Well is it plague, or is it cholera, or because Macky's in town?

• You can now get a goth bass. Aren't you lucky!

Zzz splat. redcountess is particularly unwell this evening, so I'm missing both karen2205's going-away do and Dreadnought. As such, I'm taking the opportunity to feel utterly exhausted.

The search for the next gig continues apace. I have an interview booked for next Wednesday morning at a nu meeja company in the city. The website is entirely in Flash; if you don't have Flash, it lectures you on why you should.

Tomorrow is the first official meeting of Wikimedia UK. After the last few, I have suggested we hold it standing, outside, in the snow if applicable, while I blow smoke at everyone. That should focus people's attention nicely. Next Thursday I record a BBC radio interview.

This 560X is the little laptop that couldn't quite. It can just about play MP3s on the way to work, though it has trouble playing solitaire at the same time. I was going to Debian or Ubuntu it, but I think I gave away all my working floppy drives with the others, and it's far too senile to boot from CD or USB. We got sniped on a replacement N410c system board on eBay, but I was cheered to see a full working machine go for £150.

Still not reading LJ. Email or comment with important news.

Tinylinux or one of that ilk? With old-fashioned Xwindows rather than a window manager? Or an ancient Slackware distro such as 4? I ran that on a 486/50 laptop with 16 megs of RAM once in a day. It had that ACSII command-line mp3 player. Hey, it worked.

Epiphone also advertise a Goth Flying V.

Did David J & Steve Severin die in vain?

Apparently.

I wasn't aware Steve Severin was dead!

I kinda like the matt black guitars, esp this one (http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?ProductID=36&CollectionID=5).

I don't want a goth boss. I want a gay one.

I guess it comes as no surprise that I would want the Trailer Park Troubadour Airscreamer Electric ;)

Thunderbird good. At least it's just black and doesn't have wanky decorations. Another string would be nice.

/me notes that actually it is the first meeting of the Board of Directors of Wiki Educational Resources Ltd, rather than "Wikimedia UK" ;-P
