on my very modestly trafficked personal video site
Morgan that is some funny sh1t. Nice to see Grafton looking so good.(I lived there for nearly a decade and never knowingly had the pleasure of falling off the planet into your world).

the Greeks and the Romans were fine with it
Actually I read the Symposium a long time ago and had forgotten about it...Kinda figured that it sounded like they were just seeking to justify it back then, rather than to say, you don't need to justify it....we're cool with that...which is how I see the current view.
Anyway time for bed here too.

And on that happy note
Dunno about anyone else, but I'm kinda proud that I lived in an age when same sex relationships were given legal recognition. However many thousand years of humans, dunno how many hundreds of years of government & (ok relative few of) democracy and the changd occurred in our watch (not that my role in this was much beyond voting). I think that there are improvements still to be made, but it's far from depressing. Chin-up David. (Shadow of large political change looms large)...Oh sh-ivers.

you clearly haven't heard me sing
That's no problem, I'm a terrible listener. If all we're aiming to do is better the current anthem, there's even room for Mark to do a terribly self-indulgent accordion solo at the end....I had overlooked his important role in my initial vision/seizure.
My guess is that Simon travels so much because it's a Zen thing. I'd imagine and I don't have to do that very hard, that it's for much the same reason as guy picks up his sticks and moves to Bali. Simon seems like he's got it together...I'll stop now before I get inspired.

right kind of wrongness
It's all about Supply and Demand.

Hey Judi, I got my first paying customer....
-
is that homosexual agenda I keep hearing so much about, but nobody's ever got around to posting me a copy.
Deny, deny, DENY....You're probably part of it too. Can't trust anyone.
In the absence of real thing, just make one up and pass it around as the genuine article. As Juha always says, never let the facts get in the way...
When's RB gonna get music linked into these posts?....I have a totally original version of the theme from the X-files on an accordion that would be timely.

Wow Damian, you really seem to be able to kill a good time...guess it's the not drinking thing.
Way to go Rich!(Are you a ginge like Hadyn too?) I was totally thinking of doing the same thing...'cept mine would have been funnier and true.
Anyway it's cold out and I was enjoying the thought process so much...
I now reside in the UK. Not really by choice, nor by extradition, but sort of because the missus hadn't done her OE. So currently I'm on OE2.0. Anyway they really don't know the meaning of good customer service in this country, particularly East London where we reside. Some of the stuff we see going on is so messed up, you just have to laugh, or drink...most people tend to drink, but I store it away for later....and amuse myself & perhaps others with stories about it down the line.
Anyway sometimes I miss my old job at Voafone. I'm sure they miss me disrupting their plans & meetings and I'm sure they are a hell of a lot more productive without me keeping them on the straight & narrow. There were many interesting, helpful people, who thought they could change NZ telecommunications from within...even for the better. I miss being in teams where people were frequently asking "Where is the love?" with regards to the customer's perspective. (Without a word of lie up to here). Frequently we used to go the really big room where Vodafone kept all it's money (including the money belonging to the customers) and the boss, or "King" as he liked to be called (also with the name Russell...spooky) would lounge around wearing only his jockeys & goldtops. Everyone would roll around in all that money until we were over it and the King would bite the heads of live snapper between enjoying the crisp clean taste of Monteith's....Which he used to frequently state was like drinking pure NZ but bottled and made of hops, barley and sugar...Water too. The King liked his fish, though I don't know if he liked cheeseburgers. One day were in the money room and the King had to use the loo and he never came back. We all very sad and before I knew it I'd written a bunch damned lies and turned my nice comment, that was supposed to be full of truthiness into the comment equivalent of "From Dusk till Dawn". Worse still the 3G data usage at Whangamata dropped away.
Sorry dude my eyes glazed over there for a bit and I don't know what happened. I think I might have caught rabies from that dream.

Firefox 3.0.3, Windows 2000 SP4, if anyone has any ideas to help ...
(Jon stumbles through the swinging saloon type doors, that then slap him in the back, making him lurch forward and momentarily distracting Jon from realising he's now in Sarcasim Corner. Jon then looks up sees Mark, "Yo Mark" and nods acknowledgement to the others before sitting down to type)
..Take it straight to MOTAT. They'll likely give you 2 or 3 pefectly good laptops that are running Vista exactly as intended. Don't worry none of these will give you any joy either, but at least you will have done a good dead for Musuems in NZ. Then find someone who knows someone about getting your hands on machine that can still run XP. Mac's are for old people, who can't use a two button mouse with a scrollwheel.
Is there an alternative format the files are in? Is their another peice of software that can fulfil the role of Window Media Mangler? You might have fallen so far off the software upgrade path, that giving the computer to an 11 year old for a couple of days might be the only non-cash way out of that hole.
The other option is a hardware one. Old PC motherboards (or perhaps it's the CPU BUS) are prone to losing the odd electron now and then, particularly if the PC has been left running for long periods with little in the way of use. To cut a long story short, there is a chemcial reaction and the lead (yes lead) that is used in the solder dissipates. So you have apply a bit more lead. For this you take a shotgun and when all the safety shiz is over and done with you shot the motherboard whilst shouting "take that you dirty mofo, I said if you don't do as I want I's gonna put some caps in your ass". Upload the video of this on youtube and with 4-8 years you should have enough revenue from the to get a new abacus and boyles law will have bought the price of new puter down to less than a pack of B&H Golden Mild 25's (cough).

a kid's idea of a politician
When you put it that way, there is perhaps the odour of Regan wafting around....
and that's pre-incontinence pants for all you weirdos who are getting your kicks from people writing about watersports on the web out there....Yes we know who you are and we're noting you IP and MAC addresses as you pause to read this very long sentence (just need that last block of digits....what do you mean they're using a proxy and you need me to keep typing so you can get the details from the proxy based in Romania)...so there.
