Supersnel internet.....

De getallen van de internetproviders vliegen om je oren. De een heeft het over het Gigabit-netwerk wat ze kunnen aanbieden en daaroverheen komt er weer eentje met 2 Gigabit snelheid. Maar wat heb je nu aan dat supersnel internet? Continue reading Untitled

Ally just clutching at that switchbox like it's a fidget toy is killing me. If Brennan doesn't at least TRY when that thing becomes relevant to tell them that every time they pushed something it was giving advantage to the enemy, then what is even the point?

Here's another solo shoot, just me and my phone camera. This is around the same spot that I did my first Naked Snake photoshoot, although they have since destroyed that beautiful little alcove of trees I had used. Still the area provided the kind of scenery I needed, with bonus authentic mosquitoes. I was being eaten alive, it was worth it. It's nice to see how far my costume and my physique have come in about a year. That STABO harness was a nightmare from beginning to end. It's been my white whale for years, I finally found authentic parachute clips online, but they only shipped to the United States, so I needed my dad to order them and ship them to me. I thought sewing the straps would take an hour tops, instead it took nine hours. It's a complicated system to begin with, but then in the game, there's no adjustment straps, so I had to tailor to fit me exactly. Then on top of that I had to figure out a bunch of hidden tricks to make it conform better to my body.

The final piece missing from this costume is the radio switchbox, and maybe an M1911 replica gun.

Procrastinating going to bed again because I fear waking up sosososososo sore.

Made chili and rice... Might try to pick up some meds in the morning, or tomorrow, it's already past 2 am...

Keeping in mind I currently have everything in my apartment in a way that's legal and safe, I am trying to problem solve how to fit everything in a way that's nice to live with, so I know what I am looking at on my next pass of downsizing, mostly so I know what furniture I have no choice but to ditch.

I have created this handy graphic so you know what I am dealing with:

Currently my bunk bed is sticking out past a door frame enough that someone *might* decide they have a problem with it. It's not in the way or unsafe for me, and I am the only one who needs to be here, but if they decide to have an issue with it, it means my bed has to go somewhere in that upper white area right where every draft and sunbeam will get me while I sleep. Being as I have an actual sun allergy, I do not want my bed in front of a giant hot window that tries to make my apartment 50 degrees in summer and is freezing in winter.

... But you can see how they've kind of made it impossible to put furniture anywhere. And the building manager tried to tell me there needs to be 4 feet of clearance around furniture? as opposed to a hall's width? On top of this issue? Like sir, that is not in the code, and would make this apartment illegal to have anything AT ALL except a single bed in, if you could even fit that. The guy before me had a king sized bed and a dining table at least. It's a 210 sq foot apartment, I am pretty sure people put something other than beds in those.

But like, this is what I am looking at, having already culled well over half of what I owned to move in here and get it to this point. By the end of this I will have gotten rid of over 80% of anything I ever had, and I'll still be at risk of this guy trying to tell me that isn't enough.

I don't want to actually throw out any of the furniture I have that's real wood and older than me, for fairly obvious reasons.

I need at least an arm chair and clothing storage. My drink cart/globe is small and NEW and not something I am willing to part with.

The chest is solid wood and lined with cedar that my dad made me when I was a teen.

I don't want to toss a sewing desk with the built in machine. I could strip the machine out of the desk and toss or sell the old fold-out desk, but it isn't very big [it's kind of an antique, sort of].

I could consider a smaller bed, but I need some storage anyway, and getting rid of the bunk bed means LOSING that floor space anyway, because it's letting me layer my bed over other things. I could find some way to build a bed around other furniture and store the bunk bed as flat pieces if I had to, but there doesn't seem much point in that when I already have a wood bed that doesn't eat the floor space underneath or lets me turn the top bunk into storage.

The desks are lapped over each other in the corner with the switchbox/electrical panel and nothing much else could go there anyway.

The book cases are old particle board but they're currently storing a lot. [books]

I could probably build anything I need to, to make this work, but I need to figure out how to source the wood without a car.

I am considering getting some solid metal garage style storage cabinets and using those to store my tools, greenhouse/tent, tool box, and anything that would have gone in a tool chest or even the stuff in the book cases, all in place of the metal tool storage units I was considering. These would be really sturdy and not fall apart or get flimsy like the plastic drawers I threw out or the particle board shelves. They come with wheels. If I can make space for them I get to have 1 or 2, but only after making space.

