[00:12] <daftykins> hmm think i should have kept the foil wrap and touched it to the casing, that might solve the noise
[00:44] <penguin42> careful, there tend to be multiple ideas of earth, that you should keep separate ish
[00:45] <penguin42> so you might have an analog earth that the audio is referenced against that might be very separate from mains earth
[00:46] <daftykins> yeah 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 continuity
[00:47] <daftykins> weirdly the thing has -18v, +18v and +8v going to it
[00:50] <penguin42> I think +/- is pretty common for amps
[01:02] <daftykins> best part of the kit connector, popping it back open to make a change :D
[01:09] <penguin42> hmm upgraded desktop to f37 and it's correctly pointing out one of my machines has a short ssh key
[01:10] <daftykins> is that release beta atm?
[01:10] <penguin42> nod
[01:15] <penguin42> right, with that done, I think time for bed
[01:15] <daftykins> ttfn :)
[17:19] <davef> That was fun. I have just completed Return to Monkey Island. 
[17:20] <davef> It's Monkey Island like the early days
[17:20] <zxmpi> that was quick
[17:24] <davef> I've not had much to do this weekend. About 8hrs total.
[17:24] <davef> My only complaint is that some of the puzzles were way too easy.
[17:56] <daftykins> i wonder if they're trying to make it more accessible, since such games were (probably) notorious for difficulty back in the day?
[20:11] <davef> daftykins: 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] <davef> Back in MI1 and 2, I could spend upwards of 30 mins just figuring out one puzzle 
[20:12] <davef> But 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] <daftykins> yeah you might already be in the mindset of the puzzle writer
[20:18] <daftykins> assuming they kept the same person for the modern one
[20:22] <davef> R2MI was Ron Gilbert, same dude who created the first two games :) 
[20:22] <daftykins> ah so he does a huge portion, writing, puzzles, more, etc?
[20:23] <davef> He was director, as well as a designer and writer
