So in less than 24 hours, I have died 6 times in CoH. I currently have just under 9k debt. It sucks hard. Still one benefit someone pointed out is a higher influence level throughout. I’ve gotta kill more to get to the next level so I’ll have more to spend on SO. This is a good thing.

I suspect I’ll get some of the nice people in my supergroup to power me a bit over the weekend. Get sidekicked for an hour, do nothing at all but stay close and rack up 600XP per kill. Not the most fun way to play but it’ll get me out of this hole.

I’m listeing to 200Km/h in the Wrong Lane, the album by short lived Russian girl group tATu. It’s surprisingly good. I remember a number of people saying that when it came out but I only got around to listening to it last night.

And in today’s Olypmic news. Swimming is rather boring to be honest, at least watching it is. I was surprised by how much the weight lifting captivated me. When a fairly normally built 19 year old from China can lift over 33 stone to win a gold medal, well that’s fucking impressive. The Badminton was awesome. The British team did an excellent job and well deserved a medal. Commentary from the Beeb fairly biased of course but I did have to wonder about a comment on how the Chinese players were playing their game (or tricks may have been the actual word) when they spoke to the umpire. Anyway I think the Brit’s were pretty happy with silver and fair play to them, great match. That was really it I think.

Well in the internet world it looks to have been a huge day. XP SP2 really began it’s rollout to home machines, as mentioned earlier Google IPO’s and the US Court of appeals has made what looks to be a historic decison. Short of it is software companies cannot be held responsible for copyright infringement which happens on their networks. So Bit Torrent appears to be in the clear!

And on that note I’m going to sleep, it’s late.
