 Av> Well it's a Friday afternoon over here in New Zealand, and technically
 Av> we're in summer but so far it's bloody cold, and even on a day when 26
 Av> Celsius is forecast we've had wind, rain and cold temps so far.

I didn't realize you were about a full day ahead of me.  From the timestamp in your message, it was Thursday afternoon here (west coast US).  :)

 Av> I'm working from home today but am bunking off a bit to play BBS during
 Av> lunch and look at some overdue admin etc.

 Av> The weekend will likely involve mowing lawns, some driving about in the
 Av> car and perhaps family over for a meal.

That sounds good. :)
I've worked a bit extra this week, so it looks like I'll be able to go home from work a couple hours earlier than usual tomorrow.  My wife is staying over at her parents' house tomorrow evening and will be out Saturday, since she has some work stuff she needs to take care of early Saturday morning - And I know it might sound corny, but I miss my wife when she's away.  I'll probably work on some of my BBS stuff though, and maybe play some games.

As far as gaming, the other day I was curious to run the Amiga version of the old Lemmings game, and I found one for download online, complete with an Amiga emulator for Windows, all set up to run Lemmings with a double-click.  I like this version of Lemmings.  I'm curious to see if I can find more Amiga games now, since I mainly played IBM/PC games back in the day and didn't have much exposure to Amigas.
