OK, so it's not Friday, but then sometimes it won't be- but I will aim for Thursday evening to Saturday evening. It's not quite NTK levels of punctuality, but then I don't get paid to write for the Sunday Times either. The Boot Camp / Girltalk thread covered chefs, window shopping, boots, music, and tea before mutating into the (void) favourite, The Great Meat Debate. Aaron talked about vegetarian eating in London and Cornwall, Chris praised spicy meat-free food from the subtropics, Alex Robinson provided a book about food, and Simon wondered if we'd eat our dad. I'm sorry, I'll read that again. http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010219/033242.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010219/033290.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033588.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033535.html The this london thread mutated into talk about adverts courtesy of Arp, who also channeled a UKNM thread on banner ads to (void) where it recieved short shrift, especially a potential T-shirt slogan from Dave Cross. Meanwhile there was more infojism from the man Robinson. http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010219/033258.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-200103-2/033809.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-200103-2/033814.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010219/033283.html Mike Moran brought up a topic that flitted on and off during the week, namely job hunting, interviews and CVs. Lots of good questions came from Mike Jarvis, Rob Partington and others, although William Wilson wondered if you could ask about finance; Simon came back to that one quite well. The subject of bad questions came up too, thanks to Todd Larason. http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010219/033341.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010219/033342.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010219/033362.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010219/033353.html Simon Wistow and Ashley batted a conversation on video games sparked by Celia's mention of the Feed series on video games (see below). Simon worried about the lack of good commentary on games, Arp compared games to prog and (void) fave Vib Ribbon and maracatastic Samba des Amigos came up. Matt talked about crap support for Battlecruiser 3000AD. Maybe (void) will go to the arcades. Ashley parodied Colin Mcrae. http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033403.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033422.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033512.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033425.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033427.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033688.html Dreams made a showing this week; Arp gave birth, Chris Heathcote went to work, Simon dreamt about us, Richard thought the snow may have been dreamt, but it wasn't, cos I was there too. http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033393.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033430.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033432.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033400.html Daynal posted some pictures, as did Chris, but the thread somehow turned into a thread on editors. There was also a thread on PC optimisation. People like Notepad, it seems, but some people like gvim or Write instead. Then there was a thread on emacs move commands, but I don't use emacs so it's all over my head... http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033643.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033714.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033699.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-20010226/033705.html http://slab.org/mailman/private/void/Week-of-Mon-200103-2/033758.html Clive ranted. But I liked it, so it's here.
