Re: Nothing In Particular

Of course its more of a issue with FTTP, but that's normally an optional extra service anyway. Not so. Openreach now stipulate that where FTTP is available customers are not given the option to retain a copper line when renewing contracts or changing suppliers except in very exceptional circumstanc...

Re: Streaming problem

LMS and PiCorePlayer are both running on the Pi, so there’s no PC involved. Might be possible to plumb in a spare Lenovo thin client, but I’m not sure it would be much of an improvement over the current setup. Thanks for looking though!

Re: The Audio-Talk Motorcycling thread.

Thanks! Nothing specific, although I’d alway wondered what the drive roller looked like. It’s just such a wonderful bit of lateral thinking. Could only have come from the land that produced the Citroen 2CV.

I wonder how long front tyres last for?

Re: The Audio-Talk Motorcycling thread.

Got any more pics of the Velosolex motor, Dave? I’ve been fascinated by them ever since I saw a nun riding one around Chartres Cathedral about 60 years ago.

‘Tis (nearly) the season and all that. The girls are making mince pies, I’m printing Christmas cards and this is still the best Christmas album ever.

Just been listening to this podcast as I follow Peter’s career with interest, and thought some here might also be interested in some of the stuff he has to say. It’s a bit long…

Re: Nothing In Particular

He still owns it, but he hasn’t been active on the forum for a couple of years, apparently due to ill health. The forum itself was still very active up to a couple of days ago, but I guess it’s possible he may have stopped paying the bills.

Anyone else having trouble getting on to the AoS forum? I’m getting a host server timeout error.
