..did I mention that I have a huge assortment of certified car door locks?
Any one want to buy some manky dry heather.. Honest, it will bring you good luck.
Some guy in the pub tried to sell me some Metro-locks last night. Don't worry though, I called him a thiefing-gypsy, then ignored him 'til he went away. He cursed me and my family, then tried to tarmac my drive. The nerve!
Graf: it beats me why they would steal the locks off your car.. as they clearly weren't up to much..
Nice one Johnny boy!
Maximum photoshop respect!
Oh how annoying, that doesn't quite work unless you type it in manually. Right, try this instead:
Apparently there's going to be a remake of one of the Star
Wars films, with some rather unusual character choices.
Look out for Luke Sky-Hawkins, Princess Cheia, Han Dalo and Lando Cal-Robert-Lang in:
Good news: they found my car. And apparently all that's wrong with it is the locks are busted. Obviously the thieves came to their senses before they got further than shinfield, where they dumped it.
Pictures from the Boat Party
are now avaialble!
Are those the tyres that let you go round corners in third gear?
And you call me bitter. Tsch.
I would be surprised if you paid for that Tom. ;-)
DSP- AT least ny tyres aren't 180quid EACH :-(
John, you could award a prize to the postee of the last message of the month, i.e. before the new July page cut-off. Obviously you cannot enter. This may encourage other people to post.
Any nearby lakes/reservoirs/road-runner-style revines? Thanks for that john, that cheered me up a bit. Tonight I will be mostly wandering around newtown in the forlorn hope that it has been dumped there by the thieves when they realise they have just stolen a complete sh*theap that noone would want to buy even if it was legit. Extra shock value points will be available if I find it burnt out. Anyone else got any top tips for where to find dumped cars (I have already been pointed towards iceland carpark).
I never realised I was such an optimist deep down.
Sorry for the theft. I wish someone would steal my car instead. Just forked out 260 pounds sterling on three new tyres. At least you didn't chat politely with your robbers.
But look on the bright side Andy:
Shit! Sorry to hear that Andy!
Hmmm... Ross Noble that definitely rings a bell - he's not the gay eskimo bloke is he?
Oh well, at least my car wasn't stolen over the weekend - Doh!
Ed Bryne is this cheeky wee scottish chappy. He's quite funny. Peter Kay rings a bell but I'm almost certainly getting confused with Phil. Hmmm... wish I could remember the name of the guy who sings "I'm the only gay eskimo", he strikes me as the sort of person who would do festivals, and he's bloody hilarious (at least I think so). Good news: Theres a comedy tent at Reading this year.
Bad news: Ed Byrne, Ross Noble, Peter Kay and Otis Lee Crenshaw (aka Rich Hall) are playing - and I'm sure i've not heard of any of them.
From the people that made Furbies... Kind of a robotic dog
thing, a bit like Sony's Aybo I suppose, only 25 quid
rather than a couple of grand. It's pretty much a furby
really, without the fur, and it's dog shaped, errr,
but different. You can see pictures of them
here, I think.
Am I the only one thinking "what the hell is a poo-chi?".
P.S. Does anyone have a poo-chi yet? I think lots of places
have sold out, but Hamleys seem to have quite a lot at the
moment... I got one yesterday, err, but it wasn't for me,
honest!
Hey where has everone gone? Weird isn't it how some
days you get like 100 messages posted, then the next
day none at all? We shall call this the message board
uncertainty principle.
Mr. Valdez: haven't I seen a porn film with you in?
Hiya, what up?
I just came across this site looking for the reading line up, and I dunno what the hell you lot are on about. Anyways, Green day rock, tre cool is the most amazing drummer ever to grace this miserable planet. I'm in a band called 'MORAL MOMENTS', come see us play, we promise we'll blow you away, man that's sounds gay. See ya! xxx
Errr... anyone know what Tim is on about?
Yeah, nice one. Not. John: Yes - you know where = napster. I'm getting along with it much better now I'm using the linux commandline version. Oh, and I'm not trying to be l33t, it's just that we've got the linux firewall server thing at home that seems to confuse things if you try and run napster behind it. And the best way to get around a firewall is to sit on top of it. T'is good to have a paranoid firewall now that we're online a lot of the time tho(hooray for free dialup :) )
Tom: Don't think I'm doing anything this weekend - a BBQ sounds like a pretty cool idea (as long as we get better weather than today!).
I take it that's only accessible on your intranet then.
Hmph. Andy - where is you know where? Are you talking 'bout
napster or something? I'm not really too up on my internet
posiclature, I'm afraid.
Graf: Um. Yeah... :-) I dunno, why not this weekend?
Does that include me Mr. Obnoxious? Cos I'd be inclined to agree.
You all suck. Erm, whenever you invite me over for a barbeque is probably the most likely answer to that. Or were you expecting me to turn up on the doorstep one day demanding chargrilled meat in bread. And yes, I am on drugs, but clearly not strong enough ones.
The future of online gaming Graf: are you on drugs or wot?
more importantly, when are you coming over for a bbq?!
I know I keep doing this but I keep finding cool stuff that I have to tell youze all about. Get this track
"Bt and M. Doughty - Never Gonna Come Back Down" off you know where. It's off the soundtrack to gone in 60 seconds and you can be very smug about having heard it first before it was a massive hit. Or not.
Confusion over which Jo(h)n that was addressed to. Hmmm.
Hmmmm, Beer.
Jon darling,
