Bored

[speling bee]

With a switchblade pressed to your throat.

I usually pay extra for that.

[Cliphead]

In a melancholy mood, into the cigs and wine. Feel like I'm in a Tom Waits song.

A picture sings a thousand words
As I look out on an Autumn night
At least you're a nice person.
With a switchblade pressed to your throat.
I usually pay extra for that.


Catchy so far

I usually pay extra for that.

But tonight the love is free.

I don't know if it'll cheer you up or not, but this may help with the boredom: I was talking to a company this week that's involved in mobile mapping solutions, a bit like Google Street View. They have a particular customer of theirs that uses their technology to guide their power line inspections, which they carry out via helicopter. (They have special cameras on board that can detect cracked insulators and 'corona' discharge points that create that characteristic "hissing" sound that you sometimes get near power lines). The power line inspection company uses the company I was talking to's mapping technology to note the exact location of any faults they find, and schedule repair teams to deal with any problems.

Anyway, I found myself thinking about the mobile aircraft that you posted a thread on recently. I got to thinking about how if they combined the mapping technology and cameras with a quadcopter or similar they could make millions by providing a cheaper inspection service than the full-sized helicopter + pilot + electrical inspection engineer setup that they presently use. I bet with a little ingenuity they could even make the inspections fully-automated, with the quadcopter being guided along the power line route via GPS and any problems being inspected remotely using the pilot's-eye-view goggles setup that you mentioned in your thread. That's my Plan C sorted.

How are you getting on with your new toy anyway?

And now you're not so bored.

Hmm, doesn't quite scan but might work with the right soundtrack.

On an aside I have that particular Plan C all sown up including the programming for the aircraft however the CAA say no so fck em I'm doing it anyway.

But he held a stanley to me naked throat
And I did a massive sh!te

I'm an idiot self abuser.
Yes an idiot self abuser.
But self abuse is just self love,
And the love is free tonight.
