• The perks of a Nobel Prize in physics.

• Saudi youth have way too much time on their hands.

• Gosh, I'm glad the terror laws protect us.

I appear to be mostly well. My back hurts like hell from lying in bed too long.

I'm on call and hence trapped in the house until Monday. No Vagabonds tomorrow, poot! They're also making me work for a living. (Just now, chasing wild geese for three hours. If it wasn't for the beer and hookers ...) I did get a text and a message for Sysadmin Appreciation Day. Both from fellow sysadmins.

I think I've run out of intarweb. Suggestions please.

No rain or frost to fuck them up.

And evidently very rich shoe shops if people keep doing that!

But very poor sound quality.

It's amusing. Listening to old speeches of Feynman's on YouTube is actually a really good example of what a Brooklyn accent sounds like. No real surprises there, it's just a really good authentic example.

The disturbing comments on the Saudi video are almost more captivating than the video itself, which is kind of sweet.

As well as being glad we're protected by terror laws, I'm also glad that this was 'an isolated incident'. I completely trust the Kent police on this, as they've got such an excellent track record (8 days!!!) (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/7512447.stm). They're clearly making good use of their shiny new powers (http://www.kent.police.uk/News/Latest_News/Terrorism.html).

Terror laws, shmerror laws. I'm out of this country in October to somewhere civilised. Their courts even think it's reasonable to publish Oyster hacks :)

(Feel free to visit once I'm settled.)

You are, I trust, going to allow suitable *pint*age to be provided for you prior to your departure?

And half-litrage afterwards, yes.

There is also the small detail of a small cache of already-opened single malt whiskies which will need consuming in the UK.

I am thinking that an ASRBrum on August Bank Holiday would be a cracking idea. Perhaps even RDD will make it :)

I think that sounds like a splendid suggestion -- especially if the esteemed Skud can be persuaded to appear also?

[BTW -- am in London for three days next week, fancy a swift jar or two one evening? I may be in need of one the way things are going at the moment!]

re: saudi youth, I quit watching when I realized that if it were on youtube, it's probably not a snuff film.
