Yep, that figures. I'm reasonably happy in my own space but I've been consulting for near enough 10 years now (WTF?) and I've really come to enjoy the face to face side. I'm not particularly extroverted I don't think, but I do genuinely enjoy going places, meeting people, lunches, dinners etc. I find it's great for building relationships but also just good fun.
 

Yeah, it's all just dragging a LOT now. It certainly doesn't help that a lot of the niceness of WFH isn't here, either. Before lock down my kid had just started school and the wife and I had started doing some nice lunches and stuff which was working for me!

Unlikely I'll be back in the office till schools go back in August. Have sort of offered to go in for a few half days for some training and whatnot, but the pressure is really on us from higher up to get everyone back in the office and making money. They seem to have missed the bit where the rest of our industry is on its arse and also mostly working from home, so whether we're there or not there's not much to be done.

I'm quite a bit sick of lock down - i had a proper breakdown* when they confirmed schools here are shut till August - but I'm also really nervous/anxious about going back in to the office. 


*drank all the booze and spent the thick end of a grand on a drone to play with >.< On the plus side the drone has really made me get off my arse and get out and about more, been out on a few big walks with it that I otherwise wouldn't have, both with family and on my own. Climbing up a hill at sunset on your own is very mind clearing.

Post some footage. I find drones fascinating but also scary as a creative tool, kind of like cgi - overpowering and dehumanizing (because of the alien perspective).*


*IOW, never played with one.

This was first 'proper' flight somewhere nice. 

No idea what I'm doing when it comes to flying, filming, editing or colour grading yet. As you can tell  :-O~~~

That is fucking ace! Well done. (I only watched the first 40-seconds because work, will come back to)

Nice. When are you going to film something that's not in your back garden? :J

Soon, hopefully. We're allowed to travel more than 5 miles as of today. We're off up to the highlands for a week in the middle of nowhere on the 15th, so weather permitting I'm hoping to see some nice things with the drone.

We are doing nothing for the society but creating mess due to tinu personal issues or for increaing our personal wealth. Society could have been much better we have not seen such ugly, cruel and miser kind of people. We all should remain humble for the sake of our future. In this insecure world i would always care about my security even more for living a good secure life and therefore i always use antivirus. I would recommend avg or avast as they are not only enriched with many great security features but they are also cheap compare to many big names.
 

That's your living? 

How are you drawing a salary from that?

Somebody's gotta do it.

It’s an odd one, that’s for sure. 

S/he's definitely got the measure of us.

I ain't no miser.

Do people still use AVG or Avast?

:C

Only on Windows...

If we're gonna go there, I find the one built in to Windows 10 is plenty good enough. I could probably try running Malwarebytes occasionally just in case, I suppose.

Bitdefender for me, backed up by occasionally running Malwarebytes.

Bitdefender for me. The simple delight of never having those pop-up ads and notifications that make so many free AV products almost as annoying as what they're supposed to prevent makes it a no-brainer. Really simple, really works.

Does it work for dodgy porn sites? Asking for a friend.
