I should really throw more stuff away. I just, finally, threw away *some* of the receipts for the parts of Bursar, when Bursar was Nightstar and a Winmodem was the height of my 56k-iness.
Of course, I’ve still got the receipts for the bits which are still in my PC….not throwing them away.

There’s a problem here, which is that I’m bloody awful at titling things. I mean, the name of this site came from remarks made by lots of people over several years – prior to that it wasn’t exactly wildly imaginative. Anyway.
That wasn’t what I was intending to ramble about – because, well, it just wasn’t okay :-)
Sorry, I’m not really awake – I know it’s 17:34 and I really <i>should</i> be awake by now – only I ended up sleeping through, well 3-5pm-ish, just because I was so tired. I dunno why really – I got around 6-7 hours of sleep last night – although it was a bit interrupted and I had had something to drink – celebrations and all that.
Unfortunately I woke up this morning with a hang over – after drinking….wait for it, wait for it…an *entire*, yes, that’s one *whole* *glass* of white wine and 2 sidekicks. I dunno what’s up with that. It’s ridiculous.
Christ, I used to not-wake-up-with-a-hangover after vastly more than that drinks wise. One glass of wine a day is meant to be *healthy* ffs.
Hrumph.
Anyway, so, I’m slowly starting to wake up….</p><p align=”JUSTIFY”> [<a href=”https://web.archive.org/web/20020831052526/http://bursar.linuxgrrls.org/archives/00000013.shtml”>more</a>]

Yes, yes, I gave in. We went to a computer show and I now have a shiny new Hansol 710P monitor. Mmmm.</p><p align=”JUSTIFY”>
I know I shouldn’t have, and I’m really far to broke to go buying these things but the little 15″ monitor was beginning to get on my nerves. Now we have a decent refresh rate and a decent size screen – which is nice. So.
Yes.
And I don’t feel terribly guilty.
It’s got that “nice new equipment” smell to it.
Okay, so I do feel horribly guilty – but once again my machine is actually back up to “nice”. For a 300 quid, 3 year old PC it’s not doing to badly. Okay, so it’s not the quickest thing off the mark – a 400MHz K6-2 – but it’s certainly fast enough for what I use it for (serving webpages, e-mail, webbrowsing, music playing). It’ll even *almost* do software DVD playing – it’ll almost do it under windows (if I reinstalled it), and it’ll almost do it under Linux :-)
Of course, I’ve just realised this means my computers page is out of date again. Never mind.
Yes.
Anyway, tomorrow is my bike test – and as you might have guessed I’m horribly nervous about it. I keep reminding myself that Carol felt I was good enough to pass when I stopped riding on Friday – so I should be able to get up to scratch on Monday without too much trouble.
I’m still terrified.
Gah.
I hate exams.
I hate <i>all</i> exams. I’m actually feeling that stressy-sick that I tend to feel – which has been washing over me now and then since I booked the test (you know, think about test, wave of nausea). I’m also feeling fairly hormonal – you know that “doesn’t play well with others” bit of the month – which is not <i>really</i> the optimum state to be in for a test. One of my main problems with the bike test is I make one mistake and then I get stressed by that – and ride along berating myself for my mistake which means I’m not concentrating as hard as I should be and then I make another mistake.
Grrr.
I’m very carefully trying to *not* let that happen this time. There was a time, while we were practicing where I was going round and round and round this one block, and I kept *repeatedly* fucking up this one junction – and I was getting more and more pissed off with myself – culminating in me starting to curse myself – which until I managed to just forget about it and concentrate on <i>not</i> making the mistake (which is related to 7 years of driving a car…) I kept making.
Anyway.
And now I can say, I can see why the 4 stroke bikes are better test bikes – but I wouldn’t *ever* want to have to use a 4 stroke 125 as my only bike.
Well, I’d consider the MZ RT125, but apart from that.
Anyway. Convincing myself that I will pass seems like a good idea.
I need to go and get some peat-substitute for the garden. We have several million plants which need planting. Yes, I really *am* doing gardening, and you’ll soon be able to relive the highs and lows of my gardening experience when I get some photos developed ;-)
Anyway. That’s it.

