Another lazy day...

Was too apathetic to get up, so stayed in bed until around one. Then I had to do mundane stuff like shop for food and do obscene amounts of Laundry. Oh, what fun. Added a few new pics to my LiveJournal and noticed that a couple more people have friended me (waves). After that, I got down to doing some more writing - had to forcibly restrain one of my characaters from referring to himself as a t00b (whatever that means), so have clearly been reading too much LJ. Watched WarGames while I ate tea - another surprisingly good movie which I haven't watched for years. More CD ripping and writing and writing after that - noticed that have just passed 15,000 words, so about 1/5 done. Unfortunately, expect to run out of plot ideas in about 5-10,000 words time. Darn. Wrote LiveJournal entry. Went to bed. (OK, that last part is still in the future).

War, Games, what is it good for? Quite a lot, actually

Ahem. Have calmed down now.

WarGames rocks very very hard indeed, my favourite film ever for many years. Do you have it on DVD or VHS? (Indeed, how is it available?)

Will get webcam at some point. Webcams are cool, but the main problem I've had over the years is a feeling that I don't know other people who have them. If you have one then that's one more than the old total...

I am really rather embarrassed by my lack of involvement on the YKW. It has been three consecutive weeks where my (time of) good intentions has come to naught. Damn, I suck. Still interested, though.

Absolutely Nothin'

I got WarGames on DVD (£7.99 on Amazon, the have the VHS for £2 less). Definitely one of the better hacker flicks - actual wardialing! Some of the tech is less plausible, but I'll let 'em off for dramatic license.

It's actually a LEGO® cam that you can build into your LEGO robots along with some basic vision recognition stuff. You can of course use it as a basic webcam as well, not that I ever have. I have no desire to be the next JenniCam.

Not sure what the TLA YKW means (hey, It's Monday Morning), but if you're referring to what I think you're referring to, then dinna fash yersel' - if you get the chance to have a look, then great, if not, that's fine too.

YKW = You-Know-Who, or in this situation, You-Know-What. And evidently you do know what. :-)
