I've foolishly upgraded from Ubuntu Intrepid to Jaunty and, as usual, wifi's stopped working. "wlan0: disassociating by local choice (reason=3)" — what are these reasons, and where are they documented? This is an Intel iwl3945, an appallingly standard wifi adapter that should Just Work. At least my earlier network problems appear fixed.
The Stranglers' Black & White has brilliant music and the most appallingly misogynist lyrics. I was going "WHAT. WHAT." Obtained from secretlondon, who's just the socialist feminist I'd not expect to have several Stranglers albums. At least it's a good record. Highly recommended if you can ignore the words.
I was going to hit the pub this evening but suspect a family evening in is just fine. Date with nyecamden tomorrow and pub and collect PC from
pndc and
elpenguin during the week. Maybe Bisexual Underground on Tuesday, who knows. PARTY ON.
The toilet floor is collapsing due to rising groundwater (what is it with bathroom extensions in the UK?) and we need to tidy the house and call the landlord promptly. I have a nasty feeling the floorboards are only being held in place by a giant mushroom.
I've eaten an entire Green & Black's dark chocolate egg and feel rather unwell. Good thing I'm 42 and definitely old enough to know better.
