Actually, I think your avatar looks more like Michael Stipe from REM. I know it isn't, but that's all I can think of when I see it.... Any thoughts on mine, people? Interested to see who recognises it....

There's yer beer... Seeing as you're new round these parts I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that that attitude isn't going to get worse with the liquor. nkuvu - the Sunderland thing was kind of a gag... it's a place near Newcastle (the original one) in the North-East of England. There's...

One home-made Tismey special for Vic (Ed, can you remind me we need to get some more of the urinal disinfectant blocks?) Sorry it took so long - that sloooow connection was just the pits. Tom - I'm sure Ed won't mind you helping yourself as long as you don't go overboard... nkuvu - I can't...

Can anyone confirm for me that TWAIN (as in the scanners etc) stands for Thing Without An Interesting Name ?I can find anything anywhere that refutes that. If you want a drink, then you'd better order it now. Something (either my ISP or the server) is being dog-slow and I'm ready for bed, so...

That's a joke? Are you sure? < /sarcasm >

Ed - the bar is always stocked. It just depends how much I drink before anyone asks for one (hic). Admiral - I presume that's a frappe (how do you do accents? anyone?) with a 'thing' in it? And if it makes you feel better, during the FINALS for my first English degree, they put in a question...

Don't try, just be. Trust me. It sneaks up on you. And the minute you realise you are, it disappears. Just get on with it.

My pleasure sir, what'll it be. Or should I get you a glass of something nondescript that can be anything you so imagine?

Welcome back then Jadey... a pint on the house for the invalid. Anyone got any bright ideas for something to do? All my usual telly programmes have been replaced by stuff about the Queen Mum dying. The news keeps saying stuff like 'we will have updates later'. What kind of updates? She's...

This thing is quite useful for defining your own Services...

you remembered. :D

Not lazy... Just disorganised...

The Sooper Dooper iPod case from Waterfield Designs is good. And Gary at Waterfield is one of the good guys - they are the single best company that I have ever bought anything off EVER. I recommend them unreservedly

I'd recommend Amadeus. Very feature-packed and incredibly easy to use. It's on versiontracker (I'd post the link but can't find it!!)

nkuvu - that's interesting, because my Mum had similar problems with her iMac and getting a decent connection. I assumed it was an ISP issue though.... Here's that pint, and that grape juice... Ed - ta for the advice. The problem with my room is it's either in direct, really bright sunlight...

You've made this work before with the same setup? It sounds like you're doing the right things... First check the s-video is firmly connected... sounds obvious, but that's caught me before... try starting up in clamshell mode and seeing if it detects your TV. If that doesn't work, try...

Vic / Nkuvu - careful what you're doing with that there paint! I've just finished making a big bowl of punch to help celebrate 'truth's non-persecution, and I'd kind of like the only 'secret ingredients' to be ones I've added!! Ed - finally made a decision on the plants, based partly on your...

Yeah, she had a few problems when she first got it. Most of them weren't problems so much as her having to get used to the various differences in OSX (she was moving from a VERY old PowerPC Tower running 8.5), but she did have a massive problem with her Canon printer (crappy drivers and a weird...

One strawberry daiquiri (with no alcohol :rolleyes: ), and one of Ed's boy scout cocktails. I found a really old bottle of cooking sherry at the back of the cupboard to give it the required 'past its sell by date' taste. And here's a shot of something nice and strong for you, 'truth. It...

Wow Ed, that was quite a reply... I'veactually got 2 really big windows, and my room faces kind of South-East, so I get a fair amount of daylight if I remember to open the curtains :D As a result, it also gets very warm... I'm going to have a look at you r sugestions and compare them to a...
