That sounds like a great book, CLIFF! :D It sounds familiar, but I don't think I've read it.

It's hilarious. It's not set in Discworld like most of Pratchett's books, but it's all about the apocalypse in a sort of urban-fantasy Earth. I would definitely recommend it. :)

It's one of only a handful of adult books that I've ever read in a single day.

Evening AC. :)

I have a question for you that isn't worth starting a thread in Tech Help about.

Does extra RAM increase the speed at which you can transfer files?

I just backed up some of my files onto my external hard drive, and it seemed to go a lot quicker than last time I did so... Those file names were flying by phenomenally fast! (I installed more RAM yesterday, if you recall. :))

Yes, it would. Also, things like scans will run faster.

I wish I were there when you were digging. I'd go and hide a Star Wars action figure about 12" down.

:roll:

Talking of Pratchett, in one story he has an angry planetary 'terra-former' throw his Rolex down while creating the Pleistocene layer. "Well, that will give some future archaeologist a few sleepless nights."

I guess DragonSpeak is even nosier than Facebook.

:eek: Does it poke one, too?


:D

Oh, and just so's you know. I am eating Christmas mince pies - as we speak. Crumbs all over the keyboard but, oooo, so nice. :)

Facebook likes to ask for your e-mail password and phone numbers (for your convenience and security, you understand).

Yep. And then it sends me an email to say that 'someone' mentioned me in a comment.

So I go check it out. And sure enough, someone did mention me in a comment.

Does this mean we can trust fb?

:roll:

Good morning, house of the Facebook overlords!

Probably, at first AC. I guess it has to learn my speech patterns and frequently used words. It is weird, when I downloaded it asked to view all of my documents to try and learn how I use words...

:eek: My WIP taught Dragon a few words it didn't already know. ::cough::

Good morning, AWers that live on the east coast. This is a more reasonable waking point.

Half the time I want to delete my Facebook because, well....

Good very early morning, house of early morning...

I did go to bed eventually last night, but I had a rough night. Last time I saw the clock it was 2:40 am. I was like a zombie all day. So I came home and had to go to bed. Woke up at midnight. And now I'm still up at 4 am. Oh well. I am off tomorrow, so that is good.

Eastern time zone reporting for morning duty. We've been up since four, since we had to shovel out in time for our second attempt to get our son's girlfriend home for her parents' anniversary party. The flight's still showing only that it's left the gate, not that it's in the air, but that's much further than it got yesterday. I'm hopeful.

Maryn, who got in a good workout by 5:30 a.m.

Good morning everyone! "Good Omens" is an excellent, excellent novel. Sir Terry and Neil are a brilliant writing match.

That's better than 21 notifications, all alleycat and Haggis teasing me about being a vegan. :D

Good morning frosty funners. :D
I'm trying to figure out how not to behave today. It's over rated.

Seasons Eatings?

I never thought I'd evah say this, but I'm sick of all the holiday cakes, cookies and candy.

Should I freeze it and pull it outta the freezer when I throw our Annual Superbowl Party?
