I appear to have got my D-Link DWL-650+ card working in Linux. Took long enough :) Hex editing kernel modules doesn't seem like a sensible answer to me...

When I go to Glasgow on Monday I will try to spod in Starbucks then! Sad. I know I said I'd do it before, but I had no money...

Best go to bed soon, eh?
I would claim I had a long day tomorrow but that's rubbish :) It's mainly going to be spent tidying, washing, and packing clothes. And trying to clear the bedroom so that I can hoover and clean windows and things like that - nothing exciting. Trust me :)

For the first time in about 3 weeks I've slept in, hurrah!

Woke up at about 11am, now on to the boring stuff. Tidy tidy tidy and wash sheets and other such dullities.

Less than one week, 6 days... then everything happens.

Now I'm mad.
I was going to buy pizza at Domino's and couldn't figure out why my card was being declined, since they found the missing cheque and I'm now back under my limit. Spent a while poking round my online billing and then had a sudden thought...

Checked my overdraught limit...
£250
Down from £1,600?!?!

It looks like the person who did my change from a "regular" account to an "additions" account forgot to include my overdraught limit. ARGH! So - what's going to happen about it?

I called the phone banking people only to be told they couldn't put it back on immediately and would have to call me back tomorrow.

( I'm going to start shouting again... )

I've not had a good weekend. I sincerely hope that this week gets better.

Anyone know when Channel 5 bought Robot Wars?

After a day wasted by doing very little, being frustrated and angry, going for a walk and trying to call people who were all busy, damnnit, I came home and did stuff.

Stuff, including...

• Dragging all my clothes out of the closet and throwing old and unused and unfitting stuff into a black bag for charidee donation
• Washing everything that needed doing, including sheets, mattress protector and topsheet - which were getting embarassingly unwashed
• Rotated the mattress
• Moved everything out of the bedroom apart from:
  • clothes
  • Portable stereo
  • Audio Book CDs
• Thrown out a bin bag full of stuff which I am certain had a useful aspect to their belonging a few years ago
• Cooked my beef joint - smells good
• Bought beer (mmm Deuchars IPA) and mince pies on plastic - the great thing about my local Tesco is that they don't do online validation of your debit cards (under a floor limit, I assume) so no matter how skint you are you can always go shopping.
• Relaxed and calmed down a lot
• Talked to my ma, and we shall be meeting up sometime when I get to Glasgow tomorrow.

All in all, quite successful.
