    @k I wish I could even get my wheels off the ground nowadays, think I'm a bit too old man for that sort of riding now.

    matt303,

    @k I've just booked mine in for a service, I think my procrastination has paid off again as when I asked for a quote on Tuesday it was £88, phoned today to book £67, not sure what's going off there unless they forgot the VAT. Highest I've had quoted was £150 which is a bit of a cheek given they don't actually change anything on this service on an EV 🙄

    Me: I hate doing marketing.

    <does a marketing, sales go up 750%>

    Me: Oh no.

    matt303,

    @jamesthomson think of it as unsolicited life coaching 😉

    I've just thrown a little bit in the pot for #OctoPrint, given the number of users of the software hopefully it won't take more than a modest donation to keep the project gong. If you use it please consider donating, a fraction of what you spend on consumables will keep the development going. https://octoprint.org/blog/2023/10/26/we-need-to-talk-about-funding/ #3dprinting

    XBox 360 dev kit.

    matt303,

    @glymph I had two of these on my desk for a while when working on Kameo soon replaced by the very early dev kits that ran the fans full speed most the time. Also set up the one that "Gravy" had at home so he could run early builds of @llamasoft_ox's VLM

    Scotland coming in on the radio this morning! 2M1ADM

    matt303,

    @ai6yr Yeah been pretty good today on 10m, I could hear plenty west coast US over here in England. Seemed to be some sort of QSO party thing going off.

    @k I've spent the day trying to get all the features into a graphing component for some UI in d3, it's sort of working but in learning how to do what I want to do the code became spaghetti, need to step back before I start refactoring

    matt303,

    @k yeah, meetings in 10 mins and I'm well ahead with my sprint so taking my time and thinking things through, if I try and rush I end up flustered and my focus goes.

    @k at least you've not had a sprint planning meeting at 4pm on a Friday with 10 coders where no work items have been assigned before the meeting started, I've just quit it having got my items 🙄

    Miraculously it's not raining. I am sitting in the middle field and chilling with the boys.

    matt303,

    @llamasoft_ox remarkably warm and sunny here, I'm tinkering with radio bits in the garden :)

    Found a picture of the abomination on reddit, just look at this.

    Slyly shrinking the pack is one thing but doing so AND increasing the price is a blatant poke in the eye.

    I'm tempted to put the sheep on Lidl own brand now.

    matt303,

    @llamasoft_ox our Aldi shop seems to be getting bigger and branded shops at other supermarkets getting smaller.

    Removed VS 2017 from my taskbaa and replaced it with VS 2022.

    matt303,

    @llamasoft_ox I'm still using 2019 for work stuff, did start nudging the team that we should maybe look at migrating to 2022 before we are more than a version behind.

    My microwave is 24.5 years old and still going strong. 🐂

    matt303,

    @llamasoft_ox There's probably a 1980's vintage Sharp branded microwave in the loft of a house on Cefn Llan in
    Waun Fawr that I stashed there while a student and couldn't be bothered to take with me.

    matt303,

    @k I've taken my radio and electronics corners of my office to bits and slowly putting things back, so many wires. One day I'll paint this room but it's so rammed it'll be a 3 or 4 day job.

    matt303,

    @k Check out WLED, you can get 5m roles of the individually controllable strip for about £24 then an ESP32 board + power supply.

    matt303,

    @k this was the strip I got, not a bad price for 60LED/m https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09VXT1D98

    https://gn-tronics.dev/@k When I moved from Brighton I saw my XBox drop from the top of the box van to the floor, still bloody worked, unlike every XBox that followed.

    matt303,

    https://gn-tronics.dev/@k I've still boxes from when I moved from Brighton and I've moved several times since then 😂

    Bye bye BoJo, you useless, toxic, blundering, conniving piece of shit

    matt303,

    @witewulf I can guarantee we've not seen the last of him.

    Driven past this house a few times recently, the craftsmanship on that breeze block wall is something else 😂, then you notice the where the roof meets the house 😲
