You can also get the expanding foam post fix, but, I wouldnt trust it really, especially where I live on the side of a valley and when the storms blow in the right direction, whistling down the valley, nowt is safe!

Cannot beat a breaky uppy mode, saves the hand cramps and chipped knuckles knocking ten bells out of a chod of conc with a hammer and chisel.

I have a massive JCB drill with a concrete breaky uppy mode which has got me out of jail free a couple of times replacing rotted fence posts that has been concreted in.

Putting my 2 deckings in.... I've dug enough post holes to last me a life time... I feel sorry for the future poor sod who may want to shift'em... Like most things I do, I tend to go over the top, and as such, I've probably got shares in postcrete! :D

Consult a qualified electrician for compliance with BS 7671 and local building Regs! Avoid areas where future digging is likely. ;)

That depends on where the cable is to run. Minimum depth in a garden in 450mm. Under pavements 600mm.

Hi Folks,

Another low profile (ex-?)member of SyntaxBomb - glad someone's keeping the community going!

I don't know about Midimaster, but the question about hotdogs took me about 6 goes to find the "right" answer....

Anyway,  Sounds like I'm in good company - I also discovered computers long ago (1970's, I guess) - but started on a computer science degree about 5 years ago - currently (trying to) do a PhD in AI....

Long history of using BBC BASIC (I had a whole string of Acorn machines), but these days for work I mostly use Python.

D

Dabzy

Hey up DaiHard! :)

Lurkers very welcome! ;)

There has been one or two with the "hotdog" thing... If it trips up anymore I think I'll change it... Don't want a "sausage-gate" on me hands!  :P hehehe

hi :)

( thanks 'Dabz' for this forum. :-* )

about my programming journey :
i started to code for the web ( php, html, css, js ),

then i made some simple mods for the game 'morrowind' but i thought that it was too limiting.

then i searched 'how to make a video game' on the web, and i ended up using blitzbasic / blitz3d. (in 2009-2010)

then i experimented a little bit with unity but in the end i stuck with blitzbasic / blitz3d to make little games or little tools.

i am also interested to make little games for the web (playable in the browsers).

but my motivation is not as high as before, i admit it...

Dabzy

Hey up... Another one through the saloon doors, armed with nothing but a sausage... Sausage!

Dabz

P.S. Did I mention? Sausage!

Bet you someone's going to say chilli sauce.
If you've dug yourself into a hole. Just keep digging. You're bound to come out the other side eventually.

Bookies have that down as 1/3 on!!!  :P
