Further misadventures in lazy development

So, in my quest for ever-lazier methods of development, I tried a couple things: 1. Mixed up a batch of C-41 chemistry with water that was "generically hot" rather than at any particular temperature. 2. Stand-developed in that freshly-mixed chemistry for 45 minutes, as I would at room temperature. It didn't turn out too well, as you see. I am unsure if this is because it of how it was mixed or how it was developed. When I get a chance I'll run another roll through the same chemistry at room temperature to see if the mixing was at fault. UPDATE: I ran another roll through the same chemistry with the same timing at room temperature, and it was fine. So it seems to be okay to mix the chemistry at an imprecise temperature, but 45-minute stand development wants to be at room temperature rather than with hot chemistry.
