That is one reason why I love my iPad. Not much crap to start with and you can probably delete what you do not need. The fear of bricking it stops me from jailbreaking, but then I am happy with what options are available to me.

'Ninja Turtles' to film at ?

Something to do with a crash landing maybe? Bloody strange place for a Turtles shoot

How much I dislike the new rig I'm on. I've only been on shift here eight hours.
To be fail the rig itself isn't terrible, it's just small, which limits it operationally.
Also, the laptops we have are unusable. It took me an hour to do a five minute job earlier. Purely because I hate to wait 2-3 minutes for it to resond when I clicked on something.
Plus they seem to have some weird random bugs in the lestest version of our software.

You would have thought that they would have decent laptops, when everything else costs so much. It would be very cost effective.

Internal politics at Halliburton there. All us engineers have been ranting for the last two years about it.
Halliburton Baroid 'rent them' from Halliburton IT. I don't know the details exactly. But most are 6-7 years old.
We're partly limited by the fact we have to run the software on XP 32 bit as that's what all Halliburton PC's use. The new sofware really needs much more RAM than a 32 bit OS can offer, even if we did get higher spec laptops.

That sounds like a overcharging scam. They rent crappy hardware for an astronomical sum to offshore profits into some location. The IT company is probably in a tax haven or its own rental is. This way they can ship profits to lower tax countries or put funds into a pot for something else.

There is some science fiction thing going on in Whistable in June. This would give me a chance to catch up with a friend from school again, which would be good.

Sadly, it clashes with my mum’s 70th Birthday, so that has to have priority.

I’m sure we can find another excuse for a meetup, but this would have been ideal.

That I rather like what they've done with Kotaku from what I've seen so far

Two more days in the office including today then I won't be back until next Thursday

Boredom's killing me... I'm in work

"Good camera Alex. Love it!"

Yeah, because I didn't spend ages trying to get the shot right, juggling with the camera's minimum focal distance and movement to get the picture just right, did I?
No, the f'ing camera magically did it all....

Anyone familiar with the Mourne mountains that's willing to be my guide at the weekend?
No? Thought not. (8+(

No, but take every flask and coat you own

Not sure I want my first trip there to be on my own with the current conditions.
Still, we'll see what we see. *shrug*
