Got straight on with it this morning, although we were all up at about 5AM for a peeing session. I topped up on water, everything was fine.

Work wise I had a couple of issues to sort in x64, the first was just an alignment problem, the second more interesting turned out to be a compiler bug, fun fun.

Walked the dogs. Went to BodyCombat, that was hard work tonight, no combat next week due to the bank holiday. Came back and did some more work, got some fun stuff to do tomorrow. I’ve got two cuts on my fingers , which are rather annoying as it’s where I need to hold the cyclic, hopefully it will heal quickly.

Jamie is trying to sort out the artwork for the arcade cabinet, now we’ve finally worked out what options we are going to have.

Today it rained and was rather miserable. I’ve felt pretty tired all day so didn’t get up until quite late. Walked the dogs, probably wasn’t as exciting as they’d like but it was pissing down.

Had some lunch. Then started out on the Gromit trail again. Oddly I programmed in the wrong road on the sat-nav, so the one I was going for I was nowhere near. Ended up quite close to another one though. Drove round five in the end, where it continued to constantly rain. Picked up some crickets and a paper. Also ended up by Machine Mart, so popped in and picked up a new hose for the compressor. Visited mother.

Came back and fell asleep with Jamie. Actually fell asleep with Jamie and two dogs, who actually make pretty comfortable cushions.

Did the accounts. Paid the balance on the holiday and printed out the vouchers, so that’s all down.

Jamie is cooking tonight. This could be interesting. Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow, or it may be time to do more work on the dining room.

A bit peed off that the laptop I was after in Tesco’s isn’t in stock and now the offers ended. Never mind, give it a week and they’ll have another one. Shopping arrived, it was uneventful.

Today I’ve been working on a 64 bit version of our current project. And at the end of the day (and it’s been a very long one), it mostly all works. There have been a few fun tasks along the way, sorting out scene graphs, various memory allocation issues. Anyway, it’s been quite good fun really. There’s still quite a bit of work to do on it, but will get it all going fairly quickly. I can then move on to what I’m supposed to be doing.

Went to pump. The view was greatly improved by a lovely young blonde called ‘Daryl’, he’s a dancer apparently. He can come swivel on my pole anytime.

Bath time.

Today started again rather normally. Took Sasha to daycare. Dillon missed her. Still working on 64 bit conversion stuff, all going okay. Then took a break to go to the dentist. Considering I haven’t been for 18 months I got off pretty lightly. I was supposed to only have a check-up, but he said he had the time if I wanted work done now, so as I was already sat there I told him to empty my wallet. Which he duly did. I had two fillings removed and replaced and another tooth reshaped. It’s not like you’re normal NHS dentist quick drill and then inject the filling, this was all hand crafted and sculpted. I now have three teeth with nice white fillings, rather than the old mercury shit. It’s just a shame that I have another fourteen to replace. It cost two-hundred and twenty odd quid. Thankfully he said he didn’t want to see me for another year and just visit the hygienest with the same regularity. So I have an appointment in a couple of weeks for that.

Came back and got back on with work. Then picked up Sasha. She was suitably tired. Jamie walked Dillon. I went for a run, it was almost raining but not quite, so actually quite pleasant running weather. Still waiting for my new running shoes, old cross country ones have lots of holes in.

Morning started fairly normally. Until the courier arrived delivering an ice making machine. It’s huge. It’s currently by the coffee machine and making it feel jealous. I think it needs relocating to the fridge stack, which needs relocating due to the arcade cabinet.

Work wise was still converting stuff to 64 bit. Well running it, watching it crash and then fixing it. It’s mildly therapeutic.

Lunchtime I left the dogs on their own and went for a run. I’ve decided with five weeks to go until the holiday it’s time to make a bit of an effort. So I’ve only eaten salad and not drank anything, well other than tea and coffee.

Finished work vaguely on time then watched TV. Had a shower and now watching more TV. Sasha off to daycare tomorrow, I’m off to the dentist. She will have more fun.

This morning started off normally. No one else died. This is a good thing.

Work wise was mainly fixing up the engine on lots of different platforms. Lots of compiling.

Walked the dogs. Went to combat. Undecided what size screen we are going to have for our arcade cabinet. Need to measure things.

Oh, finally booked a dentist appointment.
