Work was busy today and I’ve got some stuff to do tomorrow. I sent off my timesheet and invoice too – the most import job of the week. After work I went to Dunelm Mills and got the memory foam pillows for the folks, then a nice kebab 🙂 I found I had 40ukp refunded to my PayPal account, I’d forgotten about that – nice surprise! I got Nascar 2006: Total Team Control for the Xbox, and like most EA Sports games, it’s pretty naff – there’s not even a feeling of speed, i.

I just bought three toner refills and the kit for my new laser printer for 16ukp off ebay! Work was pretty busy today, gonna be really busy tomorrow with calls. I’ve paid my last rent now, woo-hoo 18 working days left! Update: just watched The Contractor, which was an OK Wesley Snipes movie.

The electricity has been flaky at work today, meaning no air-conditioning, so it’s been 29 degrees in the office! I installed Fedora 7 on the spare testing laptop. It seems to have a few new apps, and a more standard Gnome install. It has a stupidly large number of services enabled by default – such as ISDN and Sendmail. I took a slow walk across the [cool] park at work and went to the post office to get my mail forwarding setup, and send off Dad’s Fathers Day card.

Just watched Blind Dating, which was an alright romantic comedy about a blind guy going on dates. I backed up my FC5 install and tried to restore it into VMWare Server, although it wouldn’t get past the grub prompt. I tried a grub-install, but still didn’t fix it, which is weird, as I’ve done this before with FC3. I’ve had to resort to cheating at FarCry Instincts Evolution, as I couldn’t figure out how to get out of the burning shanty town level.

It’s bloody hot today, and I got up pretty late, so leaving going to the pub/Wickes until tomorrow. I’ve been playing Far Cry Instincts Evolution on the Xbox today, it’s very good, although the graphics are a long way behind the 360. I’ve also been playing Reservoir Dogs, which seems similar to Scarface.
