Well, I’m feeling shittier than I was a few hours ago. And, apparently, looking like it too…
I only switched the camera on for a few minutes, when the crew from #speccy (or at least the few who were “awake” at 1PM) said the following… nicks removed, just in case…
[13:18:29] * Scribbler for a laugh, puts the webcam on
[13:18:43] (Scribbler) I look as rough as I feel
[13:18:49] (M) scribcam
[13:18:50] (r) ooh jesus
[13:18:58] (r) http://scribcam.co.uk/
[13:19:00] (M) pfff!
[13:19:14] (M) oh god
[13:19:18] (M) GET TO THE DOCS
[13:19:21] (r) doctors, now
[13:19:22] (r) go
[13:19:23] (Scribbler) gee thanks
[13:19:48] (M) well you have an incredible “blearyness” around the eyes
[13:19:53] (M) that clearly says summat’s up
[13:20:00] (r) scrib, you look like death
[13:20:06] (D) nice, just as i am about to eat a kebab
Pfft. I put the fact that I look like death down to the fact I haven’t shaved since Thursday, haven’t brushed my hair since Saturday, the sharpness and the brightness are not quite set correctly on my camera, and I’d also just got out of bed. Oh, that, and the fact I actually feel like death. Though, I shall avoid the docs for the time being… surely we’ve all saw the terrible adverts with Sam The Tablet… “This man has a virus… I’m shite at fighting viruses!”. Or is it the other way around? Meh, I can’t remember.
Instead, I shall attempt to pump my body full of water, and hope this thing gets flushed out at some point….
And, as predicted, I did indeed receive only slightly less than one Valentines card this morning…
There’s the postie disappearing into the distance, and I sob quietly to myself, knowing that I shall be spending Valentines Day, cold and alone, like I’ve spent every day for nigh on 4 years. Then it suddenly hit me. For the past 5 valentines, I’ve not been in *anyone’s* thoughts. That made me feel even lonelier.
So, before I filled the bath up and reached for the toaster, I decided to take my mind off it somewhat… and I decided to get some new PVR software working… namely GB-PVR. It doesn’t have as many features as Knoppmyth, but it does work under Windows… to a point.
Well, at first I thought they’d slashed the GMTV presenters’ budget considerably, but then I realised that my channels were mixed up, and that was Channel 5.
So, I finally got round to finding out how to change the channel frequencies (it’s only taken me about a month) and now it’s all sorted. So, I’ve got a whole night of toptastic telly to record and watch! Er… Hurrah!
Now, I’m back off to bed. I’ve only typed this to take my mind off how filled with mucus it is.
