...well, maybe just a little bit...

I'm meeting Gill's parents tomorrow. Unfortunately the only thing that I can think about is that bloody Dr. Pepper advert.

A very important warning to anyone with an Asus board - particularly Baron, as I know it has the same "feature"

One of the selling points of recent Asus boards is the ability to put your own boot logo on. This sounded like a good idea at the time.

This is an explanation and a confession. For those that don't know, a Model View Controller is a software design pattern. It has there parts, a Model controls the data and logic, a View draws the data to the screen and a Controller links the two together.

About a month ago I swapped over to using GMail as my primary email account. I've been very impressed with it, as I've ad bad experiences with web-based email before.

Its time for an upgrade,

Last saturday I took delivery of:

many stuffs. [There's a whole gallery of pics of lumps of computer over there ;)]

Time to see what this chip can do...

Roadrunners again last night, and a fairly brutal set it was too, made all the harder by the wind and rain. We were doing 4 sets of 4 x 600m, with a pace increase in each set. By the end of it my legs were tightening up nicely, and my hobble was coming on a treat.

Nintendo have recently started doing their equivalent to xbox live arcade or playstation network which they have titled wii ware. They have of course been doing virtual console for ages or as I like to think of it selling our otherwise worthless back catalogue to people who may already own it.

In a spectacular example of romantic gestures I've been introducing Gill to non-standard (ie not available in Woolworths) board and card games. She already has some geek crudentials (is a programmer, has completed a version of Final Fantasy, is member of a D&D group), so thought I may as well go about increasing her geek license.

Roadrunners last night was a brutal session. After a normal warm up (gentle run for about a kilometre, and some drills) we had to do a flat-out 800m, with a target of beating the time we did 5 weeks ago. I managed 2.21, which is a whole 4 seconds off my time, so pretty chuffed with that.
