Pirate Poker, VM thrashing, Nerdly Addictive Expenses
Just played my very first games of Texas Hold 'Em today, via Puzzle Pirates. Weird. Slightly alters strategy to have cards in common with other players.
And then I received a dialogue box telling me that I've run out of space on my harddrive. That could explain some of my recent lag. I think I'll be "backing up" some things to DVD soonish anyway, so I should be alright. Stopgap was to empty the Trash, which freed up about 5GB.
In other news, LBIL has talked me into attending a gaming event tomorrow, which means I'll have to awaken in the quasi-madrugada. We've practised for it last night and today, using "spoiled" materials painstakingly entered into gaming software and played across his two ethernetted PCs. I can scarcely believe I'm admitting to this procedure, though at least I haven't used any jargon in the main post1.
And then there's the Library Booksale which is to take place this weekend as well.
1 Discussion and/or sniggering can take place in the comments.
