I have been known to stick a little dragon from one of the emoticon sites into my chat posts. What follows is sort of a nerd thing. I have been in a job hunt for some time now, having only found part time work. I peruse the job boards, network, etc.. Quite often you must include a text version of your resume in emails to prospective employers. I got tired of bringing up the text version of my resume in notepad, seleting it, copying it, and pasting it into an email. So, being a nerd I wrote a little program in PERL to push my resume onto the clipboard alowing me to put it into an email with a simple paste. I put an icon on my desk top that would execute the program whenever I double clicked it. A while ago, I realized that the little program could be used to do the same thing with your favorite gif. So, here goes: #!/perl/bin/perl # Put dino url on the clip board # use Win32::Clipboard; use strict; my $CLIP=Win32::Clipboard(); my $file="c:\\MyDocuments\\dinourl.txt"; open (DINO,$file) || die "Failed to open $file\n"; my $dinourl=""; while (

*contains film spoilers* I was watching 'Out of Gas' (my favourite episode) again tonight, and a line I hadn't noticed stood out a bit after watching the film: When Zoe is lying in the infirmary, and Kaylee is watching through the window, Mal comes out, and Kaylee says 'she's not moving... Serenity's not moving'. For the first bit of the phrase, you're not sure if she'd talking about Zoe or Serenity. I noticed in the film the same thing happens - right at the end, Mal and Zoe are talking, and he asks 'think she'll hold together?', and Zoe says something like she reckons she will... but the implication is that Mal is talking about Zoe as well as Serenity. Just thought it was interesting, that link between Zoe and the ship, when often it's Kaylee or Mal or Wash you think of as having the strongest link to it. Also, and more personally, I was talking with MyWash, who still hasn't quite figured out the internet and has no idea what my alias is on here, about his favourite female character on the show, and Zoe was last on his list! Kaylee was first. Still, maybe it was my stunning resemblance to Zoe that threw him. And I just noticed I've been signed up here nearly a year now... first signed up because I had The Worst Job In The World Ever (I think they had patented that phrase actually), which involved long periods of sitting in front of a computer with nothing to do. Since then, I've been really ill, which contributed (along with the Worst-ness) to giving up that job, I moved house to a new town, started a new job (which was great) - and now I'm moving again. This time, though, it's not to a city I don't know, but back real close to where I grew up, right up in the north of the country! I'm so happy. And it's for such good job reasons too. I'll be watching Serenity on the most northerly cinema screen in the country. A Serene year.

I kept telling myself not to but I finally did...I went and looked at the song titles off the Serenity soundtrack. Now it’s entirely possible that this has been mentioned before seeing as I waited so long to do this but the title of the last song on the CD as the letters: F-U-N-E-R-A-L in succession... I had a tiny panic attack at the sight of these letters and hyperventilated for at least 5 minutes...:knife: Once I had regained my oxygen supply, I began to think........WHAT COULD THIS MEAN???!?!?!? 1. Does someone die in our BDM? 2. Are we speaking hypothetically or literally? 3. [b]If someone does die who is it?!?![/b] If some one has any thoughts on this please respond!!!!! I am extremely stressed out!!! Again, this may have been brought up before..... sorry:biggrin: :hanged: oh dear....
