Iain Banks (The Steep Approach To Garbdale) and C.S. Lewis (The Four Loves) write almost identically on the subject of being in love with being in love.

And the award for Generic Headline 2007 goes to the Beeb, for "Millions celebrate Christmas Day" (which may only have appeared on the RSS feed, but I will not be denied my faint feint at humour!)

Merry Christmas from me, also.

Cake: Outlook 2007 performs worse on this laptop than Evolution 1.4.5.
Icing: Outlook 2007 (possibly in concert with the GPG plugin I use) renders signed messages unreadable, apparently in such a way that the original message is trashed.
Sprinkles: Evolution 1.4.5 works with the server which Evolution 2.anything refuses to talk to.

I love it when technology makes my life difficult.

According to the Diamond High Council, "It is not a symbol of eternal love if it is something that was created last week.".

Never mind that, I'm still giggling at the notion of a "Diamond High Council"

So as a result of a forwarded mail from a guy in the UK, I'm helping someone in Finland with a wireless networking problem.

Sometimes I think the InterWeb is just the coolest thing.

  • Static electricity will be the death of me.

  • I appear to have an incredibly powerful weirdo/gay magnet running, and I've no idea how to switch it off. Dammit.



Freakiest example of item two so far has been the guy who sat next to me at the bar with his wife, and by way of conversation repeatedly used the word "gay" and the phrase "fuckyou" (yes, as if it were all one word) and had about him the demeanour of someone who, while not a mafioso himself, has watched far too many gangster movies. He left after a drink, came back by himself, and got pissed off when I switched to talking to the (German) girls next to me in French once I'd established that he didn't understand the language himself.
