We need to shift the mattress ASAP. We need help with this - does anyone have a car (it's 6'×6'6", but we can tie it to most things), and are you free an evening this weeK? To go from Hendon to Walthamstow. Email me (fun[AT]velvet.net) or call or text me. Please to help!

Book pr0n with [livejournal.com profile] arkady and [livejournal.com profile] ali_anarres last night. [livejournal.com profile] arkady is playing with FreeBSD, but is discovering that the Handbook, well-written though it is, is basically intended to tell people who already know a bit of Unix how to do things the FreeBSD way. So we were after the level below that. The book she eventually purchased was SAMS Teach Yourself FreeBSD in 24 Hours, which is aimed at someone who knows Windows reasonably well but is new to Unix. Just the ticket. It also covers KDE (though not Gnome, oddly enough). [livejournal.com profile] ali_anarres and I decided the contents looked the right sort of thing, and bits of the book we opened at random seemed sensible and well-written. £22 at Borders, not too bad. (Though it's £15.39 through Amazon as I write this.)

Ali was also seduced by the Harry Potter displays and plans to be queueing at midnight Friday in full costume. Rose too. Both Slytherin, of course. "Harry very carefully read the manual - four times - because Snape would cut off his breathing privs if he asked him a question that the manual could answer ..."

You ought to come too. You don't have to dress up as a pupil - if we can get you a long black cloak from somewhere, you can be Lucius Malfoy....

Hmm. OK. Only because I don't think my black silk brocade coat would fit you. You have to wear your black shirt though. And I think perhaps one of my black silk scarves as a cravat. You can borrow my silver-topped walking cane.

And the hair MUST be loose!!!!

I haven't seen the movie, nor have I seen Diva for a while now.

So I feel compelled to ask: are those shots Diva, or something from the movie? Because if you told me they were him, I'd probably believe you.

I would mock her but I'm too busy working on my House Vorkosigan uniform before the next Bujold comes out.
