Assorted news and thoughts
Jul. 15th, 2007 12:01 pmThe new computer is going ok, with just 2 exceptions. Firstly, I got myself a new CPU cooler and fan, but I can't attach it, as I seem unable to remove the existing one. I unclipped it at both sides, pulled... and it still felt very firmly attached. I wonder what I'm missing. The other problem is that my Kubuntu 6.10 partition is almost completely useless since it failed to detect my on-board network adapter, so no internet access at all. Do any of you Linuxy types have any idea what I'm supposed to do here? (EDIT: I found a compilable driver for the adapter. Unfortunately it won't compile without what looks like the kernel headers, and I don't know how to get those when the Add/Remove Software program seems to rely on an internet connection. AARGH!)
I'm trying to expand my musical horizons into new and less well known bands at the moment, so perhaps in the future![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
synphony won't be able to mock me for not knowing certain 'underground' bands who appear on the cover of Terrorizer magazine the next month. Since I seem to have a reputation for liking 'doom' I figure I should have more of it than just the obvious bands, so picking up stuff like Keen of the Crow, Funeral, and Mistress of the Dead is enlightening. I also put in a similar order to Plastic Head (more Keen of the Crow, Saturnus, and Canaan interestingly), which I expect to arrive some time in September. :P
Nothing much else has happened - work is ok, social life is minimal, health is acceptable (put on 3lbs a mere week after losing 6lb - strange), the band situation should pick up next Sunday, I still have no shelves at home, and that's about it. Looks like Wacken has sold out so my plan of making it to either Graspop or Wacken or both has failed miserably, which doesn't make me too happy. Oh well.
