Carved TMO on her clit just to make you feel bad

I walked through Waterstones on the way back from my utterly stultifying meeting and accidentally bought a book, in passing. This is not particularly relevent, but I thought I'd mention it.

I resist the lure of the three for two, though. Well, I did in Waterstones. I didn't in Marks and Spencers, where I purchased three utilitarian tshirts for £10.

There should be a Friday thread for this sort of burbling banality. Where's Gemini when you need her?

They sent me a quite a nice letter saying they'd really enjoyed it and found it totally original, but that it didn't fit with their line up. I shelved it in a fit of complete disgust for a good few months after that, and worked on No. 2 for a bit. Recently I took down the old one, rejiggered it for the umpteenth time and have started whoring it out again while I work on the second. I dunno. I'm not all that impressed with the first one anymore. It has its moments, but I'm kind of sick to death of the c**t. In a way, I'll be a bit pissed off if I'm put in a situation where I have to do yet more drafts because I never want to look at it again, ever.

The only new book I've tried to buy recently is "Microsoft Sharepoint 2007 Development Unleashed", which I needed urgently at work about three weeks ago.

We have former posters Pan and Gemini leading to Pan moments and Gemini moments.
We have Harley who is neither solely former nor wholly current, but who nonetheless is somehow 'of himself'; leading to Harley moments which add, in their own small way, somewhat amusing commentaries to the tmo mix.
Do we now have Grissom moments?
I would like Grissom to be a former poster and not merely a character from CSI. Please tell me there was a former poster called Grissom.

There was. Grissom was a Japanese student or something. I think he's a politician now. You can see him on youtube I think. I'll see if I can find him.

Sorry. You wanted it so badly, I had to make something up.

I’m sorry, Sam, there was never a poster called Grissom on TMO. That Japanse revolutionary thing; that was working for us. You should have run with that one and everyone would be happy but, you had to fuck it up by asking questions.

Sometimes you are too enigmatic for me, oh funny loony one with the scary avatar. Do you mean vinegar tits as in a cryptic reference to PAN or are you suggesting I have vinegar tits?
Let me tell you, milk would be proud to come from my tits. It would be manna from mount olympus after flowing from my tits. my tits rock.
Except they are softer.

That's all very well, mart, quoting his stuff but, well, do you know how we can hope to get the truth and deep non-engaged analysis of problems from them.

[Geek Chate] How do you find Sharepoint for developing with? Just wondering because it seems there's a good chance I might be having to interface our Data Warehouse web presence with it at some point in the future. Probably not for a while yet though since we've yet to create the new version of the web presence, or decide which reporting layer product we're using for that matter, stupid IT-fearing Microsoft-dryhumping upper management types..[/Geek Chate]

Weird. I was sure I'd posted a reply before. Well...

Well, I haven't done much more than rebrand a basic Sharepoint site so far. Haven't created any new "web parts" and that sort of thing.
It was a pain in the arse to track down the right files for editing, but once I'd sort of hacked my way around the thing it was pretty straightforward. You do need a reasonable grasp of the .NET framework, ideally.
My main problem has been finding decent documentation, which is why I was looking forward to reading that book, but it seems it's not due out till June now, along with another book on the same subject by Wrox. Might be a bit late, but I've left it on order anyway, just in case it comes in useful another time.

Cool, thanks dude, hopefully by the time I need to start developing it (next year at least at this rate) there might be a bit more documentation and other resources about..

saw El Topo on friday. I preferred it to The Holy Mountain. I still couldn't really get a grip on it, but it felt more fluid because it was at least set around the same location, and the overall story about the gunman worked most of the time. Even better than the film though was Jodorowski in conversation afterwards. An inspirational man. I came out of El Topo saying that I probably wouldn't watch another one of his films, but after the conversation, I'm really looking forward to checking out Santa Sangre.
Other films I watched last week: Death Line (superb london underground horror flick) and Psychomania (bizarre occult biker romp).

Just finished The Tortilla Curtain by T.C Boyle. A meticulously constructed tale dealing with immigration and the huge financial divide of Los Angeles in the nineties. The storyline thunders along relentlessly, the characters are very easy to become emotionally attached to on both sides of the 'immigration issue' at hand, and the climax is both sad and heart-rending. A cracking read.
Eight Tortillas out of ten.
Keep meaning to start How Mumbo Jumbo Conquered The World, which I will, along with Will Self's Cock and Bull, which I bought fucking ages ago.
