60ish Things You Probably Don't (Want To) Know About Me

Another one of those time-wasting notes passing through Facebook...

1. What is on your bed right now?
My bedding (sheet, pillows, duvet - not the denim one sadly, a Wilkos special), my really cool Rainbow throw from Toybox, my Snoopy bag from Lizi and a copy of Sushi for Beginners, the left overs from my lunch (fallen out of my bag), my Snoopy PJs, the rabbit soft toy from Clare and the coolest monkey ever.

2. When was the last time you threw up?
Hmmm... ages ago (thank goodness). I'm not sure I can actually remember. It might have been the summer after my first year of uni - 2004 - food poisoning from Butlins, Minehead.

3. What's your favorite word or phrase?
"It's funny" is the one I currently seem to use too often. I quite like charlatan, mountebank and masquerade - good old fashioned words.

6. What were you doing 30 minutes ago?
Reading on the bus.

7. What is your favorite holiday?
Right now, any holiday at all! I love Easter because it has Spring Harvest in it and that is good, I love Christmas because it's just generally awesome and summer would be better if there was more lounging about in not-too-much-but-just-enou

gh sun.

8. Have you ever been to a strip club?
Strangely, no.

9. What is the last thing you said aloud?
The code to get into the laundrette - a guy in our kitchen still doesn't know!

10. What is the best ice cream flavor?
B&J Phish Food (without the fish) or Half Baked. If it isn't B&J then it has to be vanilla (not that I'm fussy). Sorbet's better than ice cream anyway.

11. What was the last thing you had to drink?
Hot water straight from the flask - I burnt my tongue.

12. What are you wearing right now?
Jeans, boots, a stripy top and my red hoodie (and the required set of undergarments). Also, my coat - I should take that off.

13. What was the last thing you ate?
A plain chocolate digestive.

14. Have you bought any new clothing items this week?
Nope, thank goodness. I have too many clothes.

15. When was the last time you ran?
Um... probably for the bus sometime last week?

16. What's the last sporting event you watched?
Haha, I don't even seem to watch sport. Oh dear.

17. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Somewhere with lots of exciting walking to do. Lots of green.

18. Who is the last person you sent a comment/message on facebook?
Chris asking me to project last weekend.

19. Ever go camping?
Yep! It's usually hard work but lots of fun.

20. Do you have a tan?
Never!

21. Have you ever lost anything down a toilet?
I dropped my phone once (never put anything in the back pocket of your jeans).

22. What is your guilty pleasure?
Reading when I think I should be working.

23. Do you use smiley faces on the computer a lot?
A bit but a lot less than I use to I think.

25. What did your last text message say?
"That's good. Hope you're having fun. I'm on a train with Graham going to Liverpool. Love, Saff" - to Charlotte

26. Are you someone's best friend?
I hope so!

27. What are you doing tomorrow?
Lectures on memory management and networking. A Linux practical.

Derbyshire?

29. Look to your left, what do you see?
My printer and my nice clean carpet!

30. What color is your watch?
Navy blue with Snoopy on (though the one I'm wearing is not mine!)

31. What do you think of when you think of Australia?
Naff soaps, James, an array of funny animals.

32. Ever ridden on a roller coaster?
Yep. I used to love them but now I'm a bit more nervy.

33. What is your birthstone?
Not a clue.

34. Do you go in at a fast food place or just hit the drive thru?
Eat in. I haven't used a drive thru for years.

43. Biggest annoyance in your life right now?
Not enough sleep.

44. Last song listened to?
Stuff from the Buffy musical episode. That sounds a lot sadder than I am.

45. Last movie you saw?
Black sheep?

46. Are you allergic to anything?

New technology causes great excitement!

My Dad seems to have started sending on a number of forwards recently. Most of them are actually pretty amusing so I shan't complain too much. He sent me this one just now, I'm pretty sure I've seen it before, but I'd mostly forgotten...

BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology: no wires, no electric circuits, no batteries, nothing to be connected or switched on. It's so easy to use even a child can operate it. Compact and portable, it can be used anywhere - even sitting in an armchair by the fire-yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM disc.

Here's how it works: BOOK is constructed of sequentially numbered sheets of paper (recyclable), each capable of holding thousands of bits of information. The pages are locked together with a custom-fit device called a binder, which keeps the sheets in their correct sequence.

Opaque Paper Technology (OPT) allows manufacturers to use both sides of the sheet, doubling the information density and cutting costs. Experts are divided on the prospects for further increases in information density; for now, BOOKS with more information simply use more pages. Each sheet is scanned optically, registering information directly into your brain. A flick of the finger takes you to the next sheet.

BOOK may be taken up at any time and used merely by opening it. BOOK never crashes or requires re booting, though like other display devices it can become unusable if exposed to high ambient temperatures. The "browse" feature allows you to move instantly to any sheet, and move forward or backward as you wish. Many come with an "index" feature, which pinpoints the exact location of any selected information for instant retrieval.

BOOK can be stored for an almost unlimited amount of time without connecting any outside power source. Many BOOK units may be stored together, as they cause no interference with one another, even when placed in close proximity.

An optional "BOOKmark" accessory allows you to open BOOK to the exact place you left it in a previous session-even if the BOOK has been closed. BOOKmarks fit universal design standards; thus, various manufacturers can use a single BOOKmark in BOOKs. Conversely, numerous BOOKmarkers can be used in a single BOOK if the user wants to store numerous views at once. Only the number of pages in the BOOK limits the number.

You can also make personal notes next to BOOK text entries with an optional programming tool, the Portable Erasable Nib Cryptic Intercommunication Language Stylus (PENCILS). Portable, durable, and affordable, BOOK is being hailed as a precursor of a new entertainment wave. Also, BOOK's appeal seems so certain that thousands of content creators have committed to the platform and investors are reportedly flocking. Look for a flood of new titles soon.

I would fall for the geek and the gentleman

You would fall part for the geek.
