Tell me how long's the train been gone?

Further Alf alarm clocks: NX9105 laptop motherboard (minus CPU, but I'm chasing one that is b0rken with intact CPU), Compaq PA-2 MP3 player (so hideously proprietary that nothing else can read the file system on the MMC cards — I'm about to try the horribly alpha Linux driver), two Compaq power bricks, the correct wifi adapter for this laptop and ... an Exilim EX-S500 for £126 total! (Going rate £175-200.) The camera of many of my dreams; tiny, 3× optical zoom, five megapixels. And about a zillion dollie things for redcountess and arkady. GIVE ME A JOB SO I'M NOT ON EBAY ALL DAY.

A visit today from _nicolai_ and mathilde. They had exhausted themselves at the London Transport Museum Depot, which counts as trainspotter extreme sports. And bought themselves a geographically accurate London Connections map, which Arkady, Liz and I decided we all desperately needed. Not on the website, but you can get them for ten quid each from the shop in Covent Garden. Nicolai wants to get two or three, cut them into A4 sections and laminate them and put them into a binder to pick up geek chicks impress his geek friends.

The house is clean, as in clean clean clean. (Spare room is still a pit.) Tomorrow we aim to strike Arkady's flat. TREPIDATION.

Note: I'm still basically not reading LJ, which means this is less of a journal and more of a blog of late. Please alert me directly to anything important, either here or by email to dgerard@gmail.com .

Well, to answer your anonymous question, myspace is overrun mostly with two types: teenagers and musicians. myspace makes it easy (or so i hear) for musicians to set up a page and throw up some audio samples. As for the teenagers... well, that was LiveJournal 5 years ago.

Remember the good old days ... when teenagers didn't want anyone to read their diary.
