Good morning, all. Pretty day, here, hope the (relatively) cool weather holds.

[Cloudbringer]

Raining here...but I suppose soon I'll be griping if it's snow, so I won't complain too loudly! Someone in my department got a scanner delivered here. Boy I wish it was being put on my desk! Nice HP scanjet!

[Attalus]

I haven't got a scanner, nor yet a digital camera. I'm technolically impoverished. [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

[Ilander]

I'm thinking about getting a scanner so that I can keep copies of things I get from the library at school handy...though I'm not terribly sure if that's legal...is it?

[Bungleau]

Making copies of things from the library is likely to be illegal, unless you're doing it in the course of research. So... be careful.

Do you just delete them, or read them for a laugh, like my friend Jonah does? Dammit, whenever Piestider visits, there are little pieces of wire and strange, unlabeled CD's and floppies sitting around, to say nothing of little, cryptic notes.

I have an impressive collection, though my favourites would be the kid who posed as "Dianna Wynne Jones", who, IIRC, is a published fairly famous children's author, in order to tell me not to "crush the hopes and dreams" of little kiddies. I also like the kid who warned me he was going to send me a "glitched e-mail" which would "decompose" my computer, before adding that I should believe him because his father "cracked the Japanese code in the Gulf War!".

I cannot make this up.

Well, Kat, you seem to have a nice derangement of epithets. I love the one about the Japanese code. If the latter part of the statement is true, he is the child of CDR. Joseph Rochefort, U.S.N., who died in 1972, IIRC. If the former is true, his father broke the Morse, since that's the only code Saddam could use.

Evening everyone. Had a late night last night and woke up with insane cramps that made me immobile for about 3 hours straight. 2 pain killers later I'm feeling a little bit better [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oooh, Sex and the City is on, almost forgot! Have a good rest of the day everyone

And Bill, my neck is feeling heaps better. Nyah!

I suspect that has a lot more to do with being 18 and athletic than your benighted chiropractor. Why didn't he/she fix your cramps? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Because that's an ailment better suited to a Dr. like yourself
