Slip & Slide

Was supposed to blog about this last week or 2 ago but might as well do it now :)

So yea, a couple weeks ago we got some really bizarre weather here in the UK… bizarre in the way that it was totally unexpected, over a week of snow… snow that actually settled!  Was great, everything looked so cool covered in a white layer as far as the eye could see.  Then came the realisation that I had to drive on this stuff to get to work.  The first couple days were alright cause the serious snow hadn’t hit yet, that was due midweek.  However, when Wednesday rolled around I was getting rather nervous since I have no experience when it comes to driving on snow.  Luckily my house has extremely easy access to the motorway and once onto there I was safe… until I got to where I worked.

For Fuppes Sake!

No matter how much I try I can’t get the stupid media streamer working 100%, really beginning to get on my nerves.

When I moved into the house I’m in at the moment I brought my server (WOPR) with me as well as my enormous media collection, unfortunately the mini-ITX box we had as the media centre wasn’t mine so it remained behind.  Luckily I’ve got a 360 which is capable of streaming from a media server and there are a few around for linux.

Ugh, I can’t believe how tired I feel today… and there I was thinking I had a good night sleep.  Didn’t require much effort to actually get up this morning but was still an incredible effort to keep from jumping back into bed during my morning routine of getting ready for work.  Although, this was probably due to having a sexy red-head in it at the time ;) .

Ugh, I can’t believe how they get away with it.

My home Internet has been out for over a week now and Virgin Media are difficult to deal with.  They keep blaming the outages on their customers so they don’t have to compensate them, it’s taken this long to get them to admit there is a fault with their system somewhere.
