"I got a letter from a general at the Pentagon when the name change went through and he says it was great to have the employ of the commander of the Autobots in the National Guard."
Had a good weekend, four days, took some time off after stressful 24 hours of work over weekend before. Should be off web work / HTML / ASP / SQL this week and into bug fixing of VB / SQL stuff.
Birthday party was excellent. Lots of drinking and dancing and loud music. My band played a crazy semi-practiced set with a few covers and messed up versions of old songs. Appear to have caught a cold though. Not too bad yet.
What'd I get for my birthday? Plush monkey, monkey on a pen, JB voucher (which magically turned into Simpsons Treehouse of Horror DVD), book on Melbourne (history and photos... tis good), Best of David Bowie DVD (excellent) and the new Apocalyptica CD (also excellent, reviewing soonish).
Cleaned up the house a bit yesterday. My girlfriend and my CD collection now live together. Now all we need is a dog and we're practically married. Tried to move the old computer into the lounge room yesterday as a kind of video / MP3 player but it wouldn't fit anywhere, the case is too darn big. From memory it didn't play video too well through the video out anyway, the conversion from full screen DivX to PAL on the fly took too much CPU I think. Might try mounting it in a shorter (or thinner) case but might not bother if it isn't up to power (but a CPU/motherboard upgrade would probably only cost a couple of hundred). Or maybe I'll just sell it and buy a new guitar. Stupid bloody computers.
Banged my head yesterday while cleaning my dusty unit. Still feel a bit crap, but maybe that's the cold.
Tried looking up some old school friends from highschool last week in a moment of extreme bordem. I managed to find one apart from the three I already know about. He was on Schoolfriends.com.au. Not a single one turned up in a Google search. Wacky. I guess I'm unique in my publicness. And I hate public speaking. What's with that?
Dave returns... which is lucky because I never removed his link...
