No music

I've been banging my head into a wall for an entire evening, trying to create PHP functions in order to make my coding easier. Yes, it sounds rather silly, doesn't it. Trying to learn something advanced to make something simple even easier. Some of the functions are working, so well that you won't even notice any difference from before. Other functions just won't do what I want them to do, and that's where the headbanging comes in.

So I figured I'd do something else to relax, before trying again. First I just laid down on the bed trying to shut off all thoughts. Didn't work. Realised there's a pile of dishes waiting for me, so I remembered that with half an hour of good music and a set of dishes I usually feel a lot better.

Now to figure out how to get music into the kitchen. I usually turn the music on really loud on my computer in the living room, but since Roze is at home (he really doesn't like my taste in music) and has a friend here too, I can't do that at the moment.

How about just taking the laptop into the kitchen and playing a CD? Nope, won't work. Grub error 21, can't boot the computer.

How about putting a set of speakers into the server under the kitchen table? Nope, won't work. It's a server, there is no media software installed in it, and even if there was something, there is no support for audio at all anyway.

How about just using a simple mp3 player? Nope, won't work, it broke down a few months ago.

How about.. hm.. oh, right! Now that you finally, after 4-5 years, have all your stuff where you are (instead of at your mother's place), how about finding an old portable CD-player? Sure, I can do that. Then how about finding a set of headphones? Yup, I know where they are. And how about finding batteries? Batteries.. Good ol' AA batteries. Y'know those big ol' heavy batteries you used to have tons of before all your devices needed AAA instead. Remember those? Think you can find any?

No. And I'm all out of ideas. There will be no music in the kitchen, and therefore no dishes will be taken care of, and there will be no smiling Nilli for probably the rest of the evening. Stupid #%!@& PHP. Hmpf.
