Glad to be of service

How are you this fine morning? *looks out of the window* OK, check that, how are you this bog-standard-British-weather morning?

I am fine thanks, except for the tropical heat. It is the hottest summer ever recorded here, and my brain in boiling.

Yesterday I sent a very important paper to a journal, let's hope they accept it for publication. Today, I sway beteen being totally lazy or start working on another article. How are you?

Laziness is good...

I always say go for the method of least resistance

I'm fine, current crisis is wondering whether my 4GB hard drive will be enough to fit all the games we want to play at the LAN party, it turned out that the other hard drive was just getting worse and worse, so I couldn't contain the messy death, and eventually Windows would no longer boot up. Had to blag a 4gig off a friend, and now I've installed Windows 2000 on it, which is absolutely divine

So if that's the orst of my problems, I must be doing pretty well

Tropical heat? In Sweden? Ah well, I guess we should just blame it on global warming...but do you think you could send a little of that sunshine over here? It's still overcast...

I enjoy being lazy if I have worked hard for a while...otherwise I usually get bored by being to lazy...

Really sounds like you are having a deep personality crisis

Good to hear you solved you computer problems anyway, I also run Win 2000 and at least it is not as unstable as the horror of all horrors 98. What games are you planning at the LAN party?

I'd love to send you some sunshine, this is getting ridiculous. There is a lot of talk about global warming, but the climatologists says the mild winters in recent years are more alarming that the hot summers.

In the past couple of years I have discovered that I no longer get bored...Great if you can do it, otherwise it's very frustrating

Hmm, if you're bemoaning 98, you mustn't have tried ME...it's so much worse...I don't even want to think about it

Games? Unreal Tournament, Quake III, GTA 2, Counterstrike, maybe a bit of Age of Empires 2, Atomic Bomberman (the party classic

), perhaps even a little bit of Lightbikes if we get really bored...

Hey, just stick it in a care package, along with some Thai Red Bull. I'll send you an SAE...

I think I know what you mean, people are never as bored as when they are 15, it gets better later...

I never dared to try ME, I heard so much bad things about it.

Sounds like you are in for an intensive gaming weekend...how many people are you going to be?

What is an SAE? Soceity of Agricultrual Experience?

I'd send you anyting if I could get a huge iceberg and a thick, gigantic cloud here...

So, when are you off to Bristol?

LOL

- two years down the track, and I can just sit in a room thinking to myself for hours...only pulled out of my reverie when someone comes in and asks me if I'd like to turn the telly on

I'd strongly suggest you don't...

We'll be six. Unfortunately, we don't have the requisite spare computer for when one of them always breaks down...

Erm...an SAE is a Stamped Addressed Envelope - just the thing for care packages, freebie prize draws and...erm...something else. But I can't think what

Going to Bristol at the very end of September, but before that I'm going to the States for three weeks, to see my grandfather. So in about a week and a half I'm off to New Jersey, where I'll probably not have regular net access...

Maybe it is your demands that has decreased...

I won't, I run 2000 both at home at at the lab and it's easiest to just keep it that way.

LOL! A Stamped Addressed Envelope, that's the kind of thing you never learn in other countries

Please do send a dozen, full of rainclouds...

So how are you going to survive without constant net access?

According to Fable, NJ is close to hell on earth

Let's hope you enjoy it more than he...

Probably...the hormones are gradually decreasing

Well, I'll try, the hard part is coaxing them into small confined areas...rainclouds are claustrophobic, you know

Does fable live in NJ? Maybe he's my grandfather ROFL

Who's finally figured out what a computer is

Already? The hormones should peak around 18 for males

Claustrophobia is easy to treat...I wonder if long distance treatment would work? Besides, I haven't seen any reports for treatment success in rainclouds...

Fable lives in NJ...and all gods and spirits help us if it turns out he is indeed your grandfather...

Oh well, maybe that's it

Well, you may as well try...

Can't hurt now can it?

Just don't even let me think about it...actually it wouldn't be all that bad, maybe I'd be able to get on GB...the grandfather I know thinks a keyboard is attached to a piano and a monitor makes sure that little kids don't get lost in school

*Alert* *Alert* All female SYMers, remember to stay away from Kameleon next year!

I'll try....bzzzz...sending out behavioural theraputic waves....

The postive side is you get access to GB. The negative side is you have to watch out for him infamous gum-throws

The grandfather you know sounds like he needs to be updated a little by a clever young grandchild from overseas

They could try...

LOL

Err...broken record

My grandfather is way too stubborn to be updated...I mean, he's still around after about 5 types of cancer and about the same number of hip operations...why would he want a computer anyway? Etc, etc, etc...

LOL, sounds like my paternal grandmother...I never understood the idea that because you survived disease, WWII or whatever, you don't need modern technology.
