It’s 7:35am and I’ve already been awake for over an hour. The neighbours thumped around something and woke me up at 5:50am. I had my alarm set for 6am anyway, forgetting that I don’t have to catch the train to Brisbane today and so would have woken too early anyway. I decided to upgrade the AusPUG phpBB forum in the meantime.
For some reason the server rebooted at 2:50am this morning and automatically started one of the TV applications on there, so I woke at 2:52am with a lot of noise. Came out into the lounge and here’s Channel 10 blaring away with it’s infomercials. Argh! I stopped it and went back to bed but when I got up this morning found I wasn’t connected to the intarweb. Since I gave Sienna my last keyboard the server doesn’t have one so I had to reboot the PC to get it to automatically connect to the web. I don’t know how to run drakeconnect from commandline. Haven’t found any info on it. I might have to pop into The Disc Shop this afternoon and pick up a cheap keyboard. Incidentally, when I rebooted it the stupid PC started XawTV application again. Somehow it’s decided to autostart whenever the PC is started.
I took Sienna swimming yesterday. She had a great time going on the frog slide again. We stayed for nearly and hour and came home again for lunch. I thought she’d fall asleep but she wanted to dance around the lounge room again, so puts on a CD in my alarm clock/radio/cd player and tells me to get up and dance. We did that for a while and had some lunch. By 3pm I figured she was getting a bit weary, so we headed to the shopping centre again and I picked up a new mouse. My Evoluent vertical mouse annoys me too much. The mouse pointer jumps around the screen and every 3rd boot of the PC Windows does not even detect a mouse attached. Electronic Boutique still had Logitech MX 510 mice on sale for $40 so I grabbed one of them. The guy was going on about how brilliant these mice are. We had an icecream each then headed back to the car. On the way back home Sienna fell asleep. I knew she would so had already packed her stuff in the car and kept driving past home and up to Rebecca’s place. I dropped off Sienna and took back the TV Card since it was not working there as they have a bad aerial. I set it up again at home and it’s going well. I discovered it has an internal plug for audio so found an old dvdrom audio cable and attached it from the TV Card to my sound card and it worked beautifully! Lucky, since it was not sending audio through it’s Audio Out socket on the back of the card and I didn’t think it was going to work at all.
Today marks the start of a new diet. Wish me luck that I stick to it and do some darned exercise I so badly need to get into shape. Breakfast consists of BiLo Right Start, jam on a slice of bread and half a banana.
