Monitor
I have a oldish 14" crt monitor that has been living in a corner of my room for the last year. My charity has run out and it needs a new home, pronto. It's a bit grubby, but still in fully working order. Would anyone on here like it? First refusal will go to Rich, since I think I got it from him originally. If not, i'll freecycle it in a couple of days. Let me know asap, I'm keen to be rid of it. |

I may not be easily available for the next few days, anyone wanting to talk to me would be advised to try calling but if that does not work then to send an email. I may not have reception a lot of the time. Thanks, to everyone. You know who you are. |

Pimpin
I have been given a two week free trial account for Lord of the Rings Online to give away to a friend. Anyone interested? On a not entirely unrelated note, me and my friends are in the market for one or two more people to gang up with in the game. While we're doing fine in most cases there are a couple of instances which are giving us some grief. A dourhand dwarf overseer, which is kind of okay because he's hard as nails. And a bunch of bloody goblins, which is less so because they're fucking goblins dammit. Come on you lot, save me from ignominious defeat at the hands of the lowest ranking monster on the food chain. |

I'm not quite sure whether to be pleased or slightly alarmed that the apple I bought in Sweden to eat on the flight back here, ie a month ago, was still fresh and crisp and juice when I ate it earlier today. |

A recent conversation
sentientfiction: I don't understand why I don't have any space left on my C drive, the computer is brand new and there shouldn't be much on it. Irrumator: Honey, like I said earlier please just wait until I get home and can take a proper look at it. sentientfiction: But I don't understand because I hardly have anything on it, just a few pictures and some music and word files. Irrumator: Honey, I have to tell you that I think a badger has got into your computer and eaten your hard drive. sentientfiction: What?? Oh my god, oh my god, do you think I said the wrong thing to my antivirus?! Irrumator: Um, honey, you did hear what I just said about a badger..? sentientfiction: Isn't that some kind of virus or something, like a worm? Irrumator: No dear, a badger is a big furry thing in the forest. sentientfiction: ... Current Mood:  Entertained |

They are making a movie of Zelda. It looks like it's going to be really really bad, as in D&D the movie bad, possibly even worse. Judge for yourselves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGR6eeB37cwThe Machine Girl trailer on the other hand (there should be a link in the related videos). Now that looks like it's going to be made of WIN! In the words of the trailer - Yakuza, ninjas, tempura, sushi, chainsaws, flying guillotine, drillbra, revenge! |

Propagation
http://www.notoagebanding.org/I do have to say that this seems like an appalling idea (as in what they're protesting not that they're protesting it). Anyone passionate about literature and getting people/kids to read more should probably have a look at this, then maybe sign up and pass the word. |

Free stuff
http://www.oxorinoco.org/One of our customers, who is exceptionally cool, runs a recycling centre in Headington. This Saturday he's having a giveaway of books. I don't know what the volumes are but they must be reasonably large cause he's advertising all around the local area. Reference books, novels, childrens books, all manner of stuff. They're all brand new, and they're all 100% free. See the website above for details. |

Query
I have a new computer system which appears to be working reasonably well (thanks be to those who helped bring this about - you know who you are), with one rather worrying exception. I used a USB flash drive on it, which proceeded to get unusually hot, and has since then refused to work. This happened twice before I realized the connection, the first one I used was a bit shit anyway and I thought it might just be being a bit more crap than usual, but the second one has always been very stable and reliable. I'm more than a little reluctant to try it out with another one, but am not sure what to do. Advice anyone? |
