Last night I was trying to install my street directory on CD, but the CD is all scratched, I spent hours trying to copy the files to the hard drive. I got called up about 11pm, my adsl mate, he was with my mate that was in the US (and came back recently, obviously), they were at another mates house (where we had the bbq recently). Did I want to come for a drink?

Yeah, whatever. I was feeling a bit crook, but I thought bugger it.

Got dressed and took off around there. Left the laptop trying to copy the files.

My just sat and drank and chatted for a few hours, I came home just after 4am.

The files were still not copied from the CD. I tried putting it in a different machine, my DVDR drive had real issues with it, and just gave up trying to read it. I put it in my CDR drive, and left it going when I went to bed.

Sat and mucked around on the computer for a couple of hours, and went to bed just after 6am.

I woke up again about 1:15pm. It was hot.

Read email, listened to music, mucked around with the laptop again. It had finished copying the files, finally.

Got hungry, ate marmalade on toast. I need to go to the shops.

I want to know more about this wireless node. I went searching on nodedb, nothing.

I remembered the hard disk out of my friend's laptop I was supposed to be doing something with, I installed it in my computer, and started copying the data off it. Very annoyingly, the only file I can't read is his email inbox. I tried several times, no go.

About 3.30 my mates' ex gf called me, she had the money she owed me for a computer I gave her about 6 months ago. She told me where her new place is, and that I could come get the money about 5pm.

I went back to mucking around with the wireless stuff.

I intended to have a shower, but I didn't get around to it, I'm not big on cold showers.

I left about 5pm, went and found her place, had a chat for a while, fixed her monitor (needed a degauss), and left again.

I went to the shops on the way home, bought junk food and some breakfast cereal.

I went to the bottle shop and bought some grog, and came home.

I bummed around, I drank one of the litres of juice I bought, then I had a rum and coke. I was tempted to just eat chips for dinner, but I instead did something useful, had fish and chips, and did the washing up while I waited.

I ate my dinner, about half way through I got a shocking pain in the stomache.

I decided to watch one of the Indy Jones DVDs I bought months ago, got them out, opened them up.

I booted up 2000 on my machine (after fixing the "software" file that corrupts itself everytime I shut down, quality software), and tried to copy the inbox. no good.

I then got another bad pain.

I went to relieve myself, and was stuck in there for 45 minutes.

I've just run a disk check, "no errors" it claims. Ran it again, checking for bad sectors, still claims "no errors". Now, instead of copying some of the file, and then just clicking the hard disk, it now complains of a CRC error. Great.

I think I'll go to the doctor in the morning, I'm sick of this, and I want to know what it is.
