Searching for good enough videos of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra's performance in North Korea, so I can steal the audio.
George:I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law

Finishing up with fixing chat. Discovered unexpected problems and had to improvise.

Bring along something to read, Sit way in the back so you can quietly escape to get some air or a peace and quiet break!

Shopping for computer things.  I've run out of hard disc space, so it's time for a new drive.  Currently I'm using a 30GB IDE drive, a 200GB IDE drive and a 400GB SATA drive, and I'm planning to get a 1TB Western Digital Caviar, since it's supposed to be very quiet, have a reasonable speed and is decently priced.

Also wondering why blue ray discs are so expensive.  What's so special about them that they should cost £8 a pop when I can get a pack of 50 DVD+R's for £7?

I wish I could get my CPU fan off it's heatsink and replace it with something quieter.  It's attached to the heatsink with some weird screws that as far as I can tell (since they're deeply recessed and I can't see them clearly), have squat T shaped heads that stick out, and I've never seen a tool that would fit a screw like that.  I don't want to replace the heatsink itself, since then I'd have to disassemble most of the computer and the heatsink is attached with a horrible lever spring thingy that seems designed to cause people to ruin their motherboards or cpus while trying to get it fastened.

Installing stuff on the new pooter. It's NOT going well.

Take a break and have some hot, steamy, screaming, writhing bed breaking foom with Lucifer.  Then you can tackle the pooter problem with fresh and invigorated insight!   :eyebrows:

(Had to reinstall the whol system--didn't get it the way I liked the first time so I decided to redo everything.)
