Weekend update of sorts
Mar. 7th, 2005 05:45 pmThursday:
Visited the london perlmongers pub meet after work, geeked about motherboards and cameras in a pub overlooking Westminster.
Headed up to the Alwyne to see everyone else. Had only eaten a small sandwich, so was possibly rather tipsy after what I think was a total of two, maybe three, beers in the night. Whoops. Went home, slept well.
Friday:
Caught up with
ali_anarres and
uon after work; had a few pints, and this time I'd only had some chips for dinner. Chatted about all manner of things, including genetic algorithms and AI I think. They appeared to be having a minor lock-in at the pub (ie. it was 23:30 and they had drawn the curtains and seemed to be continuing to serve people), but we left; I staggered home and fell into bed, slept well again.
Saturday:
Up fairly bright and early, but dithered a lot before getting to Tufnell Park to help
merlinc and
thamshere move house. Again.
Headed to Camden afterward with Jo & Carrie, where I demonstrated the wonderful coffee shop of doom to them. He wasn't roasting beans at the time we arrived, but the smell was still delightful. He'd remembered to keep one of the Columbian sacks aside for me, too, hurrah. (I hope he realises that the amount of coffee I buy every few weeks is supplying the tech department, and not just myself!)
Wandered down to Euston, then bussed home. Faffed too long then headed to the Mucky Pup just in time to (almost) ruin the surprise party for
vixstar. (I got on the same bus as she).
Headed along to the Liquid Connective trance thing at the Rocket after 11. There was some really nice music playing and everyone was having a good time, but I didn't last thru the night as I was a bit worn out by now, and wanted to be productive on Sunday.
Sunday:
Managed to fix Carrie's PC, and upgraded it too without (AFAIK) breaking it again.
Then headed down to 93' East at Brick Lane to catch up with Jason, Charlie, Dan, Linda, Amy and some others. Saw a few cool film shorts and a couple of bands; never managed to make it out to get food, so once again was probably too tipsy after several pints. Luckily(?) most people were fairly tired after mammoth train delays earlier, and the fact it was Sunday, so headed home relatively early and crashed out in bed.
Slept terribly, and woke up feeling crap with a cold. D'Oh!
Monday:
Have had an entirely unproductive day at work.
Some camera bits I was selling on ebay have gone for less than I was hoping, but still, have added up to enough to pay for the other bits I won.
(Although in theory that money was going towards the new camera, not the new accessories. Whoops.)
