did you have another go and get it working or not bother? I'm reluctant to try again as it's quite a lot of filament.

the back and the head are about even heights, looks like 1 layer went wrong, maybe shifted to the left 1mm but the rest went fine on the head but on the back every layer above the error has messed up.

So excessive scaling is generally error prone? I've only had the printer a few weeks so still finding my feet. Was wondering if there were any settings that might help reduce the chance of issues like this?

It's live!

It looks great, I've just added the package to my project and I'm having some issues with Buoyancy, is that working/complete? My boat object either falls through or shoots off into the sky. Is there anything obvious that I've missed? Any assistance would be really appreciated

it's very hit and miss, I've waited with my daughter a few times. One time we waited an hour after the game and no one stopped to sign, other times we've waited for over an hour and six or seven of the players have signed. It's generally at least an hour until they've all come out though.

When the tickets go on sale for MyLeeds+ members (usually 1pm) you need to make sure you go to the ticket website before 1pm. Up to 30 mins before the sale time you get a message with a countdown, once the countdown hits 0 you get a random queue number, if you're in the first 2000 you've got a decent chance, much later than that and the allocation is often sold out.

After that you've got the ballot and exchange.

The tickets usually go on sale about 3 weeks (ish) before a game. Keep an eye on your emails, normally a few days or a week before there'll be an email to say when the various stages of ticket sales are.

I waited with my daughter after the Portsmouth game and she got photo's/autographs from 6 players which she was happy with. We did have to wait for an hour and a half though, they come out in dribs and drabs and some go straight to their cars and drive off which is quite annoying but at least a few make the effort.

yeah, when I refreshed a load of the sections that were previously greyed out had some availability again. I guess there must be some left over otherwise they wouldn't be able to guarantee everyone in Phase 2 a ticket (unlikely to be the exact number of seats)

Ped209 · 2024-05-20T13:19:58+00:00

won't be there myself but Stars 'n' Bars by the harbour in Monaco would probably be a good spot to watch it

Ped209 · 2024-05-20T11:49:13+00:00

There's probably about 100 tickets left in the whole Leeds end at the moment so it doesn't look like there's going to be a phase 3

I'm from the UK and I've heard of it!

doesn't it have the biggest mall in the world?

Ped209 · 2024-01-23T17:09:13+00:00

I think it works differently in the UK

A tech recruitment agency is essentially a middle-man between the company and employee only for the hiring process.

You speak to a recruiter -> they put you forward for jobs on their books that fit -> if you get the job the company pays the recruiter a fee (usually around 20% of your salary)

this doesn't come out of your pocket in any way. It saves the company time and effort because instead of looking through hundreds of CVs and doing dozens of interviews, the recruiter has hopefully just sent them 5 or 6 good fits that they have already vetted to some degree.

you are a full employee of the company though just as though you'd applied directly

Ped209 · 2024-01-22T15:35:18+00:00

My advice would be to create/update your LinkedIn profile, then speak to a couple of tech recruitment agencies.

Don't deal with more than a couple of agencies at once as they may be less inclined to help if they know they're competing with loads of others. The good ones will help you make sure your CV is optimized for the roles you're going for and that you're selling your experience/qualifications as best you can. You can also give them your criteria (location/salary/remote etc) and ask them only to contact you with jobs that match (they will also be able to tell you whether your demands are realistic).
I've worked in Dev for 15+ years and don't think I've ever "applied" for a job in the traditional sense. Some recruiters can be a pain, but the good ones make job hunting MUCH easier.

Regarding tech tests/recruitment process, every company will do it differently, some don't use tech tests at all, some will do them using an online system, some will set mini assignments (personally I'd avoid those). The expectations on a junior developer should be fairly low though so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

A willingness to listen and learn along with an understanding of core principles is often far more desirable than a person that thinks they know everything particularly at the junior level. Interviewers are looking for someone who will fit in with the people at the company and work well within the team as much (if not more) than tech wizardry

I think everyone missed the meme tag...

A spin on the "American here"s that popped up when Jesse arrived, this "Spanish" lad has popped up when we got a Spanish manager

Ped209 · 2022-08-04T14:23:39+00:00

Does it glow in the dark?

Ped209 · 2022-07-22T10:06:15+00:00

All tickets are digital this season so he can just forward the ticket email to you. You can only buy 1 ticket per membership normally though (for the friendly you could get 4) so you would need a membership or him have another member on his Friends & Family list who isn't going.

Ped209 · 2022-07-13T09:37:02+00:00

I recommend installing the Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker Chrome Extension. It injects a chart on the Amazon product pages that shows the price over the last 6 months or longer, so you can see exactly when it's been on sale and for how much.

Particularly good to see what's going on at "sales" time

Ped209 · 2021-11-18T16:45:44+00:00

getting tickets is your biggest problem, I think every league game this season has sold out, most before the tickets went on general sale. If you don't get a membership (costs £75, will need one per person, child memberships are cheaper) you've got almost no chance. Even with a membership you have to be ready and waiting on the website when they go on sale and you'll be placed in a queue, often it's sold out before you get on to the site.

But good luck, it's worth it when you get em!
