It's late, shift... I WISH I KNEW HOW TO QUIT YOU! [PICS]

22:46 / 07.01.06

I've come up with the perfect solution!
I'll go buy some chips from the place a few hundred yards up the road, then watch the next Masters Of Horror which I haven't seen yet!

Wicked!

Anyone still here?

22:53 / 07.01.06

I'll have a sausage supper, if you're off to the chippie. Cheers!

I'm watching a BBC costume drama on dvd that I've never seen. Must get back to the next chapter of crinolines and parasols in Barchester High Street.

23:02 / 07.01.06

Turns out it actually made more sense to go to the shop a couple of doors up and buy rice and stuff and let the microwave do the rest.

Enjoy your telly drama, Xoc, as I'm sure I'll enjoy mine!

Mebbe see you here in a couple of hours.

Or I could be unconscious by then. It's hard to tell.

Well, it's midnight, and I'm struggling to squeeze a little more power out of an ages old machine I've just turned into a linux box. So far it's not going so well. But hey, I am posting from it, so it goes atleast. What's everyone else up to?

05:05 / 08.01.06

dude!
what's the RAM?
i've been doing a similar thing recently, see.
lets share!
or, well, you share.
mine isnt working yet.

I was going to do this, then whack in a video card and turn it into PVR/music player, but it looks like my old PC's power supply has died, with perfect timing. So, I'll have to get round to putting Ubuntu on shinynew PC and hoping I don't kill it.

15:06 / 08.01.06

i think it was you who reccomended the ubuntu to me originally, tanndude.
do you know much about the possible reasons it might not boot? is there a lightweight linux that i can use in my crappy pentium 2 shitbag?

how's yer evening going?

15:11 / 08.01.06

Evening, Barbelith.

All Acting Regiment

15:19 / 08.01.06

Hang on...on my computer it says 17:19 but on Barbelith it's past six...eh?

15:19 / 08.01.06

ev'nin yerself.

15:23 / 08.01.06

Barbelith's in the future.

toksik: Maybe try FreeBSD? There's something called femtolinux, I think, which is weeny, but I've never used it. I ran Knoppix as a live disk and installed Ubuntu 4.10 or so on my P3 (450MHz), which worked fine... a lot of the space is taken up by the GUI, so it mgiht depend on how comfortable you are with just using a command line.

16:11 / 08.01.06

cool.
thats something to look at at least.
see, i think i may have to start replacing bits. my pc is very old, and i have sneaky suspicion the boot from disk option only works on slightly newer machines than this.

in other news, everybody has seen brokeback mountain except me.

bastards.

16:14 / 08.01.06

I haven't seen it yet. Fuck, I haven't even seen King Kong.

16:25 / 08.01.06

ah, shit!
i knew there was something else...

alas

19:31 / 08.01.06

Count me amongst the Brokeback virgins, ye early lateshifters.

Brigade du jour

22:12 / 08.01.06

Me too. But I intend to see it very soon, it seems that it just might rule.

Jarhead's out soon, too. Time to get a Jake-on!

22:22 / 08.01.06

I'm currently cursing Ganesh for my Celebrity Big Brother addiction. Fucking enablers, eh?

I'm also trying to ration my cigarettes, on the grounds that I can afford EITHER more smokes or more beers, and I really can't be arsed to walk to the cashpoint.

Just watched the first three episodes of Invasion, though, and thought they were wicked. It's Cole from Sunset Beach... fighting an alien invasion!!! On what level does that NOT work???

Brigade du jour

22:29 / 08.01.06

Why do I always miss the GOOD shit telly?

22:30 / 08.01.06

I too have enjoyed the first three of Invasion. Handsome bloke, the one who's keen on botany, although very shaven. Series shaping up well. Plus Battlestar Galactica Two from Tuesday on Sky.

I have also seen Brokeback Mountain. Twice. In fact, Jake and Heath are my new best friends and we are all going "fishing" together at the weekend.

But I have to get up early and go to work tomorrow after two whole weeks of getting up about lunchtime. Bad bad bad.

22:36 / 08.01.06

Galactica was on Sky? And I spent ages yesterday BitTorrenting the fucker?

Ah well. Probably won't get round to watching it until tomorrow anyway.

22:41 / 08.01.06

You will be watching Jeremy Bamber defeat the Cylons and I shall be sitting glumly at my desk doing all the work I put off and put off again as Christmas approached. Oh, the horror! The horror!

22:46 / 08.01.06

Yeah, but at eleven tomorrow night you'll probably be sat in front of the telly with a bottle of wine while I turn up at the office.

Swings and roundabouts, really... I'm currently trying really hard not to watch BG cos I think I'll appreciate it more when not pissed. My resolve, however, is failing...

sleazenation

23:01 / 08.01.06

Gwan stoatie - watch BSG - if only cos i want more people to comment on it in the BSG thread...

23:05 / 08.01.06

Unfortunately I've already seen that too, and the next few, but am looking forward to the rest, in good time.

All the pleasure is behind me now and only the pain ahead. Oh, woe is me! Oh, misery! *gnashes teeth in a Jodie Marsh kinda way*

No sign of me going to sleep and I should have done long since. *sigh*
