I've not so much as booted a computer for over two weeks now, so naturally I get a BSOD first thing. Sigh. Just Bill's way of reintroducing me to Windows.
2822 emails in my in-box, and Bloglines has 2607 blog entries for me to read. This could take me the rest of the week...
Oh, yes, I had a lovely holiday. Thanks for asking. How was yours?
Posted to Apropos of nothing by Simon Brunning at January 05, 2004 09:12 AMNot bad, although I was back at work on Friday. Which had the benefit of an empty office and a monthly travel pass at last year's prices. Not to mention avoiding the hideous queues at the ticket office this morning.
Oh, I did cook Christmas lunch for eleven people, and I still haven't recovered. But apart from that lovely. Did I mention that I got a Gameboy Advance SP (finally)? Game recommendations gratefully receieved ...
Posted by: Andy Todd on January 5, 2004 10:45 AMEleven people - good effort.
GBA games - Advance Wars cannot be missed. I've got the first one, and not finished with it yet - but I'll be getting the second eventually.
Doom. Just 'cos it's Doom, really, but it's a good conversion.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is pretty good. I'm playing that at the minute. I also toy with Zelda: A Link to the Past, but it's not as adictive as the Zelda game on the original Game Boy all those years ago.
Posted by: Simon Brunning on January 5, 2004 10:53 AMWhat is it with computers? I came back to my 'work' one after Christmas break and it locked up on me on boot-up. It's taken till now, with various iterations of rebooting with removing & replacing cards to get back to a stage where XP finds & uses the 2 displays on my G450 graphics card... It had defaulted in safe mode to a fixed freq card that was in there from W2K usage. XP doesn't recognise/use it normally, although it was able to use it in 'Safe'. I even know it's not been used in the meantime, as it's in my home 'office'!
Posted by: Gwyn Evans on January 5, 2004 10:58 AMI'm back too - to more depressing problems this morning. Oh, and your site seems a little strange under firebird since the holidays - the sidebar is appearing under the main posts. Looks fine under IE though.
Posted by: sam on January 5, 2004 11:08 AMopps - the sidebar looks odd under IE 6.0 too.
Posted by: sam on January 5, 2004 11:08 AMThe sidebar looks odd because there aren't enough posts on the home page. Its a result of using CSS for the layout, the same thing happens on my page.
I'd give it a couple of hours and then Simon will have posted a few more entries and everything will look correct again.
