The same old scene.

• I was originally joking when I called Windows a job creation scheme for mediocre techs.

• Republicanism and porn correlate.

• When being a bishop is punk rock.

• Longest gap ever between blog posts.

• Rocknerd: Albatross.

Trapped at home on call until Monday morning. syringavulgaris is in the UK tomorrow, going home Monday. (Happy birthday to sbp!) Bah!

Saw a girl on the tube with a Get Hip Records bag. I told her I approved. I'm contemplating my own half a ton vinyl albatross rather less cheerfully. I want rid of the damn thing. This involves (a) a lot of ripping vinyl to digital (b) getting rid of the physical objects.

Quite a lot of it is indie rock which is literally unavailable in the world except on a thousand pieces of vinyl, so the right place (after preserving the music) would probably be a library who cared, which would mean in Australia, with me donating the shipping as well. Anything in the vinyl pile that exists on CD can bugger off. A few things (not more than a few crates) I'll want to keep. That takes care of most of it, I think. I'm sure I'll get all this done before I die.

There's a lotta cassettes to rip too.

Lovely date with nyecamden last night. Most cheering.
