Masters Apprentices.
I'd forgotten this was even on the tape. The sentiment, if not the lyrics, was so my anthem. AS, I suppose, with most 17 year olds, even today. Though I'm not sure Eminem eve put it quite so succinctly.

Do what you wanna do, be what you wanna be, yeah ....

Uh. Melanie (Safka). The less said, the better, perhaps, though I should hunt up a copy of "Look what they've done to my song, ma"

Pete Townshend, apparently - "I am an animal". Makes sense - "Behind Blue Eyes" is probably somewhere here too, and if not, I *know* it's on the Inner Voices tape. Which reminds me, of course, to hunt down and kill Limp fucking Bizkit.

Oh.
Hell.
Remind me also to take back every snide comment I made about bunnikins having a Bruce Springsteen record. No-one who can sing along to "Candy's Room" has the right to sneer :)
Baby, if you wanna be wild, you got a lot to learn.

Heh. And now we're stuck in fucking chicken town, evidently. Which means a few John Clarke tracks back to back, I suspect. Yeah, there we go, down Beasley St. He's a strange, strange man.

Yay! Rory McCleod!
Must see when he's next touring. Love Rory McCleod. Love, in fact, like a rock :)

And we finish up, I think, with Chris Rhea - "Hired Gun". Is that embarrassing? I can't tell anymore:) Who's Chris Rhea? It sounds like Dire Straits on a mediocre day.

MAnage me harder!

Have to love working for a place that lets you get away with writing "All Hail the Company!" in your performance review.

At least, I *think* I got away with it...

Scrolling LED displays...

The ones you see in trains and shops. Research seems to indicate that they tend to be pre-programmed, rather than hooked up to a PC. Anyone know if one can get serial/USB interfaces for them?

And, in fact, where to get the damn things for a decent price, since the Netizen one seems to have vanished into the aether?

Further Adventures in Obselescence.

Booyah.
sitting on my desk is an Acorn RiscPC600, with RiscOS 3. And a CD drive and a network adapter! BNC, but the nyetwork guys tell me enthusiastically that that's fine! And then we can put a BBS on it, and have a BBS interface to the MP3 server! Whoot!

Nethack ahoy!!

Frisbee Club.

The first rule of frisbee club is ... you tell everyone about frisbee club. The second rule of frisbee club is ... you tell everyone about frisbee club.

The final rule of frisbee club is ... if this is your first time at frisbee club, you can throw the disc, or just lie around and watch.

Go for frisbee, Sunday, 2pm. Some day I'll have to decide what we do if the weather sucks. Meet at the Dan instead, maybe?
