What is on your monitor?

**CyberSurfer** · Apr 17th, 2001, 09:18 AM

I have an assortment of blu-tack models...

**SurfDemon** · Apr 17th, 2001, 09:22 AM

A precariously balanced cup of water..... mmm.

Actually a small mountain of belly button fluff. I'm saving up enough to knit a jumper for the winter.

With some Tippex (white-out) and a pen you could modify that to

"For Official classi User Only"

How do you feel about defacing government property?

As you can tell by the fact that I'm in here chatting that I don't pay a lot of attention to the rules.....unless you consider that I'm spreading good will towards America....oh wait...you all hate us anyway so that's not it......let's face it I just have a blatant disregard for authority

**parksie** · Apr 17th, 2001, 03:12 PM

Authority? What's that?

lord_dude · Apr 17th, 2001, 07:32 PM

On my old computer i have a wingmirror which i thought was quite cool coz i got sick of people just walking up behind me and standing there watching me, where as with a mirror, u can stare back

. Its not a car one, you can get special monitor wingmirrors.

**chrisjk** · Apr 17th, 2001, 07:41 PM

Various editions of Sunday Sport and Hustler...oh wait...what's on my monitor? Well, let me see...mmm..."Vision Master Pro". And a post-it with a new phone numbers

chenko · Apr 18th, 2001, 03:05 AM

Where did my post go??

Well I have loads of PostIT notes, which dont even remind me one thing

and loads of charts and graphs which are no use to me any more (they just look cool

)

**Arbiter** · Apr 18th, 2001, 03:06 AM

A plaque with my name on (currently says 'Charlotte').

A prayer for the stressed.

More post-its than you can shake a stick at.

A note reminding me to read my post-its.

A few spatterings of blood.

A polo mint that someone blutacked there.

A 320lb maternally outraged gorrilla. Oh, wait. That's not true.

A small stuffed toy of the sesame street character 'The Grouch' (me - apparently) with a parasol embedded in its arm.

ricmitch_uk · Apr 18th, 2001, 03:57 AM

Hehe. Prayer for the stressed kicks ass

. Post it. Please.

**Paul Warren** · Apr 18th, 2001, 04:11 AM

Kate, following on from sd's suggestion you could change that to "For Official ass User Only". hehe

**Geoff Gunson** · Apr 18th, 2001, 04:13 AM

Also, I was sent ages ago the beer prayer which is very funny,but I have lost it (damn auto-archive!) so if anyone has it could they post that too?

It starts like....

Art Stella
Who are in barrels

Cheers

**Geoff Gunson** · Apr 18th, 2001, 06:03 AM

ah Ha found it

Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk),
At home as it is in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillage,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer, the bitter, and the lager.
Barmen.

TTFN

Believe it or not we try to drink Bodingtons, Kilkenny, Caffreys, Guinness, Tetleys etc.

If we have to drink weak Canadiab beer then we usually go for Traditional or some such. But it's almost impossible to get drunk on.

What I really miss is Belhaven Best. I haven't found any out here yet.

Whats after shock & abscence?

Katie - combined with you having to remove your hard disk every evening ( and possibly eat it if security was compromised ) I thought that you would enjoy this

The Spy Who Lost Me

**barrk** · Apr 18th, 2001, 10:18 AM

Hehehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!

**Warmaster199** · Apr 18th, 2001, 04:29 PM

Hmmm... let's see...

*rubs finger ontop of monitor*

Lots of dust.

And cat hair

We don't usually dust up there and my cat loves to sit up there to A)avoid my sister.

OR B)watch me programming or do whatever.

What model of chip is it?
ei. 27C256 That's a 32KByte EPROM

**Kzin** · Apr 18th, 2001, 05:48 PM

a digital camera for taking pictures of any muntjac that might pass by
true

(not a web cam - that is face down on the floor for some reason)

Thinking about it this is probably not a good place for a camera so now there is only dust.

Here is what is says on the chip

AMIBIOS

AMERICAN MEGATRENDS
386DX ISA BIOS (C) 1992
AA1217399

Dreamlax · Apr 19th, 2001, 05:36 AM

Gee, if this post didn't make me look up there, I would've never found my hackysack.

Thanks Geoff!

chenko · Apr 19th, 2001, 05:48 AM

hehe.........just found a few floopy disks and cds blu-tac'd to the back of my monitor!

Hmmm... probably a 27C512(64KByte), but I had a 386 with a 27C0010(128KByte). If you take of the sticker, you'll see a window to the chip, and it's actual serial number. Don't take off the sticker, as it may destroy the sticker and erase the contents of the EPROM(ie. no more BIOS code).

Hmmm... Now I got more cat hair on top of my monitor, funny cat...
