So as we all know, fun is dead. No one is allowed to have any fun anymore, what with the news shoving constant drudgery down our necks (I haven't watched, read or listened to the news in a very, very long time, with the eception of what makes its way to my facebook page. Regardless, I am confident that I am correct in this assertion, and that the news is still a parade of misery) and everything being just the worst at all times.
On a more personal note, Summer Holidays (tm) have ended, so I'm back at work.
That is the real tragedy.
Also, my school has bought in a new load of laptops which have, after close inspection with a ruler, 12 inch screens. 12 inches. In a laptop. They're fully laptops too, the screen doesn't unclip like a tablet, all the connectors are in the base. And they have touchscreens.
What on earth.
Someone at the municipal service for education was scammed (see: bribed) into buying these shit sandwiches.
The keyboard is miniscule. I can cover half the keyboard with two fingers which makes typing a nightmare. The screen is god knows what resolution because who can tell as everything is tiny. WHO WOULD USE TOUCHSCREEN ON A LAPTOP WHEN THE MOUSE IS RIGHT THERE?
The whole thing is a terrible piece of deign.
So now you're thinking, 'what's the point of this little rant?' To be honest I haven't thought that far yet.
Anyway. My second book is coming along nicely. This one might actually see a release. Once I'm at the final editing stage I'll start looking for an illustrator to do the covers (I draw like a four year old) and I'll start the self-publishing process.
Unfortunately I have a pretty solid idea of what I want out of the whole thing, which might make the self-pub system somewhat more annoying and substantially less accommodating.
My big target, my life goal, is to sell a hundred copies. I want to sell a hundred books in my lifetime. That is my aim. If it takes me writing fifty books and getting my mum and dad to buy a single copy each then so be it.
Digital or physical doesn't matter, just one hundred books.
Is there any way a touchscreen laptop with miniscule keys could help me in writing? I'm struggling to find a connection... No, I really can't think of one.
Anyway, in other news, I went to the same festival I went to last year. You might say I'm a regular, now that I've been twice. Last year was incredibly disappointing in terms of pictures and this year was only marginally better. I've started the process of editing them and have found a couple I like so far. I don't know whether they'll go into the 'best of,' folder I keep, but they're decent enough to stick on here at the very least. (Truth be told one or two of them might go onto the Japanese calendars I make for Christmas, but don't tell anyone).
Those updates will come about when I get home and don't immediately fall asleep on the sofa. We've just installed new aircon and it's glorious. It also uses 3.2kw/h at peak load, so it's very much a luxury that should not be used every day, but almost always is.
Frugality is not my strong suit.
On an entirely unrelated note, I really, really need a new PC now. This one is huffing and puffing and often refuses to boot. It's being a real pain in the derriere which wouldn't matter if I were a millionaire, but I'm not, so it is.
Hey, when I sell those 100 books though...

Mega Oh-No!
So I've had this PC for more than 5 years at this point. I bought an all singing all dancing computer for games because A: I like playing games and B: Half-assing a computer build means spending the remaining life of the PC upgrading here, changing there, and generally dicking around with it. Something I wanted to avoid like the plague.
I have changed the motherboard once (the old one had dodgy hdd controllers, a flaw in the design that I was too slow to reclaim through the manufacturer), but that's the only modification I've made. This PC has done me pretty well, all things considered. I can't remember exactly how much I paid for it, way back when I was living in korea, but with the screen, speakers, mouse and keyboard, it was probably a little over 1,000 USD (stuff is a lot cheaper in korea, probably on account of half the stuff being made there or in Taiwan which is basically just up the road).
For the first time since I bought this PC, I came across a game that I can't play. The new Doom game (yes they are still making them) won't run on this PC. It'll boot to the menu, load into a game, but I can't do anything, it's too slow. Too few frames.
So this year I'm going to buy a new PC. There's no point 'upgrading,' the parts, because everything will have to go (it also makes it easier for compatibility purposes to do it this way). I will keep the peripherals like the mouse and keyboard, screen and whatnot, but I'm thinking of getting a new case, and I'll definitely get a new power supply (this one has fits every now and again).
So, having said that, I'm torn. I don't have nearly as much money as I did when I was in Korea, but once this thing is built, I want it to last another five years.
I managed to get in at the perfect time with this PC, because the old consoles held PC games back in the sense that there was almost zero software innovation, games in 2008 looked pretty much the same as they did in 2013, and until recently, this computer played games incredibly well. Now, looking forwards, VR is going to completely change that. The requirements for games in VR are astronomical, and for the first time in more than a decade there's going to be an arms race with regards to graphics hardware, which leaves the consumer back in the old annual or biannual upgrade grind. This isn't set in stone of course, it's just my prediction, but Sony have recently announced that they're going to release a new PS4, one with upgraded innards - essentially a playstation 4.5.
That may not sound newsworthy to people who buy a new phone every year (which is the way of the world now, unfortunately), but to games people, it's enormous news. It's the biggest news in gaming since the introduction of consoles.
Aside from being incredibly anti-consumer (in the footsteps of apple) it's a tacit admission that they can't afford to take a hit up-front on tech, and the recoup via other means. In fact, inside sources have indicated that they broke even on every console sold from the get-go. This is unheard of, every other console in recent memory has been a loss-leader, the companies making money up on software and more recently internet services.
What does this lengthy diversion have to do with me buying a new PC? Well, firstly, it's the basis for my theory regarding the future of PC hardware. CPU's will continue trudging along as they have done for decades. Memory will, bar natural disaster, be cheap enough that you simply buy as much and as fast as is available, the overall percentage of your budget devoted to RAM will always be negligible even if you opt for top-of-the-line stuff. Hard disks have stalled in a major way, and SSD's are still too unreliable for my needs (frankly, I find it worrying that so few resources online mention that they aren't reliable enough for use beyond a couple of years) so I'm going to buy a 4tb drive and just be done with it.
PSU's are slightly more efficient now than they were 5 years ago, but not the the point of being noteworthy.
So, as it always does, it comes down to graphics cards. 4K and VR are the new frontiers and the next wave of cards coming out around September won't be enough to see me through for another 3 years, let alone 5. So do I buy a mid-range card, live with it for a couple of years, then upgrade when they've figured out the new architectures, or do I just go big now and live with it?
I still need to save up the money, which is going to take a long time, so at least I have the luxury of being able to wait and see how the early stakes pan out.

