Saturday,
Today I moved into my apartment, so I gathered up the remainer of my belongings from the temporary accomdation, tidied up the place, ran the hover over it quickly and washed the bed linen. and emptied the fridge of the remaining food.

Dropped of the keys at the office and made tracks to the new apartment.

Spent a few minutes at the apartment.. in the UK we'd call it a 'flat' and since thats shorter to type, I'll keep refering to it as such.

Made out a list of extras I needs to go buy,.. specifically bed linen. Drove off to "Linen 'n' things" and bought fitted sheets, a denim comforter,.. (we in the UK like to call them quilts), a pillow, some cuttlery, a stainless steel skillet, a fan and a crockery set (which I'm annoyed at because the cereal bowl that was supposed to be in the set wasn't).

The spending never stops,....
Bought a phone, a number of kitchen knives, various cleaning fluids, some food and condiments. I'm by no means finished yet,.. I'll probably buy a microwave oven sometime soon because a lot of the food ranges in the stores seem to be dependant on you owning one.

Got home and made the bed up. Hurragh! I have somewhere to sleep tonight. Moved the living room furniture around a bit as the TV wall socket is in a really useless place. I have yet to buy a TV/video and a cable connection. I'm not terribly impressed with American cable TV but it's ONE single redeeming feature is the cartoon network. There are two cartoon networks in the UK, but alas, in the US, the time warner cable company seems to only offer one of them. I might be better off with satilite TV where I would also get the BBC news, though I can watch a much grainer but perfectly good BBC 9 O'Clock news program from the BBC web site (see the top right corner for the tag "BBC ONE TV NEWS" which changes every day)

Poped into the office and was dismayed to find out the errata build for piranha that was done on friday is a complete mess. Looks like the CVS trees are badly corrupted. Called wanger to discuss how to go about untangling this mess and spent the rest of the night repatching and testing the piranha errata. Moral of the story, NEVER trust the CVS tree to be correct. Just cos the changes checkout/in on your box works fine doesn't mean the main cvs tree repository is 'perfect'. Wanger will be rebuilding the CVS tree tomorrow. I've built and tested a new src tree which appears to be 'clean'. I'll be in the office tomorrow with wanger going over rebuilding the errata

Went home late,... (ie it's 04:56 now)
