Snoo V7 - ah spring, has sprung, a SNOO! (bless you).

It's not a pot, it's a variable transformer; and inside the plastic box it's glorious to look at -- but also, the whole thing is very much live. And I want to take extra special care with my one remaining cat, Spook. He already gets too close to my soldering iron, trying to get high on thr flux fumes.

Obviously, more polished rosewood and brass would have been nicer to look at; but a gal's gotta make do with what she can scrape together. The early testing phases were even less steampunk, with a USB experiment board plugged into the laptop to control the grid voltage and measure the cathode current. And the laptop contains about a billion "valves" in just the processor and the graphics chipset .....
 
Oh really? I take that back then! variable transformer probably beats even rheostat, I don't think I've even seen one of them. till now.

Although if it looked like this then I'd be even happier:

Hi pinkpapaver! I was actually thinking you'd be interested when I posted that. Nice to see you back :)

@ Knock -- yeah, that's the sort of thing; but on mine, the actual windings and the sliding contact are totally exposed. Also, there's only a single winding -- it's an autotransformer. So I use a bathroom shaver socket (that I managed to pick up from a pound store! Someone must have picked them up as a job lot with no idea what they were really worth) plugged into the output as an isolating transformer. It looks good for about 20 - 30 VA.

Bring back Dominik Diamond's dick jokes and poorly-rendered naked women.

Absolutely.

I was randomly struck by the meaning of 'Dominik's Big Purple Column' in GamesMaster magazine the other week.

Young snolly just assumed it was cos it was a magazine column and it had a purple background
 
I've had a sad, angry and trifle annoyed week, but have two bigs snoos:

I managed to be mostly GBL free this week. It was sleepless, sweaty and painful at times, but I got through Monday, Tuesday and Thursday with no G. Wednesday I had some wine and slipped afterwards due to alcohol related judgement lapse. The other days though I remained sober. Got through stress with exercise or meditation. It doesn't yet feel sustainable but breaking long addictions maybe never does at first. On it tonight as it's Friday and I deserve a "treat" but of course it's not really doing what I want it for in my head. Those relaxed happy motivated G days are long gone.

Other snoo is that I went on a date, and actually really liked the guy. We got on really well and had a laugh, and were attracted to each other. It's been such a long time since I felt like that, and I'm quite excited that I'm in a mental place where I can feel like that. I may have played it too keen with this guy (no, I didn't declare eternal love or even say "I like you", I just suggested a second date... but he was too busy. Either actually too busy or letting me down gently - ok with me either way). If he was put off by that and needs me to play hard to get then he's not the man for me. Even if I don't see him again I'm really happy about what this means about my general mental state. I do hope things turn out well and I can one day tell him what this meant to me.

Happier times might be ahead. Overall a good week even with all the shitty bits.
 
Thanks knock! :)

A good friend of mine described me as "relentlessly positive", and reading back my post I can see why. It may look like that from the outside looking in but most of the time it's a dark place inside my head. Hopefully it'll start getting lighter! Thanks BL for being here through my dark dark times, even though I've lurked more than I've posted I'll always appreciate it <3
 
Sup yo, hope you get a shift on towards that lightl You're a sweet person, you deserve it.

Snoo for me was an email just now informing me that my application to change my degree was accepted. Hell of excited about going back to uni now :D
 
Snoo for me today was going to jobcentre to sign on and dreading what grief I may get.
Ended up seeing a lovely friendly lady who was helpful and had me all sorted out in 10mins flat.
Today was a good day.
 
Being told I'm 'gorgeously cute' by the woman I love, apropos of nothing. It's been nearly two years, on and off, but it means the world when I feel like shit, especially because she's genuinely stunning and I'm like...well I dunno how I see myself. It depends. Really feel lucky to have her.

Also, sleeping on top of one duvet and under another. If I had benzos I'd be the most comfortable person on earth. And I might, but fuck knows where they are if I do.
 
Snoo because by water is back to normal. Neighbour tells me they only turned off the tap under their sink. So I'm fucked come the apocalypse, the plan had been to barricade the front door and live off beans but now any cunt that gets in downstairs can turn off my water :( Oops that's annoyed, sorry.
 
Snoo,woke up this morning thinking that it was Sunday.
My mate had the day off work on Friday so I felt like Saturday had already been and gone.

Wish i had gone a £1 e/w but hey i' m happy with that .

Son't mean to sound dumb (but it comes quite easy to me, I'm sure my mom was doing paint when I was a baby alongside her gear) but can you give me in the most simple way how that works Brimz?

My 2nd best mate is big time into horse & dog racing & keeps asking me to join him at the local bookies but I got no idea how it works.

As I said in the other thread, he won just over £30 today & scored some nice b & had a toot with me so I feel like I owe him & am thinking about giving it a try & see what I can win.
I know that Beginers look stuff does work as the 1st time I ever had a go at Poker I got a royal flush & cleaned up so I am hoping my 1st ever horse or dog bet will make me a nice few £'s.
Sad to say I've never come near a royal flush since & I been playing Texas hold 'em now for several years.
 
I am beting online & saw a Hawse called Marmalady n using my Bet365 account that has about £14 in atm bet on said horse to finish 1st - a win bet & each Way that is to finish in the 1 st 3 .

It was 7/1 so i won £4.20 n got the £1 that i staked back .

I'm up about £ 6 so far as i have been betting on a few horses 2day n i also have a Footy bet this evening which could potentially net me another £16
 
I'm going to go to Ladbrokes and place a bet on my early and unglamorous death.

Whaddya reckon the odds would be? Winnings donated to charity (i.e.schoolgirls paid to sob at my funeral).
