Today I got up early caus lauperr<\/a> was coming round. She turned up bearing gifts of dognuts, creme eggs and Guinness which made me feel very guilty caus I don’t have an income with which to buy her things \ud83d\ude41 – wish she’d stop spending all her money on me \ud83d\ude1b On the plus side I now have some Guinness to last me through to new year, yey! Had a wonderful time with laura and we’re meeting up again tomorrow afternoon to watch a film before New Year goings on.<\/p>\n

My debian installation is definately starting to take shape and I’m very pleased I took the plunge because I’ve learnt a hell of a lot over the past couple of days through setting it up.<\/p>\n

Note to self:
\n* Still need to install gaim, xcdroast and grip and probably quanta and amaya
\n* Get USB working with hub, external hard disk and possibly web cam and infra-red port for phone
\n* Get TV card working and possibly infra-red remote setup and dvbstream server over network
\n* Find out if anyone’s written a driver for Live! drive yet
\n* Install GKrellM plugins
\n* Pursuade mplayer to get a more decent picture from DVDs
\n* Sort the openoffice.org dictionary
\n* Copy rest of files from backup and sort fstab and symlinks
\n* Find out how to add a powerdown command to fluxbox menu
\n* Get a life<\/p>\n

Freeserve have realised I’m not paying them any money and cut off my email again :S bar stewards.<\/p>\n

School isn’t really something I want to think about at the minute, but I’m going to have to get back into it all soon or I’m doomed to failure. Well, failure in someone’s eyes anyway.<\/p>\n

mchicago<\/a> had calmed down today after his unfortunate day yesterday and was discussing future plans which I find pretty exciting, but don’t tell him that. There’s a kind of romance in not having a clue what I’m doing next year… and it’s also frelling scary. Someone give me a job, please? Just for one year, that’s all I ask.<\/p>\n

DeepDown is coming along quite well considering certain… setbacks and I’m still wishing I could be more involved. I’m trying to convince myself that doing some PHP\/MySQL work for DeepDown would be good practice for my Coursework, but time is a little short for that I think.<\/p>\n

This small text is starting to hurt my eyes now because I’ve been supping whisky. Goodnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
