daftykinshmm think i should have kept the foil wrap and touched it to the casing, that might solve the noise00:12
penguin42careful, there tend to be multiple ideas of earth, that you should keep separate ish00:44
penguin42so you might have an analog earth that the audio is referenced against that might be very separate from mains earth00:45
daftykinsyeah there were two wires for ground but i connected those fine, i put the multimeter on the connector 'can' and to the foil which wrapped around several of the wires in the centre and that had continuity00:46
daftykinsweirdly the thing has -18v, +18v and +8v going to it00:47
penguin42I think +/- is pretty common for amps00:50
daftykinsbest part of the kit connector, popping it back open to make a change :D01:02
penguin42hmm upgraded desktop to f37 and it's correctly pointing out one of my machines has a short ssh key01:09
daftykinsis that release beta atm?01:10
penguin42nod01:10
penguin42right, with that done, I think time for bed01:15
daftykinsttfn :)01:15
davefThat was fun. I have just completed Return to Monkey Island. 17:19
davefIt's Monkey Island like the early days17:20
zxmpithat was quick17:20
davefI've not had much to do this weekend. About 8hrs total.17:24
davefMy only complaint is that some of the puzzles were way too easy.17:24
daftykinsi wonder if they're trying to make it more accessible, since such games were (probably) notorious for difficulty back in the day?17:56
davefdaftykins: I think so. Some of the puzzles I got the answer right away, others I only had to think for a few mins.20:11
davefBack in MI1 and 2, I could spend upwards of 30 mins just figuring out one puzzle 20:11
davefBut then again, it could be because I'm a seasoned Monkey Island player, I kinda knew how these things work. I dunno. :) 20:12
daftykins:D 20:12
daftykinsyeah you might already be in the mindset of the puzzle writer20:12
daftykinsassuming they kept the same person for the modern one20:18
davefR2MI was Ron Gilbert, same dude who created the first two games :) 20:22
daftykinsah so he does a huge portion, writing, puzzles, more, etc?20:22
davefHe was director, as well as a designer and writer20:23
