Space Demons...

Has anyone else out there read Space Demons?

'was just reminded by something on IRC of it tonight and Elfy managed to remember the name... I'm quite amazed that more than one person had actually read it.

I remember it fondly as a cliched yet decent "My First Cyberpunk"... being about a bunch of kids who play a prototype game that (cheesily) draws them inside, and reacts to hatred... I remember the kids in the game started getting cracks appearing in the periphery of their vision... some of it was quite disturbing for a kid's book.

Apparently, it's part of a fucking trilogy... I might just hunt that down.

Now fucking hang on one moment...

I would like to know, precisely, where I tell Windows 2000 that should I accidently mash the 'Standby button' that some almighty fuckwit chose to put on my keyboard, rather than trying to suspend and crashing, it actually does fuck all, rather than the two options of 'suspend' or 'power off'.

Yes, it's late, and I do indeed require my Special Dialling Wand(tm), but this is just fucking silly.

I basically have a 'crash when you press this' button on my keyboard.

Fuck that.

Thank FUCK for my habit of pressing CTRL-S automatically, every time I change anything.

Work hours lost - 0.

I am, however, extremely narked off.

What the crazy fuck?!
