Back
July 28th, 2004 | Filed under Personal, Technology.I’ve done four loads of washing, thrown everything off the floor onto the beds of the people who’ve appeared in my room, and I hid until after dinnertime just to make sure I didn’t have to work :)
Things are now either dry or drying, my computer has its DVDROM drive back now I’ve got an IDE cable for it, and I’ve got an application form for my Mountain Leader assessment. All I need to do for that is do three more wild camps. For my SPA I need to do 8 or so more climbs. It’d be nice to get to a small crag with 10m climbs on it and race up them. Finding such a crag that isn’t gritstone and is in Scotland is mighty tricky. Can’t wait until I’ve finished my SPA assessment so I can go off multipitch climbing again.

Weirdness
Writing CDs on my PC seems to make things go a little mental. I guess my PC can’t really handle a 56x CD writer, even typing this text is lagged. Earlier my PC shut itself down and turned off!

My PC wasn’t on its battery! All that’d happened was it couldn’t cope with reading the serial port and writing a CD at the same time. For some reason my PC must have received mangled UPS info and turned itself off.
Bit of a pisser considering I was writing a CD at the time!
