Struggling to get moving to work after only 45 minutes sleep last night. Was writing up an OU assignment and decided at the last minute half of it was completely wrong so spent the night rewriting and agonising over what to say. As it is I'm not sure it's any better than my original approach but it's handed in now.

Cursing the appalling weather for making it impossible for me to get more piccies of the Hoegh Osaka on the way to work this morning. Got a few last night, of it under tow, but I'm hoping for things to happen within sight of my 500mm lens at lunchtime, so I can have another go. It just about fills the frame at 500mm, from Lee on Solent.

Listening to the wind outside and failing to persuade myself to get out of bed

Not ParkRunning.

(Although even I would have finished the course by now!).
Too windy (the venue gets closed if the wind speed exceeds a certain limit, bits of Elizabethan house falling on people does tend to put a dampener on things).

Sounds like fun.

Awake, drinking coffee. Going to use a breadmaker and make some bread as there is none in the freezer. Decided to add a dash of sourdough starter and a dash of chilli oil. Currently the dried yeast is sitting waiting to become frothy.

Have added some stoneground wholemeal flour that was given to me as the flour doesn't seem to rise properly when used in a breadmaker. So added 100g of that and some dried yeast that doesn't seem so lively. Will see what happens on a rapid bake setting.

EDIt Used allison dried active yeast in the bread maker and should have used fast bake stuff....seem to have made a thing...but am hungry....

Croaking, coughing and sneezing. Completely zapped from previous treatment so this is not helping.

Being hypnotised by the "Disk Activity" pane in Windows Resource Monitor. Just what is iTunes up to over and above determining audio volume, and why does it appear to be doing it every twenty minutes?

Staring at code wondering what the good idea I had before I opened this file was and wondering if I should just go to bed^[1] before I break something.

_{[1] Thus ensuring that I either remember what the good idea is just before I fall asleep, so I annoy barakta trying to dump a summary of it to non-volatile storage via a crappy touchscreen, or that I have one of those annoying coding dreams where you come up with a solution that's elegant, functional and turns out to be complete bollocks as soon as you wake up.}

Trying to decide if rivers of snot, a stonking headache and a general feeling of feeble is ill enough not to go to work.

It looks like it does a scan of every directory in the media library, presumably to check for new Stuffs or to report back to the RIAA how much of the old Stuffs you haven't bought from the Mega-Global Fruit Corporation of Cupertino, USAnia's Company Store.

Pro crastinating. I am not your amateur crastinator, I have elevated the status and refined the artform.

Lessons given for reasonable cost, but you will have to wait until I can fit you in.

Listening to the original version of Hawkwind's "Silver Machine". After forty-odd years of being used to Lemmy's vocal track, it's well weird

Sitting in El-Eh-Ex and not looking forward to saying goodbye to sunshine and warmth. Should have gone with plan A that would have seen me getting a flight to Hawaii rather than London. Bah to my wife and her stupid work commitments.

Sitting in a dead car waiting for the RAC to arrive. Tried jump-starting it but to no avail. Fingers crossed it's just that I was doing it wrong rather than there being a more serious problem.

Sigh.

Giving the green Genesis frame a going over with baby wipes prior to doing the 'proper' photographs. Of course, Sod's Law is such that now that I've finished the cleaning and am ready to take stuff outside for snappage it has started snowing again ...

Making onion soup, playing jelly splash, and thinking about getting ready for my Scottish Swimming session later.

I'm about to make another batch of kale and apple soup - it's a lot nicer than it sounds.

Just finished two coats of paint in the Kitchen, I just need to touch up the cutting in on the ceiling to hide the sloppy application of the previous colour and the skirting boards where I haven't been as accurate as I would like but that can wait till later / tomorrow.

Tidying up. I'm trying a new method, which I refer to as "finally throwing out all the crappe".

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #19724 on:** 17 January, 2015, 06:08:58 pm »

Contemplating Excel/MP3Tag SCIENCE such that I can automagically rediddle track numbers on double albums, box sets and so forth, that the DLNA Wossname might play them in the right order.

And getting a headache
