The office intarweb connection is positively arthritic today. Someone must have tried e-mailing the Encyclopaedia Britannica and inevitably it got wedged in the server.

It’s times like this that I hanker for times past, before we had an outside connection (only 10 years ago); we knew no better and things like endlessly failing connections and limited access were of no importance. As it is, it’s like looking at the world through very dark glasses.

That said, there are signs that the Encyclopaedia Britannica may have passed through the system like the biggest log on the planet. The server shows signs of life, Boris, signs of life!

It lives! It lives!

As you were, everybody.

This sort of entry is what happens when circumstances change halfway through typing it up.

Was Igor late in watering the computer's brains today?

I thought slow servers were just an extension of the rest of the C Service?

On point a) I suspect you may be right.

On point b) see icon. Cheeky sod.

I was referring to the bureaucracy and indolence of the Mandarins, not to mention the interference of headline addicted MPs.
It wasn't a dig at the stalwarts courageously fighting against the odds.

Honest.

Nice icon btw - where do you get them from?

I think I got it from mimi_soleil (or similar) who does loads of icons. I suppose I ought to add a credit accordingly. I nabbed loads, nearly all my animated icons are from there.

Hmmm, very impressive stuff.

I may have to track these down

Close,

Just went and tracked them down:

And I think I may have to 'acquire' some of these.

My thanks for the heads up

It's nice to see that someone knows how to spell encyclip- encyclope- that word correctly.
