@HPDemonSamurai She's so good... amazing body of work.

This was a great panel, you did great! Even without a PhD, perhaps we should get you to play Runequest...I hear there's a great one shot!!

Glasgow Worldcon
I'm doing a panel about tabletop roleplaying games this Friday 2:30.
Last time I did a TTRPG panel, I told Steve Jackson (not that one, that one) I've got lots of GURPS books but never actually played it. Which gaming titan will I offend this time?

On our way up to Glasgow for Worldcon (@Glasgowin2024) - looking forward to seeing so many people. Should be fun...

@BarbaraNadel Taking advantage of a period of hopefully temporary unemployment to immerse myself in books. And these were wonderful - I love the moments of the fantastical.

@mcookie123 @BarbaraNadel Mid-90s to present day...so a period of change.

[Martin G @storagebod]

Over the past three weeks, I've read all 26 of @BarbaraNadel's 'Turkish Detective ' series. What a great series of books, I've loved the cast of characters but I think reading the character of Istanbul and it's social changes has been so informative.

@davepaters They've been ignored for too long and don't have a way of changing things...checks diary, hmm... there was an election last month.

[Martin G @storagebod]

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret What impact will extending the franchise to 16 & 17 year olds have on the next election? And with turn-out so low, surely it is time for compulsory voting and perhaps move elections to Saturday??

@dracowie There's only going to be one winner....and that's fun!!

[Martin G @storagebod]

@RestIsPolitics Widdecombe and Dorries will give me nightmares!!

Merry Christmas to you all...

Just remember the true meaning of Christmas is the Baby Cheeses.

Part 1 of this week's gig marathon - Sophie Ellis Bextor tonight - and I'm not wearing anything sparkly!! I should have been!! I am under-dressed!!

[Martin G @storagebod]

@boreders Excellent news...you wouldn't want to lose the rights to ARU...

[Martin G @storagebod]

@boreders Did you manage to stay married though??

@K_0 VR headset and intravenous drip...

A Better Than Life experience!!

Today I discovered that @natasha_pulley is one of M's university tutors...we were talking about a friend called Natasha, M pipes up that one of her tutors was called Natasha...I loved Watchmaker of Filigree Street...and don't know what she's done to deserve the insanity of M!!

@_AndyHemming @Zos93 If it turns on and off at the front panel...that is normally a good indication that the motherboard, CPU and memory are okay IME. If it doesn't turn off - normally a sign that it is something on the board.

[Martin G @storagebod]

@_AndyHemming @Zos93 Does it turn off at the power button?? If it doesn't - reseat memory and CPU .

[Martin G @storagebod]

@_AndyHemming @Zos93 Does it beep and or does it have a led on the board which tells you what is going on. The other thing - does it turn off using the power button? Or do you have to turn off at the power supply??

[Martin G @storagebod]

@_AndyHemming @Zos93 Reseat and clean everything - also check you've got the right input selected on the monitor.