You are gorgeous, and you are lovely, and I would rather like to have your children. (Although you don't seem to have any).
You will be pleased to know that as a direct result of seeing pictures of himself in your hideously grand collection, Dale is now heading for his true calling and is auditioning for the lead role in the late night Channel 5 GayeXchange adverts.
(He dances GOOD!)
BYE!
Beer.
Why??????
Again, Friday => Pub?
N E 1 there?
Ellis SkyWanker- YOU shall move to the Dark Side one day...
I think you may have to get the clients to reconfigure...
Perhaps I should rephrase that Oi Bill Gates Jon E - Friday, June 16, 2000 at 10:56:43 (BST)
Keith,
Tom,
yes - but the other option from save as - is the "open" option - this would surely then have to ref. the client side mime type thang to work out which application to use
Don't you go into (say in Netscape) Edit -> Prefs -> Navigator -> Applications and add a MIME type in there?
It's a bit of a wierd one, The mime type sits on the client side, to invoke a certain action when a file is passed through the system, but are sent from the server, which does not have to understand what the mime type does at the client. Nope, putting it up on the web wouldn't help, I've done that one already, it allows me to do a standard save as thing. I really wanted to be able to get it to open excel or whatever csv files defaulted to. The mime type would usually be "text/csv" but it doesn't seem to work, and if it doesn't work on my desktop it is unlikely to work our customers.
Where do mime types live? at the server or the client side? I could put a csv file on the web for you if that's any help.
Graf, Thanks, but no. I want to find a website which will
download a .csv file to me. I am trying you see to be able
to use mime types to get someones computer to automatically
open a .csv file (in whatever they have setup in their registry), when they click on a link from my site.
Cheers anyway What do you need it for? I've got tons of csv files on my pooter here (our software imports csv files), but you can make your own csv file by opening up notepad and writing some words or numbers with commas between them. But I'll email you one gladly if it's any help
P.S. Yayy - i'm going to the beach on sunday. First time i'll have seen the sea since me and John visited Simon.
Okay, completely wierd question, does anyone know a site where you can get a .csv file.
Scary.
I can see you
SHIT. One flaw. no cash to lend. DOH!
Why don't we start our own bank and lend ourselves money?
Tim, the Lloyds fascists are going to try and kill my overdraft of 1800 in September. I'm gunna tell 'em to feck off. I'm still a student. Stupid bastards.
We got our morgage with Nationwide.
Go join Nationwide - a decent place to bank - all the online stuff
Natwest are removing my WHOLE overdraft facility BTW.
In one go. B*startds.
I would be. But I just sold some shares.
Hello.
Errrr, thanks for that Tom.
Next Monday or Tuesday perhaps.
Arse. Driven.
Possible beer scenario = low (due to sharing a car today)
on a bike. Or weren't you asking me?
Right so Harrow then? (consults tube map) Have you driven or come by train? Any chance of beer?
slightly muted, almost embarrassed "WOOHOO!"
WOOHOO!
Ok thats a fixed message board then! Thanks Rob!
A couple of messages might have got lost in the process...
Please be careful when posting HTML!
mung /muhng/ /vt./ [in 1960 at MIT, `Mash Until No Good'; sometime after that the derivation from the recursive acronym `Mung Until No Good' became standard; but see munge] 1. To make changes to a file, esp. large-scale and irrevocable changes. See BLT. 2. To destroy, usually accidentally, occasionally maliciously. The system only mungs things maliciously; this is a consequence of Finagle's Law. See scribble, mangle, trash, nuke. Reports from Usenet suggest that the pronunciation /muhnj/ is now usual in speech, but the spelling `mung' is still common in program comments (compare the widespread confusion over the proper spelling of kluge). 3. The kind of beans the sprouts of which are used in Chinese food. (That's their real name! Mung beans! Really!) Like many early hacker terms, this one seems to have originated at TMRC; it was already in use there in 1958. Peter Samson (compiler of the original TMRC lexicon) thinks it may originally have been onomatopoeic for the sound of a relay spring (contact) being twanged. However, it is known that during the World Wars, `mung' was U.S. army slang for the ersatz creamed chipped beef better known as `SOS', and it seems quite likely that the word in fact goes back to Scots-dialect munge.
JH: How's London? We're in Harrow.
Hey no hard feelings! Nothing is lost, its just we can't
see those earlier messages until someone sorts it out... In fact you've actually made the message board quicker to load :) Sorry teacher. Here's an apple for you:
sorry. I said I mong'ed it, but I didn't really understand what mong meant
M-O-N-G. When the crowd says Mong, break it.
M-O-N-G. When the crown says Mong, break it.
M-O-N-G. When the crowd says Mong, break it.
<teacher>
It was definitely a case of someone who clearly has no idea of how HTML works.
sorry for the monging
I didn't mong it either.... but I know who did.
Oops sorry - my finger slipped. oh yeah melonfarmers.co.uk have a good site about censorship....
P.s. I didn't do it - and that was a sarcastic yay. Was it a deliberate monging or just complete ignorance of how html works? Wonder if john can get to Reading (at least virtually) to fix it. The offers still open to rehost this at ninjapineapple.com by the way. The guestbook program i got with the domain is great - you can censor rude words and do replacements, so people will try swearing and sound like a tv-version (melon farming counts).

