Woo, that was fun.

I got woken up by the phone again.

I started watching the Robot Wars marathon on the telly, 6 hours of Robot Wars. While I watched these, I'd pause it and muck around with tivo's files, I think I may have a working solution for the files..

Anyway, I went back and forth between watching Robot Wars and extracting/cutting ads/vobbing/mpeg extracting Sabrina episodes.

My mate with the new mobo/cpu/ram/disk called me, with issues with his laptop, the networking won't work on it. Buggered if I know. I suggested he rip out all the network settings, let windows detect the card, and load everything back.

I went back to watching Robot Wars, by this time I was having to fast forward a lot of the talking, I'm not going to get through 6 hours of this otherwise (and there's 6 more hours everyday for the next week, I'll never keep up!).

On the end of one of the episodes, there was a tribute to David Gribble, the driver of the robot "Pussycat". I googled around a bit, he was killed after a motorcycle accident, only 17 years old. Sad.

I went back to watching Robot Wars again

My mate who's place I was at last night called me up to see if I wanted to come to a barbecque in about an hour at his place.

I kicked off Ulead DVD workshop rendering a dvd.

I watched a bit more tv, then I left about an hour later, went to the supermarket and bought some sausages, and headed to my mate's place.

Sat and played GTA again, it's such a cool game, I need to download it for PC.

Some food came out, I went and chatted with the other guests, then we cranked up the barby, hoed into the food, went back to playing GTA for a few more hours, I was the last to leave, at about 11pm.

I came home, and the dvd rendering had crashed. D'oh!

I started it off again (after rebooting), and left it.

I watched more Robot Wars, then I deleted all the Simpsons episodes off the tivo I've seen recently, and changed the wishlist setting to record the Simpsons in medium quality, so I can fit more on there.

I'm off to sleep, I've got a meeting with the network provider in the morning.
