Month: April 2003

Jesus, I’m getting old.
I just used the phrase “That’s so sweet” and there was no sarcasm involved, I meant it.

shit.

On the other side I just got a little bit of good news which does in fact make me feel a little better…not by much but a little.

And tonight is a drinks night. One of the guys I use to work with way back in Dublin 3 years ago is returning to the fold. So tonight we welcome him back to this shithole.

Then home to get my computer fixed for good with everything back up to date and hopfully working as intended.

– Laptop problems hopefully all solved. Brought it into work, backed stuff up and cleared it. Going to make sure my drivers et al are installed in the right order.
– weather got cold but is looking good again.
– flatmate gone to Rome till Monday.
– Hail to The Thief is right this moment rocking my world. I am annoyed I could not listen to it last night. My conversion to a normal audio cd did not work very well.
– I’m really enjoying SG1. I’ve been catching up on some old (but unwatched) DVD’s again and they are good solid fun.
– One of the guys in work met a nice new girl and it’s going well. Catch being she does not drink (could live with that) and is a strict vegetarian. Ouch, not a good combination. But survivable I guess.
– I’m reading a book about the making of a hardcore porno movie. It’s very funny and well worth checking out (only an Amazon link). It had me laughing a lot on the bus to work the past couple of days.
– I have to get everything clean before Saturday morning, luckly I have the excuse that we are still having work done downstairs.
– Doing well(ish) on Blog Shares. Hope to do better out of the current crash.

And now the WEF is really back for 12 hours only.

It’s going quarter to two. I’ve been caught out once so far. It is true I could have been caught out many times and not yet realise it but I was got good once. There was a thread on the V this morning linking to what claimed to be a torrent for a work in progress screener of The Matrix: Reloaded. Suffice it to say I clicked it rapidly. I was wondering why the download only took a couple of seconds. Well it was just a text file with the name April Fools. So, yes I was got good and I should have known better, but as Iain did point out, it could have been worse. I could have ended up downloading donkey p0rn.
