Flew over the Red Lion on the crosswind leg with me at the controls - How many had a similar view 70-odd years ago?
-
Cools!

Yep, PropNut has it. Ran about 30m of cat5 from the room with the router in it via the loft to the computer room. Nice to have a halfway decent connection again.

Bout time you stubborn ole Git ;-)

That'd be me then...

@Blubear - well it does hold the universe together...
@FT - no-one took it off, it fell off!
-
I am fairly sure that Jabo drives a Morgan. But I'm surprised to learn that they make a van.
-
@Tribunus - Morgan? I wish

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.
-
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......

is scratching his head over wiring the 'switchbox v2'

Addendum, problem solved - well, put off really as my soldering iron has burnt out. More shopping tomorrow!
-
Hmm, opto-isolators, eh? That's a little way (several light-years, geddit?) beyond my understanding! My system involves a rising platform, a castle, a strange assistant and an electrical storm ;-)
-
No, still doesn't work...Grrrr
-
is wondering why on earth he's opted for an outside job in the middle of winter...

I don't think the legions had BT broadband in the Castra, or maybe the legatus needed his fix of internet. I wouldd rather have snow and cold than heat. Frostbite is quite unpleasant though.

We have a saying here: "There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes." But in my language it rhymes though LOL.

kimos right. have the right gear, its fine, ware 19th century wool and cotton, freeze to death. theres lots of decent modern fabrics out there which are awesome, my problem when working outside in winter is often being to hot, except for my hands.

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
-
At the end of next week I will be stripping my rig down, cleaning and then popping in the 780 Ti and 4k monitor
-
Brando - did you forget to pull the BIOS battery first?

Taken up poledancing Nick?
-
Is that an euphemism Jabo? "You dirty old man."
-
Hello GK, and no sadly it wasn't. Interesting that the tech will enable me to post into the forum from up a 14m pole - lol
-
is bored so is reinstalling Windows while listening to a spot of Iron Maiden.
-
