Correct! We used to go to St Fagans quite often - both on school trips and with parents/grandparents

I have a few recipes…and there are at least two more bakestone books somewhere in the house

Welsh cakes and bara planc (especially the fruited version of bara planc!)

@gkt-wales.bsky.social Bara brith, bara saim, and most importantly (for me) bara planc 😋

I nibbled the corners off with a quite blast of a grinding disk in a Proxxon handheld drill (similar to a Dremel)

The case gives it a nice bit of protection, and the thermal pad material spreads any heat created using the load to the enclosure

Robin Davies @rdavies6.bsky.social · 14h

I nibbled the corners off to squeeze into a small die cast enclosure. I used some soft thermal pad material to help shift any heat to the enclosure as well

😆😁👍 I think both mechanisms actually work well…but I do suspect many Linux boxes are potentially quite out of date if the updates are manually initiated!

Robin Davies @rdavies6.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

So you instead run ‘sudo apt get update’ every few days for the next bunch of regular updates…

Tokyo isn’t the only place parakeets have settled! They are now a very common sight in London too! I see and hear them everyday

Sounds like it definitely isn’t a network cable…which suggest the separation distance is smaller than could be achieved over a typical network. I really appreciate you asking👍

Robin Davies @rdavies6.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

I’ll let you know how I get on with it!

I’ve been going through boxes everyday for the last week for a few hours a day. I am making slow progress…slowly but surely. This was the pile of boxes when I started…and somewhere under there a small workbench exists…

Trying to tidy up my garage & make it usable again. Making good progress…but hit a box of radio gear, some of which has never been opened, including an interesting Cross Country Wireless antenna www.crosscountrywireless.net/terminated_i.... I may need some time to read, study & play for a bit…

Surprised the fridge freezers are connected…I could understand their being remote sensors…but having fully remote freezer units seems a little excessive!

Robin Davies @rdavies6.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Still remarkable clement weather! And I think it’s supposed to get warmer again soon🎉

Robin Davies @rdavies6.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

That will keep the bonce warm on a cold day

Robin Davies @rdavies6.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

What sort of connections between the dispkay unit and the base unit? Proprietary, ethernet, serial? Any clue from the unit there? I’m wondering if the base unit can be remote and connected via Ethernet

For the month we were there in August & September, the skies were constantly grey and cloudy…so I could understand their wonder at seeing the sun!

Recursive islands en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursi... ! This feels like something @G7SOZ would know about

Does feel like someone hit the winter switch this week. Porridge for breakfast seems good central heating for the body. We did resort to heated blankets last night & had the cosiest sleep, even without the heating on. We’ll hold off turning the heating on…hopefully for a few more weeks

Last weekend, my wife used left over doner meat last to make up a fried rice…god, it was delicious! However that pizza looks a little ‘underwhelming’🤔🫤

…this dialog has also brought out some AI accounts…which nicely allows me to block them🎉🙌

Robin Davies @rdavies6.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Exactly…what’s the point🤷‍♂️ If making the contact is so important, do it without the freaking AI slop support!

Robin Davies @rdavies6.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Fucking waste of time…what are they trying to achieve…bloody AI slop

It’s a fun series… we still have 2 more episodes to watch, but it really has made us laugh…plus I freakin’ love Chae Soo Bin (even with 70s style big perm hair)

Correct…small slices get devoured in 4 bites; large slices of toast only take one more bite… it’s the law

Thank you Guy. Perfect! As a toddler, I reckon I spent more time than I should watching the BBC2 Trade Test films. i seriously believe they were one of the most formative influences in steering my life & interests www.testcardcircle.org.uk/ttcfatoz.html

Would love to know what temperature they kept their house at! I bet they’ve already out their heating on more than a couple of days this week…

The (multiple😳) wheelie bins we now have have definitely been an advancement in domestic refuse disposal…

As kids, we had baths in one of those galvanised wash tubs…😳

This book looks absolutely sumptuous and gorgeous! I think I’ll try getting hold of this as a Christmas present to myself
