do the robot

The ICT robot. Everyone is doing it.

OK, no one is doing it. Except me. *sigh*

still alive

Sometimes the boy finds something brilliant. Like this.

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here
HUGE SUCCESS

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

live still alive

No sense wasting time...

going bang

Still in decompress mode, and having the range closed isn't helping. Amazing how blasting paper targets can be relaxing. But at least up on 2 wheels (both versions), nobody fell over, and sushi to boot. Fireworks on tv aren't quite the same, but when you're in anti-social mode...

the day after

While most everyone celebrated here, others were working. And dying. A quick scan of the week's military deaths indicates part of why we've been working so hard. And now to make it better...

comeback kid

focus

I got no focus.

No wait. Timing. I got no timing.

No wait. Veracity. I got no veracity.

No wait. Focus. I got no...umm...what was the question?

how many days?

I've lost track. But there are some number of days left and it is less than 30. I suppose I should do the maths...

travel replicated

Another trip south for dog-and-pony, traveled on 2-wheels. Last time I did this work trip I ended up with sciatica and was off the bike for a month or so. So far so good...

cut cut cut

How can I trim down 45 minutes of perfect footage down to a 7 minute trailer? I suppose you divide by 6 with 3 left over. Whatever that means.

Note to self: laptops get wicked hot when rendering video.

keel hauled

Actually, no keel on a Catalina 14.2, but someone knows his stuff...

failure is not an option

Well, I suppose it is an option but not one I'm willing to put up with. Especially for a $300K LMS. That system better work ALL the time *and* make my espresso for me.

I hate contractors...

8 hours of driving and no surf at the end of the day. But could be worse. I always could be worse...

live by the sword

What happens when you miss a couple of classes? Well you stand around like an idiot when the class runs the form. How does that move go again? Thank gawd for youtube...
