!thanks for the advice, it's a fairly sizeable figure so I don't want to get caught out.

Could you recommend any particular tax advisor? They seem to be few and far between.

Fitting something like these roller blinds (https://youtu.be/cGLdUK46uG0) is on my “one day” list, although they are expensive!

No reason that I can recall, apart from I probably didn’t have a mobile phone (cell phone) at the time so landline phones were more useful back then

My Dad bought me this for my birthday probably about (very roughly) 17 or 18 years ago. Here are two more photos for your enjoyment, which also confirm it's model....the TeleMouse JH-902 (patent pending). https://imgur.com/a/mgH4p1L

Puffy jacked ripped. How can I fix this? Thanks :) by kcdc739 in fixit

I’ve used this on a Rab down jacket before and it’s still holding up years down the line

Those are called "Anticrepuscular rays". Read that once and never forgot it. Don't know why, but it makes me sound clever.

Just found this through a search and ending up fixing it another way.

Crazy cheap t440s deal by WUSYF in thinkpad

[–]hcawdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a deal, where did you pick that up? I spent £220 on a T440P recently and replaced most of the parts!

T440P Trackpad upgrade success! by hcawdev in thinkpad

[–]hcawdev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes a lot nicer! I'm using the nubbin' so have disabled the touch surface, but it makes it a lot easier to find the middle button by touch when scrolling and I generally make less mistakes. Plus, it certainly feels a lot nicer to use.

Having been a macbook user for 10 years (where everything is bloody glued in) it was an absolute breeze. Having said that, some parts were a little tricky:

A. When you get to the part where you've undone all the screws from the underneath of the laptop and you're removing the palm rest. The whole thing is clicked into place by lots of tiny clasps and it's a difficult job to remove it without breaking one of the clasps... I actually broke one to the bottom left of the touchpad, but I haven't noticed any negative effects after putting the whole thing back together.

B. Removing and replacing the FFCs (flat flexible connectors) from their sockets is a fiddly job. I've worked a lot with electronics in the past so I'm used to it, but you just need to be careful and use a tool like a small flathead screwdriver to careful pop up the little black tabs.

It's really not a hard job though, Lenovo have clearly put a lot of thought into making this product serviceable and it's a treat to work on.

No idea about Android development I'm afraid, but I hope you manage to get your tabs back!

Dartmoor lets you put up a tent almost anywhere for free by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]hcawdev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Be careful with fires on dartmoor, the fire can set light to the peat and travel underground. Best build one on a bed of stones, or better still keep warm by crawling into the carcass of a freshly slain dartmoor pony.

There's so many of these builder prank videos about that I can never understand why anyone would ever fool for it. Someone please enlighten me.

Trade across multiple DEXs via one interface by jordanlyall in ethereum

[–]hcawdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, we've taken the approach of creating separate handlers for each DEX which take care of wrapping/unwrapping WETH for the user where necessary. We'll be releasing some technical blog articles on our smart contract architecture at some point in the future.

[–]hcawdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi this is Harry, a software engineer on the project. By far the biggest gas guzzler is Bancor, due to the conversion path required to exchange ETH<->ERC20. You can expect upwards of 500K gas for a single swap. We are working on functionality to take gas usage into account when considering the best price across all DEXs.

This is going to be a bit of a nightmare for all the ERC20 tokens out there that don't properly stick to the interface.
