Karl’s Asylum ... for the terminally deranged

Yep, I’m not feeling on top of my game today. Not at all. I spent part of the day updating our build images…I slipstreamed in another 24 (ba$tard) windows updates, and made some scripty tweaking goodness that enables hibernation, and does a whole lot of other funky goodness that should make life a little easier.

I roll it out to a machine..fingers crossed. It boots. Loads, logs in (quick, too). Excellent. Hibernate? Oh YES. Scheduled cleanup and hibernation? Oh yes. All working great? Oh yes.

Job done. Ah, it DOES have the full install of Studio MX on it..? Of course..well, let me check..Fireworks..check. Dreamweaver. Check. Flash…check. Freehand? Arse.

Yes…build 0408v1 is incomplete. Lots of cursing..sod it, I’m going home. Now I’m sat here feeling a bit sick, got a headache, need some tunes and food..and I have this gnawing irritation that means I’m going to have to dial in from my desk at home and fix the sodding thing before I go demented…I hate being a perfectionist. I could just run the installer “post imaging”, but..dammit, no. Several hours work, scrapped.

TWB, I tell you. Also, I washed the car for the first time since…mid ‘07 yesterday. Came out tonight..2 big lots of bird crap on it. LOTS of TWB.

Can you tell I’m feeling a tad tetchy? :)

We walked into town earlier, as we do..it’s the “good exersize” way to go and top up the gas/electricity, and munch on a cake at the same point.

However, I was feeling a bit meh..so I let Jem go and do the tedious standing bit, and I went and stood out of the way. My eyes located the magazine area..hmm…

“Top Gear”..nah..”Motorcycles”..nah…”ooh, FHM”..tasty, but..nah..”Old Wrinkly and horny”….nah…..eh?..WHAT?!?!

Yes. That’s right..my eyes hadn’t betrayed me..top rack (almost)..some form of “older persons” porn mag..”Over 60’s” proudly proclaimed on the cover…and as for the cover girl, well..yes…the only reason I can’t say “tits round her ankles” is because they were resting on her Zimmer frame..seriously..

There are some REALLY worrying people out there…I wish I’d been less surprised and thought to grab a photo with my phone..

Wrinkly porn..all together now…”mmmmm”…What’s that? No, I said “mmmmmmm”. Not retching..!
