Mission accomplished

Laptop is slowly taking shape.
Had a bit of a shock when I tried to install the driver for my SmartMedia reader, the main reason I bought the desktop, to be able to dl photos when not at home. "This software cannot be installed on this operating system". Checked the sandisk website and found out it isn't supported under XP but found a suggested workaround. That worked. Phew.

Next is to copy some settings files and favourites and the like and then try to network it with my PC. Hm, need a cable (phone type plugs), maybe I can borrow one from work.

Last busy day at work tomorrow, then I'm free for 4 days!!

Weekend!

Right, all the work done and deadlines out of the way.
Plans for the weekend:

Today:
- Go for dinner to the Hopbine with a couple of colleagues, stress relief after a hard week's work.
- Go shopping for the weekend, including ingredients and dippers for Dippadoom™
- Tidy up a bit and wash up, make Dippadoom and wash up again
- Prolly play with the laptop a little and then go to bed at a reasonable time

Saturday:
- Sleep in and relax, start tidying a bit, prepare for party
- Get a network cable from CCS and try linking laptop and PC
- Pick up clawboy42 and drive to Oxford for taimatsu's bday party.
- Have fun at party
- Crash at lanfykins' (if we find the way)

Sunday:
- Drive home from Oxford after having woken up properly
- Start tidying and cleaning properly
- Cook myself some dinner (don't know yet what, probably a huge wok full of stuff that'll last me for Monday as well)
- Fiddle some more with the laptop, read, write downtimes, drink, relax, read, watch TV

Monday:
- Sleep as much as I can
- Hopefully the last bit of cleaning and tidying
- Write downtimes and IC mails (if not already done)
- Fiddle with laptop
- Maybe persuade Robin to a Monkey session

Tuesday:
- Relaxation all round, I hope, more cooking, reading and computing (rewriting and moving photo site etc.)
- pub in the evening?
- go to bed early

Wednesday:
- work
