A likely excuse...


you may have noticed a slight lag of blogging this week.....

This is due to
A. Being insanely busy in work
B. Being away from my house for a few days
C. did I mention I'm busy in work at all
D not having access to my own pc.
E. Ending up spending any spare time I have lying sprawled in bed just about breathing , barely ,due to a rather nasty bout of the flu
F. Work etc...

Anyway, in between the vomiting shakes and general nastiness of my condition, my lack of PC activity has given me a chance to finally set up the dreamcast I bought last month as an internet machine. Yes thanks to the built in modem, the dodgy hack of segas dc browser I found on the net that lets you use normal ISPs and finally a keyboard I picked up for a tenner in a game shop in talbot st.(not that one. the other one)I can surf away on the portable telly..
it works although bizzarely the only site I've had problems with is P45 , in that you can read but posting gives you a thread missing error...ah well considering the fact its a cobbled together browser where half the text is in japanese and the whole kit cost around 65 quid I cant complain.
