Tuesday's QNI with'The Prestige' on DVD

Backed up just in time... No interweb at
Originally uploaded by tamaranth

= dead laptop (luckily I had been warned by its cries of pain, and had backed up contents).
= no interweb at home
= no DVD player
= writing Nanowrimo on reliable old Thinkpad as supplied by reddragdiva for my very first Nanowrimo in 2004.
= new laptop when flat is sold and I am back in the black. Suggestions? (Windoze, sorry.)

Better and better

I usually work from home on Wednesdays. Today I came in for two meetings. On the way into werk, $boss phoned -- has to go to hospital -- so I assumed first meeting would be postponed. Instead, they had it without me. (No notification, and I was running around dealing with other flak). And second meeting has just been postponed til tomorrow.

May as well stay here now. The food is unpromising and the coffee is vile but at least there is interweb, and there are NO BUILDERS.
