I can rapidly see this turning into some kind of Top Trumps.

I fail to see the point in feeling sorry for obscure animated characters, unless there is a believable and justifiable reason for you to do so. Jar Jar Binks has no discernible merit, other than being easy for most half-arsed voice actors to mimic. This guy, on the other hand...

poor jar jar binks :P

ruffs...want ;) I'd like to dress up in that kind of outfit, something more like pirates of the caribbean perhaps... oh ok, maybe i just want toby and i to dress up in pirates of the caribbean costume...mmm...

every woman's allowed a fantasy!!

I'm quite enjoying looking round the site that image is from... it takes me back to the days when women were conical and men wore trousers that joined straight into their waistcoats.

And they have ruffs, if only little ones.

I saw this and thought of you.

Microsoft requires you to elasicate, or otherwise increase the pressure upon your mollusc. Spam says so.

Indeed. Analog control logic frequently requires more magic devices, while the tuning stages of many radio circuits run almost entirely via the application of deep magic.

I prefer to leave the hardware alone and engage in software abuse. It's a nice feeling to enter deep hack mode and produce something truly tense, though cuspy code will usually suffice.

Do not touch the magic switch, it may cause random disruption in your computer.

Also, you may be interested in knowing that an observation function α must be twice-differentiable and associate a real number to any point of the manifold. It must also be generic, so its derivative is of fill rank and has no special symmetries in its components.

I have pierced ears now :) Finally had enough courage to get my ears stapled ;)

Well, our connection is still being hammered by some kind fellow; dunno why. Will keep folks posted.

beat you jimbly, with an average of 4 times a week - well, i need to find something to do at the short loans desk ;)

not even 300 words for me and almost 2 years signed up to blogger. Should be around more often.

Ugh.

Apparently I post three times a week on average, and considering that I've been doing that since late 2001...

We stand in awe of the, by now, total integration of Jimmy's brain with the programming of all major search engines.

Pretty Purple. Damn Visual Basic sucks.

*waves, yawns, goes on lunch break*

And yes, that was JavaScript, for those who have it turned off or blocked by default - turn it back on to see the effect.

PS. God knows how the above will perform on the lesser spotted browsers - I tested it in FireMoose and AIEEE 6 - your milage and processor usage may vary :P

Enlightening, if a little cheesey.

Toby's and my poetry corner -

This dirty old man they named Dali
With women was willing to parley
He did more besides -
He went blind in both eyes -
And drowned in a river in Bali.

When the wind is southerly.

Give those other two penises back to whoever they belong to and get back in your box. You know full well that sausage wrangling season isn't for another month and a half.

I have three penises.

april fools

i arrived on their doorstep with a bag of filthy clothes and a broken bicycle. the pedal wrenched & chewed by the errant action of my own stupid foot, where a simple socket set would have made all the difference, but oh no.
& i was fed, watered and allowed to live my life without purpose, left to consume hot cross buns, all manner of choice morsels, fine foreign beers and spirits in plenty, and cheap unbranded wireless networking equipment, oh yes.
on the night before they turned me out, my father, socket wrench in hand, face blazing & eyes sad, told me i was a disgrace to my family. then we laughed and went indoors, as the setting sun broke out from behind the clouds, orange.

Another day, another month. Happy April all. Did anyone find/read/create any good April Fool jokes?
