Harry Potter

I went to see Harry Potter with Ireen today. Since we went into the 12:30 showing, the cinema was fairly empty. We were rather high up -- but that gave us a decent view.

Ireen asked me afterwards whether I remembered anything from the book which wasn't in the film, or not completely so; I must say I didn't notice anything in particular. On the other hand, it's been a while since I read the books.

My computer has a new BIOS now :)

It complained again about "Invalid BIOS ID" but I ignored that since I have a dual BIOS motherboard -- yay Gigabyte. So I still have revision 1.6 tucked away in case revision F9 doesn't turn out well. But changing the parallel port settings to ECP+EPP removed the Windows complaint.

So I should be ready now to install the bigger HDD I got for my birthday. I "just" have to find the time :P (and then the time to install all the old programs... I can imagine getting the Internet to work again might be challenging as well since I don't remember what all I had to do last time to get it to work).
