Jan. 16th, 2007 07:51 pmToday I bought a Samsung YP-Z5 mp3 player, after many weeks of deciding whether I needed one or not. (I don't.) It was quite hard to find anything that could play .ogg files and didn't come from the Unholy Triumvirate of Creative, Apple, or Microsoft, so my choices were narrow anyway. Still, things looked particularly auspicious when I told the salesman which one I wanted, and after rummaging around through his stock, he replied "I'm sorry sir, we only have them in black, is that alright?" Yes, that is Alright.
Mirth continued when I got the package open, and saw the installation cd, which is also black, and bears this slogan:
Immense.
Nothing of worth has happened recently. I've not been posting here because there's been nothing to talk about, to my intense dissatisfaction. I went out on Friday and hated it, then stayed in over the weekend and hated that too. I did get some work done on one of my web development projects though, which goes to show I really need 4 or 5 uninterrupted hours on anything to get into the flow of it.
In the news, we hear that several terror suspects have fled from their pseudo-house-arrest, and several more are in court over failed explosions. Hopefully this will dampen the occasional claim of "no-one's actually been found to have done anything wrong yet, so we don't need any further erosion of civil liberties". I'd like my liberty to use public transport without being blown up by fanatics to remain uneroded, thankyouverymuch. Recent events also show that stupid people do stupid things to win unnecessary consumer goods for their kids, and that other stupid people are sometimes racist. That's not so much 'news' as 'olds' though.
