Things I've done today

General
I got the "new" computer installed in the workshop today. Since it's running XP it means I can livestream AND skype at the same time. I'm thinking this could make streaming a bit more interesting. :3
I've got to get all the media across via USB drive tho, because the network between the old 2000 machine and XP never works right, and the hard drive itself.. well weird things happened there. Suffice to say it didn't work.
Some castings from last week didn't come out too well, but I should be doing replacements tomorrow, so watch for a stream link.
Some test castings with brass-powder-filled steampunk accessories came out okay, but polishing each tiny thing with wire wool will take too long. I'm looking at converting an old key-cutting machine into a "rock tumbler" to polish them. There's special rocks you can use, etc..
Looks like I'll be pushing my overdraft to the limit already to make the order for my next batch of shirts. Upside is they should arrive just in time for RBW! *fingers crossed*
Now gone 3am here. Spent the past hour an a bit trying to download an album I'd purchased from a rather broken webshop. Sadly it was the most legit shop that actually carried it. "US only" releases I can understand for CDs, but when you're selling mp3s of all the other tracks to the whole world, why not that one extra good one??
Bah, time for bed..
