Higher and higher, ascending to the skies

davidnHello again, let's see what I can write in this. I've got back in to the routine of working, and it seems I'm getting a lot more than I used to - I've already worked fifteen hours this week since Tuesday.
Between making sandwiches and salads, I've also been attempting to clean up this computer. Two weeks in the hands of siblings can do all sorts of nasty things to a machine, but this one survived intact. There were a lot of seemingly superfluous programs that came with the computer, though (I try and never let my Start menu exceed one screen-height - it's like tidying a desk). So I started a clean-up plan. What happened was the following:
1. Remove "RealTek Sound" from the Start menu.
2. Decide that as it's a player I can safely uninstall it.
3. Realise that none of the computer's sound works at all.
4. Frantically search for the drivers CD.
5. Reinstall it and never touch anything ever again.
In happier news, my loan application has come back. My loan for next year is going to be approximately one fortune (that's 1298.97 all-day breakfast Tesco sandwiches). Apparently it's much to do with the fact that I will have a brother attending the same university. You see, siblings have their uses after all.

As for the music itself, they have a melodic style, aggressive but energetic rather than angry. You could say they sound like Iron Maiden, but happier and more upbeat. There are a few full free MP3s here, and more smaller samples of them on the same site.
