The Mind Of OverlordTomala
All in an Overlord's day / Computing / Work

More win 7 prep work plus a stupid story.

One of the things I like about Win 7 is in gaming. Under XP I had an issue with the mic changing from Line 2 Mic 2, to standard microphone when playing any Source game. I just tested TF2 in Win 7 and it stayed on Line 2 mic 2. These PAX drivers are possibly better than the actual X-Fi drivers. I also got all of my adobe products running under 7. Tomorrow when I work on another episode I’ll do a test rendering on both operating systems.

On an unrelated note, apparently one of my dumb assed bosses thought I worked yesterday. He started panicking because I didn’t show up for work yesterday. It took me coming in today reading the schedule and pointing to him that I was marked as “off” to make him realize that I wasn’t “absent”. Everyone else thought he was an idiot, but that’s pretty normal around the store. I don’t think anyone takes him seriously.

Computing

Overlord Victorious!

Did some more experimenting under Win 7. Managed to find out there was somewhat of a fix for getting SourceSDK working under it between a gadget and a dll. Now with this fix I think I can fully move on from XP. That was pretty much the entire reason why I stuck with it up until now. That and I didn’t have much of another reason to go to 7. But with the desire to use adobe premiere pro and after effects with more RAM I think it’s time to move forward. XP has served me well since the last decade. Now that I can have everything that I want in win 7 working perfectly I can rest easy.

Allergic to mold and stupid.

Work felt extremely long today. I think all the old people marinated in perfume and cologne overnight before coming in this morning. All but one woman who is aptly named “cheese butt”. Who happens to smell like rotten cheese. I volunteered to take a product she was looking at (feminine pads/depends) and do a price check for her. She said that would be a good idea because she “isn’t much of a walker”. Well no shit, she’s probably doesn’t care for bathing either. In fact I’d say she probably can’t fit into a tub or a shower stall. Her ass was big enough to be a table.

It didn’t help that my allergies were getting on my nerves today, that and the lack of sleep. Hopefully it won’t be much of an issue tonight. I’m doped up on antihistamine. A shot or two of vodka will numb up my throat too.

Now I have another shot at a 3 day weekend. I think this time I’ll just hang back and focus on recovering from black mold.

Evening Open Thread

Really sunny warm day today! Great way to start my weekend. Although work decided to try calling me in to help with pan ups in their bakery, which I shrugged off. I like how he waited for my first day off to tell me that I was needed instead of telling me before hand, as it is the bakery area is deliberately understaffed.

As it was I already had plans to run errands today. I can cross off sending packages and cleaning the mold off of the window sil. At least I’ll be able to breathe now. I discovered it the other night when I went to close the window, a nice black liquid on my hands. Then saying to myself yeah… That’ll have to go on my next day off. Thanks to the mold I had a difficult time sleeping last night. Another reason why I didn’t go in today. Blood shot eyes and a scratchy throat. Bleh.

Just finished having some nice pizza

Welcome to my mind.

Planning my weekend

Looks like I have a long one this week. From Thursday to Sunday (subject to change) I’ll have to come up with things to do. I already have a list:

Install Win 7 on main system
Tidy the room a bit
Film for upcoming reviews
Work on podcast
Ship some packages to friends
Cook kitchen science experiments
Look forward to company visiting on Saturday
Running to the bank

Yet something feels like it’s missing from this to do list I’ve made for myself. Tonight I worked on some more title cards for upcoming episodes.