Yayy - the message board is monged
(this is where some monging happened)
run your mouse over the linked buttons...

Blimey, what is it, national link-a-gif day?
and you'd be right...
Anyone get the feeling that rowanboy has too much free time on his hands?
Warning. This site is NOT

Its hell taking the bus for a walk. It tends to pull on the lead.
Bus then - that leaves from just down the round actually,
goes about every 20 minutes in the direction of Tooting.
K9
Dog or Bus?
Did I mention that I have a pet Greyhound?
MISTER ELLIS!
OI, Rowan ,
Mush mush? Was that Rob down there? Did he mean moshimoshi?
Anyway, I received one of the best emails I've ever had,
from some bloke I don't know this morning:
I am on a training course!
ANYone there?
Pitbull? Surely you only say "mush" to Huskys? mush mush. I have now experienced a product yet more complicated than UNIX. .
It is called 'Pitbull'. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Does this worry anyone at all?

Shut it Richards.

...I'm NEVER going to be able to go. EVER... :-(
Broken! I'm in Cornwall.
It's on august bank holiday weekend. And i should think i'll be going, although i haven't got a ticket yet. Two questions:
rowanboy - Wednesday, June 14, 2000 at 14:42:54 (BST) Today will be sunny.
In Spain.
Damn right.
me too!
Unfortunatly I cannot comment as I'm dead.
who're you calling Grandad ya fuckin fairy
You tell him Grandad!
Fuck off big nose
Where's Gandalf? Dopey cunt! Come on el-beard-o! Bore us with a storey!
Hate You, I
Like I'm scared of you. You can't even stop a little Hobbit!
Listen, Rowanboy, no one cares about the Lizard.
John,
Nice moves!
look here you shandy drinking WANKERS. thanks, thats all really.
Oh yeah GanDAFT? Less of your "I know every-fuckin-thing" and more bowing and scraping.
And I'll make you all dissapear in a puff.
Look. You lot think you're demonic, but basically you all gay.
Hey I like you Morgoth.
Bastard Ents.
OK ladies, handbags at 10 paces. Morgorth you know I told you about
spreading silly stories. You enjoyed it too. Anyway you are too thick to have
thought of the whole glowing eye thing.
Oh and I hate you too.
(which I'll admit is kinda the point of being evil)
...sniff.... Everyone just hates me ....sniff...
Look, so called Dark Lord, you're just shit. I was around fucking ages before you, taught you everything you know, whooped those homo elves' raggedy asses again and again, pulled down their stupid gay glowing trees and nicked their girly jewels. Mordor? That was the Dale Winton of evil empires. You wanted to be in Angband mate. P.S. Nice touch with the glowing red eyes though, I'm secretly very jealous and wish I'd thought of that.
There I was, happily working up towards total world
domination. I even had the Elves on the run and everything.
Fucking glory stealers, the Hobbit wasn't good enough for you eh? Had to go and have your own epic tale, din't you? Fuckers.
I fucking dont.
You love it really.
Baggins! You Bastard!
The Corrs. A band much like any other, except different.
mornin' all
The Beer Witch Project
Working hard fixing bugs that only appear in the release version. Which is nice. Also worried about whether anyone apart from John will get the corrs reference. But i really did see them. For a bit. Before I went off to watch Billy Bragg instead.
My phone needs recharging
Tuesdays must be hard working days. ARE YOU THERE?!
At least I didn't just buy a 10/100 SWITCH for home then.
I'm happy. I got Portugal in the sweepstakes :-)
Tim takes interest in football => the world is coming to an end.
To all Portugese message board subscribers... So it was saturday, and i was sitting there watching the corrs enjoying them in my own special way. I just started to get into my stride. And then i got thrown out of finsbury park, aaaah....
Sorry - couldn't resist.
Yea I always wondered what Mr. Pop meant by that. Maybe I just misheard.
You can always lengthen your log, especially via eggs.
I'm lengthening my log,
I am bored.
I think you should all take a look at
Russ's website... It's very good. If a little odd. Well it made me laugh anyway...
Oh my god! How cool is that? www.maison-de-stuff.net!
I think we should all hail Mr Ellis, who is clearly a
superior being...
WTF?
WTF?
Hi, please visit my site at: http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/theater/2712/reading.html
