Gigantor today
Mar. 15th, 2003 01:19 pmGigantor, today, Teviot Park Room. I believe there are some Edgar-sponsored live bands first, but I can't find any information online anywhere. Update: I plan to show up around 11pm - ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nik_strychnine just told me that that's the kickoff time and the live band before hand is some best avoided rock act.
Sadlypurplerabbits can't make it, she's away for a few days.
We have taken the dead washing machine to pieces. I bought a special socket and rachet for removing one of the huge concrete blocks bolted to the side of the drum. I used bondage shears (aka paramedic shears) to slice through bundles of cables. Now we have a big steel box with a drum in it. If we can get the drum out, we'll be laughing. To do that, we need to lever off the front of the thing, for which we definitely need a bigger implement of destruction than any we have. Does anybody have a crowbar or a wrecking bar? Update: cancel that, we just used a hacksaw and smashed the case open. We've got the drum out now.sibelian is drumming on it as I type. Yes, indeed, we h4XOred our washing machine!
I have backed up my PC onto 13 CD-ROMs. I am virtue! I'm even taking relative backups now. Maybe it's time I bought a DVD rewriter? The local cheapo computer bits shop does an NEC one for GBP 130. Does anyone know the difference between DVD+RW and DVD-RW? Are there other "gotcha"s I should watch out for?
Whitby tickets have arrived. Rar!
Off to buy boring clothes later today, to stock my two-city wardrobe.
I probably return to London on Wednesday.
