23/6
Whew, it's been some time ...
Can't really say why either, not less than usual has happened. Not much more either of course, but anyway ...
Since the rest of the family is currently away, I've taken the liberty of moving the computers down into this room, officially called the dining room. It sure feels nice to finally be able to have the computer mouse at a comfortable level. Since the normal computer table is too small for the mousemat, we usually have the mouse on a side table of a different height. The wrists go ouch just thinking about it ... Plus in this room there isn't a big sun trying to sneak in through the window, boiling you alive, during the evenings.
Martin made me aware of the phenomenon abandonware a few days ago. Basically, it's piracy of old games, ones you won't find in the shops anymore. Simply games the companies can be said to have abandoned. It turned out there were lots of old games out there I've got for my Amiga and want for my PC. Finally, I've been able to get a working version of Space Hulk again. At last, I'll be able to find out what happens during the last few missions. Not to mention I'll be able to watch the outro in Moonstone, my version locked up when you completed it. And quite often at other, more random, times too. The things you had to put up with before you could download patches ...
I have some video recording to try and remember tonight. Both my brother and Petter has asked me to record things tonight. Seinfeld starts at 22:00 and a documentary about the CIA starts at 22:10. Good thing we have to video recorders. But what to watch? I'd like to see both, but whatever one I choose I'd have to miss a bit to get the other recording going with good timing, and I wouldn't bet too much on myself remembering something like that in the middle of Seinfeld ... The problems of the modern lifestyle threaten to break us down completely ;-) ...
Troubles are turning up for my continued reading of the Wheel of Time. This is the situation: I'm on book seven, and the next one may not be returned to the library until late August. Consider book twelve, and things get really scary: all copies are out, and four people have booked it as soon as it comes back. Capital :-( ...
