Never take no for an answer- especially if you've brought handcuffs.

About Me

Generic computer geek. Most of the time introverted, but when I do start to feel a little outgoing I'm generally too shy to do anything about it.

My Interests

Computers. Spend all day at work fiddling with 'em, my lunch hour hunched over my keyboard surfing, then I come home and stay in my office until hubby lures me out with dinner (though half the time he just plops it on my desk). Real sociable, ain't I? Ok, new interest: Hellgate London. Graphics aren't pretty like Oblivion, and I doubt it'll replace Diablo II as the game I wasted most of my time on, but I'm definately having a blast.

I'd like to meet:


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Music:

Not really into music, but occasionally I'll enjoy listening to Dead Can Dance, Big Country, Lightning Seeds, Julian Cope, and some 70's rock.

Movies:

Alien(s), Pitch Black, Blazing Saddles, Caddyshack, Sabrina (the original), Onibaba, Suspiria (The music by the Goblins was awesome), A Tale of Two Sisters, Cube (love 'em all), Pi, The Eye, Kill Bill

Television:

Doctor Who (classic & new), Whose Line is it Anyway? (slight preference for the UK vers 'cos of censorship issues), The IT Crowd, Monty Python, Black Adder, Star Trek, Waiting for God (Diana is a hoot!), Blake's 7, Open all Hours, The Two Ronnies, Benny Hill, Tales from the Dark Side/Twilight Zone/Outer Limits, Fawlty Towers, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the TV series, not the suck-ass movie), Ugly Betty, Torchwood

Books:

Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series, anything by Sheri Tepper, Gael Baudino, Louise Marley. A lot of Jane Yolan, Andre Norton, Mercedes Lackey. Love Sci-Fi/Fantasy where there's an emphasis on characters and culture... and the main character is a woman. Can't really think of specific books 'cept Uhura's Song, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Household Gods, and those 'fairytales for adults' anthologies edited by Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling. Oh yeah, Margatet Atwood too.

Heroes:

Huh. Don't think I ever had one. Maybe Barnabas Collins?

Guess its time to write something

All sorts of computer goodness!

Oh, today's such a lovely day.  Work was reasonably uneventful 'cept for a user who spilt water in his laptop, and just so you know- you do not want to replace the fan in a Dell D620 laptop. ...

Thanks Vista- I gain a monitor but lose a drive.

The new monitors our boss ordered arrived! Dell 2407WFP. 24 inches of widescreen loveliness. I plug mine in to my Vista machine (which I've not been happy with- I use it at work 'cos it's "pretty" but...

It was supposed to be an uneventful day

Was happily playing with my computers when all of a sudden there was this large crash behind me.  What happened before, has happened again.  My shelves fell down.  The first time it was...
