Off work with some kind of fluey virus. It was one of those slight sore throats the other day which I knew would mutate into an all-body-onslaught. It did.

Of course the plus side is that I get to play lots of Half-Life 2, which I purchased and downloaded through Valve's Steam system last weekend.

Half-Life 2 is definitely the best computer game ever. By a long way. I'm sure there's plenty of other people ranting about this elsewhere so I'll leave it at that, except to say that getting yourself a copy is highly recommended.