The virus that have infected you will be show here along with thier cures, if known.
Viruses you suffer from:
<b>TotL</b>: Go read <a href=”https://web.archive.org/web/20020831052526/http://www.brunching.com/”>Brunching</a>
<b>Linux</b>: Install the latest version of Microsoft Windows. Learn to love it.
<b>Junkfood</b>: Eat some real food. Something which you can identify the source of every ingredient, not the point of manufacture.
<b>BBCB</b>: CTRL-Break, and get a real computer.
Repeat: “Mode 7 was not a good thing.”
<b>8-Bit</b>: Polygons, all the polygons you can get are not enough.
<b>British</b>: No need for cure. Benign virus.
<b>Discordia</b>: Buy a suit. Invest your money. Eat hotdog buns on a friday.
<b>Windows</b>: Try MacOS X. It’s based on UNIX, it has a smoother UI than Windows and it doesn’t suck. As an extra feature the boxes look nice.
<b>vi</b>: Escape Meta Alt Control Shift.
<b>Free BSD</b>: The GPL isn’t that bad really. Adopt a penguin at the zoo.
<b>Politics</b>: Stop caring!
<b>Computer Games</b>: Stop staring at the screen and get some fresh air. You should see a doctor about the RSI in your thumbs.
<b>Conspiracy Theory</b>: Face it, the elected government is in control. Actually that’s quite scary.
<b>Environmentalism</b>: Consume more stuff! It’s easier to buy new stuff than to recycle.
<b>Macintosh</b>: Use a mouse with more than one button.
<b><i>Viruses you might suffer from:</i></b>
<b>USA (70%)</b>: Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves! [repeat]
<b>Amiga (80%)</b>: Gnome is better than workbench. BEOS is better than Amiga OS. The TV Modulator was a pain in the arse and an EXTERNAL power pack? I ask you. And it didn’t have a built in MIDI port like some of its rivals.
<b>Religion (60%)</b>: Read “God’s Debris” by Scott Adams (yes, the Dilbert guy)
<b>UNIX (80%)</b>: Anything this old must be obselete. Go and install a nice modern operating system. I hear MSDOS has come a long way lately.
<b>Sci-fi (60%)</b>: Stop wearing the stick-on ears.
<b>Brand Names (90%)</b>: Having a well-known name doesn’t make it good.
<b>X11 (60%)</b>: I hear Mac OS 10 Aqua is nice at this time of year.
<b>Hippyism (93%)</b>: Free love is passe and potentially dangerous, and patchouli smells like cat piss.
So there you go. I feel much better for that. Anyway, I’m off out to the garden centre :-)

I’ve done an incredible amount of walking today – so much that I can’t actually be bothered to fix the configuration problem with the comment posting stuff. Just want to sleep. Considering bath and bed right now.
I’m also feeling significantly more broke. 300 quid on a service, a new distributor and 2 new tyres. I don’t know why they did the 6k mile service instead of the 3k mile service, probably sensible given the car’s just been on the road after 7 years off, but still.
And I just had a look at my bank account. Boy am I screwed (this is not a joke by the way). I *have* to get some work *now*. Only there’s a problem with that – I don’t have a job. I’ve not heard anything from this agency – which is annoying. I guess it’s literally go out and do something shitty.
I was hoping to go out and do courier work after my bike test, indeed that may be what I do – but if I fail then it’ll be courier work in a van. Woohoo. ‘cos I’m not doing supermarket checkout/shop work. And it seems that office work is a little thin on the ground.
I really shouldn’t have bought the magazine today. I shouldn’t have bought *anything* today.
Crap, crap, crap. I really didn’t expect it to be so much.
My mum even commented on my ‘run of bad luck’ today – Monitor dead, car damaged, car broke down, no jobs…..*sigh*. I think I might just go and flake out. Skip bath, go straight to bed.
I know I’m tired and that’s making things seem worse than they are. Incidentally, I’ve reinstalled licq – but I’ve got a new UIN. So if you want it, give me a shout….

