I better get something good in the post this morning to make up for all this

Grargh. Annoyances.

I seem to have lost sound on Flash video, with no prompting. I get no audio on YouTube, the Escapist, even my ukulele tuner. This is what I believe is known as A Right Bugger. I spent two hours last night trying every fix I could find, from registry patching to uninstalling/reinstalling Flash to fiddling with my hardware settings, and...nothing. The bizarre thing is I can't think what caused it? The only possible thing could be PodProducer, a podcast producing software that I booted up today. It muted the system volume on all sliders and didn't unmute it when I closed the program, but I can't imagine that it would fuck with my Flash settings. I'll check their bug reports.

The other shitty thing is that Blyk - my beloved mobile network - is shutting down its UK service. So I'm losing my £15 a month free credit. That's really shit. I don't want to have to use real money with my phone again. I don't HAVE money to spend on phone credit.
I guess now I have the opportunity to shop around and find a really good PAYG deal, but...blegh. Money. And it also means I'll have to port my number over again, which I HATE because it is a MASSIVE fucking hassle, and took ages last time I did it. Urgh. D<

Crappy way to wake up this morning. :c

Not that I'm mercenary at all.

Yaaay, I've worked out why I wasn't getting Flash audio. It was to do with feeding my computer's audio output through my guitar amp, which is of course mono. So I'm using my headphones right now and I've ordered some cheap speakers. Annoying to have to spend money, but whatev - in any case, I'll have some portable speakers I can take to uni or something.

Also, I have spent a disproportionate amount of my time today gardening. There's something pleasant about it, though I'm not sure why. I end up very muddy and with cold toes, but whatever. Maybe it's because I get to feel virtuous for going outside on occasion. And I do mean occasion.

Also, I'm getting paid. That's an incentive.
