All I can say, is that I wish I were a fucking narcissist. What a time I have had...

Thanks.

In short I had my hair cut off recently and when I waded back into college somehow I ended up the total centre of attention, which was rather amusing...

No long & curly hair, then?

Nope. It was getting really out of hand, so I gave up on it. Most people seem to like it, though my long hair has been a real mess of recent months.

Funny, I don't see an inconsistency.

Maybe I'm still trying too hard to plunge for a result.

Thinking of making a complete backup of the server. Unfortunately that means I have to put the board in maintenance mode so I guess tonight's not a very good idea.

And I suppose I have to wait until I have the new pooter up and running.

Is it possible to retrieve my files from my laptop?

 

When my old computer died, the guy at the computer repair place said that he could retrieve my old files from the hard drive for about $80, even though the computer would not even boot up.  He couldn't fix the computer, though.

I'm thinking about getting a blue tooth headset for my iPAQ, so that I can record the sounds of whatever's going on around me; particularly what people say to me.  I've tried doing that with the iPAQ's built in mic, but the the recordings are unusable because of all the noise from the iPAQ rubbing against the inside of my pocket and because the sounds are muffled by my clothing, so I thought that a headset would solve that problem by mounting the mic in the open air where it wouldn't rub on things.  I don't know whether I should get a headset with a noise-cancelling mic that's advertised as reducing background noise, or whether I should go for one that doesn't do that; I don't want recordings to be drowned out by lots of white noise from the wind blowing on the mic or from nearby traffic, but I do want it to pick up anything people around me are saying, and I'm not sure what effect a noise cancelling mic would have.  Anyone have any ideas?

The noise cancel thing would do just that--cancel noise, including those conversations. Record what you want to record, as is, then upload it and use software to filter out the stuff you don't want. That way you have a choice AND an original recording if things go wrong.