Well, this is just a rambly entry ‘cos I’m bored, slightly drunk and tired….
I’m also amazed – it seems like everyone actually <i>likes</i> the new look. I’ve not yet had a bad comment about it, well, one person doesn’t like the lessthan/greater than signs around the links, but, well, I do – so that’s tough. :-)
It must be said that I’m all in favour of this new diary entry system – much less hastle for me – although today I found out why so many people have <i>livejournals</i> – even people with their own websites (with diarys on their websites). It’s ‘cos people who have livejournals with “private” sections can’t – it would appear – just make random people “friends” (one would have assumed some sort of login/password thing would allow that – but that, obviously, wouldn’t make them money).
Which is irritating, because there’s (at least) one person who has said “if you’ve got a lj I’ll make you a ‘friend’ so you can see the ‘private’ entries”. So I’m left in the irritating position of one who wants to see this stuff but would have to get a live journal to do it. *grrr*
Tired…
With some assistance we won, although it turns out that our printer has a number of faults, so I’ll be RMAing it’s arse tomorrow – although I’m considering visiting the parental units tomorrow.
It seems that my bodies tendancy to awake at 8:something regardless of how much sleep I’ve had has caught me out today. Although I can often doze back off after that it’s never as effective as actually sleeping properly. *mutter*. Dune’s on Sci-Fi right now – normally I’d quite fancy watching Dune, but I really wasn’t in the mood yesterday and thus don’t really feel like watching it today. Also this big wave of tiredness has overcome me. I think spending a day ranting at printers has really taken it out of me more than I’d expect it to. Still, got the order shipped on time, thanks to Lauren.

I just noticed there’s a bunch of infighting going on on one of the Acorn news site…on a show report?! It’s just insane – I wonder if the reviewer commented on not seeing any of the new hardware at the show….
Not that I’m saying it doesn’t exist. I believe that the prototype Omega exists….I wonder if they’ve called it that to confused people who’ve heard of Amiga…. ;-)
I had that urge again. I want a school reunion. I want to show them that I’m not a complete fuckup. I have visions of pulling up in the Morris Minor – they should all recognise that – in my purple dress (of which there is not yet a photo), with (any one of) my partner(s)…well, that’s as far as I’ve got. But that’s the kind o thing…Anyway…I’m off to IRC for a bit

So, in the last few days let’s see what’s gone wrong:
<ul>
<li>My car broke down.</li>
<li>My car was hit by someone <i>while it was parked</i> who didn’t leave a name/contact address.</li>
<li>As a follow up from that, my car needs a new bumper and a new rear wing</li>
<li>I’ve just spent an entire morning battling with an O’Dixion CD printer which refuses to print in the same place on the CD every time (it’s just printing in random places) and a Mac which kernel panics and refuses to restart.</li>
<li>My 17″ monitor has died, leaving me stuck with a good, but not as nice 15″ monitor</li>
</ul>
Would anything <i>else</i> like to go wrong?
One good thing did happen today though, I got an e-mail from James, which made me smile….

So, I’ve been tweaking this website on and off for a few weeks now, and it’s coming up to launch date. I’ve got through the first few directories of things – and so far as far as I know only <a href=”https://web.archive.org/web/20020831052526/http://fuzzle.org/”>Peter</a> and <a href=”https://web.archive.org/web/20020831052526/http://amy.shacknet.nu/”>Amy</a> have seen it. Amy’s helped me tweak it a bit – so it should be at least reasonably lovely.
Of course, with me doing this there’ll be no new diary entries on the old <a href=”/web/20020831052526/http://bursar.linuxgrrls.org/inmybrain/index.shtml”>in my brain</a> section – which should confuse people. But anyway.
I was going to rant, but I’ll save it for later….
