Big bag of updates

• My ears are feeling a lot better - thanks to everyone who asked!
• Remember we're having a party on Saturday!
• and it's .conception on Sunday.
• My digicam broke when I tried to photograph the giraffes in Amsterdam Zoo; it lost the ability to focus, and later it couldn't retract the lens at all. Yesterday I collected the replacement from the camera shop. I have photography again, yay!
• Also, my MP3 player broke *again*. That means that I've lost all the MP3s I ripped for it, and many of the photos that I and others took in Italy. The Florence lot are OK, but I don't have the fab photo of kboyd in a swimsuit that I was so looking forward to. Boo!
• I had a good weekend. Thanks for a fab party, gothtart and vacant_!
• Tonight pavlos is coming around I think. Tomorrow I shall go to the pub. Thursday I'm seeing calar. Friday ergotia and lilithmagna arrive, all being well.
• I've been discussing trust metrics some more; if you're interested in this sort of thing join the trustmetrics community, since it's a bit lonely being the only member...
• I have upgraded my main machine (which is both server and the box I sit at) to Debian 3.0. And I now use Galeon as my main browser. It rocks so very very hard.
• Whitby soon! yay! must wash some clothes.
• Jeffery Archer is still in prison.
