Stuff which happened.
-
I haven't been particularly active here for a couple of months now because of a load of stuff going on. Some of it is fairly good. First of all, I passed my driving test; third time lucky. I would have gotten it on my second time, but I made a bit of a mistake. Quite a lot of minors, most of them due to driving a little too slowly. That was because of nerves (odd, since I'm pretty much completely emotionless normally). Because of the date of my practical test, I was among the few to have taken an independent driving segment. It was a lot easier than the news made it out to be; just 3-4 instructions to remember, in exchange for one fewer maneuver to perform. I passed on the 14th October, and I received my full driving license a few days ago. This also means I'm legally capable of driving a tractor, so if you see a tractor doing 5 mph on the motorway - it might be me ;) Up next, I've been doing a bit to my room. I bought shedloads of DVDs, and three sets of shelves to put them on. After a little tussle with wall plugs (putting ones designed for brick in a plasterboard wall), I've put them up. For those of you who are interested, I bought: 10,000 BC, Apollo 13, Armageddon, Batman Begins & the Dark Knight, Bruce & Evan Almighty, Cars, Deep Impact, GI Joes, Hancock, I Robot, I Am Legend, Ice Age 1-3, Independence Day, Jumper, Jurassic Park 1-4, Kung-Fu Panda, Lord of the Rings, Madagascar 1 & 2, The Matrix 1-3, Chronicles of Narnia 1 & 2, The Mummy 1-3, National Treasure 1 & 2, Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3, Sphere, Star Trek (newest one, Insurrection, First Contact, Generations & Nemesis), Star Wars 1-6, the Day after Tomorrow, the Day the Earth Stood Still, Transformers 1 & 2, Twister, Volcano, Wall-E, War of the Worlds and X-Men 1-4. I think that they'll keep me going if I ever feel ill or want to have a weekend in bed. I made my router work, albeit with a few caveats. I bought another router and connected the WAN port to the O2 Wireless Box. Then I set up WDS and made the one upstairs act as a repeater. I've now got my own 802.11n network, with hardware which can support it. The only problem I have now is that I'm seemingly locked into WEP security; hideously lacklustre. I'm having to rely on my network being named SkyNet to keep things secure. When I put in a NAS box to store my code, I'll have to set up more secure manners of authentication. On the positive side, my plans for VOIP and automation can progress smoothly enough now. My memory's been given an upgrade: I now have a respectable 4 GiB. My mot

The Day the Earth Stood Still
I saw the original version with Michael Rennie at the cinema back in the 50s (probably before your parents were born) and it remains one of my all time favourite films, despite the rather wobbly special effects.

Congratulations on driving test. I falied for the same reason (driving too slowly), I will have to go next week again for that.

Well, you seem a very organized dude so I think it is paying off :) I finally came to this revelation after noticing that you listed your dvd's in alphabetical order (except for the Star Trek's Saga, which I haven't been able to find an specific order at all ;P )
-
Me as well but the remake is a great film. Oddly enough there were times I didn't notice the special effects.

You are kidding, aren't you? It was yet another movie showcasing the acting talents of Keanu Reeves; the only actor more wooden than the Cuprinol man.

I try to be organised; it works sometimes. Star Trek is also in roughly alphabetical order: Star Trek Star Trek Insurrection Star Trek First Contact Star Trek Generations Star Trek Nemesis The only thing my OCD has missed is that Insurrection needs to come directly after Generations; it's been fixed on my shelf now :)

All the best drivers fail their first test. Unfortunately you failed your second one too. :laugh: Well done for sorting out the repeater/router/bridge thing. Can't understand why you're locked into WEP though unless one of them only has that.

Condolences. I was borderline - the instructor was irritated that I'd made him miss his coffee!

My instructor was just plain irritated, she wanted to go home early and I was the last person whose driving test she had to take for the day.

I would credit him, but I don't want to put his name on a public forum - only his close friends and his family know he has OCD.
