I guess it nice to know we're all real people with real lives :)

(Note to self: Get off butt and do something while the weather's good!)
Usually...yes drastically....

Lately however I haven't been on perdiod...one thing I hate about summer...

It's been like 30+ C for the last 2 weeks almost consistently...it's 45C in my bedroom on with the computer running...just un-bareable heat...so eveything stays off...

It's only the middle of July too :(

I love summer but jesus I need AC...as in Air Conditioning not Ambush Commander :P

I have two reasons for not posting at the weekend:

1) I'm still awaiting for the awesomely inept Telecom Italia to install broadband at home
2) My missus objects to me "playing on the computer" at the weekends, prefering that I iron my socks, order my clothes alphabetically, count the cups in the kitchen, or anything in fact that keeps me away from the computer. She truly is the Giver of Pointless Tasks.

So... only Monday to Friday for me.

I wish it was that easy for me. I bring in some money on the side with prog jobs here and there, but it always seems to come with a price... :roll:
