I finally got around to cleaning my car! It’s probably been about 6 months since it was last cleaned (which was before the water restrictions came in, and that was about January or so this year). It’s not completely clean, as I couldn’t be bothered putting in the elbow grease to get all of the gunk off, but it’s a damn-sight better than it was. My car has disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear, and it’s quite amazing how much filthier the mags at the front get compared to the rear (because of all the brake dust from the disc brakes).

We had our LAN at my friend’s place last night, played lots of WarCraft III. One of my friends brought his wireless router over, so those of us that had wireless enjoyed a distinct lack of cables hanging from our machines. 🙂

Worked yesterday, which is never good, but I can’t complain too much…previously, I hadn’t worked a Saturday for probably a good couple of months, if not more.

Oh yes, and my laptop needs a new logic board. 🙁 There’s something wrong with the “ethernet cell” on the current one. The only problems I’ve noticed are an occasional freeze when waking from sleep (and by “occasional” I mean once a month or less). But one of the guys in the repair centre at work has ordered in a new logic board, and he said he should be able to put it in tomorrow afternoon. So hopefully once that’s done, my PB will be totally rock solid. (It is at the moment, really, except for those random freezes I mentioned).

Busy weekend!

Phew, that was a busy weekend. 🙂

On Friday night, we headed over to a friend’s house to geek out and play Magic: The Gathering. Early Saturday afternoon, I went down to the mall to buy presents for the two 21sts that were on Saturday night, and I also picked up some more Magic cards and the second last book in the New Jedi Order series, “The Final Prophecy”.

Saturday night was good. First I drove out to North Ryde Golf Club for lord_fryingpan‘s girlfriend’s 21st, then drove back to Wheeler Heights for my other friend Millsy’s 21st. Ended up getting home at a bit before 4:30am this morning. 🙂

Woke up at 2pm today, then headed over to a friend’s place at 4:30ish for a small birthday barbeque/gathering for another friend, Karl, who’s exactly a year older than Millsy. 🙂 We also geeked out a bit then and played some more Magic. 😉 Finally ended up getting home at 11pm!

Well, I was going to upload a pic of my new setup, but our digital camera appears to have shat itself. 🙁 It froze while iPhoto was trying to copy the pic across, and now whenever I go to turn it on, it just continously restarts itself. Grumble.

OH NOES!

For the first time ever, I’ve gone over the $33/month that my phone costs. $42.94 the final cost was. 123 SMSs! 😮 I didn’t realise I’d sent so many. ::looks significantly at gigglznwrigglz:: 😀

My monitor didn’t arrive today, either. 🙁

EDIT:

Which dodgy Sydney pub are you?

The Town Hall Hotel
You are The Townie. You rock out. You will
probably meet your future wife/husband here. Be
on the lookout for aging rockers trying to be
picked up – and be careful you don’t end up at
Zanzibar. Gunners anyone?

Laptops rule.

I’m sitting here snuggled up in bed with my PowerBook, with a long cable going half-way across to the room to my stereo. (It’ll be awesome once my AirPort Express arrives. :D). The PB also does an excellent job as a heater. 😉

Also, I’m considering getting one of these so I can still use my G4 tower. It’ll also be handy to be able to have it plugged into my PowerBook as well.

Going over to a friend’s place tonight to play some Warcraft III and drink some^Wlots of alcohol. 🙂
