Colour scheme
I must say the Queen looks fabulous in her Amiga Workbench 1.3 colour scheme today.

Darwin Award
This is a whole new form of entertainment. I'm sat at my desk at work and I've got a direct view of a guy in the process of earning himself a Darwin Award. He's fixing a window on a high roof with no safety equipment whatsoever. He recently dropped something off the roof by mistake and peered over precariously to see where it landed. It now looks ( Read more... ) -
You have won…
Amnesty International
Dear Mr Le Cuirot,
I'm delighted to let you know that your lottery number 123456 has come up in the draw this week and you have…

Arson
Nothing inspires you to move house quite like a potentially serious case of arson right outside your kitchen window. Marna's eagle eye saved a garden furniture store from burning down. I think we at least deserve a free lawn chair or something. =P -
Real Ale
My sister just called. She's at a CAMRA real ale festival in Saltburn. She wanted to inform me that she'd tried an ale and she hated it. I informed her that ales vary a lot and it took three months before I actually developed a taste for them.
"Are you saying I have to drink three months of ale in one night?"

API Call
(15:47:00) Draggy: i'm doing javascript all day
(15:47:09) Draggy: with an incomplete API
(15:48:25) Draggy: i can pull back info, i can't send any :(
(15:49:50) James: Mr. Anderson... what good is an API call... if you're unable to send?
(15:50:09) Draggy: I should smack you for typing that
(15:50:13) James: hahaha -
Cancer Man
I occasionally have to take the coach to work and there's this one guy I never fail to notice. He's a dead ringer for Cancer Man from the X-Files. He even wears a suit and gets off the coach to have a smoke. I wasn't a massive X-Files fan but I know enough about it to appreciate how cool that is. -
[LJ2ME] Somewhat sinister
Back on the train again. Nearly missed it but I won't tell that story now. I'm sharing this time but the guy is very friendly. Also feel like we're sharing with the two Americans next door. I joked about how "piercing" the accent is ( Read more... ) -
Asterisk
Haha. I'm the biggest geek. I'll get to the point now because you'll probably stop reading after this. I've made it so that when we make a phone call on either of our cordless phones or when a call comes in, it automatically fades the music/TV/whatever volume down and when the call ends, it fades it back up again. Why? BECAUSE I CAN ( Read more... )
