Rides and Touring / Re: Twitey's camping break - May 9th through 13th, 2024

« Last post by andrewc on Yesterday at 12:39:22 pm »

I'm planning to load the bike on Tuesday & ride down.   Has anyone else booked a pitch yet ?   


I note that the intrepid Kim has been camping in the Lakes over the last few days where she has been horribly nibbled by midgies.  Don't forget the repellant.     Another site advises me that ticks are out in force this year as well.       Warmer & wetter.....

If you want to do an SQL injection attack, sounds like their systems are the ones to attack. That’s essentially what the council is advertising.

That also crossed my mind.

I suspect most here will already be thinking of Little Bobby Tables.

Very useful, fruitcake and Feanor, although I have enjoyed the pianistic diversion. Thank you.

Work starts tomorrow. <gulp>

I have electric UFH in the bathroom, under the tiles.
It does produce a nice warm-to-the feet thing.

But it's not a replacement for a radiator / towel rail for space heating. It doesn't generate enough heat for that.
Downstairs, we have wet UFH set into the concrete pad of an extension, and that *does* produce enough heat for space heating.

I live in a road that requires an apostrophe . . .  I've given up with my address online - and the street signs are without.

Must speak to Lynne Truss about this . . . .

GPS / Re: Etrex 32x slow map display?

« Last post by Ian H on Yesterday at 11:44:39 am »

I have found that my preferred purple track becomes more or less visible against brown roads depending on whether I view the screen through the top or bottom of my varifocals. Looking through the bottom (close focus) and the purple fades out. Looking through the top (distance but my handlebars now out of focus) and the purple is quite distinct. It is a progressive shift, not a step change. I think I might be able solve that particular problem with a different colour scheme.

I created a typ file to fade the map colours so the track stands out better.  It's fiddly but seems to stick for subsequent updates.  https://www.openfietsmap.nl/tips-tricks/customize
I wonder if moving the maps to an SD card might free up memory and improve speed.
