Morning everyone! We're nearly halfway through the week. How are we all?
( , Wed 25 Feb 2009, 8:44, 246 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

I got an early night last night but still feel tired today. Not as bad as I was feeling last night though.
I think I'll take it easy again tonight, perhaps tidy up a bit and mess about learning about linux some more before heading to bed nice and early again.
How has the week been treating you?

A bad hairy with scary eyes man was trying to get in and he was chasing me and I beat him almost to death with a hoe. Then he threw a rubber ball in the air and caught it in his mouth and choked and died, and I was joyous because I hadn't actually killed him, he killed himself.

I've had 2 now and both the charging docks have gone a bit shitty. I can't just drop it in and forget anymore, I have to piss about getting it to sit just right and charge.
The MX revolution looks great but I'd rather get a mouse that uses AA or AAA batteries as it means fewer wires, fewer power points and no need to worry about docks going shit.
I'll probably get the VX nano too for my netbook to replace my shitty optical mouse. When I bought that mouse I didn't realise how much I took the resolution of a laser mouse for granted.
( , Wed 25 Feb 2009, 10:55, Reply)

I vastly prefer having a lithium battery one though, I only charge them once a fortnight or so and I use my one at work all day! Not too keen on swapping batteries, I have an MX Nano as well and have been through a couple of sets in that...
The advantage of the MX Revolution is that the transceiver is a USB dongle, whilst the charging cradle is completely separate, so you can put that anywhere convenient. Better than having to connect the cradle to power and USB.

Genius idea, we've got rid of the balls out of the bottom of mouses cos they clog up, let's add another one on the top!
It's also the least ergonomic mouse ever, and is a bit schizophrenic in its ability to decide which button you're trying to press!
The mouses are one of my least favourite things about Apples (and I have a very long list*)

Watch the movie Waiting.
You'll be grossed out. And you'll love it.

"Waiting" is a good film.

I would love shenanigans with you this weekend, but unfortunately I can't, I already booked. :(
EDIT Vampy, what to fall further into depravity? If so I am so moving to where you live!

Or trademark or copyright - whichever - my idea for an Irish-themed cross-dressing bar called "Shemanigans".

I'm alright, although the fantasy world in my head where I have magic powers is obviously cooler than reality (and requires me to make less of an effort). My goal is to be completely delusional within five years.

So who is this B3tan? You can tell me I won't tell a soul.

I'm toying with the idea of, when I next have some disposable income, buying a barcode reader, a data matrix reader and a mag strip card reader to piss about with.
I'm starting to consider having a barcode or data matrix tattoo to go with my planned Li2CaO3 and dot to dot ones.

Would be fun to get a fake e-passport implanted , if it's possible. Could cause a lot of confusion with immigration with that and probably get into a lot of trouble too!
@TGB Most barcode tattoos I've seen certainly aren't readable and I can't be sure about the rest. If I got a data matrix (or one of the other scannable data formats) hardly anybody would know what it was. In some ways I think that'd be cooler.
@Bill I can't decide on that yet
@Sam I was thinking code 39 or 93 as I believe they're readable by most scanners.

Just had to move to new guesthouse. (No, was not thrown out of last one. Boys there can't wait for my return this w/e.)
Vampy- you are all intrigue today. Assuming you are feeling better.
Herr Doktor- that is a shame. Sure whatever you've got planned will be fun. Hope it is depraved!
Kaol and Sam - holiday is superb thus far. The tonic.
Bert- you need a good spanking.
Sorry if I missed anyone. My CrackBerry has suffered much. Cackers does play *rough* at times...

