Sorry, but what I like to do is stare at the green dot on the monitor. Sometimes the screen goes blank and I have to hit a keyboard thing. Then I stare at the green dot again. I thought that’s what computery things were good for. The green dot. You can find the whole of the multiverses in the green dot, believe me. Hotboy
Hi Hotboy. It sounds as if you don’t have a very interesting screen saver.
I went to the Futurity site but could find nothing at all about the recent research on carbon fibre underpants. They should update their site.
Hi Rob,
Futurity aggregates news only from the partner sites. Finding news about university research in general is problematic, and is a topic I will post about iin the future. In the meantime, I think you can buy them here http://www.ttnet.net/ttnet/gotoprd////15451303139333537303.htm
Good post Roddy. Like the others on the Spineless site as well. You might be interested in some of the articles here: http://www.tastethecloud.com specifically the series topics like Information and Content of the Deep Web, others as well. Anyway, good posts.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for that. I’ll have a look at your site.
