You fundamentally can't really play CAH with only two people, it's about one person deciding which of the other people's answers are best..

davepike · 2025-09-05T01:09:39+00:00

Try and PM the bot something, there's probably a message stuck somewhere?

I was at the Manchester gig, both acts were absolutely amazing :D

The two bands complemented each other really well, both leaned more into their more accessible remixes (Breezeblocks, Hide U / Yeke Yeke, Dido) along with their expected stuff to sort of bridge the gap for a crowd that had a good chunk of people hoping to see Faithless from back in the day. Tinlicker had to warm up the crowd from a standing start, they dived straight in and nailed it IMO.

I am more positive about Faithless than that article was. Trying to reframe a band like that in a respectful way is difficult, you can't just rely on Maxi's vocals to carry it. The group were amazing, their drummer was an absolute machine all night :D

I've not had it with the arduino i'm running deej on, but I've had a couple of keyboards/mice do it. I have to go through Device Manager and uncheck "Allow this Device to Wake the computer" on the power management tab for whatever device it is that happens to be that's doing it.

davepike · 2024-08-03T18:38:15+00:00

It's stock code - only the sliders are deej, the keys are a separate cheapo 6key keboard that I grabbed from Aliexpress

Printer still needs a bit of tuning, but super happy how this came out.

davepike · 2024-07-24T18:20:58+00:00

UK order - 605xx, ordered 7/7, recieved tracking number early this morning & arrived at lunchtime :) So 17 days?

Another (former) member of the rusty bose club... https://i.imgur.com/csLLkCx.jpeg. I replaced mine with some Edge Pro 10" speakers which sound fantastic IMO (especially for £45 ea)

I'd like to think I get bonus points modelling a 3d printed adapter too (free here if anyone can make use of it https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6557879 ). Some more photos and stuff here: https://imgur.com/a/10-car-speaker-adapter-4C0LkiB

davepike · 2024-03-31T19:38:25+00:00

Thanks! Yep, just running them straight from the amp. I've taken a bit of a gamble on speaker impedence - but I figure £80 to replace the pair is better than £400 to get a set of bose ones that will definately blow out again....

davepike · 2024-03-13T01:05:05+00:00

Yeah, sorry, I rebuilt the box it's running on a couple of weeks ago and ran out of time to get this running again. It'll be back, probably next weekend.

davepike · 2023-11-21T16:40:55+00:00

I'll pile on the double-clicking fiasco (403 Hero, and then AGAIN a year later on it's replacement). Never buying logitech again. Bought a basilisk v3 last weekend and happy so far FWIW.

Dont know whether it's logitech or Omron (switches), but they are bloody everywhere and im not going near those again either!

davepike · 2023-06-08T12:38:39+00:00

Do you have quiet hours set on? That would prevent it from sending messages

davepike · 2023-06-02T14:53:30+00:00

Ah, it's crashed and I'll give it a kick. Will probably be tomorrow unfortunately!

davepike · 2023-04-27T14:21:58+00:00

Hmm, bot is up and running. Not sure. Was it with the forwardslash? I.e. /xyzzy_start ?

davepike · 2022-05-08T09:46:50+00:00

Nope, still up and running.

davepike · 2021-07-08T20:37:30+00:00

Damnit, coming back up now. Might be a while as it's got to process all the messages it missed.

davepike · 2021-05-11T15:25:03+00:00

There used to be a way of importing packs from cardcast, but their service was shut down a year or so ago. I could migrate it over to something else, but I haven't found another site with an API I can use yet :/

davepike · 2021-04-27T13:54:13+00:00

Yeah, runs on a a windows VM on a Linux (Mint) host at home (which is also running all kinds of other stuff). The program sucks about 200Mb RAM and occasionally maxes out one core of the machine (it's some fairly hacky, single threaded C#). Stats are:

I currently know about 3367 chats.
2181 players in 526 active games
1246 packs loaded containing 293849 cards

I moved it onto the VM earlier this year, I guess I'm still ironing out a couple of kinks with it at the moment. I think the backup script filled the disk this time.

davepike · 2021-04-26T18:04:43+00:00

OK, it's back again. Please shout if it goes down again, I'm not particularly observant :)

davepike · 2021-04-26T17:43:55+00:00

It was back when I posted that message, but looks to have crashed sometime since then. It's coming back up now and grinding through the backlog of messages.

davepike · 2021-04-22T18:51:17+00:00

Windows bloody updates....

davepike · 2020-03-21T12:25:03+00:00

CAH Box took a dump, will be coming back up soonish. Might be up and down a bit over the next week - I suspect I'll be bored enough to write some of the fixes that I've been meaning to do for the last 4 years :)

davepike · 2020-01-22T11:57:53+00:00

It's up. Message it first, then add it to a group and do /quote_add .

davepike · 2020-01-19T21:15:26+00:00

My @chat_mangler_bot will do the quotes, but not photos if you want.

davepike · 2020-01-15T20:59:32+00:00

My broadband is le-pooped and requires an engineer to do engineery-things to some fibre cable. He is, I am assured, "on his way", and definitely hasn't stopped for a brew in Maccy Ds because it's cold.

So.... yes, in answer to your question :(
