    Well it has now at least been dispatched due for delivery today (Saturday) :clap: Only problem is that I put down my work address thinking that they were delivering it yesterday and there'll be noone there to sign for it today... :sigh: Oh well - I'll get it Monday :)

    14 hours into the render and it fell over, so pissed right now!

    REALLY PISSED!


    New language was been created, that next door's dog just died from the obscenity.

    Cut resolution, and the amount of samples and pray it doesn't come out nosier than chainsaws mating.

    We got our new house delivered, asshats didn't hook up the central AC. We're gonna make them come back out. Thing looks like it's been on the receiving end of a thousand asses anyway. House is perfectly level, though. That's a plus.

    I’m freaking mind boggled on life

    I normally put all my stressful issues down on paper, then work though them one by one until I figure I don’t need to be stressed anymore and have a way out.

    However as soon as I start thinking now my stomach starts to tense up and makes me want to puke.

    I missed Doctor Who again. I planned on getting up before it started to watch it and then head off to work.

    Oh well can always watch it tomorrow.

    Bleh work.....

    1st world problem, I can't play WoT whilst my machine is rendering.

    Luck would have the failed render, which I re-rendered only took 3 hours, so feck knows why it originally wanted to take 40 hours and crash after 14 hours.

    Screw it, I got my image, now rendering another.

    I think they took a beating when they went on a journey around a bunch of rigs. I've sent martin custom audio an email to see if he'll repair them(and also make me some cocoboo or mun ebony cups), otherwise I'll try and repair it myself.

    Sadly, I didn't see it happen myself, I was busy enjoying myself with the HE60 and the STAX SR007.

    1: Decided to upgrade the waste pipe before fitting my new washing machine - whoever did it before left it sloping uphill!
    2: Begin drilling holes to add some extra support brackets to correct the problem, picking a spot which is unlikely to intersect the defunct gas cooker line buried in the wall.
    3: After first hole, shut off gas at meter and call emergency help line.
    4: Gas response guy shows up quick & says all he can do is shut off gas at meter.

    TL;DR - No gas or hot water, and have to book a day off work for gas fitter to come fix. Washing machine still not installed.

    have to pay a £100 fine to the dvla for not declaring my bike off-road or not insuring it.

    Never had the bike documents since i bought it, i thought they got sent after the financing had been paid off also its been for sale for months :(

    So can't even declare it off road until i pay money for new forms and they arrive...

    RoyalFail pricing; £4.10 to post a small packet weighing 129 grams- I charged £3.99 luckily so no great loss..

    Also, inconsistent moderators; someone calls me an OCD freak and that's cool, I suggest they stay in the kitchen ( casual sexism & misogyny Cheesecake ) and that's worthy of a warning; uh-hu. Look on the bright side though, atleast I don't have to suffer periods every month for ~40-50 years of my life :D

    HP ZR2740w decided to leave me for a silicon heaven (or hell). I guess it will be another week until they will get the panel for a onsite service (that is "the service guy brings the new panel, removes the old panel from the stand*, puts the new panel on the stand*, takes the old panel away" system; *stand part is optional if you use a VESA mont).

    At least i will put my HP 23xi to some use. Funny that i was thinking about starting using my spare 23xi as a 3rd monitor just today, few hours before ZR2740w died.
