Minor updates

Posted on April 19, 2005 By admin 3 Comments on Minor updates

Slow day today. Went into town to get some keys re-cut (they'd been botched the first time) and take pictures of an abandoned church along woodgate road. Got rained on, hailed on, thundered on then sunshined on in the span of about 15 minutes. The weather here is just as unpredictable as I was lead to believe it'd be, but the good thing is that those little showers here and there seem to be keeping the pollen out of the air so my allergies aren't giving me grief.

Bought my TV today, it should be getting delivered on sunday, when I'm in Cambridge. It was a bit tricky to find one that would have NTSC playback for all the region 1 DVDs that I brought over cause the salespeople are fairly useless. I ended up getting it online from Comets.

I'm going to Cambs on thursday to go see the HR people at the EMBL to get some paperwork started and hopefully get a bank account sorted out. It's the last big thing I need to do, really. The rest is on its way to getting done.

    NTSC = US/Canada/Japan video encoding standard

    and no, I didn't. I already have one but it's easier to just get rained on a bit.
