Having just had a call on the crewphone (like a batphone only more psychedelic) from Korruptor who said that he had also got his dates fucked, so had gyratory . Then I speak to the ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
stinkygoat who says in fact that next weekend would prolly be better for him too as he has some stuff to do on VLM and the extra weekend would help…
Coincidence my arse!
Well here’s a thing then…
I’m sat here at Yak’s PC, writing in my blog at 3am. He’s just gone to bed, I’m still up noodling around which in not at all unusual when I am visiting as I tend to be largely nocturnal.
What is spooky is that not 10 minutes ago when Jeff was off to bed he was apologising as the power was off, and has been since 9pm last night. Hence, no tech and he felt bad as there was little I could do to amuse myself (!). Literally 5 minutes after he went to bed and I had had a mooch about for the latest New Scientist to read by candlelight when ‘ping’ as if by magic, there’s the power…
Woohoo..
Now this wasn’t the first spooky occurance of the day…
First off, I was due to come down yesterday, but was concious of the fact that Jeff had work to do and was chasing an annoying bug in his code. Circumstances at home meant I put of coming down until today when I was planning to arrive mid-afternoon.
Lunchtime arrives and with it a monster of a storm, not seen wind like it for ages and clearly this wasnt the time to be driving any distance so I figured I’d leave mid-afternoon. Waiting around ar home twiddling my thumbs I get a phone call from a mate who I have been desperately trying to get hold of all week. He’s just got my message and is home if I want to pop round.. so I did 
Anyway, I get home about 3 and figure I’ll get away soon so I speak to Yak who is still deep in the code but looking forward to me coming down. He’s had some shit to deal with this last week and I really want to go down to see him but I am well aware of the pressure on him to fix his bug so I suggest that I wait a couple more hours then head down later…
I finally left home about 5, having been very pleased with myself for having a good productive afternoon finishing my BTU, got to Jeffs about 7:15. I find a suprisingly happy Yakkie.
He’s just found his bug
This seems to happen a lot when I come down..
We sit around a look at some of eth new stuff he’s working on, generally catching up and mooching about until about 9 when we figire we should go down the pub for something to eat. Bit odd when we get to the pub as all the lightw are out and we figure there is a power cut. When we get inside, Eaine tells us it has literally just gone off, probably in the time it took us to drive to the pub…
We stayed for an hour or so, but Jeff was feeling a bit low so I suggested we go back home where we could at least sit and chat util the power came back on. So sit and chat we did, about some pretty important stuff until the conversation naturally ran its course. Jeff was tired and ready for bed, I was happy to mooch about for a bit and read a magazine by candlelight….
The timing of everything was spooky beyond belief… we had exactly the time we needed to chat, with no distractions and the moment we had done so, normality was restored.
I love this shit..
