Fly High, Fly Low, You Cannot Escape

Oh, look - it's Richard's birthday. Richard Stocks. I went to school with Richard, like when . . . well, up until I was about 10 years old, I guess. He moved to somewhere near Hull. We were good friends. I often wonder what happened to Richard. Last time I saw him must have been about 17 or 18 years ago, when I was decorating my bedroom at my parent's house. I had gone out of my black/purple/green (the purple was wisteria, and the green was more of dark turquoise, bluey green) phase and was entering a white phase. Everything was going white and the floorboard were being sanded and varnished. And . . . yeah, Richard turned up. But I don't think I've seen him since. So, happy birthday, Richard, wherever you are. Rob, you'll remember Richard.

Anyway, I have university work due on Wednesday, so that's why I'm sat here by my keyboard. I see that ulph.co.uk finally has something there, although I'm not sure what. We'll wait and see . . .

And this - http://www.aquaplastics.org/ - they need your clicks! Visit and pass the word on; I like watching those numbers grow. By my calcuations, they should make it by June 22nd, which is the deadline. When I got the e-mail from Anna earlier this week, I worked out they would need roughly 16,400 clicks a day, but this number keeps shrinking, and at the moment I believe this figure to be more like 16,000. Like I say, tell your friends, and get them to visit once a day . . . it can't hurt . . . can it?

And I ordered a new monitor, using kelkoo to find me the cheapest. I was a bit amazed to find a 17" TFT for only 260 pounds (sorry - can't be bothered to find the Sterling Pound symbol), so . . . yeah, that's what I ordered . . . from some people called Komplett. I think this was long overdue. My present CRT never seems quite focused and barely measures 14" along the diagonal. There may have been other cheaper monitors of a similar ilk from Dabs, but after reading these, I thought against it. Sure, there are good reviews there, but I've experienced their customer service before and thought I'd try someone else. Anyway, back to work . . . (the image is my main computer with the UV light installed . . . there was also this one, but it's pretty similar, really)

Oh, and one final, final, final thing . . . really it is. I was in some IRC chat-room thingy (probably #biblechat again) and this guy sent me some links to some crazy stuff he's written . . . conspiracy theories and that lot. As usual, I'm not interested in truth . . . I just find it interesting. I haven't had a chance to read either of these, but it all sounds like good stuff . . . a lot of 'names' being dropped, like Wilhelm Reich, Tesla, Montauk, the Philadelphia Experiment, et cetera, et cetera. The guy even purported (?!) to have heard of Tom Bearden, but said his 'research' began with Bearden. Lord only knows where you go after you've digested the work of Tom Bearden, but hey. That picture there's dedicated to Tom - an action shot of me using one of his mugs (another example of work displacement). Get one here. Here's the links anyway, do with what you will:
