Diary: April 2004

Fantastic Friday

So, it's Friday in the last week of my holiday. What have I done this week? Cursed my failed hard drive, and installed a new one. ARGH. Really need to get on with some work.

I've now got an 80gb drive in here - I thought it would be a good idea, since I don't really need the space now I have my fileserver. But I had no idea how hard it was to cut hard disk usage down by 1/3. Still, I've done very well, I have over half free. Although true, I haven't ...

Back at uni

Right, so I'm back at uni now, came back on Sunday. Sunday was also my gran's birthday - she was 98 - so I took her out for a birthday lunch on Saturday. Saturday evening I spoke to Leela, and then, as I said, came back on Sunday. We left at 2, and found ourselves in Basingstoke a couple of hours later. I think we were lost. Still, arrived in Bath eventually, when I went to the pub and drank cocktails. Today I walked up to uni with Tristan, had a lab and did Laura's experiment. Zozo was in ...

I think I am suffering from hayfever; either that, or a cold that has lasted a week. Leela told me to take some Loratadine, but it's not working very well yet, so I'm still sniffing.

Oh, and it was Laura's too. She had a birthday party, where it was bring-your-own food, so Tristan and I brought burgers for the barbeque. He then got ...

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-CHK!

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-CHK!

This is the sound I have been listening to for the past 24 hours. Well, a lot of the past 24 hours, but I did go to sleep.

What is it?

It's the sound of inevitability. It's the sound of Okama's imminent death.

Well, actually it's the sound of my chipset fan spinning irrationally and occasionally pausing for breath. And it might not make much difference if it fails, but then again it might, so I've ordered a new one anyway, and it should get here tomorrow - with my ...

Yargh

Ok, am overworked. I have my dissertation which I have to finish by the end of the weekend, and tonbschl are desperate for me to spend from now till the end of my weekend updating their website. Fun and games.

Computer people:

In other news, my replacement chipset fan arrived. I unscrewed and unplugged the old one and then noticed that it had the wrong number of pins; old one had 2 pins, new one has 3. Yay. But then I had a look and found a spare 3 pin fan header, which is a bonus because I can now ...
