I headed up to PC World this afternoon and bought a couple of network cards (Netgear FA311) for my PCs. Worked nicely under Windows, but I couldn't get it to work under SuSE and some Google trawls left me thinking I really shouldn't have bought it. Arse. That bizarre situation with the monitor not working is happening again. Very strange.

I went to the office to steal the card out of my machine but it's integrated onto the motherboard. Bad.

Went to the Granby in the evening with Jon and D which was quite good fun. The chickeratti were out in bigger swamrs than last week and it was quite amusing to watch. There were a couple standing by themselves - disconnected from the hive mind - looking scared. Bless.

Met one in the toilet. D wandered in and looked at him and said, "You're always in here!" and I added "It's because there are mirrors." It got a laugh from everyone else and then a glare from him about seven seconds later.

Daniel was there but I didn't really get a chance to talk to him as he and Jon got on really well, so I ended up sitting around doing arse all whilst they were talking. Ended up dancing instead. It wasn't a fab night, really - don't know why. I think it's because the music's got a bit more camp and it's brought out the "look at me" in everyone. Very odd.
