Is that a Pinarello frame?

I didn't know they made anything besides road bikes.

[noisyturtle]

Having no money's forced me into sobriety, and now all I think about is how much I hate everything.

Made an offer on a house.

Wow!

Hope it works out

Sitting through the third run today of

Code: [Select]

watch cat /proc/mdstat
Trying to get a 4-disk raid5 working under mdadm, I've already twice gotten to a point where I've discovered I've missed important steps.

Each rebuild takes 6+ hours. Set one going while I was at work, but the others have just been painful. Going to let this one run overnight.

I just want a server that works :/

[iri]

Is that a Pinarello frame?

i guess so. at least it has "pinarello" written on it in three places.

I didn't know they made anything besides road bikes.

this is a flat bar road bike which i assembled myself from parts from various sources.

Made an offer on a house.

good luck with your offer!

Keycap puller.  The loop on the right side is ring bolt hitching.  Tied that using 6 strands of the same stuff as a core.  It runs the entire length and that is the core for the double moku hitching to tie it all together.  The wires will be coming out of the right side.  I just need to learn a new knot to terminate the ends of the right bolt hitching from the beginning.  This is mostly to help with finishing it nice and clean.

Here is a link to where I learned about these hitchings.  http://www.frayedknotarts.com/tutorials/coxcombing/coxcombing.html

I moved today! (yesterday - no internet yet... zzzzzzzzzz)



I clearly know what's up.  First thing I did was setup Mario Kart 8 and forget about the pile of boxes behind me.

Ah, the joy of an empty room - a blank slate into which you can artfully arrange your belongings into a tidy and efficient workspace.

Last time I tried to do that (end of last year) I ended up very quickly with at least as much mess as I had at the old house, except that I have lost a few things.

It's a good feeling!  And thankfully in this case I'm going from living in a 12'x12' room to a 3 bedroom duplex (shared with one other person) with a huge basement, so I will definitely have less clutter than ever before.  :D

Next challenge: unpack and settle in.

Today I had to remove the plasti dip from the face plate of my Synology NAS that has to be returned for RMA service.

I read that the WD40 dissolves plasti dip but I didn't believe it until I tried it.  While it dissolves the plasti dip even in the tight nooks and crannies, you'll still have to clean up all the WD40 and dissolved plasti dip.  This is so much easier than picking at the corners with a rag, toothpick, and/or toothbrush.

I think I'll put my listening room in the basement.       and there is a garage, so that's nice too, especially in winter.

wasn't really possible due to the things supporting the tiles but i wanted to

i just figured out how to do **** you're not supposed to here
do it all casual and the teacher thinks there's a reason behind it or something

Today I had an exciting first venture into car repair. I repaired my TCU... now the automatic shifting on the transmission works again! Huzzah! I will tell you... working with that PCB was a severe mother****er. First time working on a multilayer pcb. Components soldered on both sides with solder that took the heat of the sun to melt. I had to turn my soldering station to 900 and it was still not easy took a while to heat it up. Then of course I couldn't suck it up with my lame solder sucker so I had to use wiggle method on 2 blown capacitors leaking crap all over and 3 fried resistors that were black and flaky. FUN TIMES!

Congrats!  That sounds like one helluva repair.    Was purchasing a new PCB too expensive?  Last time one of my PCBs  in my truck (windshield wipers) crapped out I just bought a new one for 15 bucks.  Guessing the TCU board is a bit more?

built a party lounge for my buddies in my basement. they pitched in to help me get a 46 inch TV, already had mini fridge and general computer **** set up, friends donated semi-retro to modern day consoles, and home theatre system coming soon.

also bought Chrome cast (kinda underwhelming) and moved a couch down there (pain in the ass). ordered pizza and played wii mainly for today and poker til 2 am. was fun but I'm tired af

Yes it's like a $100 part but instead I fixed it for $1.90.

i wanted to spend this day on the seaside, but teh missus said her shoes and a skirt broke so she grabbed her friend and they went shopping...

while she was shopping, i checked air tickets and decided we won't go to sweden on june holidays, spent a lot of time researching on what tropical country to go on january holidays, paid insanely high $45 bills, bought some fresh beer and catalonian wine, lubed the bicycle chain, fixed recessed lighting in the kitchen, sharpened all the kitchen knives, cleaned drains and fixed door hinges for bathroom and toilet doors.

also 15 minutes ago saturn came back to me.

As you probably know, the Internet is where men are men, women are also men and children are FBI agents. Today, I talked some random kid at another forum into buying a mechanical or vintage keyboard. He wanted to try some switches then and I offered I'd meet him and show him some of my keyboards. The kid eventually claimed he was an obese 12-year-old schoolboy. Oh Gaben... I'm in trouble.
