Dammit -_-

I accidentally typed scp cherrypytest.py templog.py when I meant to type scp cherrypytest.py templog.py skyserver:~/Desktop/webserver, and now my templog.py file is gone forever. I need to rewrite it JUST when it finally worked. Ugh.

Sky! Version control, damn it! Version Control!

I'm sorry ;__; It was just a small script!

B-besides, I rewrote it in thirty minutes! Better, faster, cleaner than before!

^{_{Besides, I forgot my virtual box had git >_>}}

These headphones. These goddamn headphones. It's not even the headphones, really, the headphones are great it's the cord that SHOULD be simple to replace but just isn't. It's like listening to the sounds through a concrete wall.

Go down to pay a bill that needs to be paid in person. Battery's dead. How could this happen? Passenger-side reading light is on. That just raises further questions! Nobody with a car is at home at this time of day and willing to answer the door, so I have to pay $60 to get it jumpstarted. Need to run car for 45 minutes before turning it off. Radio needs a code to reactivate, allegedly found on a pair of cards in my glove compartment. After rifling through it, determine that they had not, in fact, come with the car. Need radio serial number to get code - need to figure out how to pull the radio out myself in order to find it, since spending another $60 is not acceptable. That being literally the only information I needed, this whole theft deterrent system apparently serves no purpose since that serial number is printed directly on the radio itself. Get to the place I owe money - they're closed.

15 minute errand -> 90 minute ordeal

Spend entire time thinking of simple solutions to prevent the battery from dying like this.

So, due to the evil influence of Darth Greatorder, I have downloaded Origin to access my copy of The Sims 3 (I had a CD version of base game plus Ambitions registered in the long-forgotten mysterious era of 2010, plus some add-ons from Humble Bundle).

I downloaded the base game and the addons. I want to run the game when suddenly the menu asks me if I want to update it to the latest version. Which requires YET FUCKING ANOTHER over 1 GB file to download.

EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU INCLUDE THAT IN THE GODDAMN BASE GAME DOWNLOAD? ARE THE PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO PLAY WITH THE NEWEST PATCH OR SOMETHING?!

Possible solution: spare battery in the trunk? It sure would be nice if the electric system had some kind of shutoff where it won't let you use up the last bit of juice unless the car is running (in which circumstance we can assume the battery wouldn't run low anyway).

[Iceblaster]

Sorry, Scrdest. That's the problem with following a let's play of a game. It tends to make you want to play it.

* Iceblaster points to his copy of Just Cause 2

Perfect example.

Even better (and cheaper, as far as I know) solution is a power tank (search amazon for 'instant power' to see what I mean). Portable battery big enough to jump-start a car, built-in jumper cables, and you recharge it from a wall socket. Plus you've got a built-in flashlight and a 12-volt lighter port if you need them. Of course, a power-cutoff would be better than any other solution, really.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Maybe car manufacturers are really smart and thoughtful people, but nobody has ever had a battery go dead because they left something on. Certainly if there was a need for a feature the manufacturer would put it in.

If only there were some kind of computing device in the car that could control the electrical system. It's almost like you could program a solution and add it to the car's OS without changing your assembly line at all.

Snark aside, maybe they have this in newer cars.

I still don't know how that light got on in the first place. It's on the ceiling, and you need to press it!

[ChairmanPoo]

Having huge problems with my chargers. They seem to stop working for some reason..

[IronTomato]

It is cold enough in my bedroom to make my hands go numb.

Either I'm sleeping on the couch, or I'll have like 7 extra blankies tonight.

So. Sometime earlier today, while I was sitting around, I got dropped from this dedicated route I had been doing. No one thought to tell me. I then get assigned to go pick up a trailer from another driver. Again, not one peep. And now it is 9 at night, I head back to the truck for some shut-eye, and ONLY NOW do I discover all that has happened.

Everyone in the goddamn company has my phone number, yet not one person thought to let me know anything. Boss didn't call to say so much as a good-bye-good-luck. I could have been on my way hours ago, or maybe this is all a mistake and it could have been fixed hours ago. It's too late now though! Everyone who could answer my questions or find out what the hell happened has gone to bed, so now my only option is to do what I can tonight and try to get some answers tomorrow. And I will be getting some goddamn answers.

If there wasn't another person in this house, it'd be around freezing in this room right now. Unfortunately, as is, there is, and so the AC is on and it isn't. I can't curl up under my small mountain of bedding without overheating, and that is a great sadness. Hopefully there'll be a few more freezes later in the month...

... because being able to bury oneself under 5-10 blankets, and probably a smattering of pillows and a housecoat (or two) and maybe a jacket and why not throw in some gloves and socks and maybe a towel or three and a jacket and time to see what else the house has I can pilfer for heat catching and...

... well, the idea gets across. It is the best of feelings. To be warm, and not miserable, but happy. Because it's cold out, and thus adding warmth doesn't make you feel like shit. Which is what happens to me with any ambient temperature over about 70F. Below that, blankets are bliss. Over, and they are hell.

At least the AC vent's closed, so it's a little cool. Nose feeling a little nippy, if nothing else. It's something. If there wasn't a chance of rain while I'm asleep I might woulda' opened a window, let some of that glorious 37F air in...

Point... point being. Get the blankies. They are wonderful.

So apparently NVidia don't support OpenCL any more. NVidia basically dropped all pretenses at supporting the OpenCL standard for all their cards, and as such, they can't use above version 1.1, released in 2010. Hardware support is there; they just can't be arsed to write drivers for it. Well, guess any OpenCL code I write excludes the use of NVidia GPUs. Time to buy a proper AMD card (which will soon be faster and probably have better console porting ability because of Mantle anyway) and put this NVidia paperweight in the closet.

Yeah, so don't buy NVidia GPUs.

Pouring out sweat all day, pretty much every surface in my flat is painful to touch, and to top it off my fan just died, leaving a nasty smell of melting plastic in the room. I don't think I'll be able to play my PS3 anymore in this weather, the thing goes into overdrive trying to keep itself cool.

If only I had some money and could actually go somewhere.
