Flexy day today, decided to go for a trip out with the walking boots, as it seems to have been a lot of work at home as well as work at work recently. Went down to Rye harbour for a walk around and a look at Camber Castle. Nice and quiet, only passed one other person on the walk, which is good. But it is a long way, and not that spectacular, which is bad. Took a few pictures, not a lot. Seaford to the seven Sisters again next time I think.

Had the dentist on Thursday. Had a false alarm on Wednesday, thinking it was then. Lay in bed thinking about what he was going to do (I was not convinced I needed anything), till I realised I was due in Chelsea that day! Still made it in plenty of time, thank goodness for school holiday traffic. Anyway, our dentist is a speedy chap. 10 minutes for a check-up, 7 minutes for a filling. Turns out there was a fair amount of blackening around an old filling.
Set a date for the update of the School moodle. All went relatively well, lots of prep certainly pays off. Did manage to forget the flexrooms elements that we were using in one course. Seems they have uipdated it anyway, so maybe more exploration needed before it gets written off completely.
The parish web redesign is on a track to be finished by the end of the month - vicars are nothing if not persuasive!! Drupal et al are off the list though and I am favouring the more transparent and ease of phpWebsite from Appalachian. I am sure I have used something else developed by them in the past as well. Wednesday was a bit of a look and see day. Was going to do the carpet shampooing, but Paul is suffering from allergies at the moment, so best not really.
We had a bit of excitement last night. A balloon landed in the field behind us. Spent 45 minutes or so helping them stay in one place.
I seem to be redesigning the parish website at the moment. Not keen on static page revisions, so I am re-looking at CMSs. A lot of names I remember from a long time ago. I actually used one for a while, not sure what became of it though. Anyway, this time I am favouring Drupal or possibly Joomla. Last time I think I used phpWebsite.

Not often I say that, but I received the Kingston HyperX today, returned the Corsair, and it all seems to work!!
Also got the new Samsung drive, did a controller board transplant, and Bob’s your uncle, I have my Cattrax CD & LP database back! Not sure what to do with the empty boardless carcass left over.
Have had the usual problems with putting the new PC together. Boot errors that take ages to track down. Is it the flaky graphics card that does not recognise it’s own drivers, the bizarre temperature readings I seem to be getting, or maybe just the incompatibility of the whole thing. At the moment it seems to be working and it seems quick with Autopano Pro (the whole reason for the upgrade), but there are still niggling things to sort out. I think the thing will not boot with 2 banks of DRAM unless you up the DRAM voltage a bit. Despite having removed and remounted the Ninja Scythe a couple of times, reapplied thermal paste, filed it down to avoid the capacitors that foul the mount slightly, it still seems to be running about 63° at idle. I am not sure this is accurate though, as I cannot feel any heat at the base of the heatsink and I am sure it is well clamped to the CPU now. The mouse is jittering away as well. Had to find a USB mouse, but I think it is faulty. Oh the trials!!
