Funny -- I was jus thinking about that program over the weekend! :lol

Back in the mid-1990s, there was a now-defunct local computer shop in our small town that always had that screen-saver/game program running on the few computers they had on display in the front windows; it was the first thing that greeted you when you entered their store!

Love that screensaver. A remake would be cool.

I have found proof that the infamous recipe for everyone's favorite drink in Monkey Island can indeed be survivable if imbibed in at least one other fictional universe. Well...sort of, anyways.

The page where I stored my little jumper avatar seems to be down and I don't have a copy of him. If my avatar still appears to you please keep a copy somewhere. :(

I think it's only momentarily down, but I worry a bit for him. :p

Edit: Had a copy in my temp folder. Pheeew, now let's hope the page returns soon, because I can't manually set it as my avatar.

Man, I haven't cracked open my copy of the animators survival in so long, I really should review. It's a great book, even if I never do follow it's suggest of not listening to music while working.

For some reason I always thought you had one Ang, must have been thinking of when you got your psp and were excited about it. You had one when I still hated them, now I have one and regret it... I should crack it since it won't matter if I brick it... hmmm. *leaves to ponder*

I thought the iPhone is a gadget that really isn't all that great, but nobody wants to admit it. :|

You gotta hate it when you're out on the city for a beer, and there's always this group of people in every bar having fun only because of their iPhones. I call them the 'iPhone family', and they alone prevent me from considering buying one.

I dunno Spikey, I used to think exactly that before I got my iPhone, I'd even had a play on my cousins and my Dad's and wasn't that impressed. Have to say though ever since I've got it I've not been able to put it down for long, there's just so much to do on it and the games on it are miles better than even DS games.

Getting tempted to purchase a couple of CDJ-400s and a DJM400 (Pioneer CD turntables and a mixing console). Will have to wait until I get enough money, though (looking at approx $AU2500 if I budgeted right). I caught the DJ bug when I flew back to Perth for a couple of weeks in October and had a crack on a mate's set of decks.
