It is (was) 12:21 am. I have just arrived back from cycling from the girlfriends from dinner, friends, the smoke free pub, and fixing the girlfriend's computer. Guess which of those five to six things have been least fun.
The essential problem with the girlfriends computer is that it wants to get on the house's wireless network, which is secured in a way Windows XP service pack 1 doesn't understand. So you drop the wireless down on another computer, spend ten minutes getting it online, spend another hour or two downloading service pack two, install service pack 2, restart, watch it crash, watch it crash, watch it crash, restore it back to service pack 1 levels, cry a bit, and give up. And so forth. You don't really care about the details. Needless to say, the Mac's are better than Window's thought's I've been encouraging on this website shall carry on being encouraged.
And then cycling home. It's fine till you get to Pentonville road (hotel!) and then find that you can't turn onto it in the direction that you want. And then you find, that all along the ring road you need to travel upon, you're not allowed to turn right. The way to turn right, is to turn off left and hope you can find the right right turns to make to get you back onto the correct road that leads across the ring road. Obviously you don't find the correct road, because there seems to be no need to signpost it and you end up horribly lost somewhere in Bloomsbury's back streets occasionally seeing the street you want pass by at the end of a wrong way road. Eventually you find yourself back on the ring road a block further down than when you started still not being able to turn right, so you get off your bike, push it over the road at a pedestrian crossing and carry on, ruefully thinking how much time you'd have saved if you'd have done this earlier.
The point; don't try to fix windows while trying to make a right turn on a bike in central London I guess.

You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!
A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.

I enjoyed that story. I like your final though/moral of this story.
And big up the Mac! They're so much better than stupid Windows computers :D
