My big news this weeks is the old Desktop PC has given up the ghost and since the majority of the parts are almost two years old it give me the excuse to upgrade (even If I can't afford it)

I ordered some bits from Overclockers.co.uk on Friday and they arrived first thing Saturday morning, so I quickly started to build my new super PC, however building quickly stopped when I discovered that an AM2 processor had been sent instead of the 939 pin that would fit in the motherboard. Curses! Fortunately Overclockers have a sensible RMA process, a new processor has been ordered and should be arriving on Tuesday and the AM2 will be winging it's way back to Stoke soon after.

The last two weeks in has seen some strange going on in the North East the most notable of these are bumping into Chris Morland (how bizarrely random) in Lytham and a return to the Syndicate in Blackpool which is looking even better than it did last time I was there (a number of years ago) and possible the funniest thing was seeing a certain person's pants fall down in a night club in Lytham, I am still laughing now.

The hot weather is continuing with no end in sight, this is great during the day but a proper pain in the arse at night as it make sleeping almost impossible.

The family and I am on Holiday now for the next two weeks, We've got to plans to head out anywhere special as yet, but I imagine we will have a few day trips and maybe a couple of days at the theme park. If I get the chance, a working PC and some inspiration I may even do some website work.

I promise you another update when I get the PC up and running.

I don’t think I’ve gone this long without updating the blog in a long while! Oh well, I’ve had much more important things to do. Don’t ask me what they were because I can’t remember, but I can assure you it had nothing to do with the Japanese Mafia. I’ve been spending time updating various websites which to be honest has got me frustrated, I could really do with recruiting some writing staff for ObscureInternet.

One thing that’s has been happening has the computer has been playing up, methinks it may be time to upgrade, but where will I get the money to buy the best bits my computer obviously requires. Other thinks to play up since we last spoke include; The car (nothing new there), The Iron (which has no been replaced and is now a ‘back-up iron’! WTF is ‘backup Iron’? Only a women could have said it), and the Washing Machine (just out of warranty and just about working)

The highlight of last weekend was the Mela at Middlesbrough, and as sure as it always rains at Middlesbrough Music Live, it is always sunny at the Mela. Just the weather you need when you want to taste all those hot Asian dishes(!), the full family was out, however Conor was more interested in the inflatable assault course than the RAF Harrier Jump Jet that was there. The lowlight of last weekend was doing the gardening.

While I talking about Conor, did I tell you that I got a Max Media Launcher cartridge for his DS? He having great fun playing Princess Peach, New Super Mario Bro and Big Brain Academy (all totally legally of course m’lud). So far I’m graded C in big brain academy, although the wife has got to C+ while I’ve been away with work (cheat).

So as you are probably aware this week has been the hottest week record in the universe ever. England was hotter than a number of places, including the sun.
