    Suppose to be WFW but need to find an alternative location as office is currently faulty.
    Felt rotten yesterday afternoon/evening, feeling a bit better now but will see how it goes.

    You ok thistle? Cider will help.

    Walk hounds, small circuit, work stuff, big skip turns up so put some censored in that and then cider. Basically economic on movement and maximise sleep are the plan, something I normally always reverse

    The chaos of testing before school.

  • oxomanoxoman Posts: 11,439
    Morning Slackers. Off shift enjoying the peace and maybe a ride out. Recent blood test results came back so looks like I need to get out more and also take Vitamin D supplement. DHL I feel your pain on the test malarkey, I wanted to force the swab stick further up oxoteens nose just to see if any brains up there. Just occasionally we wonder if there is anything up there or whether he's sat on them. Luckily negative on all tests so far.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    The biggest pain is submitting the results. First to Test register" takes about 30s. Then to gov. Takes about 20 mins. Wtf designs this stuff? No wonder they cant trace anyone with all the obstacles and duplication. People just give up. Anyway, off-topic for an off topic thread.

    Today I am mostly meeting final project students in Teams, then BSI committee meeting in zoom.
    I've also ordered some nvidia jetson nano boards to look at using machine learning with nextcyears projects.

    Decided this is a fake account designed to wind us up about the weather.

    Next picture needs to have a tin of custard in it too

    And yesterday I saw this moored over on the bay I swim at some days.

    Apparently 45 metres long, and available for charter at USD $88,000 per week.

    🙄

    It’s an old pistonheads thing when a poster claimed to be Jason Plato and someone suggested the custard test

    ? That one is not a panorama pic, just landscape on the phone.

    My pano pix sometimes show a bit of that bend effect for extreme range pans, but not bad really. These are iPhone images, maybe the stitching software corrects it pretty well? This is about the widest pano pic I have. Horizon is fairly flat still

    Busy already in here.

    Found a solution for your moles TLW:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkUFxJoPJRA

    Was foggy but that's lifted and it's glorious sunshine and no wind. Must get at it.

    Isn't it near your bedtime Spinner?
    Seems a lot for the hire of a sailing yacht.

    Still early, just finished dinner @ 9pm. 🙄

    That boat was sold a couple years ago, asking 18 million Euro at the time, so I guess the weekly hire with crew included has to recoup some of that.

  • MattFalleMattFalle Posts: 11,644
    Just a quick one mecs....

    does anyone know of a 'phone app that recreates the old Casio Jogger's watch pacing system - ie beeps for each pace given a set speed?

    Still knucking fackered after yesterdays road trip. Need more sleep, instead I've got to deal with idiots and drink coffee instead.

    Stropteen is busy with online lectures, not sure why she came home yesterday as I thought term was finished. I suspect it was more to do with the fact she's run out clean clothes judging by the number of bin bags full of stuff that got piled into the back of The Panzer yesterday. Strangely enough, the washing machine has been going non-stop since breakfast time...
