Computers and Rugby
Feb. 22nd, 2013 09:59 pmOkay, so somewhere in the last couple of days I missed a post. I'll possibly post this Sunday instead.
Anyway, continuing on from my last post, yesterday I took the opportunity to watch another pair of Firefly episodes. I was about to watch a third, when the postman arrived (well, Amazon courier, who's checking?) with a package containing the last bits I needed for my new computer. So, what did I do? I did what any sensible person would have done. I spent all evening putting it together!
So, there's the main reason for me not putting a post up.
Right now, I'm typing this on my laptop, which has been my main computer for the past three and a half years. For the first two of those, it was my only computer. But, it's been showing it's age for a little while now, and while cleaning out the inside of the case does do some good, it's doesn't change the fact that it's been three years since this machine was on the market, computing technology has come a long way in those years.
So, there's been that. And then tonight was the Rugby League World Club Challenge. Leeds Rhinos vs Melbourne Storm. At Headingley. I couldn't not, really, given Leeds was the nearest large city to where I was raised, so Leeds clubs are generally where I turn to for national level competition. In the end, the better side won, but it was a great game to watch, and probably one of the best showcases for Rugby League I've seen in a fair while.
So, that's what I've been up to since I last posted.
