Heehee…I just plugged my iPod in to update it…

I now have 666MB of space left on it. 🙂 Even my iPod is metal.

Speaking of which, my “Jesus is f’ing metal” t-shirt arrived a couple of days ago (along with the other three shirts I ordered). 😀 (And lord_fryingpan was kind enough to drop them off on his way home after work).

YAY!

I got my green P’s. 😀

And a haircut.

And my local EB are having a midnight launch of Halo 2!

w00t!

I now have 256MB of Compact Flash lovin’ in my camera. 🙂

So no more having to choose between dropping the resolution down to 1024×768 or running out of space when taking pictures at, say, 21sts, for example!

Sweeeet. My 500GB HD arrived today. 😀

Also, I had a ridiculous tangle of cables and things last week, when I was copying things back and forth:

Well, we were going to have an Xbox night at my friend’s place last night, so I lugged my Xbox and all it’s associated shit over…and no-one else turned up. Fuckers.

So we drank alcohol and played co-op Halo until 5 in the morning. 🙂

LOL!

I’ve just finished setting up my AirPort Express and was testing the signal strength on mum’s laptop, out in the loungeroom…and I can see the neighbour’s wireless network! And it doesn’t have a password on it. 🙂 Barely any signal strength, it keeps dropping out, and doesn’t show up at all if you move away from the very corner of the loungeroom. But still… 🙂

Now that I think about it, that could have been why the signal strength to our AIrPort Extreme base station was bad…the two networks might be on the same channel and are interfering.

/me tests that theory.

UPDATE: Bingo! Next door’s network was indeed the problem. I changed the channel that the AIrPort Extreme connects on to 12 (from 10) and we’re consistently getting 2-3 bars of reception (out of 4 maximum).

Whee! My Bluetooth (for the non-geeks of us, read that as “wireless” :)) keyboard is here. 😀

My never-ending war against cables moves up another notch!
