Day 2

of being absolutely wiped out. I never sleep in the day – and have done both. I never have headaches as bad as this 2 days in a row. Feel shattered. Drained is the word, it’s beyond tired. Running on automation. Not running, just moving. Very very slowly.

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness

By Mark | Published: 14:37 Thursday 29 Oct 2009
It arrived, all the way from the USA: It is perfectly sealed. No holes, no scratches on the covering plastic. Mint. But do I play it? Took a while to find, I have a few games on the go right now (Fallout 3, FF VII, Monster Hunter and SOCOM) and if I do open it [...]

Credit inexpert

At some point in the last couple of years Jacq signed us up to a service called CreditExpert. I will have chosen a password, told J what it was and left her to do whatever it did. I don’t care for any money issues, it’s all down to Jacq to sort (which she likes so [...]

Thanks Google

Usenet users can post messages to newsgroups that can be read (and responded to) by anyone who has access to the system through a newsreader. Over the [...]

Looking South

By Mark | Published: 17:32 Tuesday 27 Oct 2009
I have decided to move the contents of my old /T2 blog into this one. Not sure of some of the finer details – like showing the posts as opposed to making them all private – but I’m finding some images that have memories. This was July 2007 just after WordCamp. The first picture I [...]

Yes it did.

You know that thing on the net where if you didn’t take a screenshot it didn’t happen?

Walk into any Orange mobile phone shop. Buy a phone At the till the sales person will open the box and insert the SIM. They say they are “setting the phone up”. You pay. On leaving the shop turn around and walk straight back to the same person. Say you have changed your mind, that [...]

Gender game choice

Joe’s Bar An undistinguished bar, yet the social center of Upper Sandusky. The front door is almost lost amidst the hazy maze of neon that shrouds the grimy glass of the south wall.

.jp radio

Currently listening to http://oyakan.hp.infoseek.co.jp/radio/. I have not the faintest clue what they are singing but it sounds great. Station found and being recorded with Snowtape. iTunes has no idea how to name/tag the exports which is also amusing. It has the Genre as ‘music’. That’s it.
