[even when my heart is cold]
Hmm, "caffeineated" is not a mood here, TGBob?
Regardless... trying to update a bit more frequently here. "Only" 2 week gap this time?
Not doing great at the hourly thing, but I am trying to get back into tracking what I'm spending my time on, since I totally stopped doing that within a year of moving out here. Mostly it didn't seem like I had enough time to DO anything to make tracking it matter, but... I'm not moving forward, which means time IS being spent (on nothing) so that needs to change.
followup/recap:
4) Um.. that was "TRB" not "TRG". Sorry :(
I did find the missing email though; still working on updating to the new campaign.
Also have a couple things from ninja wrapup to do by next week, and a huge pile of catchup sessions to synopsify.
5) Yup, still no library.
6) Undervolted again (twice) and did a little better at cleaning the heatsink, and temps are now under 55 folding on all cores O.o Not sure how she'll handle ripping DVDs since that was hotter last time I tried it... but I don't think I have anything that needs ripping right now.
A) And of course I'm staying up later and not waking up again. Bah. Saturdays have been "going to work with only 4 hrs sleep" which isn't as bad as it sounds since Sat afternoons tend to have a reasonable amount of downtime between calls... but Sat nights / Sundays are weird; I've been crashing early, getting a four hour nap, then crashing again before I can get to church and getting another 4hr nap or so.
No GURPS this Mon AM so if I can wake early I'll get to the library?
New stuff:
alpha) This past week or so was a nasty mix of depressed/emotional. I think I'm regaining some sanity but thats always tenuous/fleeting.
beta) Microsoft is retiring support for WinXP sometime in the next 3 weeks... so I'm not sure if prices will drop for it online, or if I'll have to end up getting Win7 for a virtual machine. In the latter case, I'll have to save up some money for that...
Futurecasting:
1) Debating my approach to the internets. On the one hand it's outdated, but on the other... I really can't get a smartphone without ripping ALL the software out to avoid sending 'free' GPS info back upstream. I'm not if thats a viable option or if it's too much trouble, but I'm also not considering that enough to do the research on it.
If I DO get a smartphone, I would require some sort of virtual keyboard app (which may not exist in a viable state yet) and a VPN connection to my home machine, similar to a supercomputer/terminal setup.
Google glass (or similar AR appliance) would make the interface easier, obviously...
But yeah. I don't like the social media / self-as-brand drek, but when I get a job that allows microbreaks and use of smart/cellphones->internet, I will be very tempted to push one of my side identities that way, presuming I can find one worth publishing content under.
My rationale?
Well, word on the street is that Facebook is starting to pull a MySpace... and it's made a couple moves that seem to be moving away from its current niche anyway.
Of course, I'm mostly just consuming content rather than creating any, but I do seem to like boosting signal for some things... so I'll be looking into ways to do that, in the next year or so. This is all medium-term stuff.\
Also, I seem to be coming down from today's caffeine dose, so I'm going to stop rambling and try to get on to other things for tonight.
More later/eventually :)
[you assure me it's worthwhile]
