Anybody have questions about the Huawei P20 Pro ?

Anybody have questions about the Huawei P20 Pro ? Currently have one and listening to Chris Cornell sing about black holes over APTX on a pair of Plantronic BackBeat 2 Pro's. I miss the 3.5mm jack and the double tap to wake on the LG V20, but so far really liking the phone. #Huawei #P20Pro

Unlocking Hera Tani

Unlocking Hera Tani This is just so pointless. 4 trips for no good reason other than waste time. It's probably going to take me 4 days. I can't imagine that the same people who brought my favourite game back to life could come up with such a useless system as the various engineering unlocks and crafting system that you HAVE to do to progress meaningfully. I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...

Last one for the day. #thegrid #synthpop

Last one for the day. #thegrid #synthpop https://youtu.be/ShrZVNspfIw This one reminds me of my Rob Hubbard / Martin Galway music history which I still indulge. For years, my ringtone is taken from Commando C64 by Rob Hubbard. This instrumental (mostly) track has the repetitive pattern based sequences that 8 bit programmers resorted to do make 10 minute long soundtracks in 4k of memory. It connects me in a very specific way with my memories of that era and encountering computers for the first time. There is a sequence that starts at 2:38 and goes on for about half a minute that is just sublime for me. It's that thing I've always liked in music where you get to get really inside the track and hear it reinvent itself half way through. https://youtu.be/ShrZVNspfIw?t=132 (I've cued it up with 20 seconds earlier so you can hear the track change) It's best heard REALLY loud on a nice headset. When chatting to others I've noticed they don't really like the chip

Another one from my coding playlist... #neworder #technique

Another one from my coding playlist... #neworder #technique I like songs Electronic music in general, but have a weakness for synth tracks like: New Order's Fine Time https://youtu.be/MYwNLlTt3AQ This was one of the first New Order albums I bought. I had bootlegged it, but have since bought it twice over the years. There are a bunch of really good tracks which I would imagine are not as popular to early New Order fans. It's not as moody as earlier albums, but I was very much in my synth pop phase growing up when I encountered it. https://youtu.be/MYwNLlTt3AQ

#neworder #electronic #synth

#neworder #electronic #synth Whenever I'm coding I like to have some background music. This is one of those I keep coming back to. I can literally put it in a playlist of 2 songs on repeat. The other one is off the same album, track #2, Reality. I can recommend the whole album as worth a buy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocaK0am7vA8

Knocked about .7 off my best lap around Monza by swapping from DS4 to XB1 Controller.

Knocked about .7 off my best lap around Monza by swapping from DS4 to XB1 Controller. It's not the hardware that helped, but rather the far improved support by the PCars2 game of the XB1 Controller vs PS4. Still a ways to go to get to Dennis Wronka, but I halved the gap to him. Wouldn't mind being closer, though...

Just landed at Greg's Legacy at LTT 4961. I hear Philomena Cunk is handling approach and traffic control. Neat.

For those of you who like the extra detail around their setups.

Last one for today.

Last one for today. If you haven't used a Taming pen, this is for you. Useful for the more dangerous creatures. Tempt them into the cage and have somebody shut the doors. Fire through the windows. For an improvement, leave the taming narcs in a nearby cupboard. Incidentally, we are leaving this base to create a new one in the desert for a challenge. https://youtu.be/DZYLFF_8WgY https://youtu.be/DZYLFF_8WgY

Some shots of my taming pen and the current base. Note the Rex is too big for the taming pen.
