A real sight to see is someone who has been told the UK uses the metric system their entire lives and then they get here and everything is in miles and feet and they start to realise the extent to which we are absolute lads
Happy Canada day Canucks. I like your cheap dollar and your slightly Scottish accents. I don’t know why you eat the middle of doughnuts but well you gave us Ryan Reynolds and the BDE alone means I don’t ask questions
screen is still on the fritz but I moved things over to a wooden enclosure. looks nice but will look even nicer with some lacquer.

I realised I never look up at telegraph poles. This is the one next to my bus stop. It looks like infrastructure has been added over a range of years, clamped and screwed into place.

@audiodude It sat unopened in a tab for a long long time, but I enjoyed "Dusted", thank you.

you wouldn't COMPUTERS
Cabot and Graphite both support "public" views of their data, so I intend to create a status page for TTW so people can see if it's struggling and if I know (for example: if I have acknowledged the problem). This is all part of a push for better transparency in how this instance is run.
I'm also open to ideas about how to make it more resilient and less reliant on me -- not because I don't enjoy running it (I do!) -- but because all things fail, humans doubly so.
After what happened at the weekend I have spruced up our monitoring. Out with the under-configured Sensu installation, and in with a new Graphite install (for metrics, which are collected via collectd) and an install of the charmingly simple Cabot http://cabotapp.com/
Cabot lets you set up monitors based on Graphite metrics, HTTP status and other things I don't care about. I was going to write my own thing to do this, but someone else has, so yay!
My Maplin allen key set was looking worse for wear. I 3D printed new washers and sanded, painted and clear coated the sides to give it a new lease of life. Also ground down a tip which was damaged. If it's not a right angle it's a wrong angle. [Pictures of an allen key multi tool taken apart and then put back together]
Thanks for @audiodude for being quicker than my monitoring! We had an outage on TTW because the disk filled up like _really_ quick. I don't yet know what happened but obviously the monitoring needs to be better. I have a feeling some other user on an instance which is federated here maybe posted like ... a huge amount of media? Not sure yet though. I'm working on it tho!
happy fathers day if your dad sucks i'm your dad now. i'm so proud of you
I'm now officially basic.
Cool, @tildetown was reported for spam. It's kind of hard to disagree though.
I was surrounded by some old very cool stuff and it was very cool.
I need to blow this conspiracy wide open 😱
BEHANDLA is made of different stuff in different countries! It's beeswax based in Canada, tung oil in the UK and linseed in Australia.
I guess it's just sold as generic "made wood slightly better" sauce.

Just renewed the TTW cert, excuse any blip.
I've spent the evening playing with this dude. What else would you call a Canadian power tool that gnaws on wood?
