Huh?

There is a point to the seeming random first post. Those who know wher my username came from will hopefully get the "joke". Those who don't, may want to head here for enlightenment.

ObRandomWibble: For some reason, IE's auto-complete decided to give me the option of Firm breasts as the subject for my post. I find this frankly disturbing and would like to state for the record that I have no idea where that came from...

Yes, it's an even better afternoon when it's in larger type. ;-)

The natural conclusion to IE's auto-complete giving you a subject line of "Firm breasts" is that you've been posting things under the subject line of "Firm breasts" elsewhere. Care to share with the class...? *raises eyebrow*

I didn't do it. Nobody saw me do it. You can't prove anything.

As a matter of fact, none of the entries look familiar. I suspect that they must be due to someone using my machine to access Hotmail or some-such. As that's most likely family, I'm developing a sudden urge to dig no further...

It might have been me one of the times I was down there. ;-)

Hang on, that's the wrong way round. You should be accusing me of miscellaneous malarky, not me incriminating myself! Without a good reason to do so, even!

Anyway, you can't go to bed yet. Oh no. You've got your interests list to do first...

Oh no. If I start doing intrests now, I'll never get any sleep. My alarm clock goes off in about 5 hours time, and I've got a fun day out visiting two co-los down in London. Ah, the joy of public transport...

Ah. In that case, you just interface your mobile phone with your laptop and there you have the world's first Oxford Tube M40blog, complete with local-indpendent-radio-style traffic'n'travel updates.

Or maybe you'll discover someone else doing the same thing on the same bus and you'll have the world's second Oxford T00b M40blog...

I had already noticed that there exists a PalmOS client for LJ, so the idea of the Oxford Express (TOOb sux, X90 is leet!!!) M40blog had crossed my mind, but since work started making me pay the mobile 'phone bill (for "tax reasons", apparently) my cheapskate persona nixed the idea. Besides, Graffiti® just ain't cut out for large amounts of verbage, and the Babe-Magnet folding keyboard only realy works on nice flat surfaces.

Fair enough. There's nothing wrong with being a cheapskate - after all, that's what has got you your extremely impressive collection of DVDs, games and books.

However, I suspect you might not be thinking laterally enough. Couldn't you just install a wireless ethernet card and wardrive (er, war-be-driven? war-passenger?) all the way down the M40, leeching off the Internet connections of all the buildings you pass on the way?

OK, this wouldn't really work when you're going down the M40, but I bet it you could get something useable - albeit briefly - when you got into central London and the traffic jams stop you from moving faster than about 50m per minute...

Should I let you get to bed now? ;-)
