I cleared it down to 10 in my inbox earlier in week, its just burst again, deleting important old msgs.

Restoring my box from backup, so if I haven't replied to someone, apologies, I've probably missed it.

Bloody thing has gone wrong again  >:(

Only this time, it won't stay on more than a few mins before the picture goes.  And can't even report it faulty until Tuesday as Samsung service closed until then (and place I bought from won't deal in any way shape or form, claiming, wrongly, that the warranty is with Samsung).

Added to that, I know Samsung's local repairer in Banbury do not hold any M87 parts in stock, so that will be another 2 weeks  >:(.

PSU aside, this set only has 2 component parts, and the main board has already been changed, so I guess they will try the panel itself next.


Last 3 TVs I've had have all caused me nothing but grief - the Sony, well, enough said. Piece of shit Sony junk. The Dell, and excellent little set let down by poor DTV software causing the DTV tuner to not always initialise. The Samsung, brilliant set, but failed twice now in 5 months.

General Discussion Area / Mac users better start patching
« on: 25 March 2008, 12:03:13 »
Never seen so many vulnerabilities for a single OS in one week before.  I know many Mac users consider themselves immune from virus/malware/vulnerabilities, hence this post (I know from the web logs we have a few OSX with Safari members)

General Discussion Area / Tractor in the Lakes
« on: 24 March 2008, 20:13:51 »
The longest trip I have done in the tractor to date was a few days up in the Lakes.

Below, tractor halfway up Hardknot, with Wrynose Pass right in the background.



Must say, apart from dipstick tube falling off, tractor did the 850 miles without incident and acheived over 39mpg, despite being booted everywhere (including several incidents of loss of rear end traction going up the passes ::))

General Discussion Area / Tech2 work by post (simple stuff only)
« on: 22 March 2008, 18:13:40 »
With a most of you living too far away to be able to visit Marks_DTM or I, I'm looking at doing some of the simple stuff by post by making up small rigs.  Some stuff won't be possible for technical reasons.

What sort of thing would members need programming via this method?

General Discussion Area / I'm not playing rugby....
« on: 09 March 2008, 12:13:38 »
Just had air ambulance arrive in the rugby field (for those that don't know, my house backs on to rugby field).

Now I know its a contact sport, but I thought it had to be very serious for air ambulance? Hope whoever it is makes a speedy recovery (due to proximity, a few of my neighbours are members there, and my nearest neighbour is vice captain).  :'(

I feel really naff today - thick head, tired, no energy.  Bit like having manflu but without the cold symptoms.

Its cold outside.
