Ooh Quick Question how is the Droid (well Rover Robot) coming so far I can only find parts 1 & 2 is a third on the way?

Still got it but haven't done anything with it for a while, stuff keeps popping up. Not sure when I'll be able to get back on it as I've got a butt load of things lined up that have to be done.

I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Well I have had the same thing with my Robot, Parents moved so all my stuff (that I had left in their house/garage moved as well) still have to find the box it is hiding in... I seem to recall it had an Ardunio attached I was debugging the drive code, PWM still more mystery and luck on my part (I say luck as I passed that bit of my EE degree!)

Your new handle is accidentally brilliantly ironic -- will it keep contracting until it fits the username field?
Nice one. A keeper.

Thanks, I think?...

Good luck. I use the internet so much during the day (for program information) that I could not function without it. No memory.

I haven't seen anything since his post New Years Eve[^] which was at least good news.
If not, then I wish you well @Walt-Fair-Jr - hope you are recovering as quickly as possible.

Yeah, I was a little worried about him, what with my troubles that have come good, I hope he is getting better. Off topic I am staying away from the Lemmings thing below, until Friday at least!

Hopefully, he's too busy buzzing the neighbourhood kids with his drone, to bother with boring old frts like us.
I know I would be (which is why the missus won't let me have one ).

It looks like he posted just a few days ago, [Link removed - opps!]. Sounds like things are slowly getting better.

Either way, somehow I missed the whole thread the first time round... poor Walt!!

Android Time Waster OTD: Lemmings crossed with Minecraft[^]
A lot like lemmings (without the "nuke" or "fast forward" buttons) but you don't give them abilities, you manipulate the environment around them.
Not got that far yet, so it's still reasonably easy, but it's definitely got that "just one more level" addictivity. Only down side is it requires a net connection to run, so it doesn't work in the car while waiting for Herself unless I park really, really close to Tesco...

To keep it short, I downloaded the VS 2013 Community ISO with the intention of burning to a DVD for my dad, who I'm driving to see in a couple of days, and who recently expressed a desire to try some hobby programming. I should have checked the size of the thing first, but it was on my laptop, and it was not on my bandwidth, and besides, I've done this before, and never had an issue. 5 hours later, the download finished and I now had a behemoth 6.9GB file sitting on my desktop! Really? WTE have they packaged into this thing? (I did a search, but my google foo has failed) Well, that'll never fit on a DVD...time to get out the 16 GB (practically empty) flash drive...and fail! 'the file is too large for the destination file system' This maybe an excuse to get a bigger flash drive, but still, does anyone else consider 6.88GB to be bloated?

Hm, hm...
On the download page it is clearly stated that you are going to download a DVD9-sized image...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

You are a wise man Kornfeld! Of course I failed to read the instructions! Now, where did I put those DVD9s?

You can split them with Zip to 1GB (for example) files with Store method (should be copy basically - quick). Copy them, the FAT-32 limit for one file should not be exceeded this way. And then extract them on target computer with Zip again (it should automatically detect spanned archives).
Source: I was a gamer in 90's. Exchange 16GB flash drive with 1.44MB diskette and you have it.

Which probably means the flash drive is formatted FAT32 - so the maximum file size is 4GB.
Reformat it to NTFS and the problem should go away.
