Only problem with the DJI Osmo Nano is it’s so small I keep losing it. I know, that’s really a me problem.

Well, that, and (like all action cams) the fact that it’s fixed-focus and wide angle, so is only useful for wide shots or large subjects. Its great that you can get the camera into tight spaces, but if that means the subject is close to the lens, this is the wrong camera for that. Just FYI.

45-yr old comic book search success 👍😀. There’s another box further down the eaves too, can’t reach or see any indication what’s in that one tho. But these two are intriguing. Don’t know what to do next, do I open these up? I dont have any plans for them if I do (apart from storing them away again).

I am going to have to open these now to see what the heck I was reading. I’m surprised. I was a comic book nerd and I forgot about it.

After one last concerted effort, I managed to retrieve all three boxes. That last box appears to be… 223 issues of “Mighty World of Marvel”, the UK black and white compilations of old 1960s era Marvel comics. Worth about £3.50? 🤪

@everyscififilm.bsky.social Was worried it had been dumped, but… I found it! 😀 Stashed away for the last 45 years:

Uh oh. I have a horrible sinking feeling that my entire comic book collection that I carefully packed away in my parents’ loft space in 1977 has been dumped without my knowledge… 50 years later, there seems to be a big space where I left it. 😳

Is there some kind of viral outbreak of patronising self-righteousness over there? Is this what comic book collectors are generally like? Because if they are, I’m selling everything (which isn’t much if I can’t find these boxes).

Cutting quite a large slot in a post with quite a small router. Managed it, but can’t entirely recommend.

I reported a leaking street water shut-off valve at the bottom of my mum’s garden to Thames Water well over a month ago. Still not fixed. Just been to investigate and worked out that in that time, it has leaked 1,500,000 litres of mains water into the ground.

Starting to realise I might have a problem. To be fair, this bay of SSL4000 isn’t actually mine, I just rescued it for a friend after his wife told him she wanted him to THROW IT IN A SKIP!

Aww. One day I’ll have a control room big enough for you. But for now I have less space than ever, so it’s back to storage 😕. Audient Zen. Amazing, short-lived product. Fader automation, but no EQ = limited audience, and I imagine it was too expensive to keep manufacturing it. But sounds so good.

Just wait until I have space to get this AND my Neotek up and running. That’ll be a picture. Just don’t hold your breath. 🤪

Here’s a hot take, if not a popular one: Ant-Man and the Wasp is a good movie; an action-comedy in the grand tradition of action-comedies. Light viewing with a charismatic lead, some family drama, solid action, a bit of peril, a romance, and packed with visual gags and one-liners. Totally works.
