Been busy recently filling in some holes in my collection. Stryke – Rare & Remixed Lypid – The Sign's Alive I'm always after Fila Brazillia remixes. Chill Out in the City: Second Cut So rare it's not on discogs. It's also the only way to get the original mix of France & Dom's "Blue Smoke" (which I have in a crappy 192K mp3 for nearly a decade now.) Holmes Ives – Tetrasomia I bought the stunning "Kuanos" in FLAC from Music Is Here after hearing it on Groove Salad back in '06. I decided to buy the whole album and MiH no longer has it. BeatPort wanted $2.75 per track for .wav files (cretins) so I spent half that an got an actual physical CD. I'm amazed sodding BeatPort stays in business.

Damn, dude. Removing the faulty (wired) router from my network chain has made for a notable improvement. I think the router had been dying for quite some time. A year ago I got 500+ K/s when leeching off my friend's server. Earlier this year, it dropped to 2-300K/s. A month ago, it was 150K/s and last week it varied hugely but dropped as low as 20K/s. Last night it was saturating my downstream at 1.5MBps. I need a "Memorex" smiley here.

What was that about Nikon macro lenses?

Wow. Mirror's Edge is $5 on Steam until tomorrow. I have been waiting forever for that game to go on sale.

Spent the entire day un-fucking my home network. It turns out that my (now 10 year old) wired router was going bad, and finally went tits up today. That meant I had to reset and re-program my Airport Extreme, which had been acting as a WAP-only. Making this whole task more difficult is the fact that my ISP is displaying their usual level competence and I've had to reboot my cable modem 5 times to get a signal strong enough to connect. Due to this unscheduled misadventure, I've had to scuttle plans to get a new mobile phone today, and to visit my favorite grocer. Still on the agenda is looking for a charger for my backup phone, and raining the Scotch cabinet.

I'm gonna quote Volt quoting me. Also, /me head asplode. That's Mighty Malts indeed.
