I called my mate, and asked if it was ok for me to install his pc and phone tomorrow.

He told me he'd leave the door open, I could come and do the work, and then lockup when I leave.

I started working on his pc, very nice, easy, uneventful.

Partitioned the hard disk, installed 2000, installed the video drivers, motherboard drivers, modem drivers, dvd software, cd burning software. Put on the applications I like to install. All done.

While I was waiting for the machine to run disk checks, I started building the first server.

Very nice case, it would want to be, for the price paid. Mounted all the components.

I finshed setting up the machine for my mate, packed it all up, and dragged the server into place.

Configured the BIOS, and the RAID. Now I need the Debian ISOs.

I called my mate, to ask if he could download them for me, since he's got ADSL, and there is a mirror available where it doesn't count on your download. He was out, but told me that they weren't available anymore. Hmm. I said I would be out later, and might pop in.

I fiddled around with the machine, booting up my knoppix disc, it wouldn't run properly. I turned the memory back to 166 from 200, and it worked. Hmm, might have to investigate that more fully when I have a proper install.

The guy I'm going to work with called me, to tell me that he was going out. I said I would go and see him tomorrow night or something, he started telling me what time he gets back, then he remembered that he's not going to work tomorrow, so anytime during the day is fine. I told him I would see him tomorrow afternoon, after I install the PC.

I looked to see if the Debian ISOs were available on the ADSL. They are, but not where they used to be, in a new files area, that only started a couple of weeks ago.

I bummed around for a bit, I was hungry. I decided I would go and see my mate, try and get him to download the files for me, then go and get something to eat.

I went around, dropped his helmet off, he was playing some war game. I sat around for a while, watching a nature documentary that someone had put on.

After about 40 minutes, they wandered outside for a smoke, I had a quick chat, and then said I was hungry, and took off.

I went to KFC for a change. They had a couple of teenyboppers serving, and all the most useless people queued up when I got there.

I eventually got my food, sat and ate it, and then came home.

I sat and watched tv, I haven't watch much tv at all recently. Tivo is filling up.

My mouth tastes like congealed fat or something, gross.

I half feel like ringing the solicitor, telling him not to bother with the meeting, and just never having anything to do with any of those people ever again, but, I think I need to, at least then, if I do contact Industrial Relations, or start legal proceedings to sue for defamation, then I've made an attempt to negotiate things before hand.
