Evening Thoughts

Ben came over today and we managed to fix Max Payne! Going back a driver revision sorted it. I’ll try the 56.06(?)s once they come out, see if that makes any difference. We also managed to solve various other niggly problems my computer’s been having…Amazing how two minds work better than one (pah, it was Ben all the way, really ).

I know of no better bad-guy-death-scene than the finale of The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Ed has returned! Go pay his site a visit and test out the comments system. Given that uni is now over for a bit, will we also be seeing the return of Baguetter’s? I am hoping so…Also be sure to check out the Bonafide Blog Of Bagpuss, which I am assured will now be updated on a regular basis

I’m expecting this coming week to be a good one, as I’m awaiting various interesting parcels, as well as Kate coming home at the end. Whenever I say things like this events have a habit of not going as planned, so I may well have just put a jinx on myself. I don’t believe in jinxs, however, so that means there’s someone out there willfully causing me problems. Logically, the only people with the power to do such a thing would be MI6. That means I’m being groomed for the secret service. But I’ve just figured it out, and posted it on a public forum! So that’s screwed them. Does that mean I pass the test and the fact that I posted means it’ll seem even more unlikely I’m really a spy? Or will they just have to kill me? Tune in tomorrow for the exciting conclusion. I now return you to tonight’s broadcast: Dogs and Their Knitting 3: Attack of the Titanium Killer 50-Metre Cross-Stitch.

Bullet time is back!! One of my friends at uni replaced his keyboard since the E button stopped working and started changing Windows Media Player. Unsurprisingly the problem was still there! doh!

Your comment about MI6, or SIS reminded me of this:
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that they’re not out to get you!

I suppose my site could come back up. If I get round to plugging it all in and convincing my dad to have it running all the time in the office.
Just spent yesterday messing with our new, well new for me anyway, tv set up. Just need to get some coax or optical to plug the dvd into the tv and hopefully we will get some dolby digital goodness to go with the widescreen goodness

The E key? I”m confused…

Sounds like you’ve got a great setup there, Simon! Once you have enjoyed the benefits of the widescreen picture with decent sound you will become a DVD snob like me. I swore I wouldn’t, but it happened anyway

You should definitely set up your server again Simon! Is entertaining
