oh dear.
I noticed a dead pixel on my 400d’s lcd review screen this morning :-(. I had to promptly call jessops to arrange to swap it for another body, which surprisingly enough wasn’t that difficult 
I only had to just take the body and they took a new one out of another box and gave me the replacement, job’s a good’un.
Now if only it wasn’t such a miserable day, it has dried up but I now don’t fancy going out for a walk like I had planned. boo…

So this week I’ve been doing a RHEL course (easy peasy RHCT); and have been quite bored as it was easy, and things that I really have to have already known to do my job :-), so it came as no surprise to me when i passed, with very very little effort. This pass was also a pass mark of no less than 100%!
What’s better though is that I have finally bought my camera :D, and oh dear is it shiney. not really had much chance to go for a random walk to take some shots yet. I did plan on going for a walk in the altringham countryside this lunch but decided that spilling coffee down me in the exam break was more fun. Woo. Maybe if I get up early enough I can catch the early morning light and go get some photos …

Well well well, last night really was pretty random.
Friend Trout mentioned how the epoxies were playing at the Royal Oak in Poulton. Decding I had nothing better to do with my tuesday evening, I went along for a look.
Totally random, there were a couple of support acts, who’s names I unfortunately can’t remember, the ones who were a bit more proper punk than the rest were ace as tits.
Now, not being an epoxies fan and never having listened to them, I wasn’t sure what to expect. They were rather good, and put on a fun show, so pretty good really. I did wonder why they had gone from supporting NoFX a couple of years ago, to doing small tiny gigs in random pubs in the UK, whatever, they should at least be playing academy I reckon in manchester.
Anyway. My mood for the 0 people who read this, and wonder, is rather good atm, as I’m also going to be purchasing my EOS 400D on friday, YAY! I’ve had jessops in Blackpool put a black one behind for me to pickup on Friday afternoon once I’ve got back from Altingham (more on that in a minute). Also ordered a 4GB OEM CF Card for my camera, hell yeah, only 21 quid incl. postage, should do me a while 
This work week has been boring as watching shit dry. Thanks mainly to doing a RedHat training course that is just re-iterating things that I already must know for my job. So it’s been a fun 60 miles per way journey every day to do something that’s not really been that interesting. Gutted.
Oh well, more rants in the wonderful world of the christoph-gee some other time, bye!

What a day …
Working from home can be great, IE getting up 2 minutes before turning your laptop on and “getting to work” is good, however, trying to get some revision done for the course I have next week, was impossible 
It seems that so much stuff I touch at work at the moment has problems I’m having to fix, grrr, and through no fault of my own.
Good news is though that there’s quite a few gigs to go to soon, and it’s my birthday next week
Shame I’m working away in altringham all week, but hopefully should be able to get out and have a few celebratory drinks.
Had news today too, that Mindless Self Indulgence are doing a gig in Nottingham, aswell as their “Give me a name” gig dates too, oh yeah!! Hopefully that should be fricking awesome, if we can get a few folks together and make a weekend of it (really not up for driving 150 miles to the gig and then 150 miles back in one night.)
Oh well, back to planning my weekend
