Sitting right next to my trusty PC, having been opened up and cleaned inside out to get rid of the dust mite haven. Old ragged cloth and water really works well. Just make sure everything’s dry before you put everything back together.
And uh… make sure your climate is humid.
One problem though, caused by something unrelated… While I was busy plugging in an external hard drive to copy Smallville seasons 1 and 2 for colleague, I managed to short my old JVC hi-fi. That’s what you get for trying to unplug stuff while the gangplank is turned on. The hi-fi’s power cable wasn’t hooked in well enough, and every bit of movement made it trip.
It took 3 successions of trips to kill it.
So here I am without sound. With 2 seasons of Smallville and 4 episodes of Beck to watch.
Sigh. Oh well, it’s time for a new amp. The JVC was bit too bulky anyway. Gotta find something nice but affordable for the sole purpose of relaying bits of audio. Maybe I’ll get another for my TV even. And maybe a set of rear speakers too!
Ahh.. wish I had more money to play with.

bangsar.net originally reported that the badger song was mentioned by Merv, but it was really Az^1 who introduced the song to the gang. We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Merv asked me to visit www.badgerbadgerbadger.com a while ago, but I kinda forgot about it.
Having seen it a while ago, it’ll haunt me for the rest of the year.
Now in screensaver version. The critters shall spread. To the office.
The office has been rather quiet lately. Everyone’s either down at the Phase 2 workshops or within the payroll chaos in HQ. I’ve been running around in between, getting work done or consulting the payroll consultant or catching a few quick power naps.
I need a bigger pillow.

to madness.
This country is home to a whole lot of people with poor lane control. Inconsiderate, single-minded, and blind, they’re the main cause of stress, high blood pressure, and manic depression.
However, they give rise to another class of drivers: skilled and alert, keeping them alive during the 2 or so hours they have to endure daily.
I think I’m part of the latter. 
Back at work, having misunderstood SAP Payroll’s default behavior when it comes to dealing with financial postings for retiring staff, we were stuck with about 50 odd people who weren’t paid this month.
It pretty much messed up my mahjong last night.
Luckily today things went better than expected, having solved the ordeal somewhat. And lo and behold, a long weekend.
It’s been a long time coming.
