After two months, it's impossible to get more fed-up with computers than I am right now when there is still no clear idea what Apple did to Yosemite 10.10.3 to break the iMac. I would have been chopped into little pieces and fed to crows for that in my own career.
Note: I did fire a guy for doing that and it was the worst failure of my life. I don't regard much I've done as failure as everything gives some kind of education but that was a complete fail because it went the only way it could go and it was me who had to do it. That was when I knew you are on the Dark Side, boy. No matter how much time your soul spends on the spin cycle, this won't wash out. It wasn't all that much longer after that I got sick and the whole thing collapsed. That aspect was justice. What Liberty Mutual did (i.e. nothing) was not.
Meanwhile, Apple has announced iOS9 can keep track of your sex life. Inasmuch as what most likely broke Yosemite 10.10.3 was porting iPhone / iPad code up to it, this latest announcement further confirms their direction as a toy company. That, however, is not my direction as I refuse to be festooned with devices to be in constant communication with people I really didn't need to see that much in the first place. That's the most trivial aspect of data processing and they have abandoned, seemingly, the most important parts.
Note: there's minor merit in tracking your sex life as couples will take temperature measurements to determine fertility when they're 'trying to get pregnant.'
But ... when you're fucking for purpose rather than pleasure, you've already lost the game. The stress created by pressure fucking like that makes it less likely wifey will get knocked-up rather than more so. My wife and I went through this and it was an enormous relief to both of us when we abandoned it. Best decision either of us ever made.
If you're that determined, ask the Duggars what they do as that crew packs meat faster than Hormel.
Assuming, Apple does not get it fixed by Friday, the next move is to install OS X Mavericks and list it immediately for sale. Once that starts, things will start pouring out of here as abandoning video will destroy just about everything I have been doing and over twenty years of it at that. A heartbreaker, sure enough, but evolution in action nevertheless. I'm damned if I'll be a victim because of a machine. It absolutely will go out the door if it fails to perform.
As soon as the Mavericks installation is completed, I'll move the iMac somewhere it can be displayed to a possible buyer but it won't be in the way of anything else. That will give me Skype again but I won't be scheduling any live performances because my only concern will be launch preparation.
This is unusual: apparently there are no VA offices in Germany. That's a problem as I need to be able to point to something to say I've got medical insurance or no-one wants you around. The unusual aspect is that Greece had a VA office in Athens, unknown if there were any others.
Seeing VA doesn't matter as all I got out of it is 'yer fucked and nothin' we can do about it.' Well, ok. Thanks for that.
I do carry a VA card so that and a UK passport should get me permission to stay anywhere in the EU (it worked in Greece for almost a year) ... but ... there has to be VA around somewhere for it to be credible. The other option is the UK but there it's too cold, too expensive, too wet, and it crawls with heroin.
By the way, thanks for the warning on that. At least one or two of you here or on Facebook must have known that asshole had a needle in his arm and fuck you if you thought that was why I went up there.
The spiritual quest ended up finding some old burn-out junkie ... but ... that means the spiritual quest is not over as we knew about junkies and setting suns a long time ago and the sun sets on them long before it actually disappears. That search found death so the search for life continues. Only one way to do that: go back (i.e. not to Scotland or at least not Edinburgh).
There is still interest in Loch Ness and not because I care about any monster as I maintain Nessie is a practical joke concocted by the great many Frasers who live around there. The Fraser Clan is strong but I didn't find it. There may yet be another search. They won't be difficult to find as I didn't have transportation out of Edinburgh so no way to get to Loch Ness and I couldn't really look.
