Down the Head Of Steam, Euston Station this evening with pixel_person, mouseboks and Martin. I put the photographer at the pointy end. This would be my favourite from the evening. Ilona and Martin went forth to partake of the inestimable joys of Popstarz; James declined.

The Head Of Steam serves Budvar on tap.

It's been a tiring and painful week. Work sucks and my back hates me. redcountess and arkady are wonderfully cheering, though. Spring is damn fine and would be even better if I could breathe.

Today we bought a PC card DVD drive and a wireless access point. Motorola phone software actually sucks worse than most appliance software and the names of the recalcitrant DLLs are unknown to Google. I'll be hitting it with a hammer tomorrow.

Weekend plans include geeking and housework. A picnic may be in the offing.

You're pretty damned cheering yourself, especially when I'm deprived of sleep and my mood is crashing.

Love you. :-*

Your comment that the Motorola phone software sucks hasnt inspired me much over getting a data cable/software pack for my Motorola C550 phone so I can actually get the imges taken with the camera off the phone (the phone only has a 4096 colour screen, so most images look really pixelated and horrid).

Liz actually got it to work at last, though it took some severe kicking. The software is complete crapware and nowhere near as smart as it thinks it is. No doubt Liz can write a guide to getting the bloody awful thing working. (You force a particular driver against Windows' wishes, then you hit 'ignore' when the application warns you of oncoming doom. Then it works.)

That sounds more promising at least.

It seems my phone is new enough that it's damn hard finding the data cable/phone suite for it atm. I can't be bothered to pay £30 for it!

Most Motorolas take the same cable. We have the software, it may work with yours.

Crucial thing with the software: when it asks you to update over the Net ... DON'T. That's what fucked it the first time and got it complaining of missing functions in DLLs no-one else has ever heard of.
