Happy September 3500th! See Figure 1.

[reddragdiva]

Went out with some BOFHs (Ingvar, Gideon, Jen) to celebrate the 3500th September, 1993. Mongolian Barbecue decided to September us by having had a fire and not be reopening until this weekend, so we decamped to the Porterhouse and drank lots of extremely nice beer and ate pub food. I got to have a Cooper's Sparkling for the first time in over a year.

The CompactFlash reader doesn't want to talk to my FreeBSD box, but apparently the problem is likely soluble with some light kernel hacking. Probably.

Being without the camera, today was of course the day I saw some tube mice at Leicester Square. I really will need a camera for Whitby. Anyone got one spare I can borrow for a couple of weeks? That old 1.3 megapixel that gobbles batteries like pills? I will bribe you! Beer! Candy! Hookers! Steak'n'blowjobs! Fiddy pee! A cig! NOT THAT I'M JONESING OR ANYTHING HERE ...

We are definitely moving into the new place on Sunday. w00t! Transport to be supplied by leunnammi. If the mattress can be squashed into his car, we won't even need a trailer.

Tube mice are so CUTE!

I have an old CyberShot kicking about somewhere... won't be in London before the 12th of April, though...

God, haven't had steak in months, either...

I shall begin the delicate negotiations with the lovers to whom I gave my (very) old digicam, but who never use it. Whitby might be the very occasion when they want to get into the habit of using it, of course...

and they squeeze into the tiniest of holes on the platform...

Maaaate!

*pint*pint*pint*pint*pint*

What's it use for memory?

CF, but my 128Mb CF card makes it unhappy, in a "requiring frequent batteries-out resets" sort of way.

On the other hand, since I'm going straight to London from Whitby, I'll have my laptop with built-in CF slot and CD burner with me. Handy or what?

It's just occurred to me that I'll also have my jukebox recorder. Hell, I could make bootlegs of the bands and burn them to CD that evening - how l33t sad would that be?

Baybee. You are getting so *pint*ed. If it takes AA, all the better (NiMH and charger to hand). What's the resolution?

4xAA, 1.3MP. It's a Kodak DC250 IIRC. Don't *pint* me, *pint* ergotia, it's her and lilithmagna's camera now but she might be persuaded to part with it for a wee while (oh, and she drinks brandy and soda...)

[reddragdiva]

A pint of brandy and soda it'll be then!

damn I missed a significant date in septemeber.
I'll just have to dirnk more to make up for it.
Something needs to be done come the 3650th of september.

[reddragdiva]

The first of September 2003 will actually be the 3652nd of September 1993 (I think).

Looks plausable, so we start drinking on the 3650th of september and keep drinking until the 10th aniversary of September and hopefully all the pain will go away.

As the 3650th of September is a saturday, I suggest we start drinking the day before and have a spetember memorial weekend.

I _love_ tube mice. Seeing them always cheers me up.
