Yes this week i’ve been impressed I love out new time table because most of its in the labs or 148 woo , Today i laid in bed because I wasnt gonna set off for college until 9 this way its alot better because I should be able to skip some of the rush hour traffic and that I aint got a hour to kill soon as i get to college Downside is that I aint really got to see my gf shelly much this week but we do make use of the time together when we get it so that pretty cool! I went round shellys on sunday to spend some time together it was nice being together and I tried to sort out her PC while I was there but she had some many viruses (180) and so much adware and spware (993) that removing the effected files removed explorer.exe – oops.

I’ve done some minor upgrades to my system this week with a new 160gb SATA (3gb/s) hard drive and putting the old 120gb into my grentz PC and selling the 40gb out of my grentz PC to someone at college. I’m also buliding another system which i will sell in the end I think because i can’t find a decent use for it, I had serveral ideas at first these were:

• Linux webserver – Could use it for developing projects like SysTom or Paid jobs
• Media Center – Required buying decent graphics card and tv card…
• Spare Machine – Would only collect dust…
• Dedicated fileserver – WAP (grentz PC) is now one…
• BETA Tester machine – Not really in many BETA products anymore.

So yeah there some good ideas there but they will either require more money which i don’t like spending or would get bored of using in the end.

Work is going alright this week too whih is good, Ooooh yeah Saturday was interesting because on Wednesday grandad bought a new pump for the front pond so Saturday was my day getting it to fit the orginal system, at first this proved to be abit of a pain because the pipe was too small to fit the pump, but with some inprovisation i managed to get some bits of piping together and make it join to the pipe I added a tap too.

With all that in place it was ready to go put it all together and what happened? the filter floods so it was a good job I added the tap to turn down the pressure few tweaks later its back on without flooding… go me. So yeah thats all really i got a video as normal this one is a little bit wierd
