Soooo...I’ve been a bit quiet recently. Busy busy working on work’s top secret thingy as well as bits of freakcity. I’ve spent about a week now writing dotnet which is kinda funny as I don’t know it. Seems straightforward tho so I don’t mind. It’s a welcome change from Orange Babylon 5: The Lost Tales was apparently the 6th most popular “genre” title on Amazon last month. Which is pretty impressive as it’s not yet been released. Went out to the swan last night. Now my head hurts. Sat outside having a naughty fag and listening to all the gays whining about the smoking ban was funny. Especially as they kept telling me “This is a disgrace” etc and I kept disagreeing lovingly with them. Coz I quite like the ban. Mostly because I quite like the outside of pubs but like the inside less and so I’m happy standing outside, smoking or not. Damn I’m selfish. Posted today’s word of the day to thingbox earlier. Had to join and everything. Then had to delete myself and everything. People clearly don’t appreciate the effort I put in. Tried to watch Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein on Wednesday. Tried really hard. Failed. It’s unutterably shit. Fortunately I only spent about £3 on it. Off to Bury tonight to go visit Owen’s sister Cati and make her a website. So I have the heaviest rucksack in the universe with me. Big and bulky. And I have a beard. Maybe I should shoe polish my head and scare people on the tube... building Dom a PC at the moment, a copy of mine, so I bought 2x Opteron 250s on eBay for £31. Bonza! And they fricken work. So he gets my old chips free instead of having to pay £150ish for new ones, which is great. I finally worked out how to get them to frequency scale correctly under Vista64 so they’re amazingly quiet and low powered and stuff. Inadvertently I also discovered a bug in the k8-powernow kernel module in the latest linux kernel which means it scales fine for a bit and then randomly freezes everything in the GUI after a few minutes. Don’t know if it’s an incompatibility between beryl and it or NVIDIA’s scary binary blob and it but will investigate at some point later. Still can’t get sleep to work under Vista. Bah. Dom’s PC is sexy. Brand new coolermaster aluminium wave case looks gorgeous. I may get one for novak sometime. So far I’ve spent about £400 and it’s almost complete, merely needs ram and a PSU, which is very very cool indeed. Play.com have a summer sale on. Which is a bad thing. Bah. I think I need a bigger bookshelf now My head hurts. Oh well, back to workies x
