Been a few days

Hello again. What's been happening? Well, I've taken up golf again. One of my friends called me a 'corporate whore' which amused me slightly. I found a driving range in the middle of London, in Regent's Park. It all sounded too good to be true and indeed was. It's miles from any tube station (the guy on the desk told us that St. John's wood was closer but too complicated to explain. We did point out we had degrees and it couldn't be that hard but I think he meant it was too complicated for HIM to explain). It was all nets as well so you can only see the ball going about 10 metres. Never mind, may be going to a course we found tomorrow.

What else? The Winter Olympics started, that's always something good to see - probably the only time I'll watch skiers! :o) Oh my hard drive died. I bought a new one, 300Gig for 65 quid. It arrived and I went to plug it in. There was no IDE connection, just something I've never seen. No one told me about Serial ATA! Anyway, after a quick trip to Tottenham Court Road I have a PCI SATA card and all work! Fast as well.
