Well, I've just lost at Starcraft again. I thought I made a good attempt at getting the resources near the start and defending them, but I didn't build enough missile turrets. About 94 more and I would have been sorted.

This morning, I had a strange dream (again) - this time that I was taking the CH1006 exam, it was nearly 7 o'clock and all the questions were about Robin Hood. I woke up rather relieved to find it was a dream, but then dreamt that it had been real and that I was talking to

l_s_q about it. Stranger still, later in the day I was asked over private messaging from Z2 if I wanted to make a cameo appearance in a Robin Hood game (well, my ASCII representation, anyway - yellow on black with #Char 001).

I tried printing out the lecture notes again, but Adobe UselessReader decided to crash for the same reason as last time, so I ventured in to the computer room for the first time. I have to say it's absolutely hideous - like some sort of electronic wasteland littered with bits and pieces of old, decaying, rotting machines. Also, someone had stolen all the mouseballs and some of the buttons from all the computers except one, and Miette - who I hadn't talked to in a while - was using that one.

So after finding working peripherals from the four corners of the room, I managed to assemble a machine capable of running (although I had to operate the mouse rollers by hand) and got on to mIRC as james-ooc. That confused the Sinner chatroom, I can tell you.

After all that, the computer decided not to recognise the printer so I came back up here and tried to work out more ingenious ways of wasting time. One of them being www.bash.org, which had some quotes from Z2 as it happens. And that reminded me that I hadn't done this for a while - there are a couple of days' worth, so I'll just throw the whole lot at you.
