The Big Move, Computer Issues, The Gaming Addiction

caseopaya and I managed to complete the big move on Saturday. The initial truck (at 11am) was too big to fit in the street so some other removalists turned up six hours later - and proceeded to take another six hours (two trips) to move all our things. It was a bit of a disaster really, and painful on the wallet. beagl and kimeros are expected this eve as the first overnight guests.Other harsh things on the wallet (apart from doing my tax - a modest amount owed, which I expected) included the halogen backlight on my HP laptop giving up the ghost. Combined with the move this has meant no Internet for a few days *twitch*, *twitch*. Seriously, I'm coping just fine (my various inboxes only had about 300 emails when checked this morning).
Gaming events over the weekend included an opening session of In Nomine on Friday night and a game of Civilization on Sunday. The latter really is a great game, and I'm thinking of hosting a dinner party along the theme. Bread, dips and table wine I think.

Hey, at least you didn't have to give up your computer completely ;P

This is true (unlike your good self who came to the rescue). However it is no longer a laptop, but rather a very small desktop.
Which I suppose is nice in a way.

Yeah, well it's not happy with Fedora Core 5, that's for sure!

The last version of SuSE I have is a live CD.
