Toby: Could you ask Linda if she's able to do anything on the 18th or 19th December? Rob1, Rob2 and myself are all likely able to be in BW at that point.

Give in to the pampsquillinacious side...

('Quintus copsnicarissimus erat' is really pretty to say)

I'm doing some work on the OED at the moment... things like this just tempt me to abuse my powers way too much

copsnicarissimus adj. (decl. I)

Superlative of copsnicarimus, 'prone to stealing trees'.

all aboard the syllable train! toot toot!

It's the time of year for it.

(copsnicarismas?)

The secret brotherhood of copsnicarists strikes again...

I keep misreading that as "copsniciary" (with an extra "i"), which sounds to me like a group of people who get together to steal areas of woodland. Who conspire to copsnicarate, even.

copsnicary n.

The stealing of small areas of woodland.

Do we get a formal definition, or merely an utterance for our efforts? We demand formalized gibberish!

copsnicary.

The 'c' is hard.

Like calculus

Sorry about the downtime folks - the parental units caught that terrible disease known as DIY again and managed to take out Cappy in the process. Normality will be restored, just as soon as we work out what normal is.

Can anyone think of a fun way to mangle "conspiracy"? Like, "orange juice" -> "ornage juice", but "conspiracy" -> ??

Nonexistent childrens book of the day:

WHERE HAVE YOU HIDDEN THE PEPPER

off by one...

80.6% here, though I suspect I would have done better if Martin wasn't yakking in the background. I couldn't really turn up the volume too loud either, since Moina is currently asleep on the floor.

Fun is difficult (and also quite tone-deaf).

I AM MARKOV CHAIN HEAR ME ROAR.

ToneDeaf is fun (and also quite difficult).

1GB RAM....yay \o/

Carrots...yay \o/

No pies were harmed in the making of this shepherd.

He eats exclusively sausage rolls and boiled vegetables.

Carrots are nihilists.

No shepherds were harmed in the making of this pie, etc. etc.

Do they explode into balls of coloured light and synthesised sound effects when you shoot them with your nose-mounted laser?

if southampton looks like Spheres of Chaos the medication is definitely working

Hello people *waves* :) Southampton is sprouting those random spikey flasing Christmas disease things again! They are supposedly decorations but look remarkably like the explosions on older computer games such as 'Spheres of Chaos' :P

Think that's "don't have time to do it this second" for everyone then.

I might have some free time next week, assuming I finish projects, but I have better uses for it.

Ummm, BIAS isn't in any way abandoned... newjjwk is running the current version. It's just at the moment it doesn't have a web front-end at all (I'm not overly keen on running the old one for reasons that should be apparent) and the templating system needs work and I don't have time to do that this second.

Allegedly the Cheesester "is writing" (read: abandoned ages ago) a "blogging engine" (bit of linguistic masturbation in Perl and Lisp) designed "to host" (fark up amusingly) Perkin Warbeck. I did offer at one point – half-heartedly, I hasten to add – to build my own "interim solution" (hack that just about works so will never be replaced), but Herr Cheese seemed a little offended by that suggestion at the time so I didn't pursue it.

You want a replacement? Either kick Rob to actually finish BIAS, or DIY. I have relatively little time and inclination for yet another project, ATM. This might be subject to change if you ask me extremely nicely, but I have my doubts.

I was wondering that too...

Another bug would be that the links on peoples names don't all point to the right places (as Mark, Linda, and Cheesey are all demonstrating on this page). What happened to the idea of getting this thing out of Blogger into something more practical? I'm not sure it's actually possible to republish the archives any more.

(Edit: and Toby too... and Paws...)

One can't help wondering as to why one's a gif and one's a jpg. There's not nearly enough of this quality of music around.

The death of free will is nothing to be afraid of, and is nothing that can be avoided. Everybody is somebody's bitch, often more than one person's; it just varies between individuals who is using one. They are lucky who find out who pulls their strings; most of us just fall through it unheeding and regardless until the string is pulled too hard and we hang.

That thing kind of scares me now because now all I can think of when I see it is the fact that I will inevitably perform it at some point in the future and I have no free will in that

like... mothse... and... incandescent light blubs.

(my baby. my beautiful beautiful two headed baby)

Old, but in honour of the occasion.

Though actually, the world seems to be hiding from me at the moment

hello world

Well, who was responsible for adding the atom support to the header? It be their fault!

I shall fix later.

And we don't so much follow standards as beat them bodily into submission and hope like hell.

Edit: should be fixed but we are still anarchists and lack a doctype. Hell if the humans have to work pw out by context then why shouldn't the computers?

Jimmy: There are quite a few things I'd object to you removing, but that's an entirely different matter ;)

Do we not follow standards in this place?

"Double the pleasure, baby, triple the fun."

But... but... one of them's in UPPERCASE and one's in lowercase...

*sob*

While we're still having a great page cleaning crusade, may I make the suggestion that Perkin Warbeck stops giving so much <head>? We appear to have one too many of 'em on this page, plus I'm pretty sure the spec. states that <html> is supposed to come before the (singular) title tag...

Jus' sayin' ;)

*FapFapFapFapFap*

cheesey: not that. I'm at work. Sick puppy :p

Links at the top of the page messed about with. If anyone is still missing, please tell me. If there is anything anyone objects to me removing, please also tell me.

helloooo *waves*

ey cheesey, am I doing this right, eh? o.o

Well, that killed it.

HURRR he's been dead since 1499 HURRR
