Author: Computers suck
Here I sit, having repaired what Parallels did to M's new iMac, only to find coincidentally that my own 300GB drive had failed. Naturally, this was the drive containing my personal data, so I am wildly enamoured as you can imagine.
Doppio Zero Rosebank Sucks
We went to this place on Sunday morning for M's birthday breakfast, and it sucks. The food arrived for some people, and not for others, and when the rest came, it was cold. The waiter was a first prize idiot, and the manager (who looked about 12 years old) useless. When I wanted to pay, they took seven attempts of processing my card before deciding that it wouldn't go through. To crown it off, there were flies around the food.
Hello from the edge of the couch
M bought a 24" iMac today in anticipation of his birthday tomorrow. We moved to Linden yesterday, so the house is still slowly being unpacked. Sentech only works from certain locations in the house, so I'm typing this on the laptop that is sharing the connection via a 10m cable to the study, so thatContinue reading Hello from the edge of the couch
Windows and me
P35 motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz, 4GB RAM, 2 x 500GB HDD, 1 x 80GB HDD, 1 x 300GB HDD, 2 x 19" LCDs (when M gets his iMac, I get his screen), and all of that ruined by Windows Vista.

Frustration
I'm trying to clean up some music on my iMac, to keep bitrate and sampling consistent, etc. In my experience, I've found MusicMatch to be the fastest way to resample MP3s, with its built-in converter. Problem is, the latest version doesn't work on Windows Vista. That's the first problem.
COMPEG
This is the managing agent who is supposedly in charge of the complex where we presently live. Today they cut off our electricity despite two months of battling to sort out payment of our account, plus written proof of payment from their side.
Finished!
I nailed it, and my handwriting got progressively worse as the paper went on. I wrote Criminology 201: Personal, Social and Environmental Crime Perspectives, Crime Prevention and Victimisation in just over an hour (the first to finish by the look of things – 60 people wrote).
Studying and other things
My last exam is Criminology, which I write tomorrow morning. Then I will spend the rest of the day writing a script for work, for an industrial theatre piece our team is putting on next week.