I was trying to say that I think the ones that look unreadable look shit, that the ones that look readable look cooler but that I only think they're cool if they're actually readable.
Perhaps I'll just wait to see whether QR codes or the data matrix emerge as an international standard.
( , Wed 25 Feb 2009, 12:23, Reply)

even if they are inked perfectly for reading the moment you move the skin stretches differently killing the geometry!
( , Wed 25 Feb 2009, 12:26, Reply)

The ink will bleed out blurring the image probably making it unreadable as well
( , Wed 25 Feb 2009, 12:28, Reply)

I'll knock that idea on the head. I can't see a data matrix or QR code being any better in those respects either.
Perhaps I'll just have to get RFID implants instead then =p

the word "Love" tattooed on my wrist in black ink for my 18th I'm fairly sure.
21st will be a lower back tattoo unless I can afford one earlier.

soething like this on the inside of my wrist and then some kind of band around the rest of it maybe
But I dunno. *ums and ahhs*
Something like the middle strip on this flag
( , Wed 25 Feb 2009, 12:52, Reply)

That's the only word I'd ever get. Love is love, it's beautiful and I don't think I'll ever find myself deliberately cutting it out of my life. Love is stupid, irrational, drives me absolutely mental but it's still love and I know it's out there.
EDIT: So there's your mushy moment for tonight. I am in love. and it's showing.
( , Wed 25 Feb 2009, 12:56, Reply)

I've been around Kaol too much I found myself thinking "No you'll find yourself cutting it out of your wrist at 3 in the morning surrounded by empty bottles and promises"
I think that means it's time for a smoke...
( , Wed 25 Feb 2009, 13:01, Reply)

I've been that low three times before and it wasn't because of love. Love's made me pretty low but never that bad.
( , Wed 25 Feb 2009, 13:03, Reply)

Not because of the words, but because the tat would fade and blur over time. Thus is wouldn't look so good in a couple of years, or in the worse case illegible.

on getting it done in letters about an inch and a half tall, and well spaced so that doesn't happen lol.
But I get your point - my dad has one of his first wife's name before she died on his arm, and you can't read it anymore.
( , Wed 25 Feb 2009, 13:15, Reply)

People do tend to get lettering done too small. They just don't realise/know what will happen to it over time.
My sister got a very small dove and the word freedom on her shoulder blade, now it's just one blob of blue.

I have more originality and humour in the tip of my left nipple than that waste of northern flesh could ever hope for.

I'm thinking of getting my hair cut shorter than it has been for years (but longer than the mistake I made of getting it cut short). I haven't really decide how I'd have it yet and my brief search on the internet found nothing inspiring.
Maybe I should just shave it off and see how it grows back...

In fact I decided on it, then got last minute doubts, so I didn't do it. Still undecided...

Fringe or all one length? If I have a fringe then it will hide the wrinkles on my forehead but then you won't be able to see the grey streak I have at the front which looks kind of cool.

I've just come home from a jaunt, where I found Ben and Jerries Low fat Ice cream. Can such a thing really exist? I would have thought that such a paradox would implode the world. Maybe what I really have is a black hole contained within a cardboard ice cream tub...

I read that as eye spaffing, I think I'm going slightly mad!
Myself I'd say, no fringe, show the grey and be proud, and cool.
V Shave it, shave it all off. When it doesn't grow back we'll just point and laugh.

As the barber is open late. Depends if I can make my mind up on how to have it cut.

( , Wed 25 Feb 2009, 15:08, Reply)

I think it needs to be somewhere between the length it is now and the length it was when I last had it short. Cut short but without shaving any of it. If I get time later I'll try to find something I like on the net and go from there.

Do a longish side fringe. This way you can grow it out if it annoys you. I find that all-one-length 'dos can be a little heavy on us beauties of a *certain* age. Just my opinion, of course.

I just overheard one of the salespeople calling my boss who's away travelling asking for the network diagram of our connections to one of our clients.
Having a copy of it I offer to send it to her, now she want's a load of changes made to it so now I've got about 3 hours fucking about with visio tomorrow which I don't have time for!

I'm surprised you've forgotten the golden rule of technical staff.
"Never, ever, ever, under any circumstances, no matter what the excuse, involve yourself with salespeople. Don't even say 'Hello' to them."
Goodness knows, I've told many salespeople to "get lost" when they try to engage me in chat about my technical knowledge....
