£@^&*£^* Belkin

Anyway, spent a bit of the weekend playing with the Kramer. It's amusing; more and more 'good stuff' keeps on being revealed about the Kramer and I still cannot find what it's actually worth; except it's my £50 beater guitar and people are all impressed with it. So far I'm learning the chords for "Breathe" or whatever it is, that Pink Floyd one. I kept playing Em and C and thinking "That sounds familiar" - found the tab online, looked at it and realised what I was doing wrong. With no experience of strength in my little finger, this is a painful experience, but the Kramer is up to being beaten up and has a nice neck for me to handle.
Car boot sale joy was limited; a Citroen SM model and a Dinky Bedford CF AA van for £3 and an Amiga 1200 in amazingly good cosmetic condition but without PSU/mouse for £2. Made in UK, too - quite unusual that. I have a spare HD for it, happily.
This Belkin router really is shit. It keeps dropping out, BT's fucked DNS or no. Insufficient range is fine, but I'm stuck with the antenna provided which is really frustrating. Right now it's in bits as I checked to see if there was perhaps a standard wireless card in it with antenna connections; 1/2 right - there's a Mini PCI card in there with these flat looking connections.
Shaun the Supra has new Falkens all round, new tax, and is being mostly happy about it, though there's still the bad smoking habit to cure.
