Hmmm not sure if this icon I want. If you don’t ready know Irn Bru is a Scottish soft drink. Look at my web page for more details. The bottle in the picture is a recyclable glass bottle that you can return and get some money back. After leaving my student flat I got back about 5 pounds (That’s Pounds Sterling). One of my friends was in the UK a few weeks back. He didn’t think very much of it when he tried it 🙂

Its time to rip another CD, I picked up a cd over the weekend that I thought would be good. I am sucker for celtic music. I looked at the title “Roots, reels + rhythms” then looked at the bands and thought “I know Capercaillie and Tartan Amoebas”. I was hoping it would be more ceildh type music turns out to be more well, emmm, I not quite sure. The CD says that it is “A totally modern celtic experience”. Lets just say that I am trying to decide wether it gets added to my play list.

Hehe my first post.

Greek Stuff:
I bought a cable modem today. Assuming I get the rebate it should pay for its self in 10 months. This gave me the opportunity of phoning technical support and spending 5 minutes trying to get something other than the engaged tone. Then probably 30 minutes to an hour getting them to enable the stupid thing. After spending many hours on the phone with there technical support I have learned a few things.

1) don’t tell them you have a anything other than a windows machine directly connected to the cable modem

2) They consider resetting the modem switching it off for 5 minutes, during this time they say they are doing something to your account *cough* bullshit.

I eventually got the required non flashing lights so I got off the phone.

I also found out that there servers got hit by Code red worm. I wonder if they need a security engineer at Road Runner 🙂
