Lorenzo - it wasn't so bad really! Rob - I'm on Eigg this week, I'll be back late Sunday night, and will be in London pretty constantly from then on (for the next few weeks anyway)... How about a week on Friday...?

Did anyone watch that Brass Eye special on last night? They're not gonna be able to show that one again (although, as is typical, it is already downloadable).

Well actually the bread soggy salad it's a VERY FAMOUS traditional tuscan dish!! Anyways I didn't like it too much myself it wasn't perfect!!! As for the hot blooded women that you were meant to bring back can I have some too? :)

Welcome back Mr. Hawkins, I'm always really suspicious of people who say that something is a 'Traditional Dish'. Especailly when it looks like it has gone wrong. If Johnny-Foreigner came to Radstock and I 'cooked' sausages in buttered bread with ketvhup, I could say that it was a 'Traditional Radstockian Dish'. We will have to meet upi Mr. H. You know you want to. Perhaps Cinema and everyfing?

The pasta was all very good... Lorenzo made a mashed up soggy bread salad though, which was a bit odd. Apparently a traditional Tuscan peasant dish.
John

Hey John. Welcome home.
I hope you had a good time in Italy.
Do you maximize the opportunity to say the pasta was tough and chewy in Italy? (like in England ours is sloppy shite)
dsp

I am back from Italy now. It was nice there. Lorenzo is well. I ate some very good pasta.

Photo Studio is now up to 40 downloads from people I don't know - I'm quite impressed. Got some feedback via email too...

Nice - I think I took three out of the four pictures in the logo on the main page of that site... Do I get commission?
John
- Wed Jul 11 14:13:50 2001

I'm glad you like the page. There is more to do (the circle thing on the left will hold a picture at some point) and lots of graphics. I do web design here and there, for more information check out:

The prices are approximate, depending on who it is that is asking! I can do anything from Flash 5 through to cgi (and all inbetween). My availability is a bit random (around PhD work) and I have corporate experience (Hanston).

John

Nice - on Sunday I added a form to stuffware to keep a track of who has downloaded Photo Studio (incidentally I uploaded a new version at the same time), and already three complete strangers have. Not quite a landlside I know, but it made me happy nonetheless! I think I'm going to add a counter or something somewhere...

John explained the whole Shareware-o-rama thing to me this weekend. Certainly sounds like a very cool idea. Pity that I don't have any EXE to make shareware. Damn native compilers! Wish you best of luck with it.
Rob Lang <sooty@bullet-systems.com>
MADLAB, Reading - Sun Jul 8 13:25:07 2001

John: That would be none so far.
But, I have not promoted it anywhere because its not finished yet.
I wanted to have the shareware reg stuff inplace for when i'm happy with the quality.
Nice BA!

Do you like porridge then? I had grits by mistake while i was out in america. Gotta be the grimmest thing ever - looked like fried porridge.

The whole set is actually located in the Bodge Underworld (at the bottom of the page). But these two were extras that I forgot about!

MADLAB, Reading - Thu Jul 5 11:25:26 2001

Any chance of publishing a definitive set?
Here at work we have a publishing bureau, I could sort out a shit-hot colour booklet!
Cheers dude.

Don't be offended Julia, maybe you could understand my suspicions as I grew up in Mill Hill (and visit twice a week). I have many friends that still live there and they are all wind up merchants. It seems, though, that you might just be real!!! I'm glad you enjoy our nonsense.

The faction moot was fab, got utterly sun burnt and had the hell beaten out of me, but still verrrr cool. I can not wait for the Gathering in August!

MADLAB, Reading - Wed Jul 4 10:42:32 2001

Fight club is indeed a fantastic film. The bloke who wrote the book the film is based on, Chuck Palahniuk has also written a number of other rather good books, including choke... Oh which apparently hasn't come out this side of the pond quite yet.

It's such an adrenaline kick of a film - but i think saying it makes you agressive isn't really missing the point, but i don't think it is the point either (if you see what i mean). The violence is kindof incidental to the message of the film, which i took as "Live every day as if it was your last". Sortof.

Could I just point out (to Jon E) that the fear of external things word he used is spelt with an x, not a z. That's xenophobic, not to be mistaken for Zenophobic The Warrior Princess (Jon E's alta-ego).
