The small radio station I do my show from has certainly come on a lot since it was an abandoned toilet block just a few years ago. Several green fingered members have spent time making good the outside with flowers and paving (I painted the studio inside a deep purple!) The top pic was taken earlier this week, the one below was how it used to look. Check the blog of it's creation https://crmktowers.tumblr.com/
- How do radio stations calculate the number of listeners?shapesalad
- we have a thing on the studio computer that shows figures but I dunno what it's called but it seems to workGardener
- I'm not at all technically mindedGardener
- Nice. They repurposed our local toilet block into a Chinese restaurant. I think a radio station is more appetising.webazoot
- my show is tonight from 10pm via crmk.co.ukGardener
- Hello what's a toilet block???********
- ^ thisGnash
- a block of toilets - ie public loo's for ladies & gents, maybe it's an English term?!Gardener
- Towns would have these?Gnash
- There's a block of toilets down the road from here that were turned into a Chinese takeaway, although it's been shut for years now.Nairn
- Are you going back darn sarf to do your radio shows, or are you working from home up in Dundee?Nairn
- I'm in Dundee now but pop back once a month to MK, I can upload show via studio server, it's so handy!Gardener
- so in effect I am not live in the studio as it were but do chat online live to my dear listenerGardener

- "Normally when 3 men meet up in a toilet block eyebrows may rise but these guys have a plan!" That made me LOL! Nice work!!elahon

Went to Staples today and then wondered why anyone would work there?
If you're going to work retail, why do you work at CVS or Staples? There's so many stores.

I would love to be abducted by aliens and be forced to make hybrid babies with beautiful alien females so they can continue their studies and create new species on other planets to experiment on.

Hell yeah - it's nothing earth-shattering, but I've spent the afternoon figuring out how to get After Effects exported as json with the Lottie plugin, and then imported into WebFlow, and it's a piece of cake to trigger things based on scrolling and other actions.
This combo is exactly why I've lost interest in devoted prototyping tools for better web/code applications like WebFlow that allow all this stuff to work together. Why bother with some of that when it's possible to use WebFlow and actually output usable front end code?
I'm beyond excited that I got this to work.
- how bulky is the script output? And yeah... would be nice to stay inside one app that can bring everything together as you're describingPonyBoy
- Webflow is a cheat code yeahgrafician
- Wait, what? Definitely need more info on this! Hit me up! You know the email :)lvl_13
- sounds like an advertisement lol. Lottie generates svg animations and yeah its shitting out a lot of code.
https://www.youtube.…sted - Oh no.... I probably forgot how to use AE by now.********
- I've been tempted to try Webflow but heard mixed reports. Is it worth it? I'm sure it depends on the project thoughfadein11
- <^ yes, what type of project are you working on?Maaku
- Haven’t done any web dev for years (15+) but I’ve built a few sites now in webflow ....after you get used to interface it’s GTGStatic_Line
- @maaku, I generally build custom wordpress themes, so used to my workflow now not sure it's worth jumping unless a real advantage. I do tend to hand code thoughfadein11
- not use GUI's. If this is a real timesaver and I have full access to the code I may consider it for smaller projects.fadein11
- @fade the real advantage of these solutions: building dependency while getting dumber! lolsted
- lvl_13 - I'll shoot you a message.mg33
- Maaku - nothing in particular at the moment, but we're getting deeper into more immersive web content, andmg33
- trying to focus more on useful motion and visual storytelling. AE + WebFlow gives me the ability to prototype that kind of thing better thanmg33
- dedicated prototype tools really can, since they lack scrolling triggers. Ex: Adobe XD, Figma, InVision Studio. They are limited.mg33

just had a deadly monologue going on watching the dog follow a spider around the patio. turns out the dog knows everything i know about private property law and the spider refused to acknowledge the concept.

Just for fun. Let’s say this is a real post and not a scam. Is land actually this cheap here in California? What would be the catch here? Zoning laws wouldn’t allow to build? No utilities? No roads? Taxes?? Insurance? Indian burial grounds?? Seems crazy but awesome at the same time. Lol
Nevermind the gold stuff..

About 2 months ago my wife stocked us up on hand sanitizer... I just popped open a new bottle... IS THIS TEQUILA?? Cuz... MY GOD... the SMELL is... WOW...
- they had to ban hand sanitisers in certain hospitals here because addicts were drinking it and getting fucked up. Give it a blast.PhanLo
- A company I'd worked for who make Gin switched production to make their own sanitiser when Covid hit so you might be onto something.PhanLo
- ya brewers are making sanitisers now. still wouldn't recommend consuming it.pango

