Why, oh why, did Acer ever think it would be a good idea to completely mess with the local Group Policy on their Windows XP laptop installations?

Anyone interested in taking any of my Feeder, Oasis or Placebo CDs off my hands?

Full lists of what I've got are available on request (i.e. you request them, I try and write them very quickly to make you think I already had them done).

May have some other stuff I want/need to get rid of (such as a Dilbert video box-set WITH TOY!!!) but haven't got it all sorted yet.

I promise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eye

music: Eve 6 - Promise

It never fails to amaze how you can seemingly know and sing along to a song for almost 10 years and then listen to it one day and realise that you've been singing words that just aren't there.

(nor, it would seem, how I can still drag a sentence on far too long).

OK, it was only 2 words that were really 1 that I was singing but that isn't the point.

They didn't have an eeyore

music: Security Now! - Security Now 155: How DNS Works

I've been busy tidying up and clearing out all sorts of rubbish from the spare room and have come across my old Sony NetMD minidisc.

Don't suppose anyone out there wants it do they?

Update: Never mind

abhoria has already claimed it.

I hate it when toasters decide they want to burn your toast instead of pop it up so you can eat it.

I was really hungry as well.

I don't wanna let you know your heart's a distraction

location: front from with the pussycat

Note to self: Keeping keys and AA batteries in the same pocket is a bad idea as eventually they will touch long enough for the battery to get hot and start to burn you through your pocket.

Buy my CDs! Give me back my spare room floor!

Due to a number of reasons (impending visitors, the desire to buy the new Reuben album), I need to get rid of a load of CDs. I've put a list on my site, hopefully there'll be something on it that one of you will want.

Morcheeba

Anyone out there like Morcheeba?

Smile for the camera

Anybody out there care to suggest any photo gallery software, other than using Flickr, that I could look at if I wanted to change from what I'm using now (Original : http://ajs.no-dns-yet.org.uk/photos)

You've got mail

Anyone out there want to buy what appears to be a complete boxed promotional copy of Microsoft Mail 3.2?

You can run it on your hi-tech OS/2 machines ;-)

Easy Tiger

Anyone out there happen to know the definitive, final tracklisting for the UK version of Ryan Adams' new album, Easy Tiger?

Most places have it listed with 13 tracks, including HMV who have it with an EXCLUSIVE SLIPCASE AND TSHIRT, WOO, but Amazon have it listed with 14 tracks and in a different order.

You alright back there?

Dear Mplayer developers,

Any chance you can either fix Ogg Theora playback so that the video and audio stay relatively in sync or at least bring up a whacking great big message telling me what I'm doing wrong.

Totem and VLC don't see to have any problems with the files.

Kthankxbye

It's all about the rack baby!

I don't suppose anyone out there happens to know where I can get hold of a rail kit to rack mount a VA Linux 2240 server do they?

The light... it burns....

In what seems to be a week of revelations, I have just discovered that after about 7 years of trying to drink it and not enjoying it, Heineken is actually quite nice.

Why does it take me so long to discover these things!!!!!

Tell me that you'll open your eyes

After spending many years convinced that my laptop had no power cable for the mini-pci slot, I opened the cover today to find one staring at me. I could almost see it waving and shouting "You really are blind aren't you!"

All I need to do now is see if one of the mini-pci wifi cards that are spare at work will actually work under FreeBSD and I may be able to ditch the cardbus one I'm currently using.

oooh shiny

Two reasonably long-term software goals of mine were finally achieved just 5 minutes ago:

1) I managed to (somehow) get banshee to build and run. I'll have to try and see if I prefer it as my default audio application

2) I managed to get Totem to play MPEG-4 videos (so I can watch all the stored episodes of DL.TV that I have). All it took was installing some software that I already had installed. Hmm. Oddness.

Oh well, time to rejoice.

YAY!

GIVE TO ME!!!!!!

music: DL.TV Episode 13

To the best of my knowledge I've never (or very rarely ever) asked for anyone on LJ to buy me anything.

However, I demand that you all club together and somehow, by any means necessary, get me one of these.

Please please please please please.

It is quite possibly the best thing EV4R!

What's new pussycat?

If there is anything bad about making tuna pasta bake it could possibly be the following:

1) I always try and eat too much and as a result end up feeling like I'm going to explode.

2) Having a Doris for a pet means you can't be too careful with leaving your plate unattended as she will try and eat it.
