I nearly wet myself laughing the first time I used that BBC emulator and 
it provided authentic disc noises. That's such a cute feature!

If I added up the time spent coding with the income generated, I'd cry. 
At least I write all that stuff "for fun" (I have a strange sense of 
fun, but somehow I think writing a naff script language is more 
interesting than having a pint at the Crash&Burn pub).

Ugh.

I'd probably love my daughter to bits even if she was the antichrist... 
but I don't have any children and right now my paternal instinct rates 
about zero. On my b.log I say I'd like her to arrive around 5ish and go 
away before 13-14ish (in other words after she can talk and before the 
attitude). :-)

I'll go back and think later on.


Best wishes,

Rick.
