Has anyone got one these vices?

@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu Yes:) Just got one but I can't work out how to make it swivel :(

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu You'd think so but doesn't seem to do anything

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu Tried that one :)

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu I need someone who's got one :)

@deshipu I've managed to move it! - I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxXh0YTuKKk - it is VERY VERY stiff - but putting a LOT of effort - I got it to move by twisting it first

Just had an email telling to get ready for a train tomorrow to Ledbury???
Turns out I've managed to book the outward journey to for tomorrow instead of the 30th!

@yaxu Didn't see anything about free on the website when I changed it.

The ticket wasn't expensive so not a big hit :)

Note to past self - why didn't you install #TimeShift when you setup Linux Mint!

I have to admit, sometimes my modified @GurgleApps running @microblocks can require some cognitive effort to tell the time :)

Out for a walk in the woods.

@biglesp I'd heard of Marton Mere but didn't realise it was up your way :)

There was quite a heated debate online tonight about why the Eurovision Song Contest didn't look quite right. And the answer is complex, it's not actually technical reason, it's down to how our brains interpret the world! So I wrote a post about it:

@simon I never noticed anything amiss at all

Oh man, Eurovision is a mess right now. What are they doing over there??? Are their bits flipped by the solar flares??

#eurovision

Current position in our household. I'm planning on watching all of it except for one act. Eldest is boycotting it entirely. Youngest is watching it all

Some edge lit neopixels from Pimoroni, a Wemos D1 and wled, crammed into a recycled lightning bolt LED light frame.

5x5 (Sparkle Matrix from Redfern Electronics) clock driven by running @microblocks

What time is it showing?

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@tripplehelix @microblocks Actually not.

The philosophy is that the hours hand points to next hour if minute hand is past 30 mins.

So this is indicating quarter to ten

How do I get back the standard #GIMP layers option in the top box

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu There is no tab to drag :) - its disappeared :(

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu OK -did that thanks. But now got two c0pies of the lower tab. I'm after the default which is (AFAIR from 30 minutes ago!) a list of text options like delete layer - anchor down etc etc

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

I decided to launch a VM and install so I could show everyone what I was talking about but the default doesn't look like what I had at all :(

I think I've lost the plot here! :)

I SWEAR I used to have useful Layer options written in text like Duplicate Layer, Anchor Layer etc in the top pane

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@Extelec Yes - the text in the top section but I used to have it visible all the time in top right-hand pane
