@wimthetim That partly illustrates my point; this plan doesn't seem to have any (@YouTube http://t.co/7giLkSXZ) 00:52:58, 2012-04-05

@doctorow Try entering "Up-Up-Down-Down-Left-Right-Left-Right-A-B". See if it helps. in reply to doctorow 15:57:56, 2012-04-05
My arms hurt so much. Mainly the joints. But guttering nearly done! Just gotta drill some fixing holes and fit the tank connector.. 19:09:26, 2012-04-05
Success! Guttering is all re-arranged, and water butt is tied in with a diverter. It won't grab everything, but will add up. 20:03:58, 2012-04-05
@ChaseLionessAD How're you managing that? o_o in reply to ChaseLionessAD 20:32:11, 2012-04-05

Why's it so hard to find a PC front-panel with 4 USB ports, HD audio, maybe eSATA and nothing else? 21:13:51, 2012-04-05
Found one, but it's £13 2nd hand, has a Firewire port that's useless to me, and the moulding quality looks terrible. 21:14:43, 2012-04-05
Tempted to either remount the badly moulded one or make one from scratch. 21:15:04, 2012-04-05

There's a lot of black smoke rising to the North. 5 fire engines have passed the house in that direction in rapid succession. 15:29:42, 2012-04-04
Looks a bit further away than Tescos site. Maybe the mental hospital? 15:30:18, 2012-04-04
Think the police helicopter's circling, and the fire investigation team van went past. Arson? 15:30:59, 2012-04-04
Maybe it's Budgens? Maybe with the Tesco's going up, they decided to torch it for the insurance? 15:32:13, 2012-04-04
Apparently it's the old Focus building that's on fire in Highams Park. 15:39:48, 2012-04-04
Wonder if Tescos will make a bargain offer on the Focus site, post-fire? 15:43:08, 2012-04-04
Been by the fire at old Focus, Highams Park. Building gutted, walls collapsed in. Eyewitness says it was full of old tires. 17:12:33, 2012-04-04
Should note the fire occurred only shortly after the new security fence went up. Was it to protect the site or keep fire services out? 17:18:49, 2012-04-04
@blueybirdy Yup. No other way an entirely steel and concrete building will burn anyway. Wasn't even insulation in the roof there. in reply to blueybirdy 17:20:47, 2012-04-04

Imagining a domestic consumer unit where the live bus-bar is replaced with a PCB with sockets for current sensors & bar-graph displays. 20:39:00, 2012-04-04
Out of the 6 cameras I ordered, only one is DOA, the "Trust Chat". Have emailed the seller about a replacement. 23:03:04, 2012-04-04
So 1 cam only captured in 3rd party software, 1 dead, only 1 capturing at 30fps. 23:07:08, 2012-04-04
Suspect Xbox webcam runs best because of MS drivers. May not take under Linux. But gets warm enough won't need enclosure-heater. 23:11:52, 2012-04-04
