Well I didn't do much work yesterday. There was a thunderstorm that came through the area and knocked out power to quite a lot of people through lightening strikes. We didn't lose power but our ISP did. As a result the internet connection went down and I couldn't work. It didn't come back until a couple of hours after I normally start work this morning. However nobody at work seems to have even noticed or at least commented on the fact that I was offline for a whole day. They saw no activity from me other than a brief bit in the morning meeting before the internet connection went dead. It is good to know people miss me so much :| .
Being without internet access for a whole day is weird. My wife and I rely on it to keep us connected to various things and without it you feel strangely disconnected. Also there are too many games now that rely on the connection to work, for something that doesn't have to talk to servers being unable to play when there is no connection is a bad thing mkay. Even Borderlands 2, a game that is half around playing with other people cooperatively works with no internet connection.
Anyway, poor game design decisions aside yet more delicious food was made and had yesterday. My wife went on a cooking binge and made two big lasagnas and a huge pot of chilli that portioned out to 11 servings for the pair of us. Having a freezer large enough to store all this is great, makes dinner time much easier on my wife from a cooking point of view. Loads of prepared yummy dinners. We even get home made tartar sauce with the fish and chips tonight (thus avoiding the soybean oil that causes my wife problems). Now my tummy is grumbling....
Looks like the GPS map update is almost downloaded, 3.5 gigs of data that failed to download 5 times so far, this time it is at 96% after crapping out at 60% or so the previous times. I will get my new GPS properly updated....
