Updatey-ho.

[denny]

Lately there have been dozens of things I've meant to post about and I haven't got around to it. Mostly due to my terrible memory - I can think of something 2 minutes from my front door when I'm walking home, and it'll still be forgotten before I've got in, let alone booted up the PC (I'm still not leaving it on 24/7 like any rational household does, due to the dodgy power around here... must buy a UPS).

Speaking of computers and dodginess, another reason for not posting has been the various PC problems I've had lately - including most recently, the ADSL part of my local exchange blowing up or burning out or something, Thursday lunchtime. Due to the rather unhelpful hours that my ISP offer official phone support, I couldn't report this until Friday morning, and BT didn't fix it until sometime this weekend (not sure exactly when, as I was at the filmfest in 'nam for most of the weekend).

Speaking of computers, I have a Socket 939 motherboard and two 512MB sticks of DDR400 RAM for sale if anyone wants them - motherboard is brand new, used for about 2 hours (enough to figure out that my problem wasn't my old motherboard), comes with box, manual, etc. The RAM has been in use for a year or so.

In less geeky news, my girlfriend has a new boyfriend (fsvo 'new' - they've been faffing around being not quite officially in a relationship for some time now). This means I have the usual 'OMG what did I just agree to?!?' jitters, despite having spent quite a lot of the last few weeks encouraging them both in the right direction :) Emotions eh?

The 'nam filmfest was good (with the exception of 'Goth', courtesy of ninjagirl, which was every bit as bad as promised and therefore good in its own very special way). It's really weird how tiring it is to sit around and watch movies for two whole days though - I'm exhausted, feel like I've skipped a night's sleep.

Why doesn't LJ have a 'mixed' mood?

Very much in agreement here. I think it's the lack of fresh air, though we did all get some when you arrived I supposed.

I really must buy some pegs...

Heee, you beat me to it :) I did check to see whether you'd updated before you posted; great minds :)

I love you lots. And lots. And I think this will work. And I'll see you tomorrow and hopefully be able to assuage the immediate jitters, to some extent? Or at least distract you from them ;) *kiss*

I hope you didn't mind my posting before you? I figured it wasn't real until one of us did it, and you two were probably busy ;)

*holds you close*

Not at all :) I'm actually gratified that it's enough of a thing to be worth blogging about. And I'm amused that we managed to post at the same time.

On the one hand, wondering whether I'd upset anyone by posting meant I was kind of distracted last night, in a very lame way, but on the other I'm glad that our versions went out simultaneously so no-one had the chance to leap to conclusions. I love you :)

Was great to see you, shame it was so brief :) Hopefully see you again soon!

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Yes, exhausting. Glad to see you though - that was fun. Although perhaps next time we should have a BBQ or otherwise spend some of the time in daylight :)

[ev1ldonut.livejournal.com]

Most definitely! A BBQ may also satisy kissycat1000's meat cravings... ;)

"Why doesn't LJ have a 'mixed' mood?"
It's too young to have reached latency yet, so hasn't really started to navigate it's psychodynamics to move from the schizoid position to the depressive.

It's a psychotherapy joke, I'll explain it some time when you don't need a laugh.

Do you know how much you want for the motherboard & ram or are you hoping that someone will come up with a figure so you don't have to? :)

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

Yes :-P

The motherboard cost £40 new, I believe the RAM would cost itro £60 new (£30 each).

[hythloday.livejournal.com]

Would you consider an offer of £80 cheeky? Feel free to haggle if you think it is. :)

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't ask you for that much :) I'll consider them yours then?

[hythloday.livejournal.com]

Yes please. :)

Why doesn't LJ have a 'mixed' mood?
How about "indescribable"?

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

I do use that one, but it doesn't mean the same thing. I can usually describe mixed, it just might not fit in the box :)

[hythloday.livejournal.com]

I think it doesn't have a mixed mood because you're meant to blag your every thought as you have it. :)

[skorpionuk.livejournal.com]

You know you can use multiple moods, just leaves you picking an icon to go with it.
