I talked Andy into driving me and my Linux server over to Bob's place for a smiley - geek session this afternoon; I treated them both to lunch courtesy of a £13.99 mega-bucket from KFC, some Newcastle Brown smiley - ale for Bob and me, and Coke for Andy. smiley - ok

It was an entertaining enough afternoon, and Bob seems to have picked up on the quirks of SuSE Linux 8.1 quite rapidly. He's going to set up the test version of the AOPL site on the server, thus effectively also testing the server before I use it as the in-house box for the COGS graphics project. smiley - geeksmiley - artist

When I got home, I connected my headphones to the PVR PC and set about watching a borrowed Matrix 2 DVD. It got about 20 minutes in, then the drive couldn't read it. smiley - wah

After that, my stomach decided to go back into explosive mode... smiley - illsmiley - runsmiley - yuk The KFC meal was one of the first decent "meaty" meals I've had in a week, and I guess my digestive system just wasn't up to it. smiley - blue It's still gurgling a little at the moment. smiley - ermsmiley - run

It was particularly cold outside earlier, with the ice not really melting on the pavements despite bright sunshine; combined with my disrupted metabolism I just can't stop shivering; I'm toying with the idea of sleeping in the living room tonight, as there's heating through here. Even if I don't I'll be turning the bedroom radiator on for tomorrow morning... smiley - brr
