Starbucks is my friend
Apr. 29th, 2010 02:01 pmSo, I made it to London. The journey was quiet and the train was late, but I'd planned for that. I attempted a Skype IM conversation with a mate in New Zealand, but the on-board wi-fi was not overly impressed with the whole idea, so I started watching Castle instead. I got 10 minutes into the first episode and was already in love.
So now I've had lunch from Pret and am happily ensconsed in Starbucks with coffee and wi-fi that is free, thanks to my Starbucks card. Yes, I, for one, welcome our evil overlords, Starbucks and Google. They are my friends.
( Waffle about my itinerary )
One final thing to share, before I forget: Are You A Nerd, Dork, Geek or Dweeb?, courtesy of David Hewlett on Twitter. I can now officially confirm my status as a geek! :D
So, which are you?

My RAM has arrived! \o/
This means I now have to shut down my laptop and attack it with a screwdriver. I have done such a thing many times with desktop towers, but never with a laptop. I feel unaccountably nervous...
I may have to log on to Paz's computer at the same time, so I can still feel connected to the world.
ETA: RAM was safely installed (several hours ago, actually) and I am now about to see just how much faster EQ2 runs. This will mostly be defined by how long it takes to zone in to the guild hall.

Thing the First: Google Wave. I WANTS IT!!!!!! Thanks to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cupidsbow for alerting me to Google's latest spark of awesomeness. Yes, I know they're now big enough to be considered an Evil Empire but, hey, I still drink my coffee at Starbucks.
Thing the Second: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Just saw it with Paz and we thought it rocked. Not quite as much as the first, but it still rocked. I very carefully avoided reviews beforehand, so now I find out that SFX only gave it 2.5 stars but Total Film gave it 4 stars. Something of a variance. So, have you guys seen it? What did you think?
Thing the Third (because I lied): The aforementioned mags also gave the aforementioned scores to the new Terminator film. Mostly what I've heard from non-media sources is, "Meh..." Have you seen it? Is it worth me forking out for a cinema ticket?

Clearing the decks
May. 30th, 2009 05:41 pmI have 26 tabs open in my browser awaiting some action on my part. I need to clear the decks so I can run updates on my PC. In theory, I could use session-saver, but it will reopen my DW tabs without logging me in, and DW doesn't redirect when that happens. So, deck clearance. Please prepare for incoming spam (sorry).

Feb. 24th, 2007 03:32 pmI was just reading the following from this fic:
“It’s a yearbook,” she said. “I instructed it to only show males in 6th or 7th year who are not engaged or married. That last one was pretty difficult, seeing as I had to factor in the terms of the engagement, you know how some of them lately have been extremely informal, but it is really fascinating how-“
And the first thought into my head was, "Mmmm, magic as a database language..."
Just kill me now, please?