I do need to store the empty totes all stacked up somewhere though because they are what I use to move and store everything when I move places. I'd rather be downsized enough that nothing needs to be in the full sized totes, but I am not really willing to give up having them on hand. Not until I have a house and stop having to move every couple years.

Yes, I am paying over 1000$ for this apartment. Because I don't have a choice if I want to live. There's 2 boob lights and a drop ceiling. There's a fluorescent light in the bathroom. Everything is the cheapest whitest renter's special you can imagine. The walls are faintly grey. Everything is plastic.

But now I have to make little paper cut outs of all my furniture to scale and try to design this space so that I know what my goal is.

I thought my bed was okay where it was, and that sleeping in the top bunk was fine for years to come, but now the rental agency is being weird about me, and my body hurts -like I am doing real damage- to move at all most of the time, and climbing in and out of a bunk bed is really hard.

So erry day I get to plug away at this.

No power steering, no power brakes, no disc brakes, no synchromesh gearbox, no seatbelts, no airbags, no crumple zones, a 40-foot / 12 metre turning circle...

The photos in this post aren't the same car as Crowley's 1933 3½ litre Bentley in "Good Omens", but they're Bentleys of the same vintage. All have the same basic layout, bought from the factory as a "rolling chassis"...

...then passed to a coachbuilder for whatever custom bodywork the new owner had ordered. These coachbuilders often rejoiced in wonderful names like Park Ward, Vanden Plas, Gurney Nutting, H.J. Mulliner or Thrupp & Maberley, sounding like escapees from a P. G. Wodehouse story.

Handbrake and gearstick are both on the right-hand side...

...so to avoid a poke in the knees it's often easier, depending on layout, to enter on the passenger side and slide across.

Once behind the wheel, you'll encounter all this gubbins attached to it.

The horn button is in the middle, but the other levers - depending on the chosen interior design layout - do stuff like operate the headlamps (full or dim), adjust the suspension (hard or soft), advance or retard the spark (more spark in cold weather, less in warm) and alter the fuel-air mixture (full rich when starting, lean when running).

*****

And then there's getting it started.

At least there's no need in these models to go round to the front with a hand-crank, though you could if you had to. That hand-crank option remained on cars right into the 1960s, as shown here at upper and lower ends of the market.

First, on a Rover P4 suitable for a bank manager or, as I suggested elsewhere, Adam's dad...

...and next on a Morris Minor, suitable for a bank clerk.

Crowley's Bentley (currently called Mary) has a hand-crank socket too - not that he would ever need to use such a thing - but in keeping with the car's superior status there's a neat chromed cap over it, and the actual engine connection is hidden behind the radiator slats.

(Mary's bodywork, incidentally, is by one of those splendidly named coachbuilders, Messers Thrupp & Maberley.)

Even without using a hand-crank, starting a 1930s Bentley (or any other car of the period) is still not a simple process. Turning that key between the toggles is just the first step since, IIRC, it only switches on the battery circuit.

Once the power is flowing, actual start-up routine can begin. I'll let Classic Car Club explain it:

Switch on the ignition by turning the right hand lever on the switchbox to I & C.

If starting from cold, set the mixture control, located around the horn button to Start.

Manually retard the ignition about one-quarter of its quadrant which is also located around the horn button.

Depress the starter and the engine comes to life.

Move the mixture control from Start to Run.

I prefer just turning a key.

Alternately you could just want the engine to be running as you get in - but to pull off that particular trick it helps to be a louche and lazy demon... ;->

Hey Neil,

Me and my best mate have a plan, we're going to move out and get a flat together, I'll help her with her auditions and learning lines, and she'll edit my writing. Part of our plan was that we'd save up for a motorbike, but after watching Good Omens she's decided she'd rather have a Bentley. I think we might be saving for a while....

According to people who have had to drive the Bentley, including Michael and David, you do not want to drive a vintage Bentley.

real talk the advent of centrally controlled switching really cut off one of the last good jobs for hermits: the guy who sits in the switchbox all day and waits for the train to come on some branch line that gets three passengers per decade
