I think I’m coming down with a cold, I’ve got a really peppery nose 🙁 Work was boring today as I was the only one in the office and had little to do, so I left a little early as I worked through lunch and was in before 8am due to there being no traffic (half term). I put an ebuyer order through with Phil’s help to make it up to the free shipping.

Just watched Night At The Museum, which was pretty good, about a museum that comes alive at night. I tried jellied eels yesterday, not as bad as I thought they would be, kind of like Sardines, the jelly was obviously horrible. I also tried squid in ink, which was very nasty, not like calamari at all. I’ve almost finished Doom3, just got to kill the Cyberdemon. Pippa got me a mood-cube clock, it lights up different colours and flashes through all twelve every hour, it’s weird it makes you smile every time it does that!

I’m 29 today, last year of being twenty-something! Work was busy today, although we did go out for lunch at the pub where I got shouted a burger and a pint. I’m going out for a curry in a minute with a couple of blokes from work, who are driving so I can have a drink. I opened my cards early as usual.

Not doing much today, played some Doom 3, oh and my mouth has mostly recovered from the disenfectant escapade! I just watched Inside Man, which was a great movie with good twists and lots of stars. Gonna try to get MacOSX 10.4.6 or 10.4.8 working under VMWare later as 10.4.1 seems to have old libraries or something as no software will install for it (like Camino, Crossover or Firefox) and the update system broke iTunes and QuickTime.

I’ve just finished playing with MacOSX Tiger (10.4.1) under VMWare! I added a couple of speed tweaks (getting rid of the ACPI kernel module, removing the floppy/USB controllers and setting the VM guest type to Linux->Other) and it works pretty well considering there are no VMWare Tools to speed up graphics or anything. Luckily my P4 has SSE2/PAE, although it doesn’t have SSE3 to speed things up more. I even got networking working using the Maxxuss driver, happily surfing away using Safari (Camino and Firefox wouldn’t load due to missing libraries or something).
