I got up at some point this morning.

I ate some rice bubbles for breakfast.

My mate called me with tech calls again, some idiot user's mailbox was full, and Lookout couldn't handle downloading his mail, what a surprise. Very celeverly, someone decided to login to the webmail interface, and delete the large mails, while Lookout was still trying to download, this resulted in the mailbox being emptied, I assume either because the message order was changing, and the wrong emails got deleted, or because 2 things were modifying the mailbox at the same time it got corrupted and qmail or sendmail or whatever mail server is on there trashed the mailbox.

I watched some tv, there was a comedy show Tivo had recorded, it had a funny clip in it, containing the exact car one of my mates used to own, I digitised the clip, and emailed it to him.

I went to my mate who just got Foxtel installed's place. I took my Phoenix programmer and some software.

I grabbed the red card out, read off the hsn, noticed the card locking value was not set on the card, weird. I made a card that should work.. yep, but it won't update.

I thought that since the card locking value wasn't there, maybe it wasn't locked, I made another card, with just normal autoupdating details on it.. bang, it worked. Groovy, now I don't need to worry about constantly fixing this card when it fails to update.

It seems really strange that a brand new install wouldn't be card locked.

I stayed around here for a while, they gave me lunch, that was nice, I had a Margarita, and a Martini after that, it was a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon.

I popped in to see my adsl mate on the way home, he wasn't home, so I left there.

I popped in to the bottle shop around the corner on my way from there, grabbed a six pack of Rum and Cokes, I'm just finishing my third now.

I watched a bit of tv. I listened to some music. I decided I really need to start processing all the files on my Tivo before it fills up.

I'm now crusing around looking for some good Mpeg2 software, I want to be able to edit the Tivo streams, I'll need to chop bits out (the ads) and then recompress the clips a bit smaller, since even with ads cut, they end up being about 1gb each, and I would like to be able to fit more than 4 episodes on a dvd.

This is a whole new thing, dvd editiing/authoring, I need to do a lot of reading, I can tell.

Oh well, I'll have to go to bed very shortly, I need to be up early in the morning to go to 50 different places tomorrow, and my Duran Duran marathon has just finished anyway.
