The rest is still unwritten

[avevale_intelligencer]

Driving in this morning I put the radio on (I like to live dangerously, you know) and I heard a song called "Unwritten" by somebody called Natasha Bedingfield.

I didn't know people were writing songs like that these days. It's quite good. And it made me feel a bit better about myself after yesterday's slump.

Still an awful lot of pap out there, though...

On a tangent, I finally nerved myself and plumbed in my DVD drive at the weekend. Unfortunately, I had to take out the CD/RW to do it, because although the bay beneath is empty there's a blanking plate in the metal case in front of it. It looks as though it should be removable--there are fracture lines, or whatever they're called, like you get in a light switch so you can get the wires in--but I'm not sure about this, or what would be needed to get it out. Any advice gratefully received...

Does the DVD drive work? I assume so since you don't sound in a panic about that. Good on yer. See, it's not so scary once you've done it once...

Usually I just push them and eventually with enough force and waggling the metal gives way at the fracture lines (as good a name as any, I don't recall hearing a 'proper' name for them), and then I cut my hand on the sharp metal. Or I use a thin (sharp) screwdriver and cut my hand with the screwdriver (as well as on the metal). Possibly I could try a sharp chisel, then I could also hit my thumb with the hammer...

(Look, I said I'm in a strange mood today. Almost punch-drunk, except that I haven't been drinking any punch...)

I'm busy Saturday, but I could come down Sunday as long as I really do leave early (as in early evening) to get home...

Yes, it works fine. Even less reason ever to leave my computer...:)

That, if it would not honk up your life too much, would be wonderful. We have ample supplies of Elastoplast, or if you like you could support and supervise (and advise on what to do with master/slave jumper settings and so on) and I could cut *my* hand...

I also need to find another set of those mounting bar thingies, since the spare pair I know I had has halved itself.
