Got up, watched tv. Mucked around on the computer. Watched more tv.

Ate some food, realised that I really need to go to the shops and buy food.

Wasted so much time that it got too late (About 2pm) where I wouldn't be at the shops until school got out, and then it would be ful of obnoxious kids.

I watched tv and waited instead.

Tivo went dumb, it partially recorded a show when it could have recorded the whole thing, luckily the rest of the show was still in the live buffer, so I rewound to watch the end of the show, then it went really dumb.. the bar got stuck on the screen, it thought it was rewinding at tripple speed, but it was playing. I couldn't telnet in either. I watched the end of the show, and then I pulled the power out. I took the chance to move the power into a powerboard behind the tv, instead of the annoying extension cord.. ah, the powerboard has one stuffed socket, so I had to swap it out.

I watched some more tv.

At 4.30, when it was supposed to start recording, it didn't change the channel on the sat box, weird.

I looked, I couldn't change it with the proper remote either. I reset the box, it still wouldn't change.

I then noticed the LED that flashes when there is IR hard on, I could use my hand to block it, and then the remote would work.

I managed to change the channel, just in time, luckily the show started 4 minutes late.

I wrote a shopping list, and prepared to leave to go to the shops. I grabbed the tivo serial cable to post. D'uh, I'll need the address it's going to..

I then could not find the shopping list I had written, to write the address on it. I searched everywhere. I then found the list in my back pocket.

I wrote the address down, and rode down to the shops.

I went in, it was 5.10pm, and the post office part of the newsagent was closed, d'oh. There was a woman behind the counter, but because it's a post office, she would have refused to serve me.

I went into the supermarket. I had intended to get a trolley, but I was so annoyed with the post office being shut, and people getting in my way, that I forgot.

I dragged around, got all my shopping, paid, and then came back to my bike.

Just as I gort near, a guy said hello. It was one of the guys who started the ISP I worked for back in 98 and 99.

I gave him a quick update on what was happening, and he told me that if I needed any help with anything, to let him know, that was cool. I might call on him in a few weeks when I'm up, and he can do setups or something, because I'm really not interested in doing it (although I'm sure I will end up doing some).

I came home, loaded the shopping, and sat to write this blog.

There is still some amount of IR flooding in from somewhere, since the IR light on the sat decoder is still on, and all my remotes are having difficulty working properly.
