What a week…….

Posted on Jun 26, 2004

Not so much from the what happened point of view as from the “thank God it’s over” point of view. For some reason I was shattered this week – I essentially passed out around 9 p.m. on Wednesday night and slept right through. Then my bloody ankle started to act up- just when I thought it was getting better…..

On the plus side I found the excellent Dia program which should do as a nice replacement for Visio – who needs licensed software anyway?

The IC department in work finally delivered the Linux box I ordered. They’d imaged it with Redhat 9, but I didn’t like the way they had the disks partitioned and I like to stay a bit more current, so following a plesant experience with Fedora Core 2 on my laptop, I installed that instead. The box itself is a decent spec considering they gave me whatever they had spare – it’s a 2.4 Ghz P4 Dell- not bad at all.

Now I’m going to watercool my shuttle system so it stops making so much noise. Annoyingly it looks like I might have to replacethe RAM in that system – seems to have developed somenasty errors – every time I try to view a Windows Media player video on it the program crashes – and games work for about 5 seconds. Strangely enough Quicktime seems to play fine so maybe it’s a directx memory addressing issue or summat.
