• @meekoblue Not everyone reading this is in the UK though. in reply to meekoblue 17:31:12, 2011-08-04
• @meekoblue I used the word "current" because it focusses the mind on current government issues rather than rose-tinted glasses of memory. in reply to meekoblue 17:35:22, 2011-08-04
• @meekoblue To say "any" government is unfocussed and allows the fantasy of uncorruptable futures and idealised pasts. in reply to meekoblue 17:36:24, 2011-08-04
• Still no idea what to do with this old key-cutting machine. 17:38:46, 2011-08-04
• Time-delay fabric-bonding test is go. 17:54:55, 2011-08-04

• Want to find the magic point where the fabric will bond to it without soaking right through. 17:56:49, 2011-08-04

• Scope works fine until I try and turn it upright. Can't see any loose cables. 20:11:46, 2011-08-04
• Fault found! Large wire-wound resistor end-cap broken. Time to dig into that box of vintage radio spares. 20:21:29, 2011-08-04
• Resistor is a FP76, 5KI, 5%, logo a W inside an omega/ohms symbol. Have several similar, even same make, but no 5K. Trying to repair it. 20:42:50, 2011-08-04
• Don't use it often, but I do love this soldering-gun. 20:54:25, 2011-08-04
• Well Channel 2 is still jammed at the bottom of the screen even at max position setting, but Channel 1 seems to work ok. 21:40:35, 2011-08-04
• Treadmills are designed by psychopaths. Just bridged two terminals by accident. They read as 8v AC. But enough current to blow a 10A fuse! 22:23:54, 2011-08-04
