If you use Eclipse Networking of Exeter as an ISP and ebay, pictishbadgerdesign, tarantellaserpentine, cecimoz and libeljournal are in your address-book, then I'm talking to you.
This is one case, though, to keep in mind that Eclipse do in fact change the IP with every DHCP lease (daily on DSL, two-hourly on dialup). Some people apparently get semi-stable DSL IPs, but we certainly didn't see one.
I fear so. I refer the hon. gentleman to the timeless words of one Myxamatosis Jones (which ought to be a thing in 200AD in a sensible world) when he alleged that 'The internet is filled with useless gossipy backstabbing bastards.'
As the Bard of Woking noted 'What you give is what you get.'
Thus my internet experience is filled with lovely people and LJ is a handy social tool.
(This should be a post in its own right, if only so it can turn around and bite me in the arse.)
All the messages had the same originating IP. Which I understand (via out-of-band) is offline for a bit of a clean.
On TW, I had the same IP for, like, ever. Until I changed firewalls ($ork were pitching out PIII boxes. Say what you like about the recent kit, but the boating models (as opposed to the cricket versions) are built like wee tanks) over the weekend.
Oh, I like the recent HP kit. 'Cos it's Compaq, as in heavy DEC influence! The PIII-era HP boxes ... I've gone a few rounds with them. Damnear got my finger ringbarked by one. And it wasn't even SCSI.
Correspondingly theres a queue of shiftless loafers trying to give me stuff based on some qaint understanding that my basic philosophy of life is one other than the one that at best shouts at them very loudly, and at worst stabs them in all their sensory organs.
Excuse this clumsy method of communication, but I'm bumbling round other people's journals offering free music to certain elite individuals at the moment! Basicaly, we at Psychophile have just finished Vodka Milk, and I know you review stuff for magazines and things, and wondered if you wanted a copy? And also because you and Pat have always been supportive and stuff and deserve a freebie anyway. If you do, get in touch with me on band @ psychophile.co.uk
