Hello all. *munches his way in*
*munch*
*munch*

Yes, the Australian poster's a bit poo, and feel somewhat ashamed if that's going to be the wide-spread international version.

Not that I didn't 'like' this movie or its much-better original Pitch Black, but the poster gives off a 'Chronicles of Riddick' kind of whiff... if you get my meaning. Some contrived, lame, epic adventure (which Firefly/Serenity certainly is not) produced to amateurish results, with hot chicks and leather-clad neo-bikers, and sci-fi fantasy blades... and no visible plot.

Oh, and while we're slightly on the randomness of food (when are we not?!), what is everyone's staple food that they could live off for a week or two?
Mine answer is simple: This delicious bowl of Blue Dragon 3-minute noodles, Chicken flavour with chili bits (find 'em in your nearest Tesco). Mmmmm mmmmm! I'm sure this brand has just as many E values in it, but it's the only quick-noodle food I've found that actually tastes 'natural' and scrumptuous. Unlike those big, disgusting Pot Noodle varieties.

Sorry Fray-I wasn't wearing my Fray shirt because I'd worn it on Friday and I got the hug on Monday. I was wearing my Jayne hat, though. Not that that means much to you. Sorry dear! Wish someone got a pic of it, but I don't think anyone did.

Ah yes, I was reading your other post about confusing Goths with the Jayne hat - nice work! Sounds like everyone had a great time.

And yes, thumbs up for noodles. Were certainly a great source of comfort at uni!

Fray:
What type of printer is it? Make and model?
Combined scanner/printer sounds like an Epson? CX3600?

Does it start actually printing, or does it only start sending the data?

Try restarting the print spooler:
Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services
Then scroll down to "Print Spooler" and hit the "restart" link on the left.

Hi all, btw...

Hmmm.... bearing in mind that it's all clearly a bit of a comedy moment, are we sure it's him?

I think it is... and he's really lost weight!

Why does it sound like you're assuming something bad has happened to him for that to happen?

I didn't see the comedy - maybe I missed something (well, it was funny when Bryan Singer messed up the set but that's a different matter). I'd seen photos of Peter Jackson on the King Kong set and was stunned by the weight loss, then again when I saw the trailer. But in this video, he just looks ill. Obviously he's shattered by the shoot, fair enough - but I don't know...

Hey, if they're just messing around then the jokes on me. But I was shocked when I watched that. He looks a wreck. Well done on the weight loss and all but he doesn't exactly look healthy, does he?

And Sean - nah, doesn't even start printing. Thanks for the advice though.

A lot of it is comedic, but maybe not all of it. Like the "suddenly he's asleep" thing. I'm sure he really is tired though.

I think the fact that he looks 'suddenly' so thin looks worrying, but he's probably okay. Maybe all the dieting/exercise/whatever has left him more tired?

I remember when my dad lost a lot of weight. He noticed people acted a a tiny bit oddly around him for ages, till he (inevitably) put it all back on again. Then he found out that everyone had thought he was horribly ill!

Why can't those of us who want to lose a lot weight do it?!

Right, couple of things:

IT Query Number 500: I ask this because my Mother is driving me mad moaning about it - she's got a wireless enabled laptop. And yes it connects to the internet, no probs there. BUT...each time she turns the laptop on, she has to reenable the wireless connection, it doesn't connect automatically. Now let's be honest, it only takes about 10 seconds to reestablish the connection but apparently this is the greatest inconvenience in the world (jeez woman, remember dial-up?!) Answers on a postcard to the usual address.

Right - something for you boys (as a thank you for your IT help!). Have just uploaded a couple of pix from Dragon Con to the Photo Verse. Take a look at the photo of Jewel - pretty, ain't she? Now look at it again...
