  • "Pulsifer" is also running Xubuntu/xfce. It has a recent solid-state disc, wifi, ethernet socket and (unsually) a working battery of about 1 hour. It is configured to run troggle software locally (but not as user 'expo'). It is old and heavy but we do have a 12V supply for it. Installed in potato hut 16th July 2025.
  • In 2019 and 2023 we had "Aziraphale" . This failed to revive in 2025 and is pending repair in Cambridge. It has the identical[Cinnamon/Debian] configuration and survey software installed as Crowley. It is a big, heavy R61 14-inch Thinkpad on loan from Michael Sargent.

    Pulsifer, Barbie and Anathema also have a complete troggle development invironment installed, but this is not available from the "expo" login.(And is very slow on Barbie as it is all running from the SD card.)

    Laptop batteries

    Both Crowley and Aziraphale are old and have bad batteries. Crowley only runs 10-20 minutes on battery and Aziraphale only about half an hour or so. So both should be run permanently plugged in to mains power. Barbie's battery lasts a long time: several hours in use, but annoyingly it self-discharges if left unused.
