Last night Rob came round, Ali cooked food, and then Rob installed Windows XP onto the other PC (not Brian) and I watched. Probably the most fun anyone's ever had installing Windows XP. ;)
In other news, I went into uni today. Took back the last of the mineral identification books (glad to see the back of them), saw if I had any post, pestered the people in the computer centre about Excel. I kind of need it for my dissertation. Unfortunately, unlike all the other software (the GIS stuff etc.), it's not licensed so that they can give it out to students. Drat! I can get Office for XP with a discount, though, so I might do that. Although it could arrive a bit late. Depends whether their 28 days is a really conservative estimate.
And then I went to see my dissertation supervisor. He was busy (he always is), but he talked to me about it all for a while. And he made the office staff sort out copies of all the third year students' ceramics projects. I'm collating the information, you see, and comparing it with other things. Which is what I need the spreadsheets for. See, it all makes sense. :)
It's kind of fun having the copies, they have the marking sheets with all the comments and, erm, marks on them. I was pleased to see that no-one had as high a mark as I had for my third year ceramics project. Mwahahaha. But that was oddly high. And the comments were really enthusiastic. Made me think I was destined to collate pottery data forever. Hee...
That was what I did this afternoon, then, went through them all. And I made a mini spreadsheet with Works. Definitely not as good as Excel. :(
Oh, and by that time it was about 4pm, so I had a quick go with Star Wars Galaxies. I wandered around aimlessly, chatted to a big wookie guy (who laughed at me - in a nice way - when I acted really confused) who directed me to the cantina, and I did a bit of dancing and tried playing the slitherhorn. I'm a novice entertainer, which is probably not a good idea... I can't really figure out how to advance my career. Oh well. I'm a wookie, you see. A lady wookie called Fyrrra, because I don't have imagination and all my online names are based around Fiery Fred. :)
Hmm... that's about it. It's very hot here. Too hot.
I'm going now. Bye!
I have been mostly.... WATCHING (tv): neighbours (bbc 1) / LISTENING: rhythm bandits (junior senior); four minute warning (mark owen); maybe tomorrow (stereophonics)
