Morning denizens

Up for 7am to deal with the grand Opening of the Gate for the Bins. It was quite bright then, but chilly. Then I went straight back to bed and am feeling much better for the extra sleep. Now it's a bit overcast, but warmer

The roadies only understand amps that go to 10. Mine goes to 11. It's one louder.

Wimp.

The asker of incredibly obtuse questions is attempting to program PICs.

It must be the way I teach it, I'm sure.

Attempt one:

    0x06 BTFSC

Attempt two:

    BTFSC

Attempt three:

    BTFSC portA

Attempt four:

    BTFSC portA,1

Exercise done, meetings had, fighting with GIT...

It's turning a bit Simpsons out there now

I presume this is so the sun can get in my eyes when I'm driving to the shops

Greggs sausage roll for lunch

I followed the cooking instructions exactly, right down to the oddly-specific 28 minute cooking time. It's slightly overdone

I'll follow my own instincts next time.

Ah, just checked - it's the steak bakes and chicken bakes that are 28 minutes; sausage rolls are 25 minutes. Still, the extra three minutes won't have made that much difference. I reckon the temperature needs to be a little lower than 220°C too.

I often think that too, when the pie lid goes the black side of brown.

If using a fan oven, try 10°C less heat....

No, just an ordinary gas oven. It seems to be slightly miscalibrated, according to my oven thermometer, so I set it one gas mark lower than the packaging recommended, which gets it to the actual recommended temperature of 220°C, which is what the temperature was at right through to when I took it out.

Of course I have no way of knowing if the thermometer is correctly calibrated, but if it was reading low that would make the cooker even more out of whack, and it's brand new so it seems unlikely it'd be wrong by more than 20°C.

Maybe I was supposed to put it on a lower shelf. In the middle of the oven might be the right place.

I'll have to go to Iceland for a few more boxes of sausage rolls and carry out a number of experiments
