world = killing me

there are roadworks and there were sirens and I am awake and should be doing things and I have hunger which, OK, is fixable, and also the internet keeps crapping out on me. not badly, but enough to be annoying.

and I am stuck on a sudoku. admittedly, I did the first half while drunk, but it seems all right. and I am stuck. and annoyed. and generally hating on the world. grr.

ETA: cracked the little bastard. required writing it out again so I could see it clearly enough to spot the pair, but after that it was plain sailing. but dammit, it's the last one in the magazine-thing, I will have to buy a new one later. sigh.

Why has the world gone loud? I am sure someone has turned up the volume on the traffic. Clearly this is not an isolated phenomenon.

[kbk]

maybe it is due to open windows due to heat?

or maybe there is a volume control that someone sat on.

I just found a number-pair that I missed in the sudoku, and it may let me finish it. *crosses fingers*

My windows are always open unless howling storms are occurring. Therefore it can't be that. Must be the volume control.

Kill that sudoku dead!

[kbk]

Grr. Someone find the mute button!

and I did, go me!

Now some bastard is REVERSING. With a beepy lorry reverse noise.

I am sure going backwards is not that important.

I am glad the sudoku is dead now.

[kbk]

grr. they always sound so full of themselves.

The Times has a good backlog of sudoku, and usually a link to a special issue of billions of the buggers. And I'm certain there's at least one sudoku-generator website. If you search for 'google' you might find some way of getting to it.

there is websudoku.com and such, but I like doing them on paper, like a luddite, and our printer is annoying, so it's easier just to buy some. but I do like the killer ones, so maybe I will steal them from the Times. hmm.

That's fair enough. I used to be so lazy that I'd copy out the killer ones onto paper before solving them, rather than walk 20 feet into my bedroom and print them.
