Guess it's time I contribute to this thread
 I've been buying up tons of games from all over the place in the last 6 months. - The Space Quest Classic Collection (all 6 of them) - All the Law & Order games - The CSI series - Amerzone - The Secrets of Da Vinci: Forbidden Manuscript - Leisure Suit Larry Collection - Traitorsgate 2 - DVD version of the Longest Journey - Nancy Drew - Double Dare 4 and White Wolf - Sam & Max: Hit the Road + Season 1 and 2 Needles to say, that of course I've also gotten most of the newer games like Runaway 2, Jack Keane, Agatha Christie: Evil under the Sun etc. And on Ebay or Amazon marketplace I found: The Feeble Files, The Gabriel Knight mysteries (all 3 of them even. Had them before but were scratched), The Pandora Directive (mine had mysteriously disappeared!) I've also purchased a DS Lite in white and games for it: Hotel Dusk: Room 215, Another Code (Trace memory), Touch Detective 2½, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney and Justice For All. And to top it off, of course my super powerful new PC  In the DVD movie department I got myself: - The Indiana Jones Boxset - E. T Special Edition - The Fantastic Four - The Fifth Element And the latest of of Harry Potter... And NO, i'm not broke. I still have money left to pick up more games in the next few months

I recently got my order of the Otherland series part 2 - 4, The man who mistook his wife for a hat and other clinical stories, and Daniel Defoes story about the man who got his portrait painted, of which I forgot the title. Loads to read!

Oooooh, I like origami, make me a little swan.
As British summer time is now upon us, I felt the need to purchase a new pair of sunglasses. Sticking with a theme, succeeding last year's Aviators, another iconic Ray-Ban classic, the Wayfarer.  Oh, and I also booked flights for my holiday to Portugal in June. I need somewhere to show off my new shades after all, hehe.

I can fold you a swan as it's landing on water. ^_^Quote:
It is. The step-by-step guide consists of 274 steps, on about 20 pages.  ...I tried it yesterday with a bit of newspaper. Have to find better paper, as it quickly gets confusing with the printing *and* the folds. Also, once I've managed that, I'll have to try to find out how to fold something without step-by-step guide, and only from crease patterns. -

My laptop died suddenly so I had to buy a replacement. It's a splurge because I'd been eyeing the Asus eeePC for months and figured I'd get one in the next year or so. The laptop dying forced my hand and I got to get the eee a little eeearly.

I just bought - or, more accurately, am in the process of buying - 12-sheet builder's plans of the HMS Frisky, Dainty-class tug of the Admiralty, AKA Gustavo Ipland, of a German shipping company, AKA Foundation Franklin of the Halifax-based salvage company Foundation Maritime, from the National Maritime Museum of the United Kingdom. I'll post pics ASAP.

I just splurged on a sausage and bacon baquette with tomato ketchup but I am in the office very early today.
Our main DSL line is down so we're having to use a much slower backup to connect to a remote server. Engineer is booked to come out some time within a four hour timeslot.

So far everything's worked fine -- WiFi, OpenOffice, the easy little interface, and the several games that came on it. As of right now, I think all the eeePCs are Linux. For me it does what I want in a secondary computer -- tiny, easy to tote, does all the basics, and fairly cheap. So far I love it. I can toss it into my purse and go -- something I couldn't do with my gargantuan Compaq laptop. |
