      Bluehost hosting was $7 a month including 1 domain. Namecheap is $8 a month for a domain although you get 1 year free and 2 years for .co.uk

      I rarely dent about !yakshaving because it depresses me thinking about it even though I'm frequently at it.

      In an effort to read the TOC I'm going to launch an EC2 instance to determine if the problem is with my ISP or something locally related.

        £78 for a return ticket from London to Cleethorpes. I'm sure I did the same trip last year for less than half that amount.

          @davidmarsden I find that particular page of the train line useful. Easier than parsing it all manually.

          @kevingranade I think that's where he went wrong - 'trying to get a computer vision system talkiing'. Should have concentrated on 'seeing'.

          I hope the simple task of fixing this URL in !yakshaving doesn't end up in a bout of !yakshaving. The recursion would just do my head in.

                @b1ackcr0w hope you have more luck with re-stringing your guitar than I did mine. Took me two weeks of !yakshaving. Worth it in the end :-)

              Just finished sanding my saddle. Sounds nice even with old strings on it to test it out. Action a little high still, perhaps. !yakshaving

                Had to tie two rusty old G-strings together otherwise it would have been all guitar and #nopants.

                @jwildeboer I don't think OpenShot is in the F14 repos or does video capture but if I need to do non-trivial editing I will download it. Thx