Just disabled IPv6 on my network connection and everything loads SO much fucking faster! (Win10)
Anybody else experience this?
Any reason why I SHOULDN'T do this?- Tech support told me to do that last year and much better since. Something to do with all equipment on network not being friendly with ipv6Gnash
- But I have no technical insight to offerGnash
- yeah most of the times it's your local router what isn't handling well ipv6. the reason why you see things speeding up is because if its enabled and fucked somested
- where on the network it will fall back to ipv4 for things like dns queries.sted
- yeah forever I would see "resolving host" waiting for stuff to load. NO MORE!sarahfailin
- disadvantage is with disabled ipv6 your isp can NAT your ip because of the limited number of IP addresses in the world (they put lots of clients behind 1 ip).sted

Every year there is a "veranillo" (short-summer) in the middle of the Uruguayan winter. Year after year it feels very strange to go from wearing a warm jacket to a short-sleeved shirt from one day to the next. Literally: 50 to 78 from Sunday to Tuesday.
I have never been able to resist the incredible URGE for beer that appears these days. Imagine: Sunday having a malbec by the fireplace; Tuesday putting brewskies in the freezer, drinking like, PLENTY, and posting this shit. BEEERP

Morning tea and scan of the papers. Open Guardian site, main headline "BEIRUT EXPLOSION: THOUSANDS LEFT HOMELESS BY BLAST THAT KILLED AT LEAST 100 and WOUNDED 4,000".
Then I have to click the 'Support the Guardian yadda yadda' pop-up in the footer to clear the page so I can see more and the only bit I read is "I AM OK WITH THAT", which instantly doesn't feel right.
- And then we have Donald Trump saying it seems like it was an attack - based on no real evidence. His great General's told him. Weird times.Ianbolton
- It was a good explosion nonetheless. A solid 10 on non nuke explosions.Doris_McSquirter

lol @ me - Just had a Scots guy in to drop off some pieces to be worked on. I didn't get into conversation about Scotland with him but he's clearly from the same neck of the woods as my family are and I could just feel the bare Scottish accent that lies dormant somewhere deep in my brain awaken and demand it has a go.

In the marke to buy a PC laptop for my oldest daughter. A pain... tons of options.
Summing up. Filtered to this 3:
- Asus Zenbook, Ryzen 7, 16 ram and 512 ssd
- Lenovo Ideapad 3, 8 ram and 512 ssd
- Huawei Matebook, 8 ram and 512 ssdI was going with the Asus, but no OS (neeed to buy a license, instal W10...), a better machine, but not getting the OS preinstalled...
Suggestions?
- lenovoimbecile
- Huawei limits you in what you can install because of political shit, if you want to save a bit of $ look into MSI, good speeds on those, I have 1 as a backupmoldero
- Does it need to be a brand new machine? My earnest suggestion would be to buy a second hand Lenovo Thinkpad. Otherwise, all <3 are nice machines.Nairn
- I got a 2nd hand Thinkpad 18 months or so ago and it's f'ing great. Don't think I'll ever buy a new laptop again.Nairn
- Oh, and on any computer, especialyl laptops - always get as much RAM as you can. Better than a slightly faster processor, imo.Nairn
- the win 10 pro licence i'm running was £2.15 on ebay if the cost is putting you off the asus...kingsteven
- Ooh, really? I saw something like that recently, someone buying a key for a machine they were going to destroy. is that shit 'legit'? I mean, it works?Nairn
- that and a £5 antivirus licence :D had to get a couple of drivers downloaded but well worth an hours graft to negate the bloatware on preinstalled OSkingsteven
- I need to flatten this machine that I'm on now - it's Win7 (trace me and hack me you cunts). I *think* I still have an upgrade path, but I need a Just In Case.Nairn
- you download windows from MS and just enter the key they give you so i think it's all legit after that point! i heard they're often unused OEM keys from...kingsteven
- machines sold to businesses that already have site licenceskingsteven
- are you able to share the link you used?
xNairn - I'm a Lenovo fanboy but that Anus is far better than an ip3. if you got the money, and the trust towards your kid that she won't break it in a month, buy that.sted
- Yes sted, the Asus is my first option... I think I will catch it and buy a key, problem is I'm getting a pair of weeks of vacations and tech detox this friday..OBBTKN
- And the last thing I want to do now is to be in front of another screen for hours configuring it, it should wait a pair of weeks thenOBBTKN
- Whose anus, sted?!Nairn
- 'no longer a registered user' on the one i got @ Nairn - it was last year though... i just went on the feedback...kingsteven
- ebay?Nairn
- don't buy on ebay, most of the times you get a generated key what can be revoked at any time, sometimes they even give you access to the tool, so you can fix itsted
- when ms kicks that key out.sted
- Nairn it will be ur anus is OBBTKN kid ges swatted because of a stolen windows 10 key :Dsted
- Just throw Linux on the Asus. The quicker she learns how to use a terminal and VIM, the better.section_014
- look up hp refurbished. can only order by phone but u get some nice deals. get win baked into it. refurbished also means clean install version********
- probably get liek a i5 256 16gb for 400-500 hundie, or go less ram and standard hd for less********
