1) My TV died. This isn't normally what I'd call a "Happy Thought", but the TV in question is a 11 year 28inch SD CRT. Full marks to Sony for building reliable TVs though.
I am happy because it gives me an excuse, nay, a reason to buy an HDTV..
2) I've managed to achieve an awful lot at work today. Finally solved a problem that's been bugging me for days, which means I have nearly two thirds of the software I am in charge of deploying for the next academic year ready for testing now..
