Total trick or treater’s – zero. The Haribo is mine.

So still trying to convince Android to build on VC2010. Solved the link error, it was caused by link ordering issues. I tried editing all the scripts to wrap -Wl,–start-group libs -Wl–end-group but this didn’t help, so ended up including some of the libs again using additional dependencies. So now it builds and deploys to my phone. Final couple of things to sort out are the copying of assets in the build script. And then may be some GDB support, but we never had any to start with, so doubt we will miss it much. It still works fine with logcat anyway.

New motherboard arrived, so had a play with that. Got the old Proxy server case out, that has a 60W external PSU but the internal connector is a plane ATX and the board required an extra PCie 4 pin 12V connector. Also needed was a SATA power connector, so it was out with the soldering iron. Twenty minutes later the PSU had been converted and the board was powering up. So I removed the old 2.5 hard disk and replaced with the spare SSD drive. All powered up and bios set, it then amusingly tried to load Windows 7 from an i7 Intel quad core. It failed, unsurprisingly, but did try and recover its self, it failed again. But that’s hardly the point, I need to install Ubuntu on it and then restore a backup from the this server. Job for another day, but so far so good.

Had another boiler quote, this one was a bit strange, invited the guy to have a look, he just said it was a fixed quote, I don’t think I’ll bother with him. Also was given a card from a friend, did a trace on the number, it goes to no less than five plumbing company names. Another one I won’t be bothering with.

Will give the new cleaning company a call tomorrow and try and get that arranged for next week.

Lots of new t-shirts have arrived. I may take them out of the bags at some point. Walked the dog. Went to the gym and ran for seventy four minutes. Ate salad.

On the good news front I may be getting the money back I’m owed from about 18 months ago and my salary restored back to it’s existing level. I’ll believe it when it’s in the bank, but something positive anyway. On the bad news front, Jamie is still fat. Oh yes, there’s still that butt cheek incident….but out of time tonight.

A T-Shirt should last for seven days

So it was back on with VC2010 PS3 stuff today. The first issue was fairly easily fixed, but the second issue I came across took the rest of the bloody day. It came down to some confusing settings in VC2010. In the end it all worked. Now there are a load of changes to be done in the mobile game, some I don’t really agree with, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Still only one day to go then I’m off for the week anyway.

Now I’m a great believer in that a t-shirt should last the whole week. I change it on Friday’s when I do the washing. Ok, so this weeks t-shirt had done two Hyde Park festivals on fairly hot days. But today even I thought it probably needed changing after I was about to blame the dog for stinking when she was actually outside. Incidentally for a dog she doesn’t have any particularly bad smells, except when she farts of course. This slightly throws me out of sync now as this t-shirt will need to do an extra day.

Walked non-smelly dog. Did a home check for a Rottie, went to the gym and ran. Eaton salad. It’s torture porn night, so roll on the wine.

Documentary on funerals – are my TV viewing habits that strange?

So started working on getting our current multi-platform project building correctly on VC2010. After a few false starts I got it built and started working through various SPU problems. I did get most of it sorted by the end of the day. Didn’t touch anything else, so was a bit of an interesting distraction. Odd things may be happening at work…time will tell. I will take my usual stance of plod on until fired, which has served me well for 25 years.

Had a few casual looks at IDE’s for Ubuntu. I think there’s a couple I’m going to take a further look at when I get the Ubuntu machine set up (client machine, server is still all working fine).

I think I need to crack on and finish editing these wedding photos though. If I do about ten a day I should get them finished fairly soon. I then need to sort these photo books out.

Ordered a load of Kindle books for the holiday yesterday, including a couple of Linux manuals and ‘The Hunger Games’, so got that and a Clarkson to get through.

Went to the gym. Ran. Now watching, “Come Dine with Me”. Shortly I will watch a documentary about funeral directors. If people didn’t watch them then they wouldn’t make them. Mind you I’ve got a fairly macabre interest in death and execution. I’m also watching a documentary called “Into the Abyss”, about a death row prisoner. In the past few days I’ve read about Scientology, Dr Who’s previous assistants, an investigation into a plane crash to do with fuel freezing and Michael Elphick (he had nothing to do with the plane crash). Were all going to die eventually, I just like to be well informed before I get there.

iPhone 5 launched today. Nothing too exciting, but they will sell shit loads of course.

Right, now to peruse coffins…

VC2010, okay looks pretty but will no doubt piss me off

So today normality resumed. I continued doing a few mobile game updates then installed VC2010 on the new SSD. That actually ended up taking most of the day, windows update after windows update. Finally got it all going, my Visual Assist no longer works so may have to invest in a new license for that.

Still haven’t shagged Dillon Samuels.

My faith in the dog walking fraternity has been restored after every one I came across today was friendly and chatty.

Went to the gym, ran lots.

Watch the Monza GP, which wasn’t quite as dull as it normally is. Think I’ll have a brew then take an early night. VC2010 to do battle with tomorrow.
