[livejournal.com profile] tals' funeral and wake photos are up. I need the names filled in (I'll be going back over them tomorrow, I am stupidly tired right now). If you hate your picture, remember that's how the event happened — you were that drunk. And [livejournal.com profile] metzkass will of course SEE ALL OF THEM.

The voice chat piece is doing great on Uncyclopedia, but is getting fucking creamed on Kuro5hin (login required). Bah, fuck 'em! Unless it survives, of course.

There was police tape and cars around a stretch of Hoe Street just south of Walthamstow Central station this evening, so I couldn't fetch chicken for our dinner. Huh? [livejournal.com profile] teqkiller, [livejournal.com profile] muftak?

(Update: Liz tells me two people were stabbed. Eek! This is a nice suburb for nice people!)

[livejournal.com profile] arkady has made it to Wales alive. No intarweb until she gets the DSL modem working. She has left me with something to remember her by: [livejournal.com profile] redcountess appears to have been been bitten by a radioactive doll weirdo. oh noes. "resistance is futile. i have learned this."[livejournal.com profile] cavalorn. I suppose we'd bought all the gadgetry that was conceivably useful. The camera must have been the last straw. I have been quietly geeking all evening while she looks through doll site after doll site ... it does beat her playing patience on the Zire.

The camera is being a minor nuisance: it won't reliably show up as a USB hard disk when hooked to my Ubuntu laptop or FreeBSD desktop. It actually froze the FreeBSD box completely when I unplugged it. Gah! It works with the Mac, though, and presumably Windows. I think this is something to do with using an MMC card, or this particular MMC card — with no card (just the internal memory) it works fine, and Arkady's (with an SD card) works fine with her Ubuntu laptop and has an SD card. I really should get a 1 gig SD card for it. Actually, I should try my camera on my computers with an SD card.

Non-geeks should stop reading here.
