Xmas revisited

My new Xmas present from work just got delivered:

SHINY BLUE LED JOY!

Extra geeky joy points for finding out that it can be run either in full binary mode, with the display running horizontally, or in binary coded decimal with the display running vertically.

Sadly it's really small, I thought it was going to be about four times this size, but anyway, it's still very shiny. I tried explaining to my boss how to tell the time with it, and he looked very confused and slightly pained. :)

LJ oddness

LJ seems to be logging me out a lot lately - whenever I change computers, for instance. I've also heard that people with underscores in their usernames have been having very serious problems staying logged in, and I've had several anon comments in my journal this week that sound like they shouldn't have been anon. It's probably worth keeping an eye on your 'logged in' status to make sure you don't miss any friends-only posts etc. I'm guessing these problems are all knock-on effects from the recent DNS changes to make shorter URLs throughout the site.

Stuff and Things...

Gym yesterday evening and again this evening. Yesterday I did loads more than my plan says, I just felt up to it and it went fine - felt fine this morning too. Today I did a tiny bit more than the plan, but tried not to get over-excited and do too much as I think I'll probably be feeling a few aches tomorrow from doing two days in a row.

After yesterday's session I was definitely on an endorphin high, which is a really odd sensation that I don't think I've ever noticed having before... a kind of 'body happy', with no emotional or intellectual basis. Lasted about two hours, I think, although it was most noticeable for the half hour after I got home. I can see how people could get into chasing that sensation, but it's a bit subtle for my tastes.

The eating better half of the plan didn't do as well last week as the week before, but I still haven't eaten any ready meals and hardly any chocolate. I am eating cinnamon whirls from the bakery near work almost every day though, so the latter probably isn't that impressive :) I also had pizza one night last week and a (10 quid, real meat) burger another night. Other than that it's mostly been fresh pasta with various sauces, and pasta salad things with fish or chicken from M&S in the day. Hardly ate any fruit last week, must remember to go shopping and buy a load more, for snacking on both at home and at work.

Um, this concludes today's boring update from the Campaign for a Healthier Denny. As you were.


PS: this CD is brilliant, dunno why it had moved out of the stack of stuff I listen to regularly. *bounces*
