Being the Bad guy

With only a few days left before FarCry 5 is unleashed, it’s time to pause and ponder on the merit of being the Bad Guy.  I’ve deliberately not focussed on the FarCry 5 story as not to spoil the first time experience but the image of a Black preacher with a Bible in one hand and a grenade in the other is classic inner conflict that promises excellent gameplay and storyline.

I’m not sure if this is a playable character but if so I’ll jump into this role from Day One.

3 Funerals and a Christening

My normal rigid emotional state has been stretched over the past 10 days supporting Loved ones and friends.  I wasn’t at full readiness but was able to be there when needed.  All down to my single-minded goal focus.

Talents and Perks used in real life

Living simple, clear out unnecessary material things, filter communication, eliminate social media chatter.

Outcome

Of course, this creates new social links whether you like it or not.


With only 6 days remaining, I’m total ready for FarCry 5.  With US server downloads ready on Sunday, I can see it may well take 1-2 dayst to complete the download.

Time Gentlemen Please

Bone of contention

I Love my “Yard” Food and as a Jamaican, in Austria, it’s a culinary treat I seek out when roaming London.

Restaurateurs face a tough battle with overheads and workload, Yah-So Caribbean restaurant opened last year in Thornton Heath, South London with Central London prices but promises to deliver the authentic flavours our families bought to the UK in the 1960’s.

The lunchtime experience was disappointing.  The advertised hours of 12noon to 12midnight is clearly overly ambitious as we faced a locked door at 13:30.  Strike One; then our lunchtime takeout order took over 60 mins to arrive and when we got home it wasn’t complete.

I ain’t mad just a bit disappointment, the food was certainly delicious and we made a group booking for friends and family.

Another major business error, you can only do online booking through a 3rd party as the website was not “live” at this time.

Let’s hope the evening experience is better.

It’s pretty hard to convince an individual to invest any time into a Personal IT disaster recovery plan.  Even if they have experienced some IT loss, folk simply think their gadgets will continue working forever,

A visit to an Apple genius bar will see a constant flow of disparate anxious end-users who are there because of some kind of IT failure.  As an engineer, it’s great solving problems and putting out fires but most incidents can be easily avoided.

Did you backup today?

Today is a Good Day

After a horrendous weekend of technical problems, I started my Monday with a simple written statement that I deeply wanted.

Six hours later I found the technical sweet spot for a complete solution.  Now the paradox question to myself is “What if, I didn’t write my affirmation statement in the morning?”  Tangible success is a great thing and I should continue aiming higher.

What do you want for me?

What do I want for myself?

What is stopping me?
