I’ll name that computer in one
Mr. Bsag generally has a rather troubled and tempestuous relationship with computersâhe doesn’t get on well with them, and they don’t like him much in return. However, he does like spotting guest appearances by Macintoshes on TV programmes and films (it’s amazing what several years of intensive brain-washing by a spouse can do). We were watching something on TV, and he thought he spotted one:
Him: âLook! It’s an iBook!â
Me: âIt’s a white fabric place mat, you loon!â
The iMatâ¢. It will be the next big thing, you mark my words.
Outlying spam
Like many people, I’ve been deluged by virus-laden and bounced emails (with my address spoofed as the sender) as a result of the MyDoom virus. I’ve also had the usual quantity of spam, through which I have to dredge to find my genuine email. But among the usual crop of âhot chicks/viagra/Atkins dietâ tempting offers, one spam stood outâmetallic yarn on special offer.
And my metallic yarn needs have gone unfulfilled for so long.
Blizzard
The snow has suddenly started coming down, and has covered everything within a couple of minutes. It is hitting our bedroom window horizontally and coming in, despite the fact that the window is closed. There’s something to be said for UPVC double glazing.
