We're now at about 450 and I don't know what else there is to come :-\ Looks like no murloc-killing tonight! *sulks*

Tonight I have reactivated my WoW account. Whether I will use it, whether this is a good thing or not, whether I will get time to play, all are things to be discovered. However, 350+ Megs of patches is really putting a damper on playing it RIGHT NOW!!!!

I also had a talk with "the woman", and complained again about her Internet usage, which extends to such periods of time that it essentially freezes me out and leaves me sat like a lemon while she's pretending to be someone else. It's not just at home, which would be problematic enough at times. We were out with friends at dinner last night and I saw her on her mobile checking something or another earnestly ignoring everything around her. This isn't an unusual event. I'm not quite sure what's so damned important that it can't wait an hour or two.

Life goes on at work. There's another person from GroupTSG who's leaving DM, they are now going to be in a position where they will have no choice but to recruit else they will be short-handed on a ridiculous scale. I'm watching the intranet like a hawk for the advert to go on.

Outside of work, we had our housewarming this weekend, with various of Jane's friends and mono/LJ friends coming. It was a really nice day/night I think. Was lots of work preparing and if I'm going to do the same thing again I'm going to make sure we get proper charcoal, this quick lighting stuff doesn't stay hot for anywhere near long enough! There were buckets-full of Pimms & lemonade, we went through a case and a half of lager, several bottles of wine and a little bit of whisky. I am still, however, finding squished mosquitos all over the walls in various places, the reasons for which I am hesitant to even think about asking.

Hmmm.

What a difference! That extra 256Mb means I can now walk round Ironforge in WoW without having 30 second lag. I can move between ones (instances, flying, portals) without having about a minute for the next area to load up.

I'm truly impressed and much happier :)

Wow, it's quite tremendously impressive. I can see how easy it would be to spend hours just playing...
I wish it didn't cost a monthly fee, but wow :)

And surprisingly, it runs really well on my laptop. I am struggling with some of the controls because of the laptop keyboard - but I may borrow a spare keyboard from work to resolve that little issue...

Thanks to cumbrianheart for all the help. I probably did much more in my hour and a bit than I would ever have done on my own.

Goodnight!
