Still here. Not much to say. I think I'm starting to feel better, but once I have a good day, something happens to fuck it all up. And it's back to square 1 again... It keeps happening with alarming regularity.
Items of news - I got myself a new amp for my hi-fi. The old one (Yamaha AX-550) had never worked properly (crackles unless you keep reselecting the source) since Puss took to sleeping on it. So I now have the following in my hi-fi rack:
Skyworth 3650 DVD/DivX Player
Pioneer F-203RDS Tuner
Yamaha CDX-870 CD Player
Cambridge Audio A5 Amplifier
And I got my JPW passive sub from the garage and set it all up. I now have a kicking stereo in my room again and I'm using it continually.
The biggest gripe I have with it all is the DVD player. I've made some DVDs full of MP3s, but there is no way to skip the currently playing track and its really pissing me off. I can select another track but not skip (useful in random mode when some crap comes on). Why the hell not? Stupid thing...
I've also finally unpacked my Xbox, so I might just get that chipped and then it can read the MP3s directly from the network.

Jon was meant to be coming down tomorrow but his meeting in Bristol today has been cancelled, so I won't be seeing him for a few weeks yet.
Ho-hum!
