Chromecast and Samaritans

I went to the top floor of the car park at my local shopping mall because it was crowded below and noticed there was signs on the wall for the Samaritans, I didn't make a connection in my head until I reached the lift; they put the sign there to try and stop people committing suicide. Samaritans is a phone number you can call for free and get counseling for free here in Britain. The number is 116 123. If you call 116 123 in Britain, you can talk to a stranger about your problems. Being a man isn't easy, I stood in the lift and wanted to shed a tear because I knew there was a problem with people jumping off the top floor of the car park and that is why they put the signs there; I restrained my emotions so no one could see. People think men don't have emotions, this is not true, we just restrain ourselves and hide our feelings. Men harm other men that show their emotions so we all restrain ourselves. 

I thought about my little Chromecast stick with Google TV to cheer me up a bit. I like the way it has Bluetooth built into it, I can connect my bluetooth headphones and generic Bluetooth joy pad and play computer games at 1am if I wanted to. I also like the way it uses CEC to override the TV controls, the HDMI cable can send signals to the TV to increase the volume or turn it off. The Chromecast controller can control the TV through the HDMI cable. The CEC feature needs to be switched on for both devices for it to work though. I won't go on though. 

Just think about a time when I work hard and leave time to play computer games on the phone and TV. A nicely balanced life.
