Claire and I stayed up late and played multiplayer Civilization 3: Conquests together. When the Carthaginians picked on her, I stuck up for her and razed one of their cities. We’re hoping that by working together, we might be able to get a spaceship to Alpha Centauri before 1900.
We played until it started to get light. Then we went to bed and rolled around, laughing. Then we had sex as the sun rose.
A long multiplayer games session followed by a shag. Is there anything more romantic?
Yay! Take a look at this piccy (especially you, Paul).
WTF??? If you go to Symantec’s Online Virus Scanner using most browsers, you’ll be told that you need to use Microsoft Internet Explorer to continue! Isn’t this just asking for trouble? It’s like saying, “Yes, we’ll check your house is secure. Now just unlock your door…”
Just plain weird.
I still can’t get my online bank working. Too close to the deadline to be at this stage. Shit! Shit! Shit!…
Feel like taking part in a sponsored masturbatathon? The internet remains a strange and wonderful place, as this form [PDF] indicates. Go take a look.

The problem with long deadlines is they creep up ever so quickly.
This weekend, I’ll be learning JBoss, Ant, and JUnit, and then writing an an online bank program. Eep.

If you’re interested, you can read the minutes of the incorporation meeting of Peter Huntley Ltd., of which I seem to be a director: Minutes [PDF Format].
I just reached 10,000 words in my disseration (the minimum word limit). Well, 10,003, actually. I’m having a celebratory can of drink and some nice, loud, Goo Goo Dolls.
Speaking of which, I’ve found a great internet radio station that plays all kinds of fab rock music – Radio Oiram, if you’re interested. It’s been keeping me amused while I’ve been hacking away at my diss’. Which is nice.
God, it’s good to be alive.
As The Register reports, a Plymouth child was kidnapped on Saturday by a public convenience. Go read the story.
…and so I recommend you take a break from whatever you’re doing and go play Crimson Room, an online flash puzzle game. Some infuriating bits, but if I can solve it, so can you.
Have fun.

I have heaps of work to do today. Then I’ve got to go home and get heaps of dissertation done.
There’s good news, however: our favourite among the folks who’ve been viewing the cafe under our flat has put a bid in. If everything goes well, he’ll buy it and we’ll still be able…

I’m about a quarter of the way through my dissertation. I have to have it finished, printed and bound by Monday morning.

Yay! Victory for I!
