Bad weather, bad connection

I took out my Nomex "ninja" hood for the first time this year, a very good thing because it's been raining all afternoon and the temperature is a nasty 12'C. I'm also glad I spent time on Monday padding the handlebars of my bike (an old Motobecane Nomade I, if that means anything to you - it certainly doesn't to me, except I like racing bikes), because I was feeling like carpal tunnel was near at hand -- ha, ha.

Also, my anonymous neighbour from whom my housemate and I have been stealing wireless finally got around to password-protecting their network, so means if I want to use the Internet for entertainment purposes, I'll have to go and sit in the library. Whoever you are -- if you have a network called "bin's home" which you recently enabled security on, and live somewhere in Madison -- do you want to rent out some of your bandwidth? I'll pay up to $10 a month. Deal? Deal?

The work order for my job still hasn't bloody come through, so I'm still "volunteering" and making the nice people in the lab feel guilty. Maybe I should write a letter to UW-Madison saying, cepat la bangang, aku lapar nak mampus ni.
