The devil finds work for idle hands, so keep a chair on my return.

• A heartfelt public announcement from jwz.

• M.C. Escher rendered in Lego.

• Civilise The City!

• "In my darkest dark moments, I can always say, 'Johnny Cash did one of my songs, you can all get fucked.'"

• If you love me, you'll get me this.

• The Tube map every tourist really wants.

• The Alexis de Tocqueville Institute are back producing works of unspeakable genius.

• The record industry is still fucked. Utterly. Terminally.

Dinner in St. Albans last night - salmon fillet, rice and mushrooms with the beautiful, wonderful and cuddly arkady. Tonight I am listening to redcountess and missyk8 playing Grim Fandango.

We seek to attend B-Movie on Friday. Go do redcountess's poll! I put out for *pint*s!

/me flings legs in air

[jezebel-z.livejournal.com]

it's actually not in use atm, alas. I've gotten too used to this keyboard which is very light to the touch :/

[reddragdiva]

Give it to meeeee and I will donate so much steak and so many blowjobs to you ...

[hellsop.livejournal.com]

I love those things. Got one on the guest machine...

err, the keyboard. Although I do enjoy steak and blowjobs as well...

[jezebel-z.livejournal.com]

...maybe...
;)

If you love me, you'll get me this.

I can get those for $5 US at MicroCenter (http://www.microcenter.com/) pretty routinely (during the week after a local computer show, which are vaguely monthly), or for more like $2.50 US if I get unlazy enough to show up at the computer show.

I've got like five around the house, just to have spares (I'm only using two; one at home, one at work). PS/2 connections, though, not AT.

You can probably find one more proximal, but if you want to pay shipping from Philadelphia, PA, US, I'm glad to send you one (or several).

Yay, B-Movie when I'm actually here and can make it !

[arkady.livejournal.com]

The site only takes Visa, Mastercard or cheque, not Solo - but I'll willingly buy you one.

[reddragdiva]

Don't do that until my people talk to grumpy_sysadmin's people :-*

[grumpy-sysadmin.livejournal.com]

Just for the record, I wouldn't want to step in the way of true love or anything, but it seems kind of silly to lay out that kind of price for the thing.

So maybe somebody can show their love for you by paying me back for shipping.

The appropriate @livejournal.com email address for me should work.

No no no

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

You want one of these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2757929708&category=51085)

If I buy you a half pint someday, then, will you shake my hand platonically?

[reddragdiva]

Most certainly :-)

Say, I have an IBM bucklespring with Swedish layout under my fingers right now. Originally shipped with an IBM X-terminal, back way back and rescued from an unloving company (the other X terminal was just standing in a corner, doing nothing, but I wasn't allowed to rescue the screen and actual X terminal).

Now all we need is a tube map for American Tourists with the correct phonetic pronunciation of station names on...

[damerell.livejournal.com]

Don't panic; the One True Keyboard's design has been sublicensed and is still in production - I forget to who, but I'll check my work bookmarks. They also make a non-buckling-spring version for degenerates; and they also make them in black.

I'd have one, except we've got two True Keyboards here already.

alink to a gepgraphically correct tube map. Isn't it pretty?

[arkady.livejournal.com]

I have acquired an original IBM keyboard from Sava.

Free, gratis, for nothing - and it's sitting here in the annex with me. Sava assures me it's in full working order.

It's yours. :-*

[reddragdiva]

*splort*

[arkady.livejournal.com]

I'll take it that's a thank-you then? ;-) When do you want it?

dumb record execs

[mickmercer.livejournal.com]

Nice of Universal to throw their weight behind auctioning gig/tour tickets on eBay. It's just one crap idea after another with them, isn't it?

Re: dumb record execs

[reddragdiva]

I don't think the slow train-wreck collapse of the majors will lead to an artist's world of happy trees and flowers and bunnies. But it'll sure be fun to watch happening.
