<’s doing pretty well, thanks for asking.

< loves <’s new phone.

< really feels bad about getting out of bed late. Then <'s day ends up being very short.

< usually tries not to let that happen, but had something of an exception last Saturday.

Nah, < says it wasn’t.

< has been busy as hell all day today. < is actually feeling really fatigued the last few days and < hasn't been visiting here as often as usual.

Speaking of sleeping patterns, < skipped a day to put it back in phase and now <'s cycle is too early. <'s been falling asleep at 10 and waking up at 6! Unholy hours indeed.

<'s on <'s way to the Gods of Rap tour with a couple mates in Wembley Arena, with Wu Tang Clan, Public Enemy and one of <'s favourite groups De La Soul. <'s looking forward to it

< was at a retirement party last night and got a train at 11pm, an hour at which < was previously unaware that trains even run!
< woke up with a headache this morning, even though < drank only one glass of orange juice (and several glasses of tap water).

< says hi to y’all.

Who knows what they're putting in our tap water though considering everyone protested against water charges here. < thinks it seems to have a lot of limescale in <'s area lately.

< says it's been awhile since < heard from ^. How has ^ been? Last < heard, ^ was making books using InDesign or something.

Yeah, that's why < never drinks water from the tap anymore and only drinks purified water from another tap that is thinner. And also because it tastes a lot cleaner than normal tap water.

Plus, no plastic use so no need to throw away plastic for deposit for selective waste bins also helping save the environment! (I know selective waste bins help save the environment, but the best thing is not even having to do that in the first place)

Another thing, on the topic of plastic, I don't think bottling water in plastic is a good idea and like with tap water, who knows what they put in it or what could've gotten into it even unintentionally. Also, they could've bottled it up months ago and only put it up now.

<’s doing pretty good, thanks for asking.

And yes, <’s indeed typesetting some classic novels using InDesign.

< knows it's got chlorine and fluoride in there, which < isn't thrilled about. Also it was Cork water, boy. :mrred: (If only that existed ) Still, < thinks it was probably the juice moreso. < doesn't drink it very often and <'s system doesn't seem to react to it very well.

Another funny thing that happened this week was that < came home Wednesday evening to find <'s TV-recording PC in the living room had turned off and would not turn on again. Here's why: https://vigovproductions.net/psu_fan_caked.webm < luckily had a spare PSU to hand, which even has a lighty-uppy fan!

< does still drink it from time to time and boils it for tea, but the kettle ends up filled with what looks like sand.

< had an old Corsair CX600 that used to sound like a Transit van on the motorway from time to time and < just replaced the 120mm fan in the PSU with a lighty-uppy fan. < likes lighty-uppy fans!

<'s PC is actually full of lighty-uppy fans, even <'s GPU has LED's.

< has just found out that a bird species that went extinct in the early 20th century has just recently came 'back from the dead' and is now Least Concern according to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It says it on the English Wikipedia too. < didn't even know species could do that, that's rad!

Us, as humans right now, as a Least Concern species for the past 200,000 years or so (btw I know that's not that much time compared to the history of Earth) might even come 'back from the dead' too after we go extinct for a long period of time and start living without global problems again cancelling all the stuff causing all those problems like petrol cars, airplanes and so on. Banning the use of petrol and diesel cars, making petrol inaccessible by taking down gas stations and basically bringing everything that's bad for the environment to a halt so that there's normal weather again, transitions from season to season etc.

< now officially owns <'s phone and is back on pay as you go, hooray!

Feck you bills!

< has got a new DVD burner to replace <’s faulty one.

it’s an ASUS SDRW-08D2S-U

< has been playing the Jaguar version of Rayman on a Retroarch emulator planning to get the screenshots for RayWiki, only to find out it's not even the right resolution as it has some of the image cropped. < found another emulator that does use the right resolution, but it was refusing to load the eeprom (save) file. < is at 57% and didn't want to start over. With a bit of luck, < opened the 2 emulators and let them both create new eeprom files, then inspected them with a hex editor. Turns out every 16bit integer was just in big endian (reversed), so all < had to do was switch every 2 bytes around and Allegro Presto, it worked.

Basically as an example, what < had to do was this, assuming this is just counting from 1 to 8 in a hex example:

"01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08" > "02 01 04 03 06 05 08 07"

< has been away for a long time because of a big a lot of time of school and studying.

The work still isn't away but < has time for this. < is currently at <'s aunt new and improved day care and it has two storeys. This one is a lot better than the old one she had. That place is a dump, seriously!

< sees that your curiosity paid off!
< is glad that we can finally replace those bad quality Jaguar screenshots.
