I didn't wake up until about 11.30. I heard the phone ringing a lot earlier, but I didn't really wake up, and I couldn't be bothered getting out of bed, rushing across the room, to answer the phone, to it just be someone I probably didn't want to talk to, or a wrong number or something.

The decoder was on channel 2, instead of 1. Argh, stupid remote codes still not working.

I got a phone call, my mate's ex girlfriend, trying to get a printer working. I gave her some tips on how to get the drivers for it from the website.

I got up, checked my mail.

I lost that auction for the decoder, outbid by $2.50.

I grabbed $200 cash from the stash I keep at home, the cable I need to send, and my Amex bill.

I went out, went to the bank, deposited the cheque payment for fixing the guy's computer last weekend, withdrew $200.

I came back to the Post Office, paid the bill ($400), and posted the cable off.

While I was there, I decided to check in the chemist for something for my blocked ear. I bought some "Swimmer's Ear" or something.

I went over to McDonalds to get some lunch. While waiting, the guy in Sydney whose computer I tried to fix on my birthday called me. He wanted to arrange getting the PC to me, he wanted to do it on the weekend, when the Cafe is not open.

I told him I would work somthing out and call him back.

I bought my lunch, went and sat outside to eat, and read the paper. I called the Cafe, got the guy in there to check with Centre Management where the Cafe is, if we could get a PC dropped in there on the weekend, and get it from them on Monday morning. He still hasn't called me back.

I then thought that my mate I go to dinner with, who lives just around the corner from the centre, would probably let the guy drop the machine there, I called him, yeah that's fine.

I called the guy back, told him what was going on, he was fine with that, but I don't know my mate's address, only where he lives. I'll have to find out, and call the guy back again later.

I then called my mate's ex girlfriend, to find out how she went, before I get home, have her call me, and ask me to help her, so I have to go out again. She'd had a call from someone else, and had to go out and do something, so she wasn't looking at it, and probably will tomorrow. Whatever.

I came home. I put that swimmer's ear junk in my ear, it did nothing, it just made it sting. My ear is still blocked. Maybe I've got a perforated eardrum or something.

Hmm, the tv signal is still dropping out every noe and then. I went and checked the other decoder, it reckons it's got signal of 85%, which is normal, maybe it's just this crappy old box, but if there's a poor signal, it probably explains why the other box wouldn't lock on to it properly.
