  • Ra!

    We got the house!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Woo, I rock.

    Well, actually, kinda John, kinda… really.

    John repaired the laser head off the PS/2 and we put it back together; and lo “disk read error” was obtained. Some time later, as I lay upsidedown on the floor with the PS2 boards and oojit, y’know, um, boards that’s it. The boards and drive hanging over the edge of a pile of junk we (John and I) managed to get the laser power approximately correct (go us, go us, go us, go us).

    However, having put it back together it appeared to do a good impression of having died. After he went though, while on the phone to Trey, I stripped down the poor wee bairn, and managed to locate the loose ribbon cable causing the problem. And reassembled… it worked. It plays DVDs, it plays music CDs and it plays *games*. Rez. I got to play Rez! Go me! I rock.

    And in other amusing news: this is the stooopidist set of directions….. Microsoft…. you’ve done it again :-)

  • Oh, ha ha.

    So I was very good at the training day, I spoke to [Sarah] , without prompting. Aren’t I good? I’m slowly getting better at the not-at-work assertiveness; which is cool. I can be very assertive with people I don’t know, and at work, but if I’m ‘trying’ to make friends it all goes a bit odd. So anyway, I’m pleased with myself and currently think I’m fab. (more…)

  • It’s the three things meme!

    So…. (more…)

  • And an mp3

    I decided I quite like recording bits; even if very few people actually listens to them (heh, they don’t know that they missed the car-porn in the last one!)… so uh, here’s a bit more: 20050117.mp3 (1.85 Megs)

    I recommend playing it in something with a graphicsy thing ‘cos speech always looks cool. I’m particularly fond of XMPlay with the Punkie plugin :-)

  • Something for the weekend?

    So, I dunno, when did I last do an entry? Ah, back on the 14th. Well, yes, so I found doing anything useful on the 14th rather hard work; what with Trey coming on the 15th and me bouncing around with the attention span of a flea on acid.

  • I didn’t realise…

    ….that the Battlestar Galactica series had premiered in the UK. I kinda presumed it’d been shown in ‘merkia first. So I guess when they find out that Starbuck’s a Cylon, that’ll really shock them; but not as much as the affair between the president and Starbuck….

    It’s actually one of the few recent sci-fi series I’ve watched with real enthusiasm; perhaps because it is really a story with sci-fi, not the other way round. I mean, when I was 7 StarTrek was cool, but now, now it’s just kinda jaded.

  • My life in parts

    Now, I just read the life-story type thing(s) that my girlfriend Trey posted and thought, hey, I should give that a shot. I should work, really, but I’m gonna do this first.

    Unfortunately I’ve got the worlds worst memory, so this might be a bit vague.

  • Uh, it’s down, I know.

    My hosting provider (ZestHost) are looking into why my site is no longer serving out the main pages… All the files are still accessible, it’s just the shtml isn’t getting shtmld, or something. For reasons that are um, not yet known. What is being returned appears to be a blank document.

    Don’t ask me why.

    Anyway, yeah, I know. They’re looking at it :-)

    Hopefully normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

  • Just a quickie
