uncommunicative, but not dusty

i watched most of small soldiers until the kid arrived, and then we watched terminal velocity together. it's just as funny as i remembered, and considering that the last time i saw it was in the cinema i'm impressed at how much i retained :) [for instance, just how good-looking nastassja kinski is]

the internet's been a non-happening, and when i eventually tried restarting the machine i discovered a problem with the mbr - i figured reinstalling ubuntu would help, but i got stuck in the same place afterwards. i suddenly remembered that this was the first restart since i formatted my new hard disk... so i unhappily set about opening my spiffy new case to fix the master / slave jumpers.

it was a mission to discover that all the settings were correct, so even more unhappily i reconnected the drives and closed the case, and fortunately thought to check the bios settings on boot up. and therein lay the problem.

after much frustration and waking up our flatmate, we managed to get the network back online (as you can see), but only for certain websites, which means that i can't update my fresh install.

that leaves me with an icky feeling.
