Ok,
first time ever I’ve missed a flight because I was too pissed to wake up in the morning. Let’s recap, I went drinking with fintan and lester in sydney, and left them at about 12.30 in the morning to get back to home. Of course, I got mega mega sidetracked getting back to the accommodation – I was giving ego advice to a bunch of goths – being drunk, I’m sure they appreciated it for what it was – drunken advice. I was woken in the morning by a thumping on the door – didn’t I have a flight to get and I was supposed to be checking out – they never talk to you except to throw you out.
What did I forget? my shampoo and conditioner. I now have to go find the bloody stuff again before my hair turns into a tangled mess. Maybe it’s time to get it cut – Liz’s input at this stage would be a resounding yes!
Of course, I’m sitting in the airport thinking… should I check my work email or not. This is of course rhetorical – the next time I expect to look at it is between the 25th and the 31st of December.
Like anyone cares
Wheee…. the holiday has started. I’m in the transfer lounge of Heathrow waiting to board a flight to Kuala Lumpur.
I so need this holiday.

Crashie crashie mp4 videos
I’ve been able to play one MP4 video on the PC per boot of windows. Every subsequent time it crashed. It turns out that the intervideo mp4 video decoder was at fault. It was preventing me from enjoying the stalker trailer that gleb pointed me to.
The Solution? unregister the intervideo mp4 decoder.
How do I do that? pop up a command prompt using the run dialog, on the drive that you installed the intervideo software cd to \Program Files\InterVideo\Common\Bin. At the prompt type: regsvr32 /u MP4VDEC.ax, and it all works job oxo.
Thank crap
Well I’m glad that I’ve got to the end of half-life 2. maybe now I won’t be hearing the troubled breathing of combine troops any time it gets quiet.

Design your own covers for your cigarette packets. It’s an interesting idea.
‘medium security’
One of these days I’ll actually pay attention to stuff like this by default – it turns out that you can run unsigned .NET code from the internet by default. under medium security settings in IE. I need to test this out as it makes for interesting possibilities.
warning messages
They should put a nice warning when you log into a solaris box that killall on linux and solaris are entirely different commands.
Laame, if it was meant to be the same, then they would have used the same operating system.
calling it quits
Well it’s early in the morning and I feel I’ve made some progress in half life 2, so I may as well get some sleep. Nothing too taxing in the difficulty so far – a few traps a nasty helicopter. I like the way the starting animation for the game is dependent in where you’ve progressed to during the game – if it was static then it wouldn’t be as good.
Half Life 2
It’s fun. I can’t believe that one of the mad scientists has a headcrab as a pet Talking about silly. They’ve really taken out all the stops in this one. And in case you’re wondering; No I was not up until 4am playing the damned game.
