I spent most of the weekend indoors, working on my telnet client application, missing all the sunshine. Boo! I also wasted a little more time playing around with my computer to try and work out what the hell is wrong with it. I'm reasonably confident it's not a physical problem but some sort of configuration issue. No idea how to diagnose it though. I'm half tempted to buy a new case, build a second machine out of my spare parts, and see what happens. It's beyond frustrating now. 7 months with a broken computer.

In slightly better news, my second Before The Dawn cd arrived today. Hurrah! Thus ends the recent spate of having to wait a month to get cds delivered. I am running out of cds that I want though, so it wouldn't be a problem for much longer anyway.

Today, I nearly got run over, for the 3rd time at a single junction by STUPID DRIVERS. Most often, drivers heading into town turn right when they're supposed to wait for the 'turning right' light. That was what happened the first 2 times, but today someone coming the other way turned left, ignoring the 'do not turn left under any circumstances' sign. I shot him a withering stare as his van came to a halt 1ft away from me in the middle of the road, but I think he was too concerned about the bus that came to a halt about the same distance behind his vehicle as a result of his sudden stop.

Unless that's a specific junction rule, you don't have to wait for the 'turn right' green light: you can go anytime the way is clear of cars, but you have right of way once the light is on.

There is a chance that the light is set up wrongly with a full green light, but it should just be two filter lights, one for straight ahead and one for right. Currently what happens is that cars are turning right when the right-turn filter has just turned off, and the pedestrian crossing is telling people to cross at that point.

Surely you could build about 7 new machines out of all the spare computer parts you've accrued so far? :)

No, 'only' one and a half!
