Monday. 27th. Backdating because ran out of time last weekend after blogging the previous two weeks. Belly still hurting. Managed to get an appointment with the doctor at 14:00. APNIC training online for most of the day. Doctor was like, eh, not sure, probably diverticulitis. Don't have any fibre for a few days. WTF. I can't do that. Especially since we just brought home a fridge full of salad stuff from the club.
Tuesday. APNIC training led training for the middle of the day. It was a bit of a disaster really. I struggled to keep up with the learning part, and the labs were a disaster, because they wanted forty people in two groups to configure twenty routers per group to all talk to each other with not very clear instructions. The online learning and labs were much better structured. Oh well. John parked on our side again. All fricken day. Vodien got back to me about the perl/mysql issue. They looked at it in https and said the problems I was having was because of mixed content (Movable Type hard codes my image urls as http://kazza.id.au/whatever and it's too hard to change it). And I'm like, NO, it's a http site and you're not listening to me. Sigh. Stu reckons I should change blogging platforms, but my blog is such a behemoth nothing would be easy. In other news I found if I sit close enough to my monitor I can see it better with my reading glasses. And my main glasses are losing their coating and look all scratched up, so it's like trying to look through a dirty scratched window. Sigh. Had yoghurt for breakfast and a liquid diet all day. If you google liquid low fibre diet, it's all crap like sugary drinks. Gross. Good luck if you're a diabetic. So milk, oj, solo and some beef bone broth I found, and ended up with furry teeth and need to brush my teeth mid afternoon. Beer for dinner, along with a bit of white rice and kewpie. I went back to the beginning of the trip to try and figure out if other days had been affected by the time randomly changing on my phone. Sure enough, it did. Sigh. My thought (at the time) was that maybe the phone was getting mixed up between ship time and gps time and just changing when it felt like it. I. Hate. Everything.
Wednesday. So it's an epic disaster!! Pialligo Estate has gone broke!! No more streaky bacon!! Disaster!! Completely traumatised trying to get a poop sample for the pathologist. Nearly died. But then forgot the form for the other tests. Sigh. Cleaning day at work. Pizza for dinner because the sweetie wanted it. It's low fibre right? Watched some more of Avatar. Turns out the Hallelujah Mountains are held in the air and float in the magnetic vortices due to the Meissner Effect. There's a whole Avatar wiki page about that crap. It was fun seeing the scene where they were flying around on the Ikran/Banshees because I'd just done that at Disney ;)
Thursday. Took *forever* to get to sleep - stressing about All The Things. Ok day at work. More cleaning and working with Neil on cleaning policies. Leftover pizza for dinner and watched episode 3 of Boba Fett.
Friday. Woke up at 3:30 and never got back to sleep. Sigh. But! THEY FIXED THE PERL/MYSQL PROBLEM!! They never told me what was wrong, or what they did to fix it, or even admit that yes, they HAD in fact broken it. I don't really care because my blog is working again hurray!!!! Figured out that it's actually the time zone changing on my phone photos. Most would be (say) GMT-5, but then others would be GMT-4. If you look at the details of a photo the "top" time would (mostly) be correct. If you drag it up, down the bottom you see the exif time, which would be wrong. If you click Adjust, you can see the time zone, although you can't actually change it. Sigh. Watched You've Got Mail. But just generally cranky and stressed about everything. It's been a thoroughly crap week.
Saturday. Woke up early. Cranky. Stressing about phone photos. There's no easy way in windows to see the time zone of the files in explorer. I do have exif tools that show it, but nothing in a nice list. I should probably script something to pull it all out with exiftool. In the end what I did was do a dir /B, put the results in a spreadsheet, then use a simple formula to check if the numbers are out of order. If the file number of one file is less than the one before it, it's out of order. The first photo of the trip that was out of order was taken on the deck 9 forward deck. Just one photo that day. But more on subsequent days. I have an exif editor that can do batch fixes. So I have to pull out the photos that are wrong, run the tool over them to change their time, then use RenameMaster to fix the file naming. Such a tedious process. But the first few days that I'd previously geotagged had the old Date Taken hard coded in the files somewhere (in the XMP according to irfanview) and it was still using that, so for those ones I had to use Geosetter itself to adjust the times on the incorrect files before I could re geotag them. Sigh. By the time I got back to doing St Thomas on day 10 again (where I'd first discovered the problem and had already made some changes) it was a painstaking process to find the ones out of order, moving them out, fixing them up, and regeotagging. So I spent all morning just fighting with iPhone photos. Hate. Apple is such a POS. House stuff in the afternoon, and had sausages and salad for dinner (first real fibre all week and it was lovely).
Watched Simpsons (finished season 33) and Death In Paradise 4.3 Tried to watch Avatar on our tv, but Disney forced me to upgrade the app, but it wasn't quite at the right place and neither Stu nor me could find how to do any sort of seek other than in ten second increments. Hate. So gave up and watched it on my computer. Not that I watched very much, then had an early night.
Sunday. Woke up at ~4am. Sigh. (5am old time). Had breakfast with the sweetie at U&Co which was nice.
Did a small food shop, then home to slog my way through the todo list. No time for fun. And too stressed about All The Things to feel like starting the next section of the Titanic. But I did start a jigsaw. Even though I don't have time for fun. Roast chicken for dinner.
