Well we are still obviously having a few teething problems with the upgrades. Stick with us, kids - we'll have it sorted soon (hopefully!).

Like ten-minute previews, two variants of "Greetings, Unknown Hiker" and being throwninto Alibaster, but with frames so you didn't see anything? I didn't notice.

"I manahed to force the display to brunel as the framed Alabaster missed some postings 
Anyway, like 'Paully' says, we will get used to it.
(Forgot to refill the water bottle for the hamsters?)"

Tragically, the guinea pigs are having to use up their leave allowance at the moment. We've got some Temp stoats in their place.

Listen... I have a spare 
at the moment, so if you would like me to package him up and send him down, I can do that with pleasure.
He's going blind so he might bump into a few table legs, but I'm sure he will be a scream in the Ivory Towers! 
ps....Alabaster is a disaster!! Please bring back brunel!!

*waits nervously for the cry of BLUE IS GOO*
I prefer plain at work, it looks less like surfing and more like a legitimate use of company time and resources
Seems to be settling now.

Alabaster!! It is the only true screen, the rest of you are just strange deviants (this much we know already 
)

Goo - the original, and still the best.
