The lesser mabinogion
From the monthly archives: October 2004
not much to say really, but I figured I’d better think of something, or I’ll risk this place stagnating too much…so this is what I did this weekend…
Emma invited herself and Caitlin round to play Fable on Friday night….but she brought alcohol, so that’s ok…
Usually I go to their place for dinner [...]
I had the experience this evening of talking Caitlin through a problem she’d had with her computer over the phone…
She was messing around in MS Paint and wanted to change the page layout to landscape – she’d done that before on other computers and it had worked fine. But on hers, it didn’t [...]
Well, I now finally have my car hire details for my NZ trip. I was getting worried there for a bit, because there’s only two more working days before I’m gone.
I’d been going back in to Flight Centre regularly to see if they had it yet (Not that I mind an excuse to [...]

Well, yesterday I finally faced up to something that has been hanging over me for a few months…
I went to JB Hi-Fi in the city.
Fortunately it was not as traumatic as I thought it would be. Your eyes were assaulted with that awful yellow and black everywhere you looked, and [...]
Picked up Fable yesterday, and am likely to lose myself in it very soon. I’ve done a few hours so far, and it’s pretty much what I expected, and doesn’t take itself too seriously either.
I suspect that those who have been disappointed spent too much time listening to Microsoft’s marketing, and not enough time [...]
back to work tomorrow…bah.
The trouble with long weekends is that just when you start to get used to them, they’re over.
Mind you, I pretty much slept through Saturday, so it’s more or less been a normal weekend shifted over by one day…heh.
Sunday I did my bit for the national personal [...]
