Now for some fun playing with the computers. I've tried (and failed) to get PLIP running on the Windows box, but I'm looking at upgrading that to eXtra Problems. I seem to recall that that has some sort of PLIP. If not, I'll have to either boot the linux box in Windows 98 for DCC and Winamp, or (gasp) spend some money, getting network cards.

Just about to go to bed now, having finished work at midnight. I've got a split shift tomorrow - 15-odd hours of washing dishes. Lovely. Anyone out there read "Job - a comedy of justice"?

The Art of Wanking Brings Lots of Money
"According to the research that was conducted in the United States of America, men with higher education masturbate twice as often in comparison with other men. Consequently, there are a lot of masturbators, who take official positions and have larger income. Who knows, maybe serious positions and good wages do not depend on education?"

Was There Sex in the USSR or Not?
"If you look a book on the sexual upbringing of the Soviet people, you will have a lot of fun. For example, there was a book published in the USSR in 1959 titled ?The Questions of Sexual Upbringing.? It was generally believed that there was no sex in the USSR. However, the book was published anyway"

Ok, it seems to be working now. Here's some Shakespearean prose that I came up with whilst reading the Scottish Play.

"One who, perhaps, in craven fear of his own kind, would turn to prayer,and whisper his entreaties soft and low, or emit such whimpering mews as would seek to drive men marrowless to the ground..."

"Or wearing such a visage as would ill befit a child scarce half his age..."

Can't the english language be fun?

Ok. How do I start this thing off? Hmmm.. let's see now. I'm a 31 year old kitchen porter, my girlfriend has been asleep for the last (checks clock) 2 hours. and I'm sitting at the computer. Maybe I should avoid the caffeine last thing at night. Oh, and the dog just fumigated the room. Thanks, Danny.
