I would very much like to get hold of a BLACK artline 541T whiteboard pen. Unfortunately, ebay only seems to have them in pink/pruple/brown/orange. Nowere else in the UK sells them.
:(

4:54 pm - Cambridge is boring!
|
Hi all.
I'm looking for a list of fun or interesting things to do in Cambridge that I haven't done already. Does anyone have any recommendations? - there doesn't seem to be a lot in town beyond pubs and clubs...

11:42 pm - Paper.
|
I obsess about stationery. It's important for me to have the right paper for whatever I'm doing.
A quick search of my desk reveals I have the following:
A block of square thin white notepaper, about 3inches square.
1000 sheets of origami paper (small)
three edward monkton spiral bound notebooks
several piles of paperchase/john lewis blank cards, to make your own cards.
5 blocks of various sized post-it notes.
4 stacks of record cards, half from rymans, half are 300GSM ivory boards from tindalls.
3 Reams of cheap 80GSM copier paper from rymans.
5 notebooks of lined A4 paper, of different thicknesses and line thicknesses.
1 spiral bound notebook of different coloured square paper (paperchase. this is lovely.)
2 notebooks of handmade paper, with bits in.
1 pile ivory card.
100 sheets 100GSM laid paper in ivory colour.
4 blocks white A6 paper.
1 spiralbound A5 notebook blank sketch paper from tindalls (this is very nice.)
1 large spiral bound blank A3 paper.
3 notebooks brown thick paper.
1 notebook "paper crafts" paper that I use for maelstrom.
1 tiny square notebook handmade paper.
1 box of card from "the paper shop" contains about 200 sheets of card/paper in pretty much any colour imaginable.
Degree certificate.
I notepad wartermarked paper from the "Office of the deputy prime minister" - not sure where I got this.
that's about it... I need more A5 paper. Maybe I should visit the paper shop and get another box.

4:00 am - iTunes fghasfjashdjsjsd.
|
Okay. So, someone who understands iTunes, can you help me?
I am using a mac, and I own an ipod, so my typical method of dealing with my music collection is to use iTunes. Right?
Looking at the itunes window, it reports that my music collection is 17.6 GB - it'd be more, but there isn't much space left on my HD to rip any more of my Cds.
Looking at the "music" folder on my HD, it is about 35GB large. Evidently Itunes is doing something retarded, and I'm wasting a huge amoung of HD space somehow.
Does anyone know what's going on? is there a sensible way of dealing with this? I don't want to do something and "accidentally" remove my entire music collection. that'd suck.
Thoughts?

12:29 am - Locked Room Murder.
|
I've been watching a lot of Detective Conan recently, the sheer number of different weird tricks it uses to mislead police investigators is phenomenal. If you ever find yourself in the situation where you're going to commit suicide, but want to make it as hard as possible to figure out what happened, try all of the following:

12:33 am - Emergency procedure.
|
So today we found an unconscious person at the side of the road. He seemed uninjured, apart from a scrape above his right eye. He was somewhere in his forties, breathing, reeking reavily of alcohol, and in the recovery position. After several attempts to wake him had failed, Thomas phoned for an ambulance, and while it was on the way the person on the phone recommended that we roll him onto his back.
Is this some new standard procedure? I thought that you should always try to put an unconscious person into the recovery position if they're uninjured and breathing. The only time I'd put someone on their back is if they were suffering from shock but conscious. (I recall instruction to put someone on their back with their feet raised in this situation.)

1:08 pm - Adventure in Sawston!
|
A bright sunny day. A relaxing Monday afternoon.
TERROR IN SAWSTON.
CRIME, POLICE, PUBLIC TRANSPORT.
Will ahdok be able to find the police station? Will he be able to claim his girlfriend's property without any form of written documentation? Will the artwork be undamaged after a night at the bottom of a soggy waterlogged ditch? Will the bus service charge for a dayrider plus to get there in the first place?
Stay tuned.
(Today's adventure will include paper cranes and a fujifilm finepix F50fd.)
current mood:  hopeful
current music: Dispatch - Mission

2:46 am - Experiment results.
|
The hypothesis went as follows:
Length of Livejournal entry is inversely proportional to number of responses.
The experiment does seem to conform to this pattern...
