December 27th

It was a grubby day, so we wasted it playing Warcraft.  In the evening, we watched "Divergent: Insurgent".  Interestingly it looks like it's not the series ender that it looked like.

I also managed to get CHDK working on the new camera that I bought to replace the one I gave Mum - before I realised how few cameras actually support CHDK :)  The problem was the formatting of the MicroSD card - oh, and Windows won't format an SD card larger than 32Gb as FAT32, so I had to find an application to do that.

Another day playing Warcraft, and I put together an order for stuff to build a replacement home theatre PC - the current one is having issues, and it's about 9 years old, so I figure it's time.  I think the problem is that the power supply can't handle the new graphics card, so it ends up freezing solid.  I don't think it's worth investing any more time or money into hacking this thing to work any longer.

In the evening we watched "Guardians of the Galaxy".

We cooked, and Vince came over and ate.

I had the day off, so I wasted it playing Warcraft.  In the evening we watched "Trainwreck" on Blu-ray.  We'd rented it when the DVD version was all out, and I had to spend hours getting the software to play it all sorted out when I found out that the Totalmedia software we had been using doesn't work any more - it looks like the company that wrote it no longer exists.

I went down to the office for a visit and to pick up mince pies.  The traffic's getting worse, and that means a lot of people are driving like total pricks, which is making the traffic worse.  There were a couple of cops waving their arms about ineffectually, but they're not actually doing anything to help with the traffic flow.

We watched "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation".  Not bad :o)

December 17th

After clearing a bunch of the leaves from the front garden, I went and did almost an hour in the plane.  Of course it wasn't as cold as it'll be in January, but still, practice.
