It’s been a difficult set of night shifts. While in many respects a really nice set of shifts (with the exception of the first day which was unutterably unpleasant); there’s been a bit too much death in the air. And I got to do that thing where I stand somewhere out on the outer rim of the universe and look back trying to work out where, exactly, my comfort zone is in all that mass of stars and planets.
It was, suffice to say, somewhat scary. It’s meant that I’ve learned loads though; even if the experience wasn’t terribly positive. Thankfully, no one I was looking after was included in the roll call of the grim reaper; but those that were affected us all.
So, enough of that; I’ve come home and thanks to the unutterably awesome Viva owner’s club, Brick will be getting a new engine. It appears that the rings (?) have failed on one cylinder (at any rate it’s burning a hideous amount of oil); so I’m hoping that the garage’ll do a headswap (which means I need to order the head gasket). Thanks to my garage, the engine will be fitted too.
The G5 has progressed. I’ve unpacked it and made it not work.
I think I need to sort out a proper Tiger or Leopard install DVD. Or CD. I’m not sure if it’ll install off the DVD ‘cos it’s not a ‘real’ superdrive (It’s a TEAC one).
Anyway, I think I’m gonna clear up my mess and have a brief kip on the sofa.
