Month: November 2003

Was invited out to spin at Edinburg Gardens on Sunday arvo. It’s a gathering of DJ’s every non-raining Sunday arvo down near the rotunda in the park. All are welcome and anyone can spin – even me! :) Much fun was had and mega-thanks to the gang for the invite and for making me feel so welcome – will definitely be trying to come down again on future Sundays…

Yes! Yes! Yes
The tech turned up on site to fix my DELL as advertised and it appears to have done the trick. The little bugger’s been working fine since then. Combine this with my new ADSL link at my home office and yes, I’m a happy little geek :)

Working on two new mix CD’s – one a laid back, cruising set – the other based on “explicit lyric” dirty tracks.

I’ve managed to obtain sufficient diagnostics information so that DELL can confirm the problem with my laptop appears to be the motherboard (with a chance of RAM problems too). So, the tech is (hopefully) going to visit me today and I’ll have a laptop that works again. One can only hope…

MERDE!!!!
My laptop is giving me the shits! Locking up at times, claiming the RAM is bad, sometimes saying it can’t find a boot device (eg: no HDD).
MERDE!!!!
The current DELL Inspiron 4100 is a replacement for my old Inspiron 3800 that kept having keyboard hassles. DELL replaced the 3800 for me under warranty. Now, 1.5 years later, this one’s starting to go belly up. I’m in discussions with DELL to see what we can make of it (other than “Don’t buy DELL!”)…

Was asked to DJ for a friend’s birthday party – lots of fun and did a couple of sets over the course of the night.

Survived another birthday – it started off a little “odd” – hired a truck to go get some furniture from a friend of my mom’s – good stuff and I’m happy to have it, but getting up early to lug bookcases and a desk upstairs on the morning of my 36th wasn’t exactly #1 on my list of things to do :)

All worked out OK though with a relaxing afternoon and then Kitt and I went to a dinner with Andrew and Justina at their place. Dinner was great – 5 year old birthday “Construction Party” theme with fairy bread, chocolate crackles, chocolate cake, cheerios, sausage rolls and even “Passion Pop” (passionfruit flavoured sparkling wine). What a hoot. Will load photos later when I have my hands on them.

Anyhow, back to the work again…

Had fun at an “after-party” in a private venue outside town. Wound up going for a few hours with a variety of tunes.
