I bought an 6db antenna. I also got a new ATI tv wonder pro. The antenna was missing the connector I needed but I am going to get them to mail me one so that isn’t a big deal. The tv card is a waste of time. It has a conexant cx23883 chip set in it which doesn’t seem have any support for linux. I was looking for a card that can do stereo but i guess I will have to return it. It is so hard to tell what is on the card till you open it.

Oh oh the cat has decided that she want be on my lap. Hopefully she will settle.

Well that about sums up my feeling about work

I am wake and dressed and it it 8:22am. Would normally be leaving to go to work. I am having real issues sleeping in these days, which is a shame because I think I need some extra sleep. 7:30am EDT rolls round and I am awake any chances of sleeping longer are fairly slim. I can’t do what someone I know does on a regular basis, fall a sleep with in a few minutes.
So it is 8:30. I have the choice faf around a little longer or shock horror be at work at 9am 🙂 I am going to drive since I have wedding gifts to drop off of my boss and its raining and I don’t feel like getting wet today.

Ok I didn’t plan this but I stood in line and bought the new version of the OS X. What I planned was to drop in on the Mac store close to the four courts. I was supposed to be meeting my friends there. I wanted to check out the Ipods and maybe buy one. The store was closed waiting for 8pm to reopen from 8 till mid night so I stood in line. I ended up buying the upgrade and getting 10% of the cost of the IPOD :).
I love the expose function, very sweet. I am not convinced that there is $129 dollars worth of changes. They have fixed switching IPs when running X. I Can also supposedly sync my contacts and read email on an exchange server. Pity I don’t have one handy to test with. Being able to view word documents in text edit is sweet. There is an update to Safari but I haven’t noticed much change.
I am happy with the IPOD it now has all of my mp3 archive on it. I need to play with some of the ID3 tags to get it all the songs showing up right.

How to entertain a cat. move your mouse pointer from left to right on the screen
then up and down

I got a new usb drive to replace the one I lost recently. The complete Harry Potter book set, candy (ooo sweet:). All from HY 🙂 I got the latest Ian Rankin from my parents and a box of uk goodies from my Granny. I have got to stop eating Sweeties

I guess I will go empty my freezer of all the spoiled stuff from last weekend. I haven’t had the time to do it yet.

The holyrood is going away, people on are trying to find a new haunt. the sad thing is I don’t reconise many of the pubs on the list

I have power. brought all the machines back online this morning. The sunbox didn’t come up cleanly. The firewall was having issues, but it all works now. Not sure what the firewalls problem was, but a reboot later it seems to be working.
