General - Not Foolin

April fool’s day it maybe, but it’s no fun sitting in the waiting room on platform 6 of Sheffield station with Spandau ballet’s ‘True’ playing on the music system. This would be bad enough under any circumstances, but the damned disc is stuck on the lyric ‘and now I’ve come back again’. This has been going on for the last 10 minutes. Still the bacon and tomato bread cake makes the layover worth wile as I’m off to Nottingham for some Trekker training. Just hope Jaid and I can avoid the gun touting gangs!!

Yesterday was rather quiet with only a few support calls and e-mails, but as the display drivers on my PC became corrupted on installation of a well known fishy screenreader it was jump through hoops time in order to get them re-installed. Normally grabbing the ATI Mobility drivers and installing wouldn’t be a problem since I could use my parents computer, but my system would have to be different. Without going in to the gory details, I can’t just install any ATI package, no sir! In the end without having my laptop installation discs at hand I found that the hacked Omega ATI drivers installed and with a little tweaking worked with the access technology.

Two good feeds in Yorkshire and a long rest has done both myself and furry companion good. It was also a first-rate if busy day on Thursday doing the Trekker tour of Lancashire and rather successful to boot.

I will travel over to Ipswich tonight to spend some time with Clare, maybe we can even get out and explore some Ipswich pubs with Trekker? She doesn’t know yet but I’ve fixed it to stay on Sunday night also. Hope Clare’s ok with this as well, I haven’t had chance to put her in the loop yet.
