Things in #speccy are just becoming too hilarious for words…. yesterday:-

(Lister) shit, my CDR smells like there’s burning coming from it

Aww, poor Lister. He burned his CDRW drive out. That’s a shame. Well, it would be, until I joined today, and noticed this:-

*** Topic is ‘(Lister) is it bad to disconnect IDE cables when a computer is on?’
*** Set by szn on Mon Feb 18 17:47:13.

What a corker. In fact, it’s such a corker, I’ve decided to mark it with a special occasion. Say hello to Lister the official mascot of this webpage, and the webcam.

Well, you see, he’s been hanging around my bedroom for nigh on ten years, and I never gave him a name, now seems a good a time as ever, before I get bored with him looking down on me, or he falls behind my desk as I drunkenly knock him off the monitor. Below his right foot is also the remnants of a 128Mb RAM module, which I spectacularly fried while trying to upgrade the linux box about a month ago.I reckon it looks pretty neat… rather like a battle scar or something. Erm.
