A new programmer has just come in to start work today; long hair on a male is nothing out of the ordinary in the computer programming world, but he's wearing a bullet belt too. This could be interesting.
I got a response back from my motherboard manufacturers ASUS, only 3 days slower than they say they will respond. They advised me to "change the PEG link mode to SLOW (or Disabled), set the PEG root control to Disabled". MY MODEL DOESN'T HAVE PEG LINK MODE OR PEG ROOT CONTROL SETTINGS! Why are people so incompetent? I had to spend 20 minutes filling in a support request form, digging through serial numbers and running diagnostic software to get the precise model and version and serial number for my hardware, only for them to send a flippant response relating to some other model of board which they manufacture. AAAARGH.
On Friday was FMR at the Old Angel.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shallowthing was DJing. It was ok. A few people missing compared to normal, a few people extra, average music quality. Nice to see l0stxstar out and about too.
Saturday afternoon saw an Artificial Intelligence revision session withvampiric_monkey, or a Soft Computing session as they call it these days. Luckily I hadn't forgotten entirely all of it so hopefully I was of some use there. I'm a bit frustrated that we couldn't work out how to implement a half-adder circuit with a 2x2 feedforward neural network, but you can't win them all.
In the evening I went to the White Hart atjen_whitewave's behest, encountering spazzhammer, darkwaveart, and rabbleuk among others there too, in addition to vampiric_monkey again who'd obviously managed to sneak in there before me. I was convinced to go to Rock City afterwards, where we sat around being bored for a couple of hours. And that was it.
I was woken up at 4:30am this morning by the sound of crashing and raised voices. It seems Trendy Megadeth-Liking Ginger Girl next door walked out on her boyfriend, doors slamming as she finally left the building at 5:15am, her partner in lukewarm pursuit shortly afterwards. I understand redheads have firey personalities, but can't they have them later in the day?
