h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yesterday, I had a minor disaster whjen I was preparing to go out, but I didn't actually find out the extent of it till I was sitting in the dialysis chair. I was rushing to get down to the ambulance, and copying a slew of TV programmes onto the SD card that fits in my Hudl tablet. Just as I was shutting the computer down so I could move the card into the Hudl an error message flashed up on the screen, but it was gone before I could focus on it. I just loaded the card and dashed downstairs.

When I fired it up in the hospital, it just reported the SD card as "Empty".

The only thing that kept me going through the five hours+ of dialysis was that I had Doctor Who recording at home.

Except when I got home I found it hadn't recorded.

So, I fired up my Humax box and pressed the iPlayer button. iPlayer wouldn't load.

Next, I fired up my YouView box and scrolled back to Doctor Who. It was "unavailable".

Finally, I went online, tracked it down and started downloading it. It said it was going to take an hour and a bit... I napped in the armchair and, an hour and a bit later, I checked in on it. It was only a third of the way done.

I sat down in the armchair again, but I fell asleep till 2am, at which point I dragged myself through to the bedroom and flopped iinto bed fully dressed.

I've got it now, and as soon as I've heard The Archers I'll watch it.

I didn't watch any television yesterday, and I'm bloody annoyed about it.

Oh, and my new graphics tablet arrived yesterday just before I headed out - I haven't finished unwrapping it yet.

You and me both, downloading Who on Sunday night. Hope it's good - also hope the file I'm downloading is viable.
