Much too nice to be in an office

It's been a fairly strange week. It's been annoying trying to keep the computer room from melting down each day after the air conditioning failed, this time in a way that meant it's been a week now. Bah. Other than that it's been fairly average other than the stunning weather taunting us from outside the office. At least it meant the evening dog walks were very nice.

In other news it was payday today, the last one before the (hopefully) epic trip to the USA that I'll be embarking upon with Andy, Rob and Em in April. Shame the exchange rate is so poor at the moment - when I last went it was about 1.92. Oh well.

The Lost and Damned is interesting. It feels new because it starts off in the 3rd island in the main GTA IV storyline, which I never made it to. I did a mission last night which had a very satisfying gunfight. It was difficult to adjust from the Saints Row 2 method of simply charging in, wildly spraying bullets from the infinite ammo rifle, but once I got used to the cover system again, it was good fun. Especially after Will gave me hints on how to get headshots easily.

IBM is apparently in negotiation to buy Sun Microsystems, could be an interesting turn of events if that happened.