Join in one the reading festival discussion! Tell us your Cerazy festival experiences! abi.
You lied. The orange Smartie drink did make an appearance...Ah, nevermind. As long as there was no talk about beds. Oh, shit.
yeah and cheer Basil, for the card, throb hole indeed!!! very nice!!
can we try not to be the entertainment this week.... Tia Maria and Orange Juice does not beckon!
yeah drinkies are still on - but I can't cope with any fluffy lesbians tonight! I think the emu would have no probs in picking you up, the number you require (emu-mob) is the first 4 digits are the same as my mobile, then 9690227 (security to stop any other dodgy fuckers who read this ring emus)
Jizzy Rectum.
Still on for drinks? The card mentioned something about 8:30pm. And an Emu? Should be fun.
Oh and we really must set up another shared mail which is a bit easier to access. why_don_t_we_all_sleep_in_my_bed__@hotmail.com is a bit pants.
Later.
Randy Basil - managed to login - wasn't aware of the two __ needed at the end of account name - whose idea was it to call it that?? i'll cu @ 2pm tomorrow, with tv! ttfn
Rob:
Well I happened to notice that www.maison-de-stuff.net is active. I just wondered when you were going to change your website.
Try to imagine a fly-over of a beach. The sea lapping the golden brown sand. We zoom in to some clomping DcMartins running through the white foamy spray. Now imagine the theme tune to Black Beauty. De dur, de de de de duh dur. Zoom out to Rob romping along, being ridden by a young girl. Hmmm.
Start thinking up new cusses, all the ginger ones are invalid: I dyed my hair black. So there.
Sounds like an Ellis hack of monumental proportions. Right well rest assured I'll put something in to that effect next time I'm in Reading. Also, what's all this about me doing a new website? I'm not sure I understand... Are you maybe getting confused about my internal website (like Les off Big Night Out and his internal wife, Pat)? Yea I know the bridge to the outside world is knackered. Again, I'll fix it next time I'm in Reading - I'm about 700 miles away still at the moment!
Yes
Morning gaylords! Are you all still gay?
I Know. I love you too.
I love you Jon.
I know that Tim, I just wanted for once in my pathetic existance to try and out do John.
I find that pressing F5 seems to work.
I've just noticed that after your addguest page where it displays what is being added to the message board it displays a sentance along the lines of:
Mr Hawkins, I am expecting a new website off you, where is it? I have tried looking but I can't find the new improved Maison-de-Stuff, please help or I will trap you in my attic and play games with your vegetarian alternative pie combinations.
Eigg is really good! Taken lots of pictures already...
Oooohhhhhh. More papers. I need more papers. MUST HAVE MORE PAPERS. I like papers. Papers make me happy. Please I need more papers. Papers are like the blood in the veins of research. Need more. More papers. Must have. Yes. Need. Now. HA. Need more. It's the black on white that does it. Yes. Need black on white. No pictures. Just words. And equations. Nice. Need more. Papers. Papers. papers... papers papers papers papers
Got caught by one of those darn speed cameras (doh). Anyone know what the penalty is for doing > 30 in a 30 zone is (not too far over 30 tho - the bit of paper didn't say how fast i was going, but it can't have been that fast. And it was downhill dammit).
I've now arrived on Eigg - can you believe right out in
the (ok inner) hebrides (dunno how to spell that) I can still get on the internet? Marvellous. Lots of pictures coming soon! I know I'm always posting random urls, but you HAVE to go here. It's a page of insults that people used as kids - i'm sure you could have something to contribute.
I would also just like to say to the world that I am incredibly hungover. Thank you.
Doh. Missed all of that. By the way I'm going to live on an
island tomorrow. Errrr... for a week anyway. It's a different one this time. Anyone heard of Eigg?
Right. I'm off to the pub then.
...I'm not even going to suggest that I could have my own webcam. And especially not in the bedroom.
If you mean Jon Ellis, then I am fine, if however you mean John Hawkins then he is gay.
Jon: How are you my friend?!
...and all for less than 200 quid....
...and all for less that 200 quid....
Check the porno rant:

