Mornin' all. Long term lurker here from glorious Belfast.

Using flight controlls in ARMA2 is great, so much handier than using the Kb/Mouse but unless you're doing specific missions packs involving planes it's a bit redundant having those clamped to your desk all the time.

Also - Crossfaith :rockout:

Boot up a Parted Magic live disk and run the Disk Health tool, if anything has a red row, then the HDD is no longer reliable for operation.

People put things on gumtree and ebay and cant bare to take a loss, despite the fact everything second hand should have AT LEAST the VAT removed from the price. To this day I still see laptops with no dedicated GPU being sold as gaming laptops WITH AN INCREDIBLE 1TB MEMORY!!!! Total retards. This is about the only place I'd buy second hand gear, least you know it hasnt been abused, or at least, has been abused humanely.

Supposed to be at work right now but im chillin at home...

Came home last night - everything was cool until i went to bed and tried to get some sleep, got into bed at 1am was rolling around like i was on fire with an immense headache till about 3am, I DIDNT GET A WINK OF SLEEP. went down stars grabbed some painkillers, poppem' like a boss and went back to try and sleep. THE PAIN PERSISTED and i ended up being up all fuckin night - Cancelling my 8am shift because by the time the pain was starting to clear it was around 5.30am - Im not doing a 9hr shift on 30mins sleep when ive just come back from a 10hr shift and had NO SLEEP.

spent half the night trying to call HQ and get them to arrange cover. and nobody picked up till 6.30am - policy states that i have to give them at least 2hrs head start if i know i cant make the shift - shift starts at 8 but i have to commute at least 1hr15mins to get to work. If they managed to find cover or not its not my problem. My problem is that i still havent had any sleep.

I also tossed and turned last night, eventually got to sleep at 2AM, though the cause of my headache was sitting on the PC for many many hours and then watching Memento. Woke up at 7AM unfortunately, and now in work with very little to do other than cleanup after a power cut messed up my network switches and VLAN's.

EDIT: We're now listening to William Shatner's album full blast (Yes he has an album, its genius)

Well I didnt have the sweats and the pain was located down the left side of my face like as if i was suffering a stroke or migraine - the pain was so immense not even 400mg's of ibuprofen could bring it under control. Even my dad was surprised i wasn't at work. I never take a sick day! Unfortunately with this job it requires a lot of energy just to keep yourself awake. I dont have that kind of drive left.
