The TV Set of Dooom
I’ve been working, with John, on the set. It appears that the chopper thyristor may be the killer that’s leading to the fuse blowing rather rapidly on turn-on.
It’s now eaten a collection of antisurge fuses. Which is annoying.

MZ ETZ 251R
Is it wrong to covet someone elses MZ? I have MZ envy.
Oh, and watch the film. The film’s not wildly, wildly exciting (but it does feature an MZ) but the music is terribly terribly cool.

Sooo Cold.
It’s not actually cold you understand, just cool.
But if you spend an hour and a half washing 2 cars and a bike then suddenly it really does become quite cold. Distressingly Lauren’s Fiat, which I gave a quick wash (all the washes were really a lick and a promise (which doesn’t mean much coming from me…. when it comes to washing cars…. not a reliable person)) came up really nice and shiny, wheras Rebecca, well, she looks barely like she’s been washed. ‘cept the wheels.
Although that’s partially my desire to leave the coating of oil on any parts coated with oil, and my lack of-botheredness about washing the wings which are due for replacement more than just a wipe with the sponge.
The bike however was a nightmare. It’s not been washed for… more than a year. Possibly more like 2 years. The rear alloy wheel, which was once silver was black. Completely black. Black like the night. The exhaust, which is chrome, in places, was black. Everything was filthy, really filthy, or very very dirty.
Despite my best efforts, the fact that it was really really cold when you got wet meant that after about 2/3s of the rear wheel I gave up on that. I think I need some alloy wheel cleaner. Scratch that, I *know* I need some alloy wheel cleaner. A hell of a lot of it. But she looks a lot better. The top box is also somewhat filthy still, the oil seems to be nicely ground in to it. Still, if I locate some enthusiasm and give it another wash in the near future I should be able to work towards cleanliness in stages :-)

A day of stuff
So,
It’s been a bit of a ‘day’ really. It’s been my last day of placement; took my cake along (which they all raved about, strange people, it was only banana cake!), managed to sort out a card, having not managed to find one I liked yesterday, got it all sorted and done in time. Got all the work for the placement signed off.
It’s always an odd feeling leaving a placement. Particularly one I’ve enjoyed. It’s kinda like quitting a job you’re actually enjoying. Still, it’s one step closer to qualifying.
Lauren managed to more or less kick me into getting the last of the Regolith stuff down to PK Music Exchange. So, that’s all gone. End of another era, more or less. Just the Mac to go now.
And then I got the news about ‘the big project’. They want to go ahead, but uh, not really with me. Or not really with me involved in such a big way. And they can’t make promises about me being involved at all – and I’m not sure how involved I’d want to be if it wasn’t, uh, the way it was ‘original envisaged’. It’s kinda mine and Nikki’s idea and… well… I dunno. Anyway, it’s kinda left me in a sucky mood. Was going to do some stuff, now really don’t feel like it.

The big old V-day
So, uh, been a little while since I posted….
A week, actually. During which I’ve… been sick. I’ve actually been way better, the day after the 37.7 deg temperature I started to feel better, not like ‘going back to work’ better, but significantly better. I guess it’s like most fevers, they hit a peak of awful and then you start to feel better.
