC power up times, from start: Mains, UPS & POST = 1:09. To Windows Taskbar = 1:52. To startup programs loading & HDD calming down = 5:08. 02:41:01, 2011-02-16
Messaged someone on OKCupid! That's the first time in.. 2 years? 3? 16:03:46, 2011-02-16
Something's up today. Everyone's being active in ways that are disrupting me from being active. 17:32:22, 2011-02-16
Perhaps I should have some of the demon caffeine and screw-on with it all anyway. 17:34:39, 2011-02-16
@nerdsoup That's a very familiar feeling. 17:35:09, 2011-02-16
@NiyohBeast I'm still making them, but I'm working on new moulds atm. Immediate ones would depend on if the needed moulds are still intact. in reply to NiyohBeast 18:18:43, 2011-02-16
@NiyohBeast LED or glow in the dark? in reply to NiyohBeast 18:26:56, 2011-02-16
Laundry, washing up, cooking stew. EXCITEMENT. 20:53:33, 2011-02-16
Stew pack with very little water and a little butter makes a nice chunky mash-esque sort of veg mix. That was surprisingly nice. 21:46:03, 2011-02-16
Got redbush tea in the bday mug @pandalion got me, with a big spoonfull of the manuka honey Cat got me. Love in a mug. 21:47:00, 2011-02-16
Too hot to drink just now, so quick shower and it'll be cooled enough when I get back. 21:47:41, 2011-02-16
Weird, could have sworn it was much later at night than it is. Maybe this Flux desktop shading thing is working on me? 22:29:14, 2011-02-16
I should dye my hair again. What colour? Red again? Black? Green? Blue? Would want something with depth, so no neons. #notavote 22:31:06, 2011-02-16

I uploaded a YouTube video — Initial treadmill motor testing http://youtu.be/Nz_lQadCE64?a 03:25:16, 2011-02-15
Tried removing the flywheel. Turns out treadmill ones are screw-on. Probably should have checked that before buying the puller-set. ¬_¬ 15:01:18, 2011-02-15
Do I go to the Hackspace tonight? Would like to, but there's also free Chinese food in the offing here. :P 15:50:30, 2011-02-15
First coffee for a week to get myself going. #quittingcaffeinefail 16:11:53, 2011-02-15
Flywheel off one motor! Other tho doesn't have enough to grab hold of. Bother. 16:34:25, 2011-02-15
2nd flywheel is off! Fuck yeah! #booyahrobots 18:18:02, 2011-02-15
New horn master sanded even smoother. Another varnish layer added. When will I be happy with it? Hmmm. 18:38:59, 2011-02-15
Okay, I should get chicken on the go and change, etc. 18:39:33, 2011-02-15

Christ, it's 2:30am. I'm never reading the Lost wiki ever again. Game over man, game over. 02:31:00, 2011-02-14
@PennyRed The struggle for their hearts, right? Right? in reply to PennyRed 12:51:59, 2011-02-14
I liked a YouTube video — Lady Gaga egg entrance to Grammy Awards wows eggs-uberant fans http://youtu.be/C2zJGl5czk8?a 17:51:55, 2011-02-14
So that's bacon, eggs.. next is either toast, mushrooms or fried tomatoes. (YouTube http://youtu.be/C2zJGl5czk8?a) 17:52:24, 2011-02-14
@retallicka Lamb hearts, slow-cooked, stuffed with dates <3 in reply to retallicka 18:35:48, 2011-02-14
Seeing if images copy off the camera ok this time.. 19:14:03, 2011-02-14
Also, measured sizes of carbon brushes. Old ones are 7x17mm, new ones are 6x16mm. Caps are 20mm. Should have measured holes too. 19:15:16, 2011-02-14
File hashes match. Images look okay. OK to delete originals from memory card. Slow but safer. 19:17:16, 2011-02-14
Just had automated phonecall from "Santader".. but it was asking for confirmation details. I don't think it should be doing that. 19:28:44, 2011-02-14
Right. Account was flagged for suspicious activity; putting £100 in a week ago, using £10 on Amazon today. #triggerhappy 19:47:06, 2011-02-14
@song_in_heart I have an ultralight steel frame waiting for me to afford the rest of the parts to see that for myself. in reply to song_in_heart 21:19:30, 2011-02-14
I like to do romantic things, but I don't like the idea of being guilted into doing them. 22:00:45, 2011-02-14
@julesmattsson Better add that "may be a joke" thing to your icon. The police may come after you as a suicide bomber for that comment. :P in reply to julesmattsson 22:12:48, 2011-02-14

@AlbinoKitsune pornforsadlonelybastards.com redirects to a zdnet.com article about new The Matrix films. o_o; in reply to AlbinoKitsune 23:49:26, 2011-02-14
@AlbinoKitsune Reading it, it's actually about trend-hijacking for money. & I guess porn for sad lonely bastards IS a big trend atm. @_@ in reply to AlbinoKitsune 23:55:53, 2011-02-14

Sober, people vanished, car stolen, someone dead. Hate, bile, rage all over. Sick of this up and down shit. 00:21:37, 2011-02-13

@retallicka Thanks :) in reply to retallicka 12:29:00, 2011-02-13
At a loss today. Wanted last night to be a big change, but instead feeling disheartened. I'm proven right too often. 12:56:56, 2011-02-13

Three more lightbulb-butting ladybugs thrown out of the room tonight. There's one more but I can't find it. *tup. tup. tup* 00:48:48, 2011-02-12
