Thanks Griff, it's been a blast. Maybe we'll get to swap sous vide recipes!

Hi Phil,
Congratulations on retiring (I think), and an early Happy Birthday greet !
I predict you'll "haunt" CP even more in the not-too-distant future.
cheers, Bill

Cheers Bill. Maybe, but I'm planning not to touch a keyboard for a while after today (OK, maybe next week!)

We have a(nother) T-Rex![^]
The 'small' T-rex 450 has had its maiden flight and performed so well that I could not tear it apart to put it into a scale body. And now I just could not resist the bargain offer to buy the larger T-Rex 550. It may be larger and heavier than the smaller one, but its 5kw motor still makes it faster.
Why don't we ever have adequate weather here?

Only one T-Rex for me, Mr. T-Rex[^]! Yes, he's based on Mr. T and a T-Rex, how awesome is that?

5kw 
Is that a typo, or is kw not supposed to be read as kW?
With 5kW you can fly that thing like an airplane, without wings.

You are right, it should be kW. Sorry.
Electric motors are very strong. The real problem is the 5000 mAh 22.2 V battery pack that's depleted (not completely, just down to about 20%) in five minutes of flight.

Isn't that what helicopters are all about? The rotor blades are its wings and it can't stall because there always is air flowing over and under them.

I meant that with 5kW you can use the rotor as the airplane propeller and just not give a bugger that it lacks wings. 
5kW is a Lot of power for a 3 kg aircraft.

Microsoft announced today the release of MS-DOS Mobile[^] as a free download for users of Windows-powered phones.
Will Rogers never met me.

Oh Wow!
I gotta get a Windows phone!

I can see it now - fighting with AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS settings to clear enough memory to run a new app or get the Bluetooth drivers to install. 
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.
|
|
|
|
|
Never mind Bluetooth, you'll be fighting EMM386 to get enough base RAM to answer an incoming call!
... And then you'll realise you did need the sound card driver to hear what they were saying...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|

Hmm.
What does it say about me that I love DOS and hate bluetooth?
Nothing bad, I'm sure.

Now we can run Deqview on em!

Wow, what a walk down memory line.
If you poke bytes to address 0xB800 will the characters appear on the screen?

Can you run Hack on it?

I wish I could do that now so I'll do some adjustments(Nothing just some targets like new year resolutions).
Most of the time, my targets missing again & again. Procrastination 
= Development - Started to learn Android on last year but not happy with my current progress. Going to check hybrid things. Recently I found PhoneGap Desktop app.
= Writing - All of my drafts(of articles & blog posts to be published) on my old laptop which is in problem. Apart from that there's couple of pitches for Novellas.
= Film - Planned to release two shorts(animated) on last year. Animation takes really longggggg time. No wonder why Pixar spends couple of years with very big team for a movie. I'm gonna make a comic first before the movie.
= Drawing - This is only thing I'm happy about its progress despite my drawings're just doodles. It's for above thing.
My mobile, laptop & notepad with full of to-do lists with goals(poorly progress). Of-course new year resolutions are jokes to me.
Last week I got a kindle book about "overcoming Procrastination" but still I didn't read a page. Ironic? Now I just added this as a top priority in my to-do list for this weekend. I think I'll do that surely.
Only my age is increasing  . Today is going to be an one more normal day I think. That's it.
BTW booked ticket for "Furious 7" for Saturday(Couldn't get for Friday night, already FULL .... it was really quick .... Paul walker, RIP).

Not sure who said, or exactly how it was said, but if I could do my life over I'd make more mistakes 
You don't need a time machine. Just start doing what you'd like to be doing. If you don't you'll be telling yourself "I wish I had started that x time ago" x time from now
I'm currently procrastinating as well... Should've done homework in the last few weeks. I did some, but not half as much as I'd like to.
In two weeks, on the exam, I'm going to wish I'd done more about it...
For some reason people have a natural resistance when it comes to doing things, even the things we want.
Even if you had a time machine you'd probably not do the things you wanted to do.
Unfortunately there's no cure or remedy for this behaviour other than getting yourself over it and just get to work.
So, stop posting in the lounge and get to friggin work (right back at me, I should practice what I preach )

Agree with you whatever you said there but I'm getting this thought on every new year & my birthday. That's it.

That means it's your birthday where I live, happy birthday!
