A digital misfit

Things are progressing with the new box – I’m now in the process of pulling over all of the applications I’d previously had split between the laptop and desktop. Mail is the next one to come over, which is going to involve a catch up on mail thats been hanging around in my mailbox for a few weeks (months, in the worst cases) awaiting response….if you’re expecting a mail and haven’t had one by the end of the week, I’ve lost you somewhere along the way, which means one of (a) I got busy playing Scorched Earth[1], (b) I’ve lost your email address, or (c) I hate you[0].

Beyond that, my first week as a ‘man of leisure’ is starting to look rather busier than any week I’ve had for a while, I must try to remember how to plan.

[0] This isn’t likely unless you’re an agent, in which case I suspect you’re not reading this anyway.

    You think I’d wish that on anyone? I know how long my addiction took to get over last time….thankfully the old K6-300 downstairs isn’t manly enough for the 3D version at a usable framerate.

  2. Was it? Oh, I should pay attention, really, shouldn’t I?

    …but Matti saves the day with an on-demand demonstration of exactly the effect I am, these days, effortlessly parsing.

    …I was reasonably confident it wasn’t going to run alright, so I didn’t mind trying to install it…if that makes any sense?
