It was a reasonably nice Friday at Koc. Nothing all that busy, but at least for most of the night large parts of the bar proper had people at them. The DJ was Dennis, who'd been there a few weeks back. Not too bad at all.
Of course I was off in a booth with the laptop, in this case applying the changes written down earlier to the bar website.
That sorta took all night. Not that updating the website is all that incredibly difficult. But it involved including an image of the flier that Lokesh had provided me, which was HUGE (952 pixels wide), but included some address text in the corner that was teeny-tiny. Which meant just shrinking the image would make the text illegible. This, of course, was a challenge.
A lesser man would have just requested a smaller image from the source. The true geek, however, downloads and installs GREYCstoration, creates a mask of the old text, uses the -inpaint option to restore the background, then recreates the text.

From there we migrated to Hunter's, where we were joined eventually by Lisa and a large fraction of the cast. Amusingly, Robin, of the cast, recognized me from a suicide Monday (and I started to realize that yes, she did look familiar), and Ron, the
We ended up hanging out in the patio, where it was possible (barely) to speak for an hour or two, when I decided (around 12:30am) that I was hungry, said my goodbyes, figured out where I'd parked my car, and flitted over to the Mini for some good, cheap, greasy spoon food.
Then home, and some remarkably early sleep, which I'm sure will resume shortly.
