Life is a series of distractions: November 2013
http://leastworst.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Life is a series of distractions. Friday, November 8, 2013. Melbourne Bike Share review. This weekend I tried a one-day pass to Melbourne's bike share scheme. I did find the initial process a bit clumsy with 80 pages of terms and conditions to agree to. At least it's not an EULA with "I Agree" at the bottom of the document. The website states that you need to wait five minutes between rentals. However. Keep your trips under thirty minutes and take two minute breaks. Drain is about shoulder width.

Life is a series of distractions. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. One side of rear bicycle brakes touching rim. Check the cable and the sleeve. I didn't realise it had such a great effect on the brake pads. Links to this post. Sunday, February 3, 2013. Flickering - check individual LED modules. Doesn't turn on - check bridge rectifier.

Life is a series of distractions: September 2011
http://leastworst.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Life is a series of distractions. Friday, September 23, 2011. My Nexus Holiday - 2. This consisted of a few obligatory Beijing sights - Tiananmen, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and an acrobatic performance in the evening. There's daily 'fines' of USD99 for non attendance as his paymasters require a headcount through the stores. Also if you 'borrow' an entry ticket to one of the sights for whatever reason, he requires you to return it. Silk quilts were interesting…. Last for the day was Wangfujing....

Life is a series of distractions: Caves cycletour 2015
http://leastworst.blogspot.com/2015/05/caves-cycletour-2015.html
Life is a series of distractions. Sunday, May 3, 2015. Day one: Canberra to Crookwell. The morning was pretty cruisy with some light showers and the odd patch of gravel. James mentioned that we were "gunning for Gunning. I later found out that a colleague was on the road at the same time and with the Strava Flybys feature, one can even work out when we passed. We rolled into Gunning and had lunch at a very casual 2PM. Day two: Crookwell to Wombeyan Caves. Day three: Wombeyan Caves. Upon reaching Oberon I...

Life is a series of distractions: Teclast x89 - all the things my netbook couldn't
http://leastworst.blogspot.com/2015/06/teclast-x89-all-things-my-netbook.html
Life is a series of distractions. Thursday, June 4, 2015. Teclast x89 - all the things my netbook couldn't. I bought a Teclast x89 tablet. I suppose the important specs are the screen - 2048x1536 in 7.9" - and the CPU - an Intel x86. I'm hoping to use it in all the ways my netbook wasn't good enough for. Mainly that it didn't have enough grunt or was still too big to carry around. Anyway, to make it really useful, I decided to get rid of the Android OS and let Windows use up the full space on the eMMC.

Life is a series of distractions: Quick Aldi Solar Shed light modification
http://leastworst.blogspot.com/2013/08/quick-aldi-solar-shed-light-modification.html
Life is a series of distractions. Sunday, August 18, 2013. Quick Aldi Solar Shed light modification. Here's a quick modification to turn the Aldi Solar Shed light into a dark-triggered lamp. Three components are used: a resistor, a light-dependent resistor and an N-channel MOSFET. A variable resistor was used for tuning. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Life is a series of distractions: Boboyan Hillclimb to 1400m
http://leastworst.blogspot.com/2013/09/boboyan-hillclimb-to-1400m_22.html
Life is a series of distractions. Sunday, September 22, 2013. Boboyan Hillclimb to 1400m. This ride was a scouting ride for a future cycle tour towards Melbourne. It was a solid challenge and the midday heat was felt while struggling up. I think I didn't bring enough food and was hungry-sleepy traversing Fitz's hill towards Canberra on the way back. That situation was resolved with an ice-cream in Tharwa. A pannier bag was sucked into the wheel. End of the sealed Boboyan road. Boboyan Hillclimb to 1400m.

Life is a series of distractions. Wednesday, November 14, 2012. Dot points because I can't be bothered forming paragraphs:. Took an overnight Greyhound coach. The bus driver stalled at a major intersection. Got to wake up next to a lovely young lady in the morning though. Well, several times in fact and to the smell of fried chicken at the 4AM meal break stop. 11 a day for two zones' travel seems a bit steep. Contrastingly cheap weekend fares and good 10 minute frequency in the middle of the day. Lots of...

Life is a series of distractions: Joke bike
http://leastworst.blogspot.com/2015/01/joke-bike.html
Life is a series of distractions. Thursday, January 8, 2015. About a year ago I bought a folding bike on Ebay. It was the cheapest one with an aluminium frame and came to around $240 shipped. I found that the ones below this price were generally steel and were closer to 18kg; this one is a more reasonable 13.5kg. TL;DR: I did have grand ideas about this bike but it turned out to be too rickety. When unfolded, the frame still looks like this though:. Bah, who needs a straight frame anyway? The drop handle...
