Two Months!?!

Hmm... I shall have to get around to updating more often (also witness the massive hiatus in diaryofaguardianangel.com.)

Ah well, the main reason for this post was that some Australians (http://qtrax.com/index.php) have probably just put me out of a job.

Still, it looks like an absolutely awesome service, so I'll be glad to use it at home. As I'm getting increasingly annoyed with Napster's shoddy performance and habit of constantly losing my downloaded music.

The great thing about wanting a new job anyway, is you don't mind these things quite so much.

Well, yesterday we went to watch a recording of QI in London, so I think I'm a day behind the truly hardcore geeks out there.

Never mind, I'm busy maxing out the ole' broadband aquiring Vista Beta 2 and Office 2007 Beta 2. Which should make for an interesting time. I hope ellie wasn't too attached to word looking like it did.

In other news QI was good - Rory Bremner isn't as funny as he thinks he is, but never mind. It wasn't as repetitive and stop-start as I'd imagined it was going to be, so that's cool. Stephen Fry is bigger than I imagined.

And as a corollary to the Syntax attacks series -

There's a file format in my current project which stores flags associated with the data in a double - who knows why...

I wanted to store an enum in the double - putting it in was fine. But pulling it out had to be done by first casting to an int and then to an enum, static_cast<enum> should have worked but it didn't.

Madness.

Everyone else is doing it: Computers and Internet
