Palfrey's life

Went to asleep about 05:35 BST, 16/4. Alarm was set for 10, I've just woken up (w/o external influence) at 09:20-something. So that's a sub 4-hours sleep time... not so good. I think I may regret this later. Oh well, for the difference of 30 mins, it's probably a lor better for me to wake up when my body wanted to, as opposed to when my little bastard of an alarm goes off. Oh, note to self: replace watch. The "Light" button got melted by too long under a lamp, and now it's all deformed.

I'm desparately hoping that both the Tom Waits CD for my brother and my parents computer stuff (XP/office XP/new hdd) all turns up tommorow, 'cause otherwise I'm rather fucked, as I'm going home tommorrow.... ok, having just checked things - play dispatched the CD 3 days ago (no sign, postal service....) and tracking from scan to citylink says that they had the parcel scheduled to get delivered yesterday... oh yay, i'm not exactly filled with confidence. /me preps the heavy-duty LART.

Meant to be going over to Dan's in a while (get there for ~11, kick his arse lots, eventually get working in a few hours after that) and help him finish the last of his SI. given this consists of 2 phases 1) write a process creation stage - not that bad and 2) debug the fucking thing - evil as hell in a system where writing your own debuggers is kinda necessary.... but OTOH if I can help him get rid of this bastard today, then that's definately a good. I think I'm gonna need the drink tonight that I figured yesterday I was gonna need.

Rang Citylink - stupid delivery company that can't find an address local to them.... silly monkeys. Might get delivered today. Must continue reading "On Basilisk Station" - it's most cool.
