denny: (Reach for the lasers!)
When I started working here, I tried to install the Last.fm player on my machine. It installed fine, but wouldn't actually play anything - it claimed it was, but no sound was forthcoming. I spent two hours trying to figure out which part of the sound subsystem was ballsed up before giving in and using my laptop to play Last.fm instead.

Today, my laptop is safely at home in its current role as my sole method of getting online from the flat, and there's an incredibly tedious meeting going on about three feet behind me... all about categorisation of antiques. Given this incentive, it took me a mere 25 minutes to get the problem isolated and solved, and I now have the 'hard trance' channel playing VERY LOUDLY to drown out the ongoing discussions :)

My birthday is September 3rd, which is a Sunday this year. I'm fairly set on going here in the daytime... probably in a fairly sideways state of mind and body chemistry:

Anybody interested in coming along?

This year I will be 33, which is a hobbit coming of age. It also, at some point in the last year or so, prompted an odd idea. I decided that as well as having a fairly normal (i.e. low-key (ish (maybe))) birthday celebration this year, I was going to try for something a little major when I was 33+1/3 - partly because I missed out on doing anything major on my 30th due to the accident just before it, but mostly because it just appealed to me as a concept - one last nod to the world of LPs before CDs completely drive them from my rapidly fading memory ;-) This would place the celebration at or around 3rd January 2007, so I'm arbitrarily claiming this year's New Year celebrations, and everything surrounding them, as mine :-P If anyone has any great ideas on what to do, where to do it, or who to do it with (or to ;-) ) then feel free to share them.
