An Apple a day keeps the neck-ache away
General By Al - April 4th, 2006I’m back on my computer, but I’m not on my Apple Cinema Display. The burn in mark from the shadows on my windows (courtosy of Stardock’s WindowFX program) has almost gone, but I want to leave my monitor off for a few more days until it’s dissapeared completely. It’s not the program that’s done it (so don’t be put off by it), it’s just that I’ve been careless and keep forgetting to turn my monitor off.
I am however, going to be buying myself one of the new Intel-based Mac Mini‘s from Apple. I’ve wanted an Apple Macintosh ever since I was in primary school (thanks Matt)
And now, after many years I’m finally able to do it. And life will be so much easier too as I’ll be able to do creative stuff with far less hassle (as well as have a far more stable computer). So expect the possibility of comics on this site to become more of a reality.
Anyway, assuming I don’t get too distracted from the comments on this site, I shall attempt to complete this post within 4 hours. Flyakite has suggested that at the rate these comments are going that perhaps I should get a chat room on here? Comments anyone?
This is getting quite difficult to write. Take a look at the image below;

That would be my desk. That’s my Apple Cinema Display upon it, and my secondary monitor on the TV Shelf in the top left corner. I’m now using that monitor, and it’s still on the shelf, and I must say that I am getting terrible neck ache. For that reason, I’m going to give this a break now and return to my bed where I can rest it.
Ouch.


Slipped in snow. Hurt my leg. Hobbled to the tube station. Missed my train. Damn you snow!
Why is season 7 of ds9 so shit, you were doing so well!

Wow, @zavvi is pretty useless, they sent a £70 item wrapped in a thin bag! Let's see if their customer service is any good.

I would send you Steve the melon, but he’s currently with another melon called babooska, and I think that it would be unfair to seperate them so early into their relationship.

i am honestly unsure of how I feel about a chatroom.. I mean, I’d use it… but I’d miss the comments at the same time… granted 200 comments to read per post is a little ridiculous (if you haven’t been following along while they are posted). so yeah, something should be done… its kinda tricky to think about though.

I say no to the chatroom. It wouldn’t be the same. The comments, well it’s unexpected. You don’t know who is viewing, and what will be said. And that’s the fun Plus with a chatroom a lot more can be said much quicker, so unless you’re dedicated to paying attention to the room, you will get lost much, much faster.

oo yeah i agree actually, Booooo to chatrooms, yay,,,to er wateva this is…infact what is it? a forum?
@ | April 4th, 2006 at 10:29 pm
The other key reason is that, unless you are in the chatroom at the time, you miss everything. With the comment system, everyone can see it at any time, and add to it at any time. Case closed, I win.
@iMcFly | April 4th, 2006 at 10:43 pm
Case closed, bagged, tagged, sealed… I agree with all of the above.
It’s nice to know that we do have a community growing here though.
Awwww… look at all the people!
Dave’ll be thrilled. I’m sure. Once he gets his lazy ass online. Yeah, something’s gotta be done about that boy….
