I am going to acquire an aircon unit for my flat, if that fails (shops are sold out so far) I will attempt to build some sort of evaporative cooling device. This will of course involve tools, which I will need to buy, so I am quite excited.
With luck I will also be refining my lightning photography technique.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

I'm really looking at it as an excuse to by a Dremel. And perhaps a new soldering iron.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostOh nice!!! Tell us the power ratings and speeds of them when you get them. Also throw in which attachements come with it for added wow factor!!
The cooler itself will be some tea towels and a frame and some sort of ducting to connect it to some fans. Unless I can get a proper aircon unit.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

I'm going on a "Gentlemen's Weekend" in Bournemouth."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

They're probably smelling and making burping noises, as they generally do, but as for the Tester clan, we're out for dinner this evening in a local gastro-pubbish place, I'll be at athletics training tomorrow morning, then I'm giving a sprint training for a group of ladies from the rugby club and the handball club (even being paid for it as part of plan B), then relaxing with some fine burgundy.Originally posted by norrahe View PostSo what are the general populus up to?
Sunday; ooh, training again, then a longish bike ride if the weather's good. Then roast lamb and some more burgundy, with probably a couple more glasses of burgundy to top it all off. Mind you, I've recently acquired a taste for Friesian whisky. It seems to combine a slight peatiness of a good single malt Scotch, with the hint of vanilla you get from Irish whiskey. Not bad at all.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

In what can only be described as a moment of total geekiness, I have just downloaded something called "solid edge" and I shall be designing cooling device using that. Assuming it isn't the most complicated thing in the world, which it might be.
