Many screws

Saturday was spent not doing much, until the evening when it was a work colleague's birthday party. All good fun, lots of people from work to talk to, lots of good food and plenty of gossip and things.

Sunday was again a lazy day, although I took the dog for a walk and went on a rampage in the garden, which was tiring and stressful but rewarding. Hacked down a stupid apple tree which has never been healthy and insisted on growing sideways out of the ground for some reason.

Spent this evening sorting out my box of documents, which needed to be done. It was full of old crap which I didn't need and lots of stuff I did need but wasn't sorted out.

Also removed the graphics card from the Inspiron to send it back to the people I bought it off who have offered a discounted repair to the card itself. The Inspiron is constructed in pretty much the same way as the Latitudes in work, just bigger, so it was pretty easy to get it all dismantled and back together, but did involve undoing a lot of screws. It was interesting to see the different circuit traces on the motherboard where the integrated graphics would have gone if it hadn't got a graphics card slot.
