Ow
I fell down some steps today and twisted my ankle. It is now swollen and hurts. Ow.
Apart from that, working. Another pretty uneventful day really.

Wheel Reinvented, New Improved Axles Coming Soon
I have bought a DVD player.
Just over 3 years ago I bought a Shuttle SV24 with a view to using it as a DVD/DivX player to go with my nice TV. However, it never really cut it as a DVD player, so since then I have been meaning to get a newer better small quiet computer to play my DVDs and stuff. Then there was all of the PVR stuff, so my requirements gradually got harder and harder to fulfil, leaving me with many many DVDs, and nothing to play them on (other than my incompetent desktop computers ...
Php Is Weird
I'm doing some work in php at the moment and doing some speed testing. Copying a 5mb string to an array is faster (takes ~0.0002 seconds) than adding a reference to the 5mb string to the array (takes ~0.04 seconds). For test after test. Weird.

Anyway, I'm up to exciting things! So far on my work schedule I have remaining: 2 scripts for a website, 3 new websites, 21 new flash animations, finalising another 20 flash animations and re-doing a flash demonstration. That's the stuff people have requested; on top of that I've got a few other work-related projects (such as my CMS), and then there's the fun stuff (like my sites, something BIG ...
