Ahh can't do that unfortunately. Local planning wankers don't want dropped kerbs here as it will lower the tone of the neighbourhood [1], plus there's a local covenant where the council owns half my fucking hedge, which annoyingly they cut down, replanted a shit one that died after 4 attempts at replacing it in a row and then left me to cut the manky thing and served me a notice because it was in a state.
Also to add, they only replaced the hedge because of a massive event at Twickenham Stadium so it was done as a turd polishing measure.
[1] silly because we're number one customer of police tape here.
Edit: going to move to a nice isolated house in the middle of land I own one day. Trespassers will be shot!
Must be "Keeping Up Appearances" you know. A local TV station here ran those episodes. Some funny shit. It seems that having the typical English Garden is a nation past time and almost a civic duty. I'll bet there's competitions with prizes and prestige to go along with it, right? It probably turns those normally gentle little old ladies into raving lunatics.
I knew it was a rough area but not that rough surely that it uses more of the police tape surely not
When and if that day dawns that you get your dream house, good luck getting your chinese shit delivered to your door, instead you're going to have to go outside and drive / walk to the gate etc where the poor old delivery man was shot as a trespasser and climb over the mound of previously shottrespassersdelivery men / postmen etc and collect it yourself
RIGOL DP832, anyone ? Hardly to get more bang for the buck. Linear, low ripple and noise, properly cooled (now), ...
Why not ?
It's been a while since I posted around here. Been happily busy with life and learning.
But the TEA problem has reared it's ugly head in a most vehement fashion.
I just bought a Wavetek 2410 RF Signal Generator used on Ebay. Listed as parts not working. I'm going nuts. Or just getting old and senile. Buying stuff sight unseen and hoping I can get it working. sheesh. At least I won't lose much if it is a boat anchor. Got it cheap. It does power up and show a frequency on the screen
Now to wait for it to come in.
Better start digging a trench when I get that place
TBH I know someone who lives out in the sticks in Derbyshire at the end of a rotten old dirt track and Amazon still make it out to him fine.
Was that the 'old' or 'new' Foyles? It just wasn't the same last time I was there a few years ago. To quote their history*: "Gone are the dusty piles, the confusing layout and the archaic queuing system...". I used to go in the 80s when it was an easy walk from where I used to work just off Oxford St.. I still have a book with a rather faded hand written receipt still inside it from back then.

If I remember correctly this was when Foyles were at an intermediate stage when mere mortals could buy books from the general sections on the ground floor fairly straightforwardly, but if you wanted anything academic then at least an advanced certificate, if not a degree, in foylesology was required to find and actually pay for the book you wanted.
There was a certain cachet in being able to negotiate the old Foyles. A right of passage that demonstrated that you were a scholar, not a mere reader. However, what put me off Foyles was that they evidenced little respect for the actual books they stocked, I found many mangled and misshapen volumes on the shelves there. It was not the temple to knowledge that some might have described it as, more the butcher around the corner from the temple that sold animals for the offerings.

Ah, they are trying to keep it quiet, but most of this is down to a repeat offender that the local old bill are calling, strictly between themselves, the "Twickenham Chav Stomper". Chavs are being found battered to death, with imprints of the knobs of some heavy appliance on the corpses. The police have not been able to match the forensics to any know common device and there are suspicions that it is some item of archaic electrical equipment. Enquiries continue.

Now roll on to 2018, I just googled the textbook. Albeit first edition I needed then, it's at 4th edition now and took 8 seconds to find: http://swarm.cs.pub.ro/~mbarbulescu/SMPA/CMOS-VLSI-design.pdf

That's cool - haven't played with that model before. Did you find the service manual for it? Let us know what happens and post some pics of the guts.

Edit: going to move to a nice isolated house in the middle of land I own one day. Trespassers will be shot!I say much the same thing each week when I do the lottery, if my numbers come up I'm going to buy a nice house in a landscaped garden and a gated driveway with a wall all around the garden. Spikes on top of the wall to keep the pikeys out.
Then I get an email telling me that there's good news about my entry................ I've won a luckily dip....... Arh well perhaps next week?
Have poked them with the preverbial messaging stick. Fingers crossed.
Edit: got reply. Hasn't sent it yet. People been sickIt might have been nice to have sent you a quick message to that effect though.
Let's put it in perspective... You have a higher chance of dying while the balls are moving than you do of winning the jackpot.
Starting point: assume 600,000 deaths/year in the UK.
Actually, About the only reason I am trying it is that a seller on Ebay has a scanned copy of the manual plus maintenance and schematics on a CD. I bought that right after.
I'll be happy to let you know with pics. Only God knows if I'll be able to get it to work with my mediocre skills, though. It uses a N connector for the output. Not really familiar with that connector.
What does the family think of that, especially the SWMBO?
She's surprisingly not bothered. Although I think that might be leverage for something else.If you hate it so much do what we do here. Just plant grass, mow it, and be done with it.
I'm already there. I'm thinking about planting some concrete. The rest of the gardening involves going round with an industrial sized bottle of Roundup and killing everything else growing like it was agent orange in The 'Nam.

Hi,
my "Imperium Explodium" never let me down. Pyrotechnic examples, please !
"Proof please!" is just internet garble for "I can't be arsed to do my own research to refute you."
