So, as you may guess, it’s the post nights rambling post. I don’t actually have that much to ramble about; I’m waiting to find out if I’ve passed my course. Which should happen some point in the next few days. If not then I can resubmit my dissertation, which is hopefully not going to be necessary, but not entirely a diaster. I’ve just checked and my exam board meets today. Oh holy sh*t. Of course being sleep deprived is the best way to deal with a stressful day.
I’ve sorted rejoining a nursing agency, paid for the service and repair of my watch (which has apparently had the quartz polished, the winder replaced, the hands relumed, and has been serviced), watched some MASH and had a tasty breakfast.
The rest of the day is to be spent considering the possibility of tidying, but probably failing to actually do it. Indeed, I’ve hit the wall of tiredness which suggests that I’m going to get pretty much nothing else done for the rest of the day.
Tomorrow is a different day; being the day when I intend to attach the light to the ceiling in the hall (and reattach the smoke alarm to the ceiling). I also would like to attach the phone to the wall, especially since a nice soul on the vintage radio forum has supplied me with a circuit diagram of the correct way to attach it to a modern network. Which means I can also attach it to the internet-phone adaptor. I’m thinking that before we leave I should pick up a REN booster, because then the two ‘period’ phones could run off the one internet-phone gidget, which would be quite cool. And, thanks to careful configuration, it rings like a UK phone. Which should throw anyone when we land up in Nova Scotia.
As a side point, we’re going to be heading over to the states at some point – and Kathryn’s mom asked me to bring over the Raspberry Pi. I’m not sure what software to chuck on it to demonstrate it though. Having XBMC doesn’t hugely help, because it’s configured for UK stuff and really, I think she’s interested in it as an educational device, not a media server/player. So that bears some thinking about. Ideally I should get another class 10 SD card to take, too. But I’ll probably just back-up the one I’ve got and dump something else on it.
Finally, for those of you who are interested; Dead Bug Jumping S02E04 is out! (Also on itunes).
