OCD strikes again

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

This morning I found out how to screen grab on the iphone (press bottom button and then tap on/off button) so now I am showing off my Angry Birds achievements. (sad but true!) Seriously, if you own an iPhone or iPod touch and haven’t played this game yet you are missing out!

I finished level 6 while in the bath last night. Then realised there was an update available so now I’m working on level 7!

Second geeky caching post

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I may do these at irregular intervals when I am very bored and probably ought to be doing something else, like updating the orchestra website or something. Here’s an update on the last geeky caching post that I wrote about six months ago. Easier to view pictures big on flickr if you’re actually interested, otherwise you can get a vague idea from the filled in counties on the uk maps, say ‘yes dear, that’s nice’, and flick on to the next blog ;)

First here are last year’s graphs:

And now today’s:

Adding in the little graph that shows difficulty and terrain, as I am particularly proud of the 5/5 that we did last year!

Okay now I’m *really* annoyed

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

I started being annoyed at 5am this morning when Josiah woke up and started music practice – normally I’d be really pleased with him for just getting up and getting on with it, but not at 5am! He hadn’t realised the time until he went downstairs for breakfast afterwards and looked at the kitchen clock. Couldn’t really get too cross because for starters in order to get cross I’d have had to get out of bed, and as soon as he did see the time he sat quietly watching tv until 7am.

Secondly some ebay buyer is messing me around and doesn’t want to complete their transaction, which is just irritating in the extreme for a number of reasons.

And NOW. Now. I have been playing this silly game called MySims on the wii for a few weeks, and was going to complete it today – complete as in have collected all the UberSims and maxed out the town in the various ways you can do it. Anyway, the daft game developed a bug at the last minute, and wouldn’t let me move the last UberSim in. Or move any other Sim in for that matter, it had one Sim stuck in its memory and wouldn’t even move that one in. So I gave up, which I probably should have done weeks ago, it must be the most boring game on the planet, I really don’t recommend it – only people with ocd like me will get a kick out of completing boring tasks just for the sake of collecting everything and ticking all the boxes. But even I’m not OCD enough to start again from scratch.

Guess I’ll have to do some housework instead. I’m waiting in for some shelves to arrive today, and it has seemed futile to do much cleaning until they’re here, as when they are set up I am planning a major re-organisation of books and stuff around the whole house, which will create loads of mess, which I’ll have to clear up after, so there really isn’t any point clearing up beforehand, is there?

Watch this space …

Following a bit of a trend and with the greatest of thanks to my technical assistant, WP is upgraded here too … new tarski theme installed, which I will be fiddling with all evening – joy :D

Update
I have the part of tarski that I wanted working now, even if I did have to delete a whole section of code to sort it out (not exactly the best way to sort it but it’s done the job), and that’s the tag cloud. I just love looking at it! And of course now I have to go back through my 1600 odd posts to tag them all, which appeals greatly to my ocd tendencies. As if I didn’t have enough to do with consolidating my acww catalogue ;)

Can’t sort the picture just yet so the colours/piccie at the top might take longer to sort out – and I think I (and therefore you ;) ) just have to live with it for a while before making any more theme changes
