is it a kind of dream?

Oh Cripes is David sexy in Roman getup.

This is more like an edu-docu-drama thing, but David played Pulcher very convincingly opposite a young and naive Tiberius.

And he still has his skinny arms. And i still want to eat him alive, 65 or not.

I may make icons, after I upgrade my linux to Mandriva2007 Spring edition.

*thud* Who'd have thought I'd have found Roman getup so ... outrageously sexy?

What a lot of hard work. I should have followed my instincts and done a full install from scratch, but no, i chose to upgrade.

2 hours later, everything was a mess. It was booting, but not loading the new 2007.1 kernel, and it was bombing out on several things in the course of bootup, weird error messages, all sorts.

I had to format hda1 and install from scratch, which took only 30 minutes the second time! It took less than 5 minutes to get my wifi working, which is a bleedin miracle, and voila.

Lots of things are now specific to this release, so i can urpmi most everything i've ever used. Last things i have to get working are some browser plugins, re-do my bookmarks as I lost them all, finish tinkering round with thunderbird getting the junk mail controls working, and getting Azureus. And i'm done! :D

Worth it, yes. So many new customisations and the whole thing runs as smooth as a baby's arse. Wow and a half. :D

Bite me, Bill Gates.

now that I have all but one program working on my pc now, and am happy with the upgrade (firefox and thunderbird are behaving better than usual, actually, and azureus and emule are doing their job, once i disabled the 3 firewalls that were bizarrely installed !!), I've had a few minutes to look at a very special set of downloads that finished overnight.

Sapphire and Steel Assignments 3 and 6 completed overnight. I LOVE them all.

( Cut to spare the f-list my ravings... )

I really like the series. I like 4 or 6 parts, or even 8 parts. I LIKE the pace, the total lack of pressing fantastic action, and the COMPLETE AND STARK CONTRAST to New Who, who wants you to get emotionally invested and the whole problem solved in 45 minutes. PAH.

*headdesk* at Rusty, who needs to know what REAL TV is like - Rusty, sit down and watch some Sapphire and Steel to learn how to pace a tv show, eh?
