Minor Setback
Last night didn’t go exactly as planned. I had wonderful intentions of not watching any television, doing some work on the computer, making myself dinner etc etc and if I achieved those goals then playing some Kotor. When I got home, I tried to begin some processes on the pc that would install the relevant components for showImg (using apt to get kdebase3-devel etc) and everything went bad from there. Something didn’t work so I got tinkering, then I caught my foot in the damn telephone cord and the modem disconnected. For some reason I couldn’t get it to pick up a dialtone again, and spent ages fussing around until finally after the fourth or fifth attempt at disconnecting and reconnecting the various assorted plugs in the chain of cabling that snakes all the way from under my desk through the study and the lounge room, then around the hallway until it finally reaches the phone jack in the wall. sigh.
At this point, my schedule was ruined, and me being me I farted about for a bit longer trying to get some things to work then ended up in front of the television with the last of the mead and a microwave risotto. Not so good. Tonight must be better – walking is required, and much work to be done on the ‘puters.

Sorry to hear it, buddy. When you’re rich, you’ll have to set up wirelessly. Glad to see you had the computers back up well enough to post about it.<br /><br />I can imagine there was a good amount of cursing. In fact I can almost imagine the exact string of expletives now…
