I came home early today as I’d already made my hours up (and got the timesheet signed!) and half the team was working from home anyway.

I’ve done two loads of washing, done the rubbish, done some downloads, burned some DVD’s, bought some Xmas stuff from eBay and watched the [pretty awful] Bring It On 3.

I’m going into Ipswich tomorrow to do some Xmas shopping, then I’ll probably go to Tesco and get some stuff to cook a curry, as I’m fed up of pizza and sandwiches don’t seem to be satisfying me – that said, I had a lovely baguette last night and I just enjoyed a cheese toastie….

I got my Linksys WRT54GL working in bridged/client mode today, I installed the WhiteRussian RC6 OpenWRT firmware and it’s now connecting my laptop’s ethernet to my Netgear DG834Gv2 wirelessly, so I’ll be able to put my Xbox on the WLAN when I go home to France.

ebuyer are collecting the wrong DVD burner on Monday – I assume via CityLink, so I don’t have to pay any postage to get it replaced with the correct model. I went to Tesco to get some tape to pack the box with.

I figured out why I’ve been tired lately – I’ve eaten a lot of lettuce, and it always makes me sleepy.

I’ve just watced Poseidon 2006, it was pretty good actually.

I just got my router and DVD burner from ebuyer, but they’ve sent me the wrong burner, so gotta go through the hassle of getting it returned via recorded delivery or whatever and getting RMA’s, then probably having to pick up the replacement from CityLink again…..

Earlier I watched Borat, which was quite funny, but basically just his USA programs stitched together into a feature length episode. Not as good as the Ali G movie.

I also watched the South Park episode where Steve Irwin goes to Satan’s halloween party and gets told off for dressing as the Crocodile Hunter, cos that’s kinda sick dude, when he says he is him, he gets chucked out for not wearing a costume!

I’ve wasted most of today installing Fedora Core 6 on my laptop!

The main reasons for upgrading fro FC5 to 6 are AIGLX desktop effects, rt2x00 wireless/NetworkManager and Xen3.

Well, none of those have actually worked – my Geforce 420Go doesn’t seem to like the new 9629 Nvidia drivers, so AIGLX won’t work – I only just managed to get 8776 to install after faking up a config.h; the Xen kernel seems to break everything – including compiling VMWare; and the rt2x00 drivers compile but don’t seem to work with NetworkManager, or system-config-network for that matter, and made reverting to rt2500 a bitch.
