Morning
Well I've been sat in bed reading the papers.
Guess I'd better get up.

What is everyone else doing this windy day?

I think I shall stay home alone today as I have terrible smelly wind.

Hello
The sun is shining, and I've been up since 10am - something of a record for me on a Sunday. And I've been shopping for tonight's dinner - roast chicken stuffed with garlic cloves and herbs; nestled in half a bottle of white whine, with sweet potatoes, carrots, curly kale and parsnips - all roasted as well*. Nom.

And I'm off out late this afternoon to watch Newcastle attempt to play football and drink beer, after getting Sweary Jr kitted out with a new winter coat and some football boots for school.

I feel so middle aged...

*Except for the curly kale - that would be silly.

Followed by cooking another meal for the hungry squad, I can finally get a shower and head into town to get Junior's glasses fixed.

And my hand slipped across the head of the guitar, where the ends of strings are.

(bamboozled Can hear you getting fatter, Sun 5 Oct 2008, 23:25, Reply)

My bass is fine
Because the ends of the bass strings are inserted into the centre of the tuning pegs, and are therefore not dangerous.

I just haven't trimmed the ends of the strings on the acoustic enough, or at least not as much as I usually would, and hence the problems. There was a previous incident with a school guitar and the strings which wasn't fun either.

laptop in bed
Wish I had that luxury. My laptop doesn't work without the cable, and also needs an external monitor to combat a shit screen

I'm
playing boggle... I am terrifyingly competitive therefore can't take my eyes off the screen while I am boggling.

Boggle is
this

I'm playing online against about 80 other players.

Ah, I just remembered something I should be doing instead though... I've got loads of vids I took at the jam session today to upload.

My laptop
is also plugged in (both by power and ethernet). I only got it last week and the screen is quite good, but I miss the 1600x1200 of my (much slower) desktop PC.

Also, I'm getting used to the touchpad and it's many gestures. I just have to make sure I don't accidentally click on a link I don't want to click on. Whilst taking a peek at /talk the other day, I partially violated my talk-cherry by clicking "I like this" on a /talk post.

EDIT: 'night flesh

Lol mista
I did the same thing! Shame there's no way to unclick...

I love my laptop. My family clubbed together and got it me for my birthday after my old laptop died. So it's new and everything works (it's the first pooter I've had which isn't second had), and it's a delight to use.

I don't have a wireless router though, so it's as portable as a 15m cable allows it to be...

That's kind of your parents.

This is my first wireless laptop and I too am sticking to wired for the time being. Did a scan of my neighbourhood and discovered two unsecured wifi hotspots in the area. Still haven't paid much thought to the ethics of unsecured wifi.

Well, my mum, stepdad and brothers...
And I give thanks to them every time I use it!

I live so far out in the sticks there's no chance of ANY wireless networks, unsecured or not, regardless of whether I would use them...
