On Friday, went for drinkies with Friends. Started the evening drinking Magners, then drank pitchers of lager.

The downside is that yesterday, I had to go work. One of our lecturers got a MacBook Pro and asked me to set it up on Friday. So, on friday, I copied our Mac OSX image to it. Waited for it to verify (which it did), then, when it restarted, it "blue screened". So, I had to go in yesterday, set it up manually, performed the various modifications we require (we require quite a few, and it is fiddly, hence me using the image). Ran all the software updates. Rebooted, and created a new image.

All told, it took over 3 hours.. The nice thing is that for a lot of the time, I was waiting for the Mac, and there was no one else in (no staff or students), so I could play some music and really test the decent set of speakers I'd been given for the computer.
