    was a bit bored today so took the rig to pieces and cleaned everything in nice, soapy water (ok, maybe not quite), installed it all back in a new case with new fans, cables & LEDs so I can see where to plug things in, re-worked my standard build iso to include a few exra programs and reinstalled the lot - takes about 30 minutes now. I'll get the controllers sorted in due course - but it's been a nice day.

      I just put mine in the dish washer and now I'm trying for the guinness record for hugest paperweight ;)

    So I was in the attic earlier looking for my rucksack. Didn't find it before finding a large colony of bees who've set up home in my roof. Needless to say I exited the attic with alacrity and no rucksack.

      Sure they're bees? Wasps are more likely to swarm in attics - and you need to get them removed if they are wasps.

    3. Jabo

      Jabo

      Definitely bees

      It's funny that I just saw this. A local guy just got killed by a swarm of bees while doing an attic cleanout and his partner got put in the hospital. Retreat was most assuredly the best option, discretion being the better part of valor and all......

    will be offline for a short while practising my PC rebuild technique. No problems, just time for a declag of the innards and a fresh win 7 install. Gives me a chance to sanity check the build disk I've put together for Painless too..
