Neil Hopcroft

A digital misfit

No major casualties at saturday nights party, except for a little overenthusiasm with the packaging tape. Not enough food, and not organised enough to sort out what there was. The party bifurcated somewhat when someone found the source code for CP/M (admittedly a ROM based version, not disk based so the bootstrapping is somewhat different).

Depressing gender ratio, though, maybe I need to get out more, meet some charming young ladies who aren’t afraid of travelling to Surrey (do such creatures exist? Where would I find them?).

      I sense a way to get into a lot of trouble very quickly…

      …I’m sure you’re charming, but I could be more positive about that if I knew who you were…? (If you are who I think you are, you weren’t at my gathering on saturday)

    Sneaky little pic there. ;o)

    Sorry I couldn’t make it. My main reason got cancelled and my weekend was suddenly free but there would have been two more parties I could have gone to and in the end I didn’t go to any of them because I was tired and lazy. :o(
    At least the not doing anything recharged my batteries somewhat for the next month and a half of hecticness…

    Now I realise that not only are you a friend of Penny’s and Hester’s, but also of Pete Minusbat’s (he mentioned being at a party in Letchworth where there were no girls for him to chat up…) and that YOU are the Neil he met up with in Tokyo.

    It was nice to see you again at the weekend.

    Not enough food?

    Did the pizzas get eaten then? I thought there was loads of food and had a very pleasant time. :-)

    BTW, that’s a gloriously ghastly bit of Ugly Wood Art and I’ll stick a photo up on the site ASAP. :-)

      Re: Not enough food?

      Somehow got distracted before putting them in the oven…I sometimes wish I was a little more organised.
