cheerfulDoes anyone know what's happening to the New Scientist LJ feed lately? Haven't seen any postings since March, looks like it was blocked then by bad RSS code. This means that when it resumes several HUNDRED messages will be posted. Beginning to think I should unfriend it until the flood has passed. I've sent a message, without reply, anyone know of a specific e-mail address for this?
Someone on Cix is trying to flog a laptop like mine (Compaq Armada 1590DT) for 100 quid. It's a P166 with 80mb RAM, non-expandable, and lately has trouble showing AVI files, though that may be due to all the drivers etc. it has for one thing and another. I think 100 is slightly optimistic, to say the least. On the other hand this machine has worked reliably for 3 years now, and still has about three hour's battery life on a charge (it's reading 50% after about two hours on the roof, no CD use and not much disk access but still moderately impressive), so I'm in no hurry to ditch it.
And so, as the sun sinks majestically into the west (or at any rate is finally blocked by the flats along the road) I'd better sign off and think about getting some games writing done...
