These four really nice guys on horses arrived and asked me directions a couple of minutes after. Invited them in for a bit of tea and cake, really nice fellows, terrible dermatitis, gave them a card for my dermatologist but I think once you get past the point of seeing bone there's not much you can do.
They talked a lot about scythes, not very interesting conversation.
Purchasing a Sinclair Research ZX80 in kit form, assembling it and making it work first time.
Outside of computing, I've rebuilt a 1969 Datsun 240Z (with chrome badges on the pillars, Japanese import into Australia). Lesson learnt? Next time, make sure the body/chassis is in better condition before starting. I've learnt to hate panel and general body work. Sold for a loss, but made up for it in learning.
From when I was a kid, that and a tub of stuff called Tente which I collected for a number of years. It was a Spanish building block with lots of themed stuff and specialised pieces, I'm not sure if they're still around. They weren't compatible with Lego blocks though.
The problem with having a big tub of lego is that it's never just lego in the tub, like you'll find odd little things in there too, like plastic rings from the fairground, matchbox cars, maybe some playdough stuck to a flat piece of lego.
On call with a over the shoulder mobile phone, car battery sized base unit, cable to the handset. Very patchy access between wollongong and sydney, fixing compaq servers and stallion boards on the way. The signal was so patchy that I couldn't call home from the pub in the center of sydney. Being on call with that pretty much meant that I was totally over the whole cell phone thing within 6 months.

I always think of this toy we bought our cat, it's like a round disc with a tube around the edge with ping pong balls in it and a few holes in the side so kitty can chase the balls around for minutes and minutes.
I imagine a group of scientists standing at one point next to the tube with a hole, waiting and watching.
It would be great if it could recognise the damage and then find something nearby which it could attach to 'fix' itself. Like a leg goes missing, so it finds a twig and attaches it to itself to keep going. Or if it starts raining and it needs shelter, it finds some kind of sheet or portable cover and attaches itself.

I'm not sure I want to know what's in my neighbours refrigerator, the dude is well over 300lbs, so there must be some pure lard in there somewhere.
Do you refrigerate lard? I don't know. Either way I don't want to know what he eats, it makes me shudder thinking about that.

They found on the way that by using a nanosecond laser they produced Emo metal, which can cut itself.

This year I'll be sending out christmas cards in XML and then placing a large banner outside my house with the appropriate schema.
//recipient[@name='mum']
Then with every following year, I'll be sending a stylesheet card which they can apply to the original XML.
And if they need to locate their names on the card, they can use
I subscribe to the Jan Hammer school of Sugar composing. The 80's have never been so alive.
The Casio is interchangable with a Keytar.
Save the chairs!
1. Buy 2 kilos of sugar and a hand-held Casio keyboard.
2. Eat sugar
3. Compose like your hands are on fire.
You need enough sugar floating around so that if you ever take a PET Scan, your brain would show up a sort of platinum white colour on the screen.
