Why would opening an e-card crash your computer?

I think you need 'flash' something or other to see it. Oh, well, sorry about that.

Az (used a cap cos it's the beginning of a sentence - have an excuse), I have Flash. If I didn't have Flash, I'd...well, I'd be cyber-dead. I'll try looking again tomorrow. I think it crashed because of an over strain of system resources.
(My brain hurts. This is because I mentioned to RDO briefly an idea I had about writing a computer simulation of how an anarchy would work, that takes into accounts ALL sociological and psychological and economical, etc, factors, and I've decided to give it a go. So far I'm trying to account for all the above factors. I've only got a few dozen.
F*ck. I just deleted them accidentally.)

oh, well, I didn't have Flash on my old computer.

Good luck with your programme. Sounds very complicated.

Hey there! Do you not want to be part of the gallery? I'll understand if you don't, though you are most welcome!

Hope to see you there! I do have the one photo you gave me and can use that one if you like. Or another of your choosing. Or none.

Up to you.

az

Of course I don't mind; however, I don't have any more pictures yet, so that one I sent you'll have to do, I'm afraid.

az

Let me know if you want a caption under it.

"Here be fools".
Nah, it's okay. Thanks anyway.

So, what's new with you, dude? The big news here is that Noggin has moved to Seville and we have decided to commit to a year together to see if he can find work and build a life for himself. I can say without a doubt that this has been *very* interesting and more than somewhat challenging, for both of us. And also that we are very happy together.

I see that you are considering university options. Any news on that? What course are you planning to do?

Noggin says that you have the makings of a fine philosopher, if that helps.


az

Hey, az, nice to hear from ya!
That's great news! Together, as in "together" together?

I applied to a more-or-less random selection of universities, to do Philosophy and English, which I'm very much looking forward to. And hoping I'll get decent grades.

Tell him thank you, I hope so. It's nice to hear from Grandpaw Noggin now and again...

Yeah, "together" together . . .

We now need to get a router thingy sorted so that he can use his laptop online at the same time I'm using my computer.

Meanwhile, I think he is quite enjoying the weather here . . .


az

You go, grrl. Wow!
That's bigger than any of my news by far. Anything else happening along the sidelines?

Anything else??? Well, hard to beat the thing about Noggin and I actually living together, to be honest. Perhaps I'm just as surprised about this as you are . . . well, perhaps not. But you know what I mean. It certainly was nothing 'expected' - it just happened.

Today we finally got the 'router' thing sorted so both of us can be online at the same time. It's quite fun. Noggin bought a very sexy new laptop for himself when he first moved here but it's taken until now to set up the 'dual-usage' thingy.

Anyhow, what's new with you? Haven't heard a peep out of you for ages!

Fighting with my parents about gap years, and losing. Existentialist, angsty torturings. Friends drifting apart. Random depression. Laziness and chastisement in school. Pretty much normal me/teenagery things, really...
