Onimo joined!

He told me. I've told him about here. I'm sure he'll be along at some point to share your enthusiasm :-)

I'm sure those that didn't know will see it mentioned over there(about here) I think the last fm watercooler may remain active so the music chat is confined there and away from here.
Unless people can't be arsed posting to both. In which case normal spacerock/prog rock service will be resumed here shortly ;)

Is the last fm watercooler the same thing as the last fm ILXOR group?

― I Am Curious (George) (Slight Return) (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Yup. We sought refuge there while ILX was down.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

And now, we seek to conquer.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Not until you join us on last fm, Ned. I've only spent the last 2 years trying to get you on there. I gave up.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

That's because I don't listen to music on my computer much! Usually it's CDs or mp3 discs I've burned and then play over there. Better sound, you see.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought you ripped all your music to mp3 and sold the cds because of space issues.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Is the last fm watercooler the same thing as the last fm ILXOR group?

No, it's another last.fm group - it's called "UK Watercooler".

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh heavens no. I just ripped the stuff I didn't listen to anymore. (Which was about, oh, a thousand CDs to start with.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

How many cds do you have????

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Ned will be back in February, Kerr, when he's finished counting them all.

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Hahahaha.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Instead of selling them you should build a boat. A very shiny boat.

― nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

At highest count, something like 5000 CDs, I think. I believe I'm down to around 4000 and probably something like...*thinks*...not sure, 500 mp3 CDRs? More?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Is that audio cdrs or data cdrs?

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Why would anyone have 500 new Star Trek cdrs?

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh dear.

Pfunk -- the latter.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I used to have that Ned until I got a dvd writer. Holds a lot more.I have 100 dvdrs I think.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

This is why I plan on a MacMini soon.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Too much.

― Gerry Watt (nu_onimo), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

OH GOD, THE NEW OLD ILX SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED POXY FULING ALREADY! ARGH!!!!!

I am listening to Can today, because I finally got my staff copy of Plan B and FMM had a big article about them.

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 09:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello. ILX isn't working for me today.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 10:02 (seventeen years ago) link

OH god, I'm counting down the hours til I get to go home and just die.

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!
Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the martians under wraps?
We do! We do!
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do! We do!
Who robbed the Irish of Home Rule?
Who keeps ILX in POXY FULE?!?!?
We do! We do!

I have been forced to take this week off work (actual reason, working too hard) and have spent the afternoon teaching myself that Oliver Barbieri tilt-shift photography thing. Some are obviously the work of a beginner, but I have a couple I'm really pleased with and will post in the thread if ILX ever comes up again.

Tomorrow I am going to play with my new camera.

― much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Hurrah for new cameras.

I've just got in trouble because my colleagues made me sing the American national anthem, out loud, because none of them could remember how it went (one of them thought it was Land Of Hope And Glory, ha ha). Oh, what hilarity.

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm a bit scared of my new camera. 8Mpixels seems like an awful lot (supports A3 photo printing, apparently).

And the garage have just phoned to say I need to pick up my new car tomorrow.

― much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:20 (seventeen years ago) link

New camera, new car... blimey.

I've got a new... errr... skirt.

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Camera was a birthday present.

Old car literally falling to bits, ex-wife sells house and gives me the money I've been waiting on for SEVEN FUCKING YEARS, script writes itself.

Happy birthday for the other day aldo!

― nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Great! You can drive me to Skye, then!

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

happy birthday for the other day aldo! I didn't know and no-one told me *slaps Onimo rounds head*

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 15:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't know until someone told me afterwards! *gives ailsa a knuckle sandwich*

― nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Some "friend" you are, not knowing people's birthdays. (Consider your virtual slap retracted)

'Mini Indians in a mini Jaipur street' works best, I think.

Bah. It's way too early to be poxy fuled. Tell us what it's all about Benjamin?

I've had no sleep last night. Up at 5am with stress dreams and even hot milk couldn't get me back to sleep. I'm exhausted from lugging heavy bags of equipment across London at inappropriate hours, fighting commuter traffic.

early? its been down since about 7pm last night.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I wasn't here last night. I was sitting on Ed's couch listening to our single on a really, really good stereo.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Right, I finally upped and ordered the single!

Ooh, it'd better be good! :)

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:20 (seventeen years ago) link

On Ed's stereo... well, Ed's stereo sounds SOOO NICE that everything sounds good on it. But well, it was the first time I'd actually listened to it and really felt... PROUD.

Like, "wow, we made that!"

So if you don't like it... get a better stereo! hah! :-P

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:22 (seventeen years ago) link

(I've ordered a better stylus, funnily enough)

Are these like the literary equivalent of that "Find X - Here it is!" mathematical paper? ;-)

"There must be some reason why this person will always be remembered as Shakespeare's brown-haired individual."

Maybe because they have brown hair?

You could just rename the skating thread to

Watercooler Sub Zero: Ice Capades

as it's all the same people and this thread is about a million posts too long.
