I now once more have a working computer. My last, beloved box let out the magic smoke on the morning of the 22nd of December and will be sorely missed. As was the train I didn't quite catch as a result. Actually getting this machine was very nearly an epic journey through perilous terrain (Sunderland), hostile natives (computer shop employees) and unfavourable weather (winter). It also involved, in order, a bus trip, a metro trip, a long walk at top speed, a taxi ride, another taxi ride, a metro journey and then a third taxi ride.
Nevertheless, Requiescat in pacem, KingInYellow. Long live Hyades.
I will eventually post my backlog, honest. Until then, I leave you with this review in brief of the Doctor Who special: Part one was some of the worst television I have ever suffered. Part two went a long way to restoring my faith in the series, but even it couldn't make up for the shite that was its predecessor.
