Just got Forza Horizons 4 Ultimate for £37. I tell the store to install it and seconds later I have this mess in my Start menu. And this isn't even all of it, there are other cars listed elsewhere!?!
WTF!!!!!
On Thursdays a twig poked me in my eye. By Friday I couldn't open my eye at all. I went to a pharmacist to get some ointment but they wanted me to go to A&E. So I ended up having to go to Accident & Emergency to get it checked and saw a doctor who said it looked scratched and that I would have to got back on Saturday to see an eye specialist. So I go back to see the eye specialist and they confirm a big deep scratch which is thankfully above my area of vision. I now have to put 2 types of ointment in my eye every hour for a week. Thankfully this afternoon I can finally open my right eye again for most of the time, but my vision is a bit blurry.
Thankfully my eye should repair fully soon.
Thankfully my house is fine and doesn't look like it will flood, but at least one of my neighbours down the road has water in their house and roads are flooded all over the place.
I'm going to keep yelling at the clouds until they go away!
I was eating my lunch today and there was a bang on the window and I saw some feathers. I looked outside to see a Buzzard had decided to have some lunch also, a Collard Dove in this case :/
After posing for photos the Buzzard flew off with the Dove in it's talons. I assume to make a delicious pie for all the family.
I had a problem on the raspi server that caused the site to go down for a while. Not quite sure when the problem started but it should be good now.
Essentially an external drive failed and so the raspi filled the sd card with data that should have been on the external drive. Once the sd card was full the raspi refused to function :/
Took a little time to fight my way through all the various file permission issues and delete the unwanted data to get things back to normal.
I awoke today to find it snowing. It lasted about 2 hours.
Then it rained for about 2 hours.
Then it was almost sunny for about 2 hours.
Then it was hail for an hour.
Then it was thunder and lightning for 20 minutes.
Then it was sleet for 30 minutes.
WTF!?!?!
My old trackball died a little while a go so I got by just using the touchpad on my laptop, but sometimes the touchpad just work as well as a mouse or trackball. The MX Ergo is pretty expensive, £73, but I'm impressed with the feel and quality. It works perfectly for games and 3D work where the touchpad just isn't ideal, and it's prefect on the arm of the sofa too where a mouse wouldn't work very well :)
After the expense of the summer on the house I delayed buying new drives for my laptop. Thankfully the time has come for a new 1Tb 970 Evo SSD for the OS and apps and a 2Tb HDD for my data and less used apps.
Instead of just cloning the current drives I'm going to start from scratch so I'll be probably be switching drives back and forth for a few days as it will take ages to get it all setup again!
I received an old laptop recently that had a dead motherboard. It was worth repairing so I stripped it for parts. I bought an LCD control module from China for £18 and made a stand to create this minimalist monitor :D
