I'm back but at a cost.

Fri Nov 20, 2009, 12:05 PM
Well, good news is I'm back, my laptop is working perfectly and no files have been corrupted or lost in the process. I've got a sparkly new Super Drive and a complete re-install of the newest OS: Snow Leopard, so now everything is running 50% better than before.

Bad news is I can no longer be online as often as normal because my mom has swine flu. I don't have it (yet) but that's because since I haven't had the internet eating into my sleep time, I've not been too tired to have a resistance to it. This is precisely why I have to stay away from the internet for a while, I don't want to risk getting the disease and have to take yet more medication.

I know this sounds paranoid, but this is a serious illness and I'm taking it seriously. I'm going to be washing my hands constantly before and after eating and after contact with any hard surface. I suggest that if you're in a high-risk area you should do the same.

I need to take time to rest myself fully so I need to make sure I go to bed at a reasonable hour to maximize my chances of maintaining my antibodies. I'm lucky enough to have gotten sick enough times and with enough horrible things to have an immune system that can cope with pretty much anything but that doesn't mean that I won't do everything to prevent illness.

I cannot risk getting the illness because I need to work, money is vital to me right now, as it is with everything and I cannot go a single day without earning money.

Wish my mother well and hope she gets well soon, if not for her sake than at least for mine.

------Also------

I'm now a Wiignostic. I've just bought the limited edition black Wii with Wii Motion Plus and Wii Sports Resort. I'm hoping to get Madworld and Silent Hill Shattered Memories, if they're any good I'll become a Wii supporter, I'll still be knocking the Wii but I'll now be able to be more selective of what I choose to pick on. I'll admit it's entertaining and very addictive as well as being great for a break when I get tired of the hardcore titles on my 360. It's a shame that there's very little games on the Wii that are more my thing, I'm sure my mom will be able to make better use of it than me but it's nice to get the internet on my TV and play movies from the internet without having to squint at my tiny (13") laptop screen.

We've now moved our desktop computer since everyone now has their own laptop and it's become redundant as a working computer so now it's a media computer instead. It's connected to the Sony Bravia LCD HDTV so we can now catch up on any programs we missed without using the Sky+ to save and record programs we can simply get on the BBC iPlayer, we're also using it for music, movies and Skype video calls with my brother in Germany. It's quite handy to have this setup, I strongly suggest going out and buying a cheap tower block of your choosing (only the tower block, no need for a screen but a wireless keyboard and mouse will be handy). Now that the Sky+ has been freed up to only record Sky channels and programs. I have no idea why we didn't do this sooner, it's completely revolutionised the way we watch TV. Altogether with the Sony DVD, Wii, Compaq tower block, Sony Bravia LCD HDTV and Sony Shuffle sound system with 3D digital surround sound we've almost got the ultimate setup, all I need to do now is get the PS3 and we'll have everything (Blue Ray etc.).

I know this isn't really anything majorly wonderful, but it's nerd porn for me, nothing is more awesome than combining everything into one perfect package, if I could somehow add a microwave and a vending machine I'd be sorted.
