I wish I was a student again...life was fun and simple and stuff...although I did graphics so all I did was draw pretty pictures.

 

Now I have one question...why are there only empty bottles of malibu in this bar?

Don't you just love the general publics view on graphic design? I got the same "oh, so you draw stuff?" when I told people I did product design at uni.

 

There is a fresh batch of Malibu out the back, the truck just got in.

Should i use this avatar:

Or this which is currently applied?

Still waiting for the answer.

Or they are both so crappy that they are not just worth using?

Yup, all we do is draw pictures, no thought goes into it at all

 

A truck you say...

 

Malibu Malibu Malibu lalalalalalalala...

 

*Dizi vanishes for a while*

 

 

...lalalalalalalala

 

@ xhop I like the one you are using now as it is bright and eye catching...although the other one is good too, this is tough.

Okay, I'm off to bed now.. Again, have to wake up early tomorrow. It's already 23.06 in Estonia. Gosh.. days are passing so fast :/

G'night!

Sleep well Xhop

Good night Xhop! Ps. I prefer your current avatar as it has a lot more character

*starts to feel a little peckish after yet another short snooze*

 

Does this wonderful bar do tapas?

If so, i'd like chorizo al vino and a large glass of Sangre De Toro.

If not, I'll stick with the Jim Beam and make it a double please.

 

xhop, I also prefer your current avatar (nice and cheery).

* Stops by for a quick nightcap, mines a cognac please! *

 

Glad to be of help Elan, and xshop the current avatar is sunny, I like it

 

G'Night guys! No doubt I'll be back in the bar with a sack load of textbooks for a coffee and a quiet place to study around 7am tomorrow!

*downs the rest of his cider*

 

Catch you tomorrow Eris!

All this talk of avatars, and Oh Look - I seem to have a new one.

You have all been warned

Classic! Do we have a WDF-aholics Anonymous yet?

I'm sure we can organise one for you Rob. Hang in there...

I'm fine at the moment, it's when I have to spend time away that I'm worried about! I have another trip to France in 1 1/2 weeks, which I'm slightly concerned about

After spending most of the morning looking at different graphics tablets, it turns out that my brother has one that he doesn't need anymore (in fact he's hardly ever used it) and has very kindly said I could have it.

All he has said is that it is made by Trust.

That will be good enough for a bit of tinkering/experimenting won't it?

Here's a pic.

 

Hopefully saved me a few quid

Very nice, I notice a maxtor External drive (same one as mine I think!)

Hi Thomas, not too sure about the external drive; the picture was taken on my brother's desk.

Myself, I use a cheap and dirty iomega 360Gb external drive (about £40 if I remember rightly)

Awwh well I have a nice maxtor 400gb if I recall which auto updates (£60 half prize because of some crap with vista, fine with me I like XP)

*stumbles bleary eyed into the bar and settles himself down at a table, with his laptop and a cup of tea*

 

Don't you just hate it when you have stuff buzzing around your head and you just can't get to sleep? Looks like it's going to be a long night!!

* Enters the empty bar, yawns, stretches, grabs a coffee and settles down in the same corner as yesterday *

 

G'Morning again folks, no uni today. Hooray I can stay in the Bar all day!

*notices Rob asleep on the bar floor*

 

Hi Eris, don't get too drunk if you are staying here all day, as I will be jealous that you are able to be here and I have to work

 

How goes things?

*orders a cafe cortado and waits to see what the day will bring*

 

Good morning Eris

And good morning to you Dizi.

You should really wake Rob up you know.

He's lying next to where I was sick yesterday.

I just saw your post Elan, I hope that tablet brings you better luck then my Trust one, I gave mine away to a friend after a few days and went back to what I was originally using at the time. I think it was more because I was used to the Pen not needing a battery so the extra weight to me was unnatural and I just wasn't able to use it as it didn't feel the weight was distributing evenly. So if you don't like it because of the pen then thats not how all graphics tablets are as some don't require the pen to have batteries and do feel more natural to use.

Ah Good Morning folks *grabs more coffee*

 

I'm doing OK, TONNES of work to do but catching up on a few posts is way more fun.

 

I agree with Dizi on the pen thing, I looked at a couple of cheaper tablets and read about the battery in the pen... urgh. My wacom pen is about the weight of a biro but it is fatter.

 

What's everyone up to today?

Bugger I was up and now I'm down. Still, anything for nothing eh? At least it will give me something to practise with.

Oh Yes, excellent for practicing. It will least give you an indication of how much you might use it!

 

Anything for free indeedy. Don't be down!

ohh I didn't mean to bring you down, it might be better suited to you then it was me, after all that was just my personal experience of the Trust tablet...you might find it better to have a pen that has a bit of weight to it

*notbanksy enters the bar, humming 'the power of love' by Huey Lewis & the News, reminisces about 'Back to the Future' and embarks on a day long WDF reverie when, frankly, he really should be doing anything else.

 

Morning Dizi, Elan, Rob, Eris

Morning notbanksy, I trust you are in good spirits.

I always preferred the song at the end of Back To The Future. I think it was called Double Back Again by ZZTop

Correct me if I'm wrong.

*slowly opens his eyes and stares, blinking, around the the room at all the people watching him on the floor*

 

Er… where am I??

 

I tell you, that floor is surprisingly comfortable, it had an interesting aroma as well, sort of like Parmesan cheese!

**** you lot wake up early.

 

More tea? Nice cup of tea anyone?

Actually I feel to sleep on the floor during Liverpool v Chelsea last night, out cold I was.

 

Lady Headcoat asleep on the sofa, poor thing took a turn during dinner and went all dizzy, very worrying it was too.

 

So I'm on the floor trying to watch footie and playing doctor and the lights just went out, woke up an hour later.

 

Refreshed today and at the day job.

 

Yes please to the tea!

 

I couldn't believe what happened in that match last night. It was all going swimmingly and then... oh crap!

 

Hope Lady Headcoat feels better today.

Hate Chelsea with a vengance, being from west London and a Ranger it's in the blood, woke up as the equaliser went in in fact -brain being tuned into goals as it is..promptly went bakc to sleep.

 

Lady Headcoats still feeling a tad queer, have left her with strict instructions to visit the Doctor today. Very strange, though she's due to go to Spain for the weekend to see a friend working out there and I rather suspect it's a *female* reaction to being apart - pre-seperation anxiety if you like.

 

Hope Barca win today, love the city and it's people and a pwaper football club.

 

toodle pip

(off to put the kettle on for a nice cuppa)

 

ohh dear I hope that she feels better soon

*sends well wishes over the Internets to Lady Headcoat*

 

Hope she gets better soon!

*sends well wishes over the Internets to Lady Headcoat*

 

Hope she gets better soon!

 

Thank you I'll forward on your well wishes.

 

Why does absolutely everything have wheat in it?

 

What are people who are properly allergic to it supposed to eat? Let alone those with intolerances.

I had been feeling ill and noticed in coincided with eating bread... so have tried to cut it out for a few days.

 

It is absolutely impossible!

Your not one of those *vegan nut allergy* types are you Eris.

 

I'd love to see research on how many people with allergies are also veggies or vegans.

 

Just kidding.

 

You can get non-wheat bread...

 

More tea (or are you allergic to caffeine )
