@ZeroShiBlue I can't believe I bough so many cakes. in reply to ZeroShiBlue 00:03:54, 2013-03-05
I need to go rummage in the cheap plastic crap of Poundland again. Need something with a smooth round bottom. Like a huge testtube, pervs ;P 01:19:10, 2013-03-05
@ZeroShiBlue We like to get stuff done! But also still get periodic tea & cuddles. Just have a wing of a house to yourself. :3 in reply to ZeroShiBlue 01:36:18, 2013-03-05
This new chair makes a creaking sound that sounds like an electronic "ping". Keep thinking someone's left a phone behind me. 01:54:55, 2013-03-05
@jeriellsworth My 10Kg bag of rice agrees with you. in reply to jeriellsworth 02:25:55, 2013-03-05
PCI riser card arrived a week early! If it tests okay, got a new workshop PC to put in place! 10:48:51, 2013-03-05
Little concerned about a "rush order" I've been given. If they don't pay in the next few hours there won't be time to do it. 10:50:27, 2013-03-05
@ZeroShiBlue I'm throwing chicken-soup at the screen but it's not working. :( in reply to ZeroShiBlue 11:11:52, 2013-03-05
I'd love to hear what these things actually taste like. (@YouTube http://t.co/BfncwzIbpK) 11:31:15, 2013-03-05
@hackaday Auger bits, I knew it :) in reply to hackaday 12:09:50, 2013-03-05
Dell is now sporting XP Pro and a 320Gb hard-disk. Some lunch then will move it to workshop. 13:16:20, 2013-03-05
Welcome to the tsundere-dome! 14:09:14, 2013-03-05
The disposable mixing cups I use are about 10p each. Gotta manufacture silicone mixing cups. Will save in the long-run. 14:39:06, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz Skype dinner-parties? in reply to sevenhelz 14:58:36, 2013-03-05
Big office-chair has been put binned. Cut off some usable leather-textured vinyl from it first. It's crime? Being too worn & comfy. 14:59:36, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz I'll grab my electric candles. :) in reply to sevenhelz 15:00:14, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz Likewise. Having coffee for lunch again. Homemade pea & ham soup was re-boiled one too many times & got poured down the loo. :P in reply to sevenhelz 15:04:08, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz That does sound nice. Maybe I'll grill a big mushroom & put some cheese & herbs on it. :3 in reply to sevenhelz 15:13:46, 2013-03-05
@Cmdr_Hadfield All the clouds on one side, edge of sea shelf causing change in water temp? in reply to Cmdr_Hadfield 15:15:13, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz Got some "everyday seasoning" from the 99p shop. Black pepper, salt & dried garlic flakes all in one grinder. Makes toast amazing in reply to sevenhelz 15:16:52, 2013-03-05
Okay, got the kWh tarrif for the house. 9.94p, plus 28p daily rate. Now I just need to measure tool power consumption. 15:18:16, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz I probably would too if I wore the breathing mask more these days. Would probably avoid coffee too. in reply to sevenhelz 15:19:45, 2013-03-05
@Cmdr_Hadfield I love that you're riding around inside the most advanced space habitat ever built & still checking wikipedia. in reply to Cmdr_Hadfield 15:21:40, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz Usually only happens if it gets to 10pm and I'm still in the workshop. @_@ #moreoftemthanIdlike in reply to sevenhelz 15:23:49, 2013-03-05
@sevenhelz Maybe his secret super-villain alter-ego is Suduko-man? in reply to sevenhelz 15:25:02, 2013-03-05
No option-paralysis, you stop now. Laundry, HTML, then workshop. Three-step plan. 15:26:04, 2013-03-05
Photoset: arphalia: Blackout I’ve been wanting to do one of these progression posts for a while now. This… http://t.co/uVPLh1sBcQ 16:09:34, 2013-03-05
@blueybirdy First impressions count! ;) (seriously, congrats, have a nice time!) in reply to blueybirdy 17:02:51, 2013-03-05
Apparently the Dell OptiPlex GX280 has no way of monitoring the CPU temperature. Not even in the BIOS. WTF Dell? 18:59:04, 2013-03-05
Apparently the temp sensor is built into the fan itself, completely out of the loop as far as the motherboard's concerned. Terrifying. 19:01:02, 2013-03-05
Off to the hackspace. Got an engraving machine to inspect. 19:02:27, 2013-03-05
