A connection inside my computer isn't working and if I open the case I'll void the warranty, so I have to send it to the shop for a fix.

So today I'm franticly trying to back things up before I ship to the warehouse for tec. support. (Support being a relative term because they only work 9am-5pm and never on public holidays), and I realise that DUH I'm not going to be able to back up properly because my burner is no longer communicating with the other drives.

Thus I will spend my night compressing and up-loading vital files to my webhost and crossing my fingers that the 'fix' doesn't involve a wipe. That would suck.

Best Mate and I went out for a post-Easter catch up last night. It was great seeing her, although she was in a funny mood due to some lover-related issues. I love her, and would die for her, but she drives me to distraction with her analysis of all the relationships in her life. She's doing a test with everyone at the moment to see if people actually call her or if she's the only one doing the work to maintain a friendship. I can see where she's coming from, but I do think she'll freak herself out and it's a situation with major fight potential because she'll get resentful if someone doesn't call during her test period. Ack - her issues not mine. Besides I've passed so I'm not in any trouble LOL.

Vinnny's http://www.vinnies.org.au/ benefited from my long weekend. I finally bagged up all my old books, clothes, toys, assorted stuff and ran them down to the donation bin, and yes I made extra sure that I put the gear INSIDE the bin so it didn't get ripped off. A person's got to be really low to steal from a charity, but there are low people out there.

I wanted to get rid of my old CDs at cash converters but my sister wants to raid them first so that'll have to wait.

It was refreshing to see my carpet after so long being surrounded by boxes and gladbags http://www.glad.com/ , I celebrated with a chocolate bunny.

I don't know what's going on with spam lately but this trend of masking with a plausible name and silly subject question is getting really old. Here's a clue guys, unless I have a mate called Zackary Gregory (and the parent's would have been twisted to do that to the poor mite), I'm probably not going to check the subject. Then if by some wild twist of fate Zack is actually my friend he wouldn't be for five more minutes if he sent me a whiney email with 'why don't you like me' as the subject.

God, spammers are just strange, but even stranger are the legislators here in Australia who think they can actually make the practice illegal. Giggle, Giggle, Snort.

Yeah that's going to happen!
