The TPU UK Clubhouse

[phill]

I run an IT department for a Company in a non IT field (so run internal IT), Big company, 8 sites across the UK and my Dept is responsible for EVERYTHING including stupid phones and boring crap)

I know, I am hoping they don't notice when they go missing. I'd be happy with one of them but all four, Sell of the RAM, Crunching machines. ;-)

Depending on how things go at work I might be looking for another job Aiming to hopefully get into server support/desktop support, that would be rather nice

Nice good luck buddy,

I'm now enjoying the sunshine, My solar array is generating shit tons of electric today.

I'm wondering what sort of direction I can go with my career, as I'm just starting out in it, I'm just curious whereabouts I might end up after all this has been sorted at work

Mine's not doing to bad, not as good as yesterday/earlier this week..Coming up to 13kW today and currently 2500w ish currently making It's been a little overcast this morning, so it's not produced quite as much as it has been but still, early days yet

 

[Hellfire]

Nice, This is mine right now, doing well. Currently on 20 KW produced today.

Re your career, I know what you mean, it's hard to tell where it's going to go at times. I had the same. any advice or questions, I'll happily answer.

 

[phill]

Ah the working Geo 3 lol I'll have to drop you a PM and ask a question

Producing nicely there, I think you need to up your usage

Well I'd love to get into server deployments etc, something a little more hands on with the hardware I like that side of things more than just sat at a desk. But that said, I suppose it might depend on what I get into doing the deployments

23'c but its so damn humid that even if im sitting in my apartment with all the windows open and a slight breeze rolling through, Im sweating buckets. Even walking outside 10mins into a walk and my shirts already almost soaked.

Today is a little cooler and not as humid though, my Dad and Sister decided to go for a hike but i opted out so i could relax and do a little house keeping.

I cant go anywhere without a sweat cloth.

Just walk around without shirt on and in your boxers.

Wonder if that would work outside.....?

If it works in a beach environment then I don't see why it can't work in city, there aren't any laws is there that prevent you from doing such thing except being in a different surrounding lol

 

[phill]

I'm not so sure you'll need just your pants on today.. It's a little bit wet out here So not much solar and not much crunching either

Shorts and tank top season now even if it's a bit moist now in the UK.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Gonna be 29'c here next week

 

[phill]

It'll certainly be a bit cooler for the next week or so down here, rain every day!! No sun and no crunching

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Wataaaaaaah! Everywhere but not a drop to drink

Jackie Chan should get a monument somepoint aswell..

Jackie Chan should get a monument somepoint aswell..

That will take a good few more years (decades hopefully)

He already has his hand prints along that boulevard walkway by the sea.

I think it used to be called Hollywood boulevard or something.

The whole places has sort of been rebuilt

 

[kurosagi01]

I may potentially go China next year with my family for the first time in my life..nothing set yet but I should go for once in lifetime experience.

Well another expensive month...
Clutch&flywheel coming tomorrow
I have already got my gearbox oil and brake fluid to do the clutch fluid change and brake fluid in general
I have spark plugs coming in for the next 10k
Oil and oil filter ready aswell
I am attending Modified National next saturday aswell...got road tax coming up which has increased this year woo.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Never been to China myself. But HK is not so different. Ive been hanging out with a cousin whose apparently part of a club that mods and tunes Honda Jazz's.

Though its weird because hes like a direct cousin to me but hes from my dad's, dads brothers son from a second marriage... to put it bluntly my dad said "Its complicated" - so he doesnt know but we are roughly the same age so we should be in contact more so to speak.

Another issue is that my dads side of the family are really scattered all over the world with some of them in Holland, Canada, and possibly USA. So there a high Probability that we might never see each other in person for our entire lives and the only time some of them gather is when its time to Bai San.

Dad's side of the family are a bit like seeds that are sown in a heavy wind.

 

[kurosagi01]

Modified jazz seems to be thing in Asia as I have seen people done engine swap for a Honda Civic type R engine etc.
Most of my dad side are in the UK now, my Mum side is scattered around the world at the moment which i've only met one of my cousin from my mum side years ago as she came up from Germany for a week.
I've still not met the rest which some live in America and rest in Vietnam, I do have plans to go see my relatives from America and my other grandma from my mum side back in Vietnam just not found the opportunity or funds to justify it yet.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

My mums side are easy to track. A lot of them are still in HK while others have spread to ireland - thats about it.

Apart from Honda Jazz's, im seeing a lot of modded Toyota Vellfire and Alphard mini vans/wagons. Apparently one of my uncles who lives in same building has one (But we've been here two weeks and they havent come and said hello so.... ) Ahhhhhh family. mums side is most notorious for having drama with each other. Everyone got beef with one another but mum's sisters get on well with my dad and dad doesnt like to get involved with my mums arguments and shitty desputes with family.

Its hard being the newer generation. Back when late 60s or 70s when they were born they had a load of siblings. Both my parents came from big families but all i got is one sister and we dont get on with each other.

I see what you did there...
Don't want a car anymore, why hasn't noone made flying hoverboards yet or self lacing shoes.

 

[dorsetknob]

81f here indoors all windows open for a through draft but there's *od all breeze.
Supposed to be hotter tomorrowbeer time

 

[Deleted member 24505]

My desk is upstairs in front of a window, there is a lovely breeze keeping me and my pc nice and chilled

 

[phill]

It was getting a little warm in the PC room yesterday with 7 PCs on.. Got myself a fan today so here's hoping I can get that together and can see if that helps with the air flow in the room I can't remember if it was air or water temps getting up to 38C either way, too damn hot

I think I'm definitely more suited to somewhere like Iceland lol
