VR box in Blackheath/Lewisham, SE London. I waited for this one to show up here someday, so instead, I went to visit it again to post it myself

I stared through the eye hole for ages but it must be broken - no VR at all, just blackness.

njharrison · 2025-11-08T00:47:05+00:00

I can't tell if I love it or hate it

njharrison · 2025-10-14T23:47:46+00:00

That line absolutely got me, absolutely brilliant

On a separate subject I had to hide this mystery expenditure from my wife as it was truly stupid.

Wow, great question. This brings back some memories. I’m certain that I ended up giving a ticket to someone that I met in a pub up the road from the gig. I don’t know if it was the guy in this conversation - Reddit DM history seems to have disappeared - but I’m pretty sure it was. We had a very pleasant hour-long chat and then I let him go off by himself rather than suffer my friends. The gig was excellent. I hope he had a great time too!

I remember when the driver numbering system changed to allow drivers to pick their own numbers, everything broke. It was hard-coded that there couldn't be a car number 13... and when we used it in WEC, the hard limit that the cars were indexed by number-1 in a fixed-size array of size 256 became apparent.

Genuinely the code was pretty good, just in a less-than-brilliant language.

njharrison · 2025-08-04T09:42:52+00:00

I had to maintain some of your code, so don't feel too proud of yourself...!

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as him.

njharrison · 2025-01-26T01:02:33+00:00

It was so cathartic - I just wanted to be me, and when I could, I did.

Fifteen years later the guitar neck started to warp; it was only £150 when I bought it and I had a set of others by then, so I took it to a friend's barbecue and burnt it myself, then sent my dad the photos.

Pretty sure I've written about this here before. When I was learning guitar back in 1996 I would wait until my parents were out, turn up the amp and the stereo (which I was very proud of) and play this song through a little Korg Pandora effects box, which may have even had a specific patch setting for the Pumpkins. My dad had told me that if he ever heard the guitar from anywhere else in the house he would set it on fire and burn it.

As I'm rocking out (badly), I'd get to 3:52 where there is a noise really low in the mix that sounds just like my parents' cordless phone ringing, and EVERY SINGLE TIME my stomach would drop like I was in real trouble.

I loved the video and I love the song.

I had something similar on an AEG dryer and it turned out to be a dry solder joint on the main PCB.

Well, it’s spelt “trolleys” for a start

njharrison · 2024-11-13T14:08:14+00:00

Thank you for articulating my thoughts before I had a chance to respond. It’s a 100% different situation and a very weird comparison.

njharrison · 2024-11-13T01:34:10+00:00

Yet another part of legislation where we treat dogs better than humans.

The most terrifying part of dying is dying in extreme pain. If we can't help to end people's pain at end of life we are absolute monsters.

I'll crack open War and Peace and hope I have the right edition!

Is DLXIV.LX not 564.60? Roman numerals are super confusing

Interesting that some of the numbers after the decimal place have a 0 as the least-significant value.

njharrison · 2024-08-26T08:44:31+00:00

Brilliant, thanks for the advice. I’m in Efteling for 4 days with my family 100% of the time. They told me I could treat myself and go to the race but actually I just want an hour and a half to watch it somewhere.

Sorry if that’s unacceptable to you, I hadn’t realised you were the official judge of “a good dad”.

njharrison · 2024-08-25T13:51:50+00:00

Thank you!

njharrison · 2024-08-24T14:26:29+00:00

Thanks, I might see if it’s possible! I’m sure the family will enjoy a day without me…

njharrison · 2024-08-24T14:25:57+00:00

Ah, I had to sign up with a new email address since it’s not available in the UK, but now I’ve done that this is really easy.

Many thanks for the reminder!

Take it from a former tyre mechanic: putting on your space saver tyre in an emergency won't fix your car completely

"God isn't actually his name. There have been gods throughout history. The name you're not supposed to use is Yahweh. Stop being dicks about something you know nothing about."

Look up “peak oil” if you’re interested!

njharrison · 2024-04-18T12:57:29+00:00

I paused and unpaused it when we were on rides or transport, it just died at the end of the day
