Morning
Terrible nights sleep, my neighbour seems to have brought his sons down to stay. They spent the night screaming and shouting, at one point banging on the walls, which made one of the dogs bark, and then they barked back at him.
Went round and knocked on the door. Porch light goes on. “Who is it?” “Adam and Amber from next door” “who is it?” “Next door” “...” light goes off. Didn’t answer us or anything.
Cunts.

Morning all! I went for a fantastic evening walk last night after the boy went down. An hour up and over the foggy Tye. Lovely stuff. Gamesblog - made sure to get UC4 and Dirt Rally added to my library on the PS4 before they got replaced by this month's PS+ freebies. That was about it. TVblog - 30 Rock and Justified. YouTubeblog - some camera bits, a few SNL sketches, and... Babylon 5's Narn attack at Gorash 7 re-rendered in 1080p (still using the original objects and scenes). Just wonderful. |

scubarThat's hellish. I have had neighbours like that in the past. What the hell is wrong with people?

scubar, this is why you lay the new patio after you've murdered the neighbours. Basic.

Employees could have to return to work with physical shields to separate them from colleagues, personal protective equipment (PPE) and limits on time spent close to each other, according to Ben Wallace, the defence secretary.
All that work put in by Scamander is finally paying off.
A personal Testudo formation.

I have hooked my work laptop up to my own pc monitor in the office to aid work efficiency. I just have to smuggle up the actual pc and I'm fuckin' made.
Games: Borderlands 3. I am about a third of the way through it but already bored of the bullet sponge enemy.
Telly: Started watching Extraction, seems very boring thus far.
Neighbours: when I lived next to a council house for my first inspired house purchase and they were violent coke dealers next door, so that was fun. Luckily the police came and arrested them one night as it was obvious what they were doing with cars parking up at all hours in the night. They were still a nightmare until the council turfed them out.

Scubar,
Sorry to hear. We've had our share too, nuking them from orbit is the only way to be sure. If you end up needing to take this further a noise diary is useful as it'll help lay out the times, dates etc.
Sheep,
I have been in a testudo. It was invigorating.
Gamesblog.
The Ezio collection is tempting me, Assassins Creed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations. Though I worry that the timed missions and bizarre control responses will lead to quitrage.

Hi!
Ganes? Not really.
Telly? The Jinx. Mental.
Ottm: starting to get RSI from all the, er, ripping. I'm about half way through 'C' now, so time for a couple of days off. Google music is really pretty good - apparently streams at 320kbps, which is more than good enough for my current laptop/bluetooth speaker setup. I am rediscovering all kinds of stuff that I had forgotten about, some of which I even like.

I found out the hard way that Windows Music defaults to a crappy 120 kbps or so when ripping from cd. |

Cutting the grass out back.
Goes to open front door so I can run power to cut the grass. Lock fucked.
Wonderful.
Mrs C "what happened?" What did you do?
Never mind that she had come in it 5 mins before I had tried to open it. What did you do, eh eh? I never asked.
So that will be electrician, boiler engineer and locksmith here during lockdown. Marvellous.

I found out the hard way that Windows Music defaults to a crappy 120 kbps or so when ripping from cd. Yeah, ripped them to FLAC to be on the safe side; then G Music scans your nominated folder and takes whatever it finds there. Unfortunately I am having to delete the FLACS as I don;t have enough storage to keep them. However, I read that Google music scans your files, and if it already has them in its database, it effectively just gives you access to those files (rather than literally uploading from your computer). So I guess that should mean everything is 320kbps regardless of the source quality. When reading the above, bear in mind that I don't know what a FLAC or a kbps is, and that I can barely turn a computer on and off without help. |

AC2 remains my favourite of the series.
Such a good game. I can even forgive Danny Wallace.
I got 99 of the feathers.
Ninety-fucking-nine. I could not find the 100th no matter what.
I had a map. I ticked them off one by one. Twice.
No idea which one I missed.
Revelations and Brotherhood were good as well

When reading the above, bear in mind that I don't know what a FLAC or a kbps is, and that I can barely turn a computer on and off without help. Free lossless audio codec KBPS is the amount of dat sent. You really need bit depth which is the richness of the data recorded. 16Bit is standard,. 24 Bit is good. 32 Bit is unplayable by my streamer. Plus frequency analysis. You half it for some reason and it tells you the highest audio frequency MP3 is 32K so cuts off at 16KH. CD is 44.1 so cuts off at 22 KHZ I record LPS at 192 which cuts off at 96KHZ. Human hearing cuts off between 16-20KHZ, but I am (reliably) told that there is added richness to the sound from ultrasonic frequencies. But really I just like big file sizes. I can't tell the difference in sound, but there is something very satisfying abut a 500MB audio file (My first pc had a 40MB HD). You know what they say: Large files, large hard drive. |
