On downloads and small pieces of wood lodged in one's finger

So, it's 12:54 and I just woke up. I'm gonna got get some breakfast/lunch and then make a start to the day. This is what happens when I stay up to 3am talking on Skype.

Incidentally, I have another email paper trail that tells me that Sam was up for at least another hour after I left.


Hey, E3 started. And I didn't notice. I guess I'll just download all the press conferences from somewhere after I've done various more productive things. Started getting the Microsoft conference, Nintendo's should go live in a few hours. Might try streaming that since this is the first year I'll actually have a decent enough internet connection for it, even if I'm still not convinced about the speed.

Okay, that was going to take 12+ hours. I think I'll just cancel that until the servers are less overloaded. I guess I can try it out on a different system since Gamespots download manager promises a faster download, if you have a compatible system. It's worth a shot.

Nuts to that. Couldn't find the video on their system. I'll try it with a download accelerator of some kind and see if that helps.

Not quite sure what the point of this running commentary is. Bear with me.

Well, it's started. I may pause it later to get something else, the main advantage of download managers as I see it.


An aside: I hate splinters.


The download's finished now. This whole waking up after noon has completely thrown off my internal clock. It feels like I should be having lunch soon but it's almost four o'clock.

This has turned into another blogging over the day thing, hasn't it?

So, yeah. E3 looks promising and there are some really nice videos and games popping up all over the place. I'm just going to round this off here. There's not been much of a topic but I want to do some work for Skippy on StreamK and then do some other, unrelated writing.

Have a nice day.
