Y'know, I don't know why I still have that Net Assistant icon there. It was installed when I setup my computer for DSL with the CD my ISP gave me and I've never used it... And I use iTunes, Winamp, and WMP for different purposes... Don't have a player that does everything I want I guess.

The presence of the Shaft theme on Simon's list has me both worried that I share some of his musical tastes and reassured that, secretly, he is no different than the rest of us in our universal desire to be bad motherfuckers.

I can dig that.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Also:

"I refuse to listen to anyone who is picky enough to run XP in classic mode but who still uses Internet Explorer."

Still using Outlook yourself costs you 7 billion credibility points, and strips you of the right to humiliate anyone for their computer habits again ever.

Oh, music ring tones! Fuck that's hip!!

Personally I use a segment from the first and only unplugged studio master of "In-a-gadda-da-vida", since then lost in the maw of a giant Slor. It's ten seconds of high-key feedback and the sound of someone stomping real hard.

Liam that safely remove hardware thing just popped up cause I had turned my printer on, I didn't intend for it to be there and I certainly don't actually use it. As for the music, you're getting paranoid I think, I actually happened to be listening to some music at the time, and you can't even tell what I was listening to anyway as the song title was longer than the bar. Unless you know that much about music you could identify the song from a partial title.

I'm gently reassured by how few artists on Simon's list I recognise. But I'm also intrigued that a recording exists of the Flaming Lips' cover of "Seven Nation Army" and wish to locate it (I saw them do it live, you see, and a real stonker it was). Not sure how though, given my P2P choice of the past 5 years, WinMX, has just been Proxmired.

And has your position been compromised?

Did you see a cat?


By the btw, does anyone know a good Wav-to-mp3 conversion tool?

Sometimes, the average Swede's command of English fails him. It's a bit like reading Roxette lyrics. Or, to put it more succinctly - er, what?

What did Garak say when the bugs crashed into the Vor'Chas?

Your winemex has been proxmired, sir. If you saw two cats, did they look different or was it the same cat, SIR? *puts hand on holster*

And furthermore, where could one possibly acquire a wav-mp3 conversion tool?
(yes, that was the gist of it)

Nope. Not a clue - about .wav-.mp3 conversion tools, or the rest of it. Granted, I used the verb 'to Proxmire' in a rather loose sense - "to cancel something for the financial benefit of others;" I even thought perhaps the confusion arose from 'Proxmire' being the name of an Ikea product, but I've searched their website with no result.

It. simply. sounded. similar. to. compromise. The bodyguard/Matrix lingo came naturally.

See, when my brain couldn't rightly place the word 'proxmire' it kind of "ran home to momma", as they say in my line of work.

Associations, man, associations. Do we have to do this every time?
It is the glue that binds AIM/MSN funniness.

Next week, I expect to see no less than three sick spinoffs on this subject from you, at my desk, twelf sharp.

If we'd had that pint all this could've been avoided. [Wink]

Yes, but even if I'd made it to Tunbridge Wells that day, doing the drive back home is hard enough without having had an even-slightly boozy lunch. Like I said, next time plenty of warning then we'll do Brighton.

That day...that fateful day. But don't try to change the subject, old duck. The dead ghost of Sir William Proxmire will poison your alfalfa.

I keep wondering why "they" haven't crushed DC++ yet. Sureleaf it can't be for lack of trying? Do the guys have that good lawyers?

And that's another XP/DC++ problem of mine. Why is it impossible to watch part of a movie before it has finished downloading? You can see a JPEG develop before it has been fully loaded, so why not avis?

What's wrong with Philip Glass? I have a couple Philip Glass tunes on my computer. I'd post my list, but my friends already delivered more than the recommended dose of laughter and taunting about my musical tastes when I posted it to my blog.

Oh, and XP in classic mode rocks.
