I should be sorting out the new laptop, but I'm not. I have totally sacked it off for the moment. My plan is wait until Mrs T wants me to do something laborious* and then use the lappy as an excuse not to do so.
*not that.
Weather report: Rain, good solid British rain.

Also, Windows10 gives me the spiffy whiffs, aka the heebie-jeebies.

MrTiddlesThe setup itself is straightforward. The Windows updates take a long time however. I left mine to run overnight.

Good morning,
I hope everyone remembered to put their bins out last night.
No games.

Morning all.
When the lady next door has her kids over, it's like a bloody reunion of Stomp. Gone midnight they were still banging and crashing about.
I've a right mind to passive-aggressively tut, loudly.
Gamesblog: Skyrim. I continue to enchant strong and strong alchemy apparel. Though it has come to my attention that I need to chuck some points at the Alchemy skill itself on my next level.
TVblog: my internet connection was naff later on in the evening, so Amazon Prime wouldn't play anything. Damnit, Jeff.
So I ended up watching "CarPervert" on YouTube having a drive of the new VW EV. In what amounted to something like 240p.

Morning.
I see mention of cars and updates. I just did my map update for the motor and it was 26gb! Only takes an hour and a half to upload too. Sheesh.
What happened to holding a stained roadside map in your lap whilst you steered the car with your knees? Madness
*this maybe the most boring post I will ever create

I've had to come in to work today. I will also have to come in tomorrow. This aggression will not stand! I've even had to press my formal chaps. Games: I started a NG of Spiderman, so I can shoot my web fluid legally all over the city. OTTM: I got some lovely scenic pieces from an Italian company. I did a Facebook live unboxing video on my Cyberhaggis page, because I am just SO COOL. www.facebook.com/groups/760610021358368/?ref=share |

Morning
I have had my official summons to get my sorry arse back into the office tomorrow. End times.
This apparently is to allow me to 'clear my desk', and take even more crap home, while the place is de-fested of rat-poop and virii. Happy days!
I may have a deep dislike of the whole 'Apple' culture, but thanks to Jeff I've upgraded an obsolete ipad 3 for a sleek ipad 7, and to say the difference is noticeable is quite the understatement. I've 2 factored the login, so the pesky grandkids can't fill it with blurred selfies and make-up apps... ha!

I watched the Nicholas Anelka documentary, it says a lot about the man that despite it being a documentary he had full control over, he still comes across as a massive twat.
I also watched Project Power which was decent.
Game wise I am back playing Doom 2016, but the Steam version.

Tids, if it has a usb C port you can purchase a hub for about £12 that will give you an Ethernet port.

I think those are verified as safe to use by the amateur radio enthusiasts too.

Hell(o)
I've got a two hour Digital Champions zoom call at 11 with breakout groups on various topics. I've just read the Agenda and at 11.05 there is an 'ice breaker'
Fuck that. If someone could call in a bomb scare about 11.02 please. I'll post the zoom details. I'm assuming one of you has a Balaclava.
Games. No.
TV. No.
Pc sorting and Google play music downloading. Yes.

Why does Tiddles need a wired connection? He does not.
He needs to put the wireless router close to where he wants to be while he streams porn.

Bin day for recycling stuff, though we must have broken a lot of glasses over the last fortnight as there were loud clinking noises as I took the bin down last night. Very strange.
