This should probably go in the technical area of the forums but most of what I have been doing recently is related to getting my projector and xbox 360 up and running *exactly* how I want it.
My car has been running a bit funny recently so I took it to the garage on my way home from work. This meant I had to walk home which was a good half hour walk or so. After dropping the car off...walking off for about 5 minutes I realised I had left my house keys on the fob with the car at the garage so had to walk back to get them!!
When I got home I found that no-one was in when the last bits of cable etc. for the projector came (a vga switchbox, xbox vga cable and an optical cable) so the postman had left a horribly incomplete card - there was no name and no indication of when I could go and collect the package so I walked back into town last night (having *just* walked past the post office on the way home) to be told that it wasn't here yet and I should go back tomorrow (Saturday).
Anyway - I got my package and got home only to find out that the xbox 360 cable isn't at all like the description of it on the page:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet-Xbox-Component-Audio-Cable/dp/B000OZGN84/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1295089830&sr=8-5The pictures, and the description both show it having an optical port for the 5.1 sound. Well the cable that arrived didn't

So I've got to send it back to them now.
Also, since going back to Crawley I have been noticing that my monitor seems to flicker a lot - I was getting worried that my new monitor was going faulty already until I switched the cables around and it was flickering on a different monitor - hmm! Usually reconnecting the cable sorted it but one time it didn't. Anyway...I shut down my PC, reseated my graphics card and RAM (as I was only showing 4/6Gb for the last couple of months) and now the problem seems to have gone away and I have 6Gb RAM again!

Waiting for the dreaded call from the garage - hoping it's nothing major as I really don't want to plough more money into an old car rather than saving up to try and get something decent.
