It's close to two months since I decided to replace proxima's aging hardware and two returned motherboards later I finally moved everything over on friday. It's much faster.

It's also been snowing tonight... started soon after I left for Tesco :/.

My new alarm clock has arrived - now I won't get woken up at 7 at the weekend and can't be late for work because I forget to set an alarm. I do already have one but it's always illuminated (I can't read it from bed anyway) and only has a daily alarm.

My new printer is here... but it doesn't come with a USB cable so I can't use it yet :(

ASDA are selling young boys for £5!

Was cancelled...

I didn't expect them to fill up so fast.

The left one is for my blue bin, the right one is for the local recycling centre. At some time in the next decade I might have recycled enough to offset the amount of sellotape used to make the boxes...

Now my bin is trying to run away - perhaps I've not been feeding it enough?

The wind has knocked part of my fence over :(

Since wednesday (the 22nd) I've been able to use my ADSL connection, so I now have IPv4, (native) IPv6 and multicast IPv4 at the fastest possible speeds. :)

Now if only I had a username and password to connect with, and account details of where to send money...
