• Anyone else notice Dail Fail's "Magnetic Woman" seems to be attracting *non-ferrous* metals? http://bit.ly/9iZkBc 11:36:23, 2010-08-20
• It's hard to find *closed* 4mm jump-rings. Still, open may do. Just like to be confident in these things. 13:01:50, 2010-08-20
• I bought £63 of food today. Lots and lots of veg. Should last me several weeks I hope! Gonna make lamb stew tonight and freeze it down. 18:30:27, 2010-08-20
• Over the full travel of the X-axis, the table rises by 0.06mm when wound full to the right. Motion shifts it by ~0.015 at full extension. 18:53:59, 2010-08-20
• Less than 0.01mm variation on the Y-axis. So slides are very good. Worn leadnuts probably cause of directional "jumps" in reading. 19:00:51, 2010-08-20
• The vertical seems to move 0.01 out for every 0.2mm it's raised. Seems linear, so head's probably on at a slight angle. 19:15:29, 2010-08-20
• Shaking the whole machine by the millhead makes it waver by 0.2mm. But I am shaking the whole machine side to side for that. 19:16:44, 2010-08-20
• @ThrashWolf Here, grab yourself the whole Rant Media back-catalogue while you're at it. http://www.rantmedia.ca/ in reply to ThrashWolf 19:18:20, 2010-08-20
• @ThrashWolf Yup, one of these: http://www.chesteruk.net/store/conquest_lathe.htm Why? in reply to ThrashWolf 19:27:34, 2010-08-20
• @ThrashWolf Yeah, I reckon so. Tip might be tricky, but some pre-made bits I could could buy that would work there. in reply to ThrashWolf 19:44:49, 2010-08-20
• Lamb stew's going to sit overnight now. It'll mature and the pearl barley will soak up the excess juice. Smells gorgeous. 22:08:02, 2010-08-20
• @ThrashWolf £50-60? Presuming that painting the ring at the top will be ok. Anodising it would be expensive. in reply to ThrashWolf 22:22:00, 2010-08-20
• @BoingBoing So someone at Banzai had to go searching for tiny children for a photo-shoot? That must have been an unsettling advert to place. in reply to BoingBoing 22:38:14, 2010-08-20
• @JezzabelleNFC *hugs ya* in reply to JezzabelleNFC 23:08:14, 2010-08-20

• I found an industry statement from the latest #ACTA talks. Or is it the #RIAA radio chip talks? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1XszR9SJ2w 23:23:00, 2010-08-20
• Do not burp into your full-face breathing mask. D: 23:45:23, 2010-08-20