I'm adding double ports in every room (apart from the kitchen and bathroom!)... and some quad ports behind the desks etc..
CATegory 5 UTP cabling.. with patch panels and rack mounted hub.. (I may even purchase a 10/100 switch)
tom is a nerd. Can I just say that CAT5 is currently installed for 2 machines a meter apart from each other. Also It is nice to have friends in high places. A parallel zip drive has just arrived on my desk. K-ching. Hmmmm, blatently no need to be smug, but heah.
CAT5?
I'll join them after I'm finished here! Messing about under the floorboards is always best done pissed.... it numbs the electric shocks ;-)
maybe they're all in the pub - it is friday after all.
I guess that you are all at lunch then? TALK TO ME!
<nerdy>This weekend, I am installing CAT5 cabling throughout my house.. and without the aid of a network skewer!!!</nerdy>

Racal is NOT the real world.
SORRY! http://www.stinkymeat.net
Check this out.... http://www.stinkymeat.com
Thanks to your mistake, Andi-G, whilst reading your last post, my brain encounter an unhandled-exception, and was forced to reboot.
I'm off to the real world for a month in July. Working at Racal on the Basingstoke road. Has anyone got any hot-real world tips that might help me on my time 'outside the joint'? Any dodges or things to watch for? As a c++ professional it pains me to see the unmatched brackets in my previous post.
I apologise unreservedly for any distress I may have caused... Erm - i did sign up for e-for-money and refer you. on wednesday in fact. Btw: does anyone remember brass eye - the classic contravercial chris morris news parody? They're available on the interweb if anyone's interested (along with practically everything chris morris has ever done - he seems to have a rather fanatical web following and a resurgence of interest post jam (and jaaaammm).
ps I apologise if noone has a clue what I'm talking about.
Excuse me. Napster rocks my world. Have you tried the latest Beta? Not that I'm on commission or anything.
Do you see what happens when people communicate. The world would be a better place if we all kept talking. Thank You and goodnight. If you're behind a firewall, Scour.com is quite good for mp3s.
Also from an idealogical point of view I prefer the idea of freenet due to it being nicely decentralised and no-profit making. Not used it mind you - and i always found napster to be a bit pants as well. But maybe that's me searching for too obscure stuff.
I've encountered this problem many times before. Re-boot holding down shift.
What are PHH doing?? Heah. I can't connect up using Napster. Bloody firewall. Bloody Socks4 and 5 protocols. A) What the hell are they? B) How can I get them to fucking well work. I have been known to set it as a standard proxy server but NAPSTAR won't take it. Please Jim, will you fix it for me.
Its a fair cop.
I Think Tim watched "Tonight with Trevor" last night. I have to admit to therefore being annoyed at not being able to reach the internet last night. Hmmmphh. Oh well perhaps I'll just download them at work. Hmmmph.

A guys is sat in a bar smoking his head off.
To make you all feel better, I have absolutely no idea whatsoever about what you're talking about. However, it does sound very clever and interesting and I am secretly jealous that I can't join in on your nerdy problem hunting. But that's just what you have to live with when you do Cybernetics.
Tim, if you go
here
you can download yourself a DHCP server that'll run on
Windows 95/98 etc... ermmm probably
an annoying shareware license but if you hunt around a bit
you can probably find one for completely free.
Can't you set up two profile thingies (errr not really sure
I've hit on the right nomenclature here), and choose between
them on booting?
The obvious answer is to set up a dhcp server at home, as long as you've got some kind of server-ish OS knocking around. But you probably though of this one already.
Right, Pop Quiz
Mmmmm... breakfast.

Simon Watson: I will be in Bournemouth on Saturday.
look - only 14 more people for the cheapy price!!
