What am I doing right now? Picking my jaw up off the floor where it fell with a painful thud of complete and utter disbelief.

Lefty: Well, there's this error message that says it can't report the mail client crash because the packages aren't up to date. (Indignantly) I can read, you know.
Hugo: Yes, of course. I'm sorry, Lefty.
Lefty: That's ok, Hugo. ... Hey, Hugo?
Hugo: Yes, Lefty?
Lefty: How do all those packages fit inside that little laptop? Are they really really small? Does she have to unwrap them first? And will the old ones start to smell if she doesn't throw them out?
Hugo: (sigh)

Addendum:
Lefty: Hugo, what does "farking" mean?
Hugo: It means neko doesn't like Microsoft Exchange.
Lefty: Oh. ... Maybe we should get her some more chocolate.
Hugo: I think you're right, Lefty. And how's that purring coming along?

Purring socks bearing chocolates, what more could you ask for?

Just been watching a video of an incident at the G20 protests last week in London. Shocking stuff.

I'm thinking calming thoughts now about purring socks bringing chocolate...

Was that the man who was pushed over and had a heart attack? I caught the images, but had no sound on the TV earlier this night.

pssst! hey, Zelda. it's french. it means there are eggs in Neko's socks.

Why that's important, I have no clue. Some days I amaze myself just how clueless I can be.

Pushed would be a bit of a mild way of putting it - the vid is up on the Grauniad's website - there's a slo-mo bit at the end which shows a baton being swung at the back of his legs: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/ap...police-assault

Purring socks with eggs and chocolate can mean only thing - it's Chocolate Egg Season soon!

Or I'm losing what little grasp on sanity I used to kid myself into believing I had (Pshrynk, I've set up a standing order with the laddy, 'k?)

Writing a story about two immortal lovers unable to consummate their love. Oh, and smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee. And wearing a hat. And listening to NIN.

I should put something witty in here about Hugo and Lefty and getting Daz Studio (my 3d app of choice) to work on Linux running wine, but I really don't have the energy. Could we all just pretend I wrote something? Or someone else could take a stab at it. Random phrases to include:

Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT"
FARKING DLLs!

I've finally realised that I now (well, now that I've stopped using Thunderbird and started just using GMail's web frontend) pretty much only use a browser (Firefox) on this here laptop, running Windows XP.

Being a "change is as good as a holiday" kinda guy, I'm thinking Ubuntu, or maybe something like Presto (or similar) when it comes out - have the instant-on, but leave Windows XP there in case I ever need it. Or maybe Hackintosh the thing, for fun. It'll probably be Ubuntu (I'm just waiting on the official release of 9).

Whadayareckon? Neko?

Cheers,
Marc
