I know you loved it. Especially the 'hoff

I ws in the area so I went for a random wander to see how much it had changed!
Kings Buildings in general has sprouted various new bits. The end of KBU near JCMB has a had a big makeover!

At long last, I'm looking into #PCB #fabrication. This is a little capacitor education tool I designed called cap-fun.

Not had this made yet, it's coming!

Entrance to NMH. Wuh….!

Wandering round an old haunt from the 90s.

Wail. That used to be May’s snack bar

@quaplek.bsky.social and @notthatexciting.bsky.social hanging out with us.... Marshmallows later perhaps.... :)

I seem to remember we had put the agents on hyper stupid mode too. It helped

That was my formative experience of law enforcement and I will never forget it!

Why do openAI let ChatGPT (attempt to) do fact-based technical imagery like this? (It’s nonsense)

Electricity and electronics are no joke.

It’ll also draw a completely stupid way to jump start your car.

Unwritten rule of UI design #634,975:

When a very common and uncomplicated operation like writing a small file to disk completes, you don’t need to breathlessly let the user know that it worked.

When signs cry out for help

I need to get more wheat bran (and wheat germ!)

The sub-gram hydration accuracy is because I make WW bread at different percentages of WW (eg 30% or 35%) so to keep hydration consistent I set the hydration just for WW as well as for white flour, then calc final hydration based on percent of WW in recipe.

When a cat is relaxed and stretches one or two paws out into the air it is “touching the ghost of Elton John”.

Yes, Elton’s still alive. But they are touching his ghost anyway. Because cats are special

There’s a few “chops” rhythms given in there too:

They’re short rhythms designed to exercise all four fundamental stick transitions in a short time

I’ve published my basic snare technique doc from a few years ago on ze bloggo.

Summerhall Arts have confirmed today they have a signed lease to secure their future. Go and visit soon to support the arts (and have a coffee at their lovely café)

I posted about my cable recognition hack which has helped my sanity.

I’ll never defeat my cable nest(s) but I can pick out a cable much quicker now from a nest or my bag!

Oh, so Apple are now going to use system notifications to advertise Apple goods and services at me?

So when I load the game again I’m *outside* the bushes and *standing up* and all the mobs can see me and my stealth idea is ruined; it becomes a hackathon.

More fool me for trying to have some fun.

Ugh, I’m getting tired of the console-ification of pc games running gameplay. Sometimes at key junctures.

Dying light 2 has form here.

The latest is that I was at the start of the epilogue. I was hidden and wanted to stealth it. I had to leave the game, was stealth in bushes at time.

Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate.

(They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase).

1) Go to your account page
2) Hit cancel
3) Change sub back.

This TV is currently being used for MiSTER. Fantastic times

* I meant SVGA, of course.

The panel picture quality isn’t great — a bit fluffy — but that kind of leans into the arcade/retro bit

(The roller switch is really not obvious, in my defence. Hidden low down in a recess on one side)

Well that was a quick “fix”! 🤣

This tv has two power buttons!

One is an electrical isolation 1/0 roller button, and other one is mainboard-based on top of the tv.

I flipped the roller switch to 1.

That’s be $80 sir

This is the panel. Costs like 40 quid, that is if you can even buy one new these days
