*snippet* Extremely quick summary: Woke up at 10am after around 6hrs sleep, went shopping with parents, had large breakfast, came back, went to parents house (around 3 or 4pm). Had large amount of Single Malt Whisky (two reasonable sized glasses), had large dinner (jacket spud with beans and cheese), had pudding (pie with custard), had peach drink (mixed with remains of malt whisky), had Burger King Super Cheeseburger. Got home, fell asleep (set alarm just in case I did), woke up at 11pm to turn everything off (lights etc) – have headache: possibly hangover – stomach doesn’t feel too good. Going to sister’s 18th birthday dinner tomorrow night.

Needless to say, no “major” blogging for me until after the meal tomorrow – hopefully in the morning I’ll be able to string together more coherent sentences and write stuff sense make that.

[add: and my main computer is still suffering major technical problems-aargh 🙁 ]

Personal: Technical Difficulties

[Technical Difficulties]As previously mentioned, I’ve been performing a number of upgrades to my machines recently. All of my server ones went without a hitch (and the upgrade to Movable Type 2.6 went perfectly: I even took the time to update few other things in the config, move a few files around, implement ‘close comments’ in my templates and fix a small number of things that have been bugging me: amendment: I’ve just discovered I failed to make updates to a couple of custom MT scripts I’ve created – now fixed) – but the upgrades I performed on my home machine (from OS patches to BIOS upgrades) didn’t quite have the desired affect.

Basically, all this week I’ve been trying to watch series 2 episode 9 (A Bicyclops Built for Two) of Futurama, but every time I tried to do so my computer totally crashed (4 times). Blarg – luckily I only lost unsaved work once. I ended up downloading a copy of the episode of the episode off the computer and playing it through WinAmp3 (which I was using for the original episode) and it worked.

[Guess That Movie Round 26]Kymberlie’s rising in the score chart by adding an extra 95 points to her total by correcting Guessing That the Movie in round 25 was Not Another Teen Movie. She’s just 120 points away from the “500 prize point” – but will anybody guess that movie before her and steel away her points?

Now let’s move on to Guess That Movie Round 26 (that’s XXVI in roman numerals by the way) – here’s a screenshot taken from near the end of a film whose main actor (or actress) was also a main/major actor in one of the previous Guess That Movie featured films. Which round it was or who the actor is, I’m not mentioning: but they are shown in this screenshot! Shame it’s their silhouette!
