YAY I'M OFF TO CYPRUS TODAY YAY !
Oh man, in reality, I'm not really looking forward to it, in a lot of respects, but in a few others, I am. I'll be fine when I get there. All my favorite resturants have shut down, which is a big bummer, and I've got loads of work to do there, which is also a bummer, but I'm [saddly enough] really looking forward to learning how to develop things for the iPhone/iPad while I'm out there, learning how to do this'n'that. And relaxing by the pool with a good fiction book. And seeing all the dogs all over the show. And going for long walks through fields by myself (and my friend's dog) with a bit of music playing on my phone and camera in my hand. And fucking off from the internet for a few days, as internet is scarce at best there.

ALT: Steven Hawkins has warned against contacting alien life here: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8642558.stm . I can't say I really disagree with him, but it's a bit twlight-zone, a man with a barely functioning body and a super sharp mind warning humanity against an unknown threat.

Yes of course.
I mean we would never do that to another planet, would we.

Ah, but we don't have the technology to *get* to another planet and plunder it for all of it's resources in a reasonable space of time.
Well. Not yet, anyway.

I know.
And we haven't finished plundering earth yet.

Blimey. BGB, not like you to be so cynical.
You're usually all sunshine and lollypops.
Would you like Jeff to pop round and soothe your bruises?

Nah! I'm too busy chaining myself to a nuclear reactor.
