Arses and the shifting thereof

by Suw on August 20, 2003

I still haven't started packing. I still haven't sorted out my change of address. I really must stop procrastinating. I really don't want to.

Blow-by-blow update

by Suw on August 20, 2003

I don't know why this is in the procrastination category, but it is. Live with it.

Sky sorted.
NTL sorted.

*sob sob* I can't believe it. I'm going to lose my beautiful 600k broadband connection. *sob sob* I've only had a it a few months. I'll be going back, then, to crappy dial-up, which may aspire to 56k but which will rarely hit 28k…

The social isolation I can deal with. The lack of money and soul-destroying search for new employment I can cope with. But dial-up?

How did this happen to me?

On the other hand

by Suw on August 20, 2003

This definitely does belong in the procrastination category.

Yet another Cannot Find Server page. But it made me laugh.

I know I really shouldn't have

by Suw on August 20, 2003

I know I shouldn't have wasted good time doing this, but I couldn't help it. Now, I want to see this appearing on Neil Gaiman's weblog by the end of the week, and expect this URL to have gone round the world at least once by this time tomorrow. Don't disappoint me, people.

Cannot Find Life Error.

Packing…

by Suw on August 20, 2003

I started packing. Ok so I only got two boxes done, but it's two boxes less to do on the weekend. It's depressing though. Until you start packing, the move remains a theoretical possibility. Once you've got boxes stacked in the corner it becomes an unpleasant inevitability.

What's also irritating me is that my computer really only half works, and I'm not sure how the hell I'm going to get it fixed. I do worry that if I don't get it sorted by the people at G2, (where I bought the new motherboard and who seem to know what they're doing), before I go back to Dorset then I'll never get the damn thing to fixed. Currently, the CD and sound card don't appear to work properly. Well, the sound card doesn't work at all. I haven't checked the modem and the zip drive yet. Must do that tomorrow. Windows is also playing silly buggers (when doesn't it?), and refusing alternately to not open and then not close. Norton Disk Doctor hasn't worked for ages. The second HD isn't plugged in yet. And I desperately want to put a brick through the monitor out of frustration.

Gone are the days when I knew enough about puters to fix the fuckers myself.

Recruitment agencies

by Suw on August 20, 2003

Now, if you had a recruitment agency based in Israel which specialised in attracting English speakers into the country, what would you call it? Something snappy, yes. Something memorable, yes. Certainly something carefully considered, bearing in mind the tense situation in the area. And quite possibly not Marksman International Personnel.

Escher in Lego

by Suw on August 20, 2003

Someone has way too much time on their hands. Still, this is really quite astounding.
