Figured I should blog - we bought a new Medion Netbook and I'm trying it out. It's pretty cool but oddly hard to type on the slightly smaller keyboard. Also some of the keys are a bit squished up. But all things considered it's very neat. Ever since I bought my first laptop, Brian, almost ten years ago I've thought Medion PCs were good. Brian still works, though some of his keys aren't very responsive. But they seem like decent PCs. Plus they're cheap and they give you all the discs with the software on, unlike some people...

Probably lots of things have happened since I last blogged. Mainly it's been taken up with stress and people being ill. Rob's still coughing from his germs, and I caught some germs and was off work for a few days. I've been back at work since Tuesday though still headachey and a bit coughy. But hey. It probably wasn't Swine Flu. There are a lot of germs around at the moment. :)

Watched a lot of Stargate lately. While I was ill I realised I hadn't watched Series 10 - had forgotten I'd been given it! So I've watched most of that now. And I'm still enjoying Stargate Universe, though it's pretty slow going. And I wish there were some proper aliens. From what they said there won't be - Stargate's always been best with a good bad guy (if that's not a contradiction in terms!) like the Goa'uld or the Wraith. Oh well. Telford is so evil. Booo!!!

The germs prevented us from going to a firework display for November 5th so we bought some rockets and sparklers and had a display in the garden. Ali, Mat and her sister came, and my brother John was there too. Felt ill by the end of it but it was good fun.

We bought the Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition (John has our original copy), which has all the addons. Tried playing the Point Lookout addon though I think perhaps it would be easier at a higher level (went there at level 6) with better gear! I may have to leave and return later.

Anyway, should probably go and make lunch etc for tomorrow...
