The scrap heap:

Picture quality is crap, but the webcam isn’t even supposed to work with Macs anyway, and the driver I’m using is alpha-quality software.

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of death I will fear no evil, for I am the evilest motherfucker in the valley.”
“Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology. Where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thought is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people. With one will. One resolve. One cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death. And we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!”

Yeah, pulled this made-up quote out of my arse last night:
“I don’t live my life, I endure my existence.”
It’s not some well-known quote. I’ve never heard anyone say it before, nor have I read it anywhere… just pulled it out of my arse. I like it. It’s very… true.
Oh, and I lost my passport and my mum’s benefits book yesterday. I’m gonna run to Green Street Green (near Orpington) to see if I can get them back from the bus company. :P

I love this song.
Track: Just
Artist: Radiohead
Album: The Bends
Can’t get the stink off
He’s been hanging around for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you but not your friends
One day he’ll get to you
Teach you how to be a holy cow
You do it to yourself you do
And that’s what really hurts is
You do it to yourself just you
You and no-one else
You do it to yourself
Don’t get my sympathy hanging out the 15th floor
You’ve changed the locks 3 times
He still comes reeling through the door
And soon he’ll get to you
Teach you how to get to purest hell
You do it to yourself you do
And that’s what really hurts is
You do it to yourself just you
You and no-one else
You do it to yourself

When you try to log in as “woot” instead of “root”, either you’re overexcited about something or you’ve been brainwashed by Elmer Fudd.
