Vagabonds was great fun. I had an overwhelming urge to dance and socialise and hardly went mad with the camera at all until near the end. I fear the F20's 'l33t ISO 2000 sk1llz aren't up to the dark in Vagabonds. The new F200 claims a frankly insane ISO 12800. That'd about handle it.

I have been off work ill yesterday and today with a cold. I'm writing this in Chrome in a virtual Windows 7 while I compile Wine in Cygwin on Windows 7 on Linux.

I have no idea what to write for fake news today.

Well, to be fair, Encarta hasn't been a real product for ages. It's not even an encyclopedia. It's an early-90s tech demo of CD-ROMs.

I have some time off after easter *yay for me*

Any chance I can buy you beer in exchange for helping me put kubuntu or something similar on my dying Eeeee, by USB *bats eyelashes*. Possibly fixing the broken left mouse-clicky thingy ;-)

(I'll throw in a wiggle in a proper bra and a tight t-shirt for that last sentence)

I'm well out of practice with command line linux installs.......sip is my thing these days ;-)

If the extended family prefers I can throw in a 'Ready Steady Cook' style carrier bag for 6.5 and invite myself for lunch/dinner ;-)
The wiggle will happily be performed for all!
I suspect rice or pasta might be involved along with the rest of the food groups.........
(I am not lugging root vegetables for 6.5 from Sussex *grins*)

Otherwise I have a week off late in June.... *sigh*

Work is insane....better than pending redundancy, but they are trying to turn me into a *manager*

*SPITS*

ok, ok, so its a 'technical services' manager.... but still .....

Sounds rockin'!

Hmm,

nyecamden's Eee 701 has a dying left mouse button too ... so he plugged an external mouse into it.

That's 5.5, and I'm sure we can provide the root vegetables (maybe even amusingly shaped ones!) And wiggle away ;)

Um, er...
3 = adults
2 = teenagers
1 = me, inviting myself
1/2 = toddler

I count 6.5 *grin*

i'll accept any freshly grown and/or pilfered root vegetables...but I do consider the potato as a completely useless food group of it own. Really, potatoes should be avoided and I don't understand the English fascination with potatoes and white bread, (and mayonnaise with *everything*, but that's another discussion).
Due to its incredibly high GI value potato is just some weirdo useless sugar, best avoided at all costs.
Basmati rice has a very low GI value and its worth the *shudder* £2 per kilo for a decent import, (I still cannot get used to how much they charge for rice that doesn't taste like 'warehouse sweepings' in this country for a staple that feeds 90% of the world's population, but that's another rant).
And no corn based products allowed for anyone with sugar based problems ;-)

So I suspect you'll get basmati rice ;-)

Rice is just fine :) (I took root vegetables to mean all of them, including carrots, parsnips etc.) And I keep forgetting corn is high on the GI :/

From:

stilkil.livejournal.com

Oh, if you have *coloured root veg' that is fine ;-)
Red sweet potato is really good - low GI, high carb, has the red antioxidant content - nothing bad there - its all fantastic really. Parsnips aren't bad either on the higher carb, low Gi thing. I find carrots taste funny - but apparently that's just me ;-)

Potatoes are nutritionally useless and corn is actually worse.
What corn does to your blood sugar is almost criminal. I would never even think of feeding you corn......

*pfft* peripherals are a pain.
In my case it's probably some jammed food under the button....

I reckon a good dismantle and vacuum would clear that problem up and if I'm going to that much trouble, may as well go a complete reinstall of something that might actually be useful *grin*.

Worth beer/food and wiggle in my book ;-)

I have no idea what to write for fake news today.

G20 protesters persuade leaders to abandon capitalism, adopt simple agrarian existence?

Hi David,
Lovely to meet you Saturday, although my memory of the night is a bit blurry so must've had a good time lol but I do remember you taking me and Rae's picture at some point:D I'm gonna send you an email to your gmail so you've got my email so you can send me the original camera JPEG, if it's not too much trouble. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Rae's got a bit of a cold must be catching :P
Get well soon!

Dude... I'm writing this in Chrome in a virtual Windows 7 while I compile Wine in Cygwin on Windows 7 on Linux.... That's possibly the nerdiest thing I've heard in years, and I'm on Twitter!
