Started this morning with coffee, I’m sure the non-alcoholic lager gives me a bigger headache than the full fat stuff. Did a home check for a kitten, kitten didn’t mind. Walked Sasha. Had lunch and then drove towards town. Walked into town, bought some presents. Failed to buy some others. Walked back to car. Did accounts, had a bath. One more week of work left before Christmas, I’ll see how this weeks goes but I think the end is coming closer and closer, may be new year, do something different.

Can’t remember how much I slept for but it wasn’t enough
Did enjoy last nights book, half of Hollywood from the 80’s has now been raped, very odd for an autobiography. Started the morning with coffee and the paper. Finally got up and had hair cut. Apparently last visit was May, don’t expect the next one will be until about August. Walked Saha. Then tried to do a home check for a kitten, failed, booked for tomorrow instead. Finished off the plastering. Wait for it to dry, then ready for a bit of sanding and filling. Need to settle on some colours then.
Busy day mostly out tomorrow. Need to get a photo printed, do this home check for a kitten and go into town. Also have one lot of wine to stabilise, another batch is now brewing.
Four hours on, four hours off
So managed four hours sleep last night, just a shame I was awake the four hours before. Gone off cold again today. Booked haircut for tomorrow, last one was in April. Walked Sasha. Work was okay I guess, sorting out other elements of the HDR stuff. Walked to the gym, did Pump, picked up a paper and walked home. Do the washing, pizza and Alan Sugar. Think I’ll then have an early night as I’m really enjoying my book.
The science of sleep
So Monday night I only slept with the aid of drugs, Tuesday I was tired but didn’t sleep at all, Wednesday I slept several times and also woke up several times. Work went well today. Got on top of the HDR thing and got the results I wanted. Now passed everything over to an artist to twiddle with. Finished late, but was quite enjoying it and it was raining. Went out for a run afterwards. My Naked Wines order arrived, that’ll last a few days. Added the yeast to my next batch of Chenin Blanc.
HDR should be called high static range
Started this morning with an SLI flicker issue, that was fairly straightforward. Then it was back on to HDR. Some interesting results here, still much trekking up and down stairs. Looks like I will have to do some dynamic exposure though as our dynamic range far outstrips the range of the TV. Quite a warm day today, walked Sasha. Walked to the gyn, did Pump, only two more Pumps and one Combat left this year now.
It’s all about the range, dynamic range
Started a few minutes later than I should of, but at the end of the day, due to conducting an interview I ended up working almost an extra hour anyway. Spent all day running up and downstairs looking at the telly. Still working on HDR stuff, very interesting. Need to add a load of debugging features to it really rather than just guessing at everything, getting good results at the moment though. Walked Sasha in the rain. Went for a run in the rain. Having another early night I think, I’m getting quite into a book I’m reading at the moment.
Upstairs downstairs
Had an interesting day traipsing up and down stairs. I have one PS4 setup downstairs on the HDR 4K TV, the controlling PC is upstairs. Still, good for exercise. Weather was mild but wet again. Walked Sasha. Walked to the gym, did Combat. Walked home. Ate fairly early for me. Going to have an early night and read a book.
Life is so much easier if your plaster is not two years out of date
Started this morning slowly. To the point the dogs got me up to let them out for a pee and I went back to sleep. Had coffee and breakfast for three at about 11:30. Jamie had already gotten up at about 4:30. Rearranged the bedroom ready for work. Took Sasha out on a nice long walk to make up for yesterdays poor weather. Got back and Jamie was home from work. PVA’d the work area. Put up some Crimbo lights outside and then mixed up some plaster. It’s so much easier to work with if it’s in date. Got the bulk of it all finished. Ordered something from Amazon at about 12PM, it arrived by 6PM, that’s just a bit odd. Bottled the Chenin Blanc, twenty eight bottles and one of cloudy stuff. Had a bath and phoned mother. Her ‘Lady Shave’ arrived, they are all battery powered these days. So bought her a plug-in charger and some batteries as well. I can just hear the moaning now…..
That’s just salad dressing
Odd thing happened this morning, Jamie miss heard me and thought I’d said, “Put on celery”, to which I replied, “That would be salad dressing”. That was the best pun of the day. Had two lots of coffee and read the paper. Is Harry On the Boat? (Google it). Then we got up. Went to a Homebase and a B&Q, I bought plaster, Jamie bought Christmas decorations. Weather today was absolute shit. We put up the Christmas tree. Had a shower, few glasses of wine, early night. Incidentally my chest has been mostly fine today. Still looking forward to death. Plastering tomorrow.
So my foray into SLI and Crossfire is over
Had another fun day of chest pains, looking forward to death, even picked out a casket, it’s blue, like the infinity. Actually wasn’t as bad as yesterday. Finished off the SLI / Crossfire work and checked it all in. Walked Sasha. It’s been very mild the last few days. Walked to the gym, did Pump, walked home. Basically I’ve doubled the frame rate in ten days on multi-gpu systems. Yey.