Phew
So I've officially finished my contract for this year. There's a long layoff until the next one starts so I'm sitting on my hands somewhat.
I would like to say that doesn't mean I'm being lazy, but it probably means exactly that.
I've applied to various jobs, although I doubt they'll get back to me (not pessimism, just raw experience) so I've been hitting the gym and awful lot. I'm going to make a timelapse video of a gym session because I'd be interested to see how much time I actually spend working versus time spent admiring myself in the mirror. I fear the results won't be particularly satisfying. I'm also interested in the various ways of doing timelapse. The primary method for photographers is to purchase an off camera trigger that will time shots, the downtime, number taken etc. Of course I don't have one of those, so what I might try doing instead is taking a video, then editing out large numbers of frames, leaving single frames in at set intervals. It comes with a couple of caveats. Firstly, I don't know if my battery will last that long shooting long videos. Secondly, the camera only supports up to 30 minutes clips. Today I spent close to 4 hours in there, so I don't know if I can trigger the camera without moving it about and ruining continuity. Lastly, I don't know if the card will hold all the video. I guess we can try it out at least.
In other news, I've put up some damned stupid videos of me and my friends playing games on youtube. The idea is to learn the adobe suite of programs (just get a basic knowledge really). Did you know that after effects can analyse a scene, determine the 3D properties of the scene, and then let you edit the footage as if it were in 3 dimensions ala 3dsmax or autocad. I'm just going to let that sink in for a second.
It's not flawless, but when it works it's absolutely mind blowing. The latest video I uploaded has exactly one effect added from after effects. The scene lasts about 25 seconds, 10 of which have this effect added (just 3D text pinned to a wall to make it look like part of the scenery, not very well). It took 2 hours for AE to figure out the properties of the scene and another 2 for it to render, but goddamned that is amazing technology.
In the past, gaming was the route to greater technological innovation - pushing polygons onto a screen was extremely hard work. Then consoles kind of ruined everything by standardising to the lowest common denominator and now every game has a pixel budget determined by consoles - meaning any old PC can play games at a respectable quality.
I think it's editing software of this ilk, that will one day make it to the youtubes of the world, that will once again force technology forward (in the computer realm anyway).
Anyway, I can barely type because my arms and shoulders are full of lead or iron or something heavy, so this is me SIGNING OFF.
Bye.

Panic Stations!
So I just had a powercut.
Nothing particularly remarkable about that, especially considering this wasn't a weather based cut, but one from ghostly apparitions flicking the switch on my fuse box.
It turns out that running my microwave, PC and a heater is too much.
Previously, I found out that running my PC, air conditioner and hoover were too much - but I digress.
I groped my way to the box, flicking the switch with some effort. Everything turned back on except the PC, so I went to press life into it. Alas, nothing happened.
Panic set in, and I whipped out the PSU. About fifty presses later and nothing was happening. I gave up, put it on the side (still fully attached) and with a last gasp, I pressed the power button. To my surprise it worked. I let it get past BIOS (to ensure the mobo, cpu and mem were fine) then turned it off again. I loaded the PSU back into the case and turned it back on. Everything fine. I then screwed it into the case, turned on the computer and sat back; to a blank screen.
Oh.
I threw logic out of the window and surmised that the screws must have shorted. I took it out of the PC and nothing happened.I repeated the same process as before to no avail.
I was about to crack open the myriad christmas presents I have on the floor (to entertain me during this long, bleak afternoon) when it fired up. Now I'm sitting here completely perplexed.
I was previously running the heater and PC on the same bar, so I've split them up, I don't know if that will stop this from recurring, but it makes me feel better inside.
I wonder whether it's an overheating issue? If the heater and PC are fighting for leccy on the same bar, does that cause it to 'work harder,' (obviously it's an inanimate object, so it doesn't 'try,' to do anything) to get the juice it needs?
Combined (at full juice) my heater and PC need 1500 watts (plus 2 screens and speakers), which seems like quite a lot to me.
Thoughts are very much welcome as to why it wouldn't load up, and ways of avoiding this issue in the future.
I checked the program I was running at the time, no corrupt files, bonus!
I'm going out for a half hour run now, of course I'll turn the computer off in case it goes all arsonist on me.
The PSU doesn't smell funny either, which suggests to me that it's not overheating. I don't know.

