Bradford
About to set off for Bradford. If I don't post again by midnight, avenge my death.

A first!
So! I just had my first electric shock from the mains. It feels like a hardware geek rite of passage. Simultaneously, it feels like a numb ache down the length of my right arm and along the right side of my head and face.

So the other day I bought a headset mic. I didn't want the headset, just the mic, but it was the cheapest thing in Tesco's and I really wanted the damn mic. For some time now, I've tolerated shit speakers. They do speech just fine - in fact, they do speech clearer than my last speakers - but they have NO bass whatsoever.
