Photos, scatology and the nearest I get to pensées about my recent highland holiday are up on Digital Evidence.

I’m now back home at Mycelium Mansion and have caught a cold from someone at work…

I wish there had been room for certain shades of grey in this quiz – and that it recognised the CPA!


You Are a New School Democrat
You like partying and politics – and are likely to be young and affluent.

You’re less religious, traditional, and uptight than most Democrats.

Smoking pot, homosexuality, and gambling are all okay in your book.

You prefer that the government help people take care of themselves.

return of the king?

To paraphrase Ms Gaynor:
‘And so I’m back, from outer space
and Bush is still in charge of the place’

In truth, we had heard the result … what the fuck happened? What went wrong? Actually, I don’t want to know just now …. I don’t want to hear how or why Joe and Josephine Sixpack voted the way they did. With the exception of (and any of her family and friends who voted against Bush) and and her ilk, all of the US is off my christmas card list forever.

Later, I’ll want to know how I can at least try to prevent some of Bush’s worst excesses and how to help the US find a candidate who can repair some of the damage Bush has done to my world. (I realise this sounds a little big-headed but you know what I mean.)

Moral majority? I think not. How can killing ever be moral?

  • I have issues with abortion but I have nothing in common with those who would (and do!) kill doctors who perform them.
  • I have nothing in common with those who make dupes so poor that they have no choice but to join the army, get caught up in and brutalised by an un-necessary war, then left to rot by their cynical masters.
  • I have nothing in common with those who vote to increase the scourges on their own backs.

Will all such people please leave my planet. I and my fellow small furry creatures want to be able to gather together in a cave and groove with a Pict without fear of annihilation, thank you.

Life is almost sorted!

I’m ahead of the game at work – all I have to do tomorrow is brief my colleagues to take on my roles while I’m away next week, install a set of DTP software on a G3 mac, set up a location manager location so it can be used in our Edinburgh office and have two brief production meetings.

My weekend and travel are almost sorted: Elly, Ian and Jane are coming here on Saturday for an afternoon of relaxation in St Andrews, then we head back to Ian and Jane’s in Stirling for a bit, then I stay over at Elly’s and disappear on Sunday morning on a macbackpacker’s tour of Scotland.

I have finally realised why the 2300c wasn’t reaching the internet – it needed a microfilter between the DAA and the phone point. DUH! So now it can talk to the internet at all of 14000 bits per second by modem (or at 10Mbps via ethernet and the router.) This is set up on MacOS8·1 on the SCSI hard disk I’ve installed into the DuoDock. Once I’ve uploaded this piece of boredom, I’ll check the modem and router on the internal ATA hard disk which has MacOS8·6.

Anyway, practical upshot is it is now ready to lend to Celia so she can try to get online, always assuming her MS actually allows her to use a mouse or graphics tablet.

Thereafter, all I have to do this evening is edit an objection I’m writing for the Community Council, text Ewan and pack for my holiday.

Julia and I are going though a fairly friendly period. I’m enjoying her friendship and the tension of keeping together a marriage which wasn’t working is no longer in the way.

Gosh, I wonder what will go wrong!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!!!!!