Hey There, Big Spender
SO I've been talking about purchasing a new PC for a while, holding off until I returned to England, or moved elsewhere. The reason for the delay was my ineptitude in product searching and internet usage.
Everyone told me to look in Korea, because surely everything would be cheaper there. I did look, and I honestly came up short. Everything I found (cameras, PC parts, even power supplies and heavy duty converters) turned out to be an almost perfect match in price to the UK counterparts.
Then, yesterday, Amanda showed me a website. My eyes were opened to the possibilities of cheap Korean goods. I feverishly gad about the internet looking for the cheapest components I could source, comparing them to their UK brethren. I sourced a similar PC to the one I submitted on my blog a few months ago and, to my amazement, found it to be no less than six hundred pounds cheaper here than in England.
I went about sourcing modern components, and have found an £1800 PC for, wait for this to blow your goddamned minds, £1,100. Everything is top spec bar one omission, an SSD.
Let me explain this omission:
I have witnessed the performance increase, and usability increase obtained through utilising an SSD. The whole computer becomes more responsive, and, frankly, more pleasant to use. In picking top notch parts however, I have also opted for a motherboard that has a 6gb/s hard disk interface, and USB 3. No current SSD's can saturate a 6gb/s line, or even fill up half the bandwidth.
I've read a number of reviews regarding the new sandforce controller, and the new Vertex 3 SSD, which is a native 6gb/s part. This will enter the enterprise sector shortly, if it hasn't already; and desktop parts will become available in the next few months. Therefore, I will buy a 2TB drive, use it as my main for now, and swap it into pure storage when I get the new SSD. Of course, this also has the added benefit of me being able to build up my reserves of cash once more. While not a full months pay, this computer isn't far off, and I need a substantial amount to relocate for my next job, wherever that may take me.
Another fact that blew my mind, was that it's cheaper to source parts from a brick and mortar shop, than on the internet. I know my track record with internet surveillance isn't particularly strong (see above), but I searched for a number of hours last night, finding the best prices I could. I marched into the shop, with the thought of saying 'beat this, if you dare,' and the clerk simply smiled, phoned up some people (back of a lorry, anyone?) and came back with universally cheaper prices. I couldn't source the RAM from him (he insisted it doesn't exist, we shall see) but this is included in my budget anyway.
On a side-note, I gave him a 500,000 won deposit for him to acquire the parts by tomorrow at 5pm. What are the odds of him never turning up, and my 500,000 won going walkies? I think they're pretty high, actually. Somewhere in the region of 25%.
At least I didn't give him the full amount, eh.
Specs and pictures incoming, when the final thing is built.
On a side-note: This picture made me laugh.

Withdrawal Symptoms
So I've just realised that I've gone a month and a half without playing any computer games.
Not being able to play them is really frustrating, because a back-catalogue of stuff I really want to play is building up, and the longer I spend without the means to play these games, the more I'm going to miss. Console games are okay, because you can pick them up whenever and wherever, but PC games are harder to play, especially online, past their selling date because fewer people play them, and no one stocks them for long. PC gaming is in decline for sure, and aside from league of legends, around four games have come out that I can no longer find legitimate outlets for (and the illegitimate outlets won't serve them forever) and I'm gutted! I've only just realised this because I haven't had time to sit down and do nothing lately. What with my diseases and illnesses, I've realised that I need to get a computer (which I knew I needed anyway, in the long term) quite quickly, just for my own peace of mind, and for something to do in the interminable nights when I'm not going to the gym, or playing american football, or playing basketball... Oh wait - I don't have any time when I'm not doing something.
Anyway... I need a computer.
In other news, my cold/man flu is getting better, and I feel that tomorrow will herald the end of it. Luckily the gym is closed tomorrow, so I can't do what I normally would, and thrash out the kinks in the gym - and make myself ill the very next day.
An extra day of doing not a lot squared.
Woop.
If I'm not completely cured by Monday I will give up and let the viruses win.
In entirely unrelated news; a friend of mine came up with an acronym for his workplace which is pretty cool (he's a game developer): JSTS - Just Ship That Shit - the wikipedia page will define it as meaning, 'to rush unpolished and underdeveloped software for the purpose of making money.' Contributions welcome.
