How many elements of the periodic table can you recall?

I scored 37.

On my way back from the southernmost extremity of Zone 6, after having wondered "Why so many people travelling to London?" and fought the Underground, I arrived at Euston.

My train was for Desiro.

I conclude that this must be one of the little stations somewhere North of Watford Tunnel (which is the divide between commute-to-work and ooh-exciting!), maybe in the Birmingham area.

Confusion, then, when the train going in the opposite direction was also for... Desiro.

?!?!?

I'm trying out VMware 6.5 beta 2, which has a new installer.

What does it do?

Vomits the beta to its idea of default locations on my filesystem, doesn't give me the option to put it somewhere specific, and then say "Oh, BTW, I'm going to try to compile some kernel modules for you".

Whatever happened to the concept of asking before dumping your crap everywhere?

I highly recommend you add diblemming, for it is Steph - my wonderful but distant ex - and her Liberal Democrat stuff :)

Yeah, woah.

DD-WRT beats the pants off any other form of wireless AP in the sub-£50 bracket.

I've just thrown it on a Buffalo WRT-54GS that I have here, and it's slick.

Time to bung it on some others I think :-)

Happy Birthday to the fantastic strangelover!

*pint, cake*

Plant bukkake--

Mmm, high pollen count today.

Maybe that's why I've already sneezed myself in to oblivion barely 30 minutes in to my commute.

'twas only yesterday I was saying I've not had a hayfever attack for a while... :(

I have just included a deeface on a network diagram to indicate displeasure.

...aca arriving in the office with a veritable ARMLOAD of coffee for the team...

...and a soya coffee for me.

Yes, bourbon biscuits are a valid breakfast choice.

"btw are you on a train or at work or home?"

She knows me :-D

"hello, is that the fake tan company?  yes - i've accidentally overdosed on your product - what's your policy on that?"

"Closeness is a state of comfort, not due to proximity"

I'm on the train.

There's a businessman, dressed in a smart suit with his papers on the table.

There's a youngish chap, dressed in jeans, a T-shirt and a hoodie.

Which do you think is causing irritation to the rest of the passengers by having his MP3 player turned up far too loud, blasting out his music for all to hear?

It's not me, it's the suit *points, glares*

It's not cake.

It's Cake.

poggs Either way, arriving at Gatwick at 9am gives me a good hour to mooch around
severe_delays Yeah, but that will get eaten up with dropping your bags and wandering to the departure lounge'n'stuff
poggs Bags? It's a day-trip. Cabin baggage.
severe_delays Seriously - put your bag in. That way you can fuck off for a bit and there's no way the plane can leave without you.
poggs laughs out loud and hard
severe_delays They'd rather send sniffer dogs round the airport than have to work out which was your bag and get it out the hold
