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