“Gee Mister President… would like like me to leave my signals on… or off? on… or off? on… or off?”

“Just git’ out of the car, Barbara!”

Speaking of the odd things that Knightwise does in the car… where the heck is the next Knightcast, eh!?

J

At least we know Knightwise uses his turn signals.

Great show gan.

@ Dave – was it your dog i heard whinging during the show? Im sure i hear a few “oi look at me, im a dog, give me a pat” noises.

Re XP, i use XP and am yet to migrate to Vista, although im getting a new laptop for my wife with Vista, so here goes. 99% of our work computers also run XP so im unsure why, apart from profit, would microsoft can it.

I have major issues with the latest version of office, that is, wtf were they thinking, i have lost so much productivity trying to write new macros to do basic tasks, and when i do, they still don’t work. How hard does it have to be to freaking paste unformated text. It works fine as long as its not in a macro. Idiots.

That will do now, keep up the good work.

@keith : How in FRACKS NAME do you LOSE an ipod touch ! Its not like its a nano.

@Dave : you keep talking about your extension, you do mean an extension to your house right ? Not to some bodypart that desperately needs it .. There are little blue pills for that.

And the Big Trak too! Holy crud! Memories flooding back! I knew someone who had a Big Trak and I would always play with it whenever I went to see them.

The Big Trak always reminded me of that TV show that was out around the same time where this team of scientists where tooling around on a planet somewhere in this pimped out Winnebago-type vehicle that always pulled a trailer. What the heck was the name of that show? (Quickly searching Google…) Ark II! That was it!!

That was a happening show…

@Keith: My laptop comment wasn’t about the eeePC, it was about the “cheap” laptops that places like FutureShop are selling for about $600 that are way underpowered and yet ship with Vista. I wouldn’t mind having an eeePC, actually, they do the job that they’re advertised to do and they do it quite well.

Man…now I’m trying to remember all the cool toys that I used to want when I was a kid. I always got Lego when I was a kid and I ended up building my own cool toys out of that.

Please keep your swearing to “frakkin” or “fraggin”. Thanks.

@Knotwise: Knot=twisted -wise=ish
Bah, I think Dr. Evil has tried to cleaverly disguise himself.

@Herne: The EEE isn’t intended to be a primary machine. You need to have data “in the cloud” or on a portable device (like an 8GB USB stick) so that it’s accessible.

@Cait: D/L’d that game last night

@Knotwise: Did you EVER listen to the show? Geez…

@Burritoe: Thanks for the props on dealing with the timezone… unfortunately, for this week’s show I wasn’t quite as successful (as I’m sure Dave will point out)

Ah, I’m a gadget junky, I admit it. I don’t NEED the eee, but I want one anyway…

My first programmable device was the Big Trak.

I still have the center wheels and tranmission in box somewhere from it. Allways meant to get……oh man.
I remember as kid trying to build a program with it to hit all the hiding places our cat would hide and fire its lazer cannon……poor sugar.

The website looks dodgy, but I first bought this off a promo diskette, via snail mail! Simple and fun.

@Travis I’ve been swearing a lot this week and while I’d love to blame jjprojects, I’m really just an Aussie who swears sometimes, mostly when I get fired up

@Matt thanks

@blogslut I don’t think that science slut was a direct reference to me, but I am a bit of a science nut for some subjects, rockets and robots mostly. I read New Scientist and Technology Review (when I can get my bloody hands on TR here in Oz anyway). Re: buying music, that was Keith who compared, I refuse to buy music of any kind until the whole industry changes. They need us more than we need them.
