... And that was it. Just the movie left to watch and then I'll be done. And I will hopefully at one point get actually coherent about the whole thing.

Obviously, today is not, etc.

I must know...watching Sleeping In Light, were you crying?

I do know I teared up just /thinking/ about the closing monologue, today.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

... Yes. Damn you, JMS, damn you! Sobeth.

I also teared up when Londo woke up in The Long Night ..., and in various other places, but mostly when Delenn and Sheridan say goodbye and I don't even LIKE that pairing!

(Aside: Oh, god, I now have a Londo muse and a G'Kar muse trying to move into my head. Could somebody spare a Garibaldi muse to keep them under control?)

I can hear avelanches of slash rolling down the hills, brace yourselves or be swept away.

[wibbble]

That's not the only TV movie. There's others, but I don't have them.

literaltruth does, though. Either we wait until Christmas, or we can go through to Gourock and break into his house.

I have 'Legend Of The Rangers' - a TV movie/pilot for a Rangers-based series on CD somewhere. Be warned: it's really quite bad.

I also have two of the three trilogies of canon novels, one of which is all about Londo/Vir/G'Kar and Centauri Prime post-season 5.

Lemme know if there's any of that you want. You should, once you can (or here) watch Crusade, too, as it's rather good. But I'd wait a little while first.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yes, I do want to read the Centauri novels. Soon. But not quite yet, I need to recover first. And convince myself that I don't need my own copy of the DVDs.

[wibbble]

I figured you'd need a break, first. :o)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yes, thanks. (Ignore the fact that I went looking for the books after work today. Ahem.)

My brain and heart are somewhat shredded to pieces.

And BTW, I still disagree about Lennier. He is NOT a bastard!

[wibbble]

He so is! It doesn't matter that he went back or not - that one act destroys anything good he could do. How could you possibly trust him again, knowing the level of obsession he has over Delenn?

People that obsessed can get really dangerous. It's not a huge step from letting Sheriden die to actively killing people, and it's not a huge step from that to killing Delenn.

He's a scary fucked-up freak, and a dick.

The prosecution rests. ;o)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

But there's a difference between obsessiveness (and I do agree the boy needs help, there--side note: why is there no psychologist or psychiatrist on B5? Seriously) and evilness. Even taking into account that few people are even as evil as Morden or Refa and their unquenchable thirst for power, Lennier at least acknowledges that what he did was bad. He felt remorse. A truly evil character would't.

[wibbble]

Just because it's not mentioned on screen doesn't mean there won't be a psychologist or psychiatrist on B5. On RS we have one of each, with an EarthForce psychiatrist and a civilian psychologist (who is my character).

Is Morden evil? He doesn't do what he does for power. And I never said Lennier was /evil/, I said he was a dick. :op

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I'd think it'd be mentioned, considering the fucked-upness of certain characters. For one thing, I'd at least expect someone to suggest Garibaldi or Doc Franklin go there during their respective episodes.

[wibbble]

Garibaldi says something on the order of 'I know some people who can help' to Franklin.

However, both of them are the kind of people who would want to work things out on their own, and also, scenes in a psychiatric office or a psychologist's sofa wouldn't be interesting. ;o)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Hm, good point.

Actually, I'd like to see an episode in a psychiatristès office. If nothing else, the poor man/woman must me horridly overworked on that station.

ooh. bunny. noooooo.

[wibbble]

Unfortunately, I didn't post my RP logs as the psychologist character doing his job - the other player didn't want it to be public information.

[wibbble]

Randomly, as I remember:

Do things on http://dome.wibbble.org.uk/ and the slashgirl.org.uk domains load right for you? I remember that we made changes to your hosts file so it's work on the network - those changes mean that it won't work properly now.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Oh, is that why it won't work?:D Yeah, I noticed that the other day. How do I fix that?

[wibbble]

You need to open the hosts file, which lives in 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC'. Remove any entries about 'dome.wibbble.org.uk' or 'slasgirl.org.uk' or 'edgeoflight.co.uk'. You'll probably have to reboot for the changes to be noticed by the machine - but maybe not, so try it and see for yourself first. :o)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

It worked, and without restarting, too!

(Now, at some point this week I'll need your help trying to decide on which iBook I want, and on how to buy it and to hold my hand as I worry about whether I'll get the credit or not. And then you'll get to have the pleasure of walking me through setting up the PoS as a file server. :D)

(Hm, we could have a Ritual De-Gates-ing Party. :D)

[wibbble]

You really should go over to the Apple centre on Nicholson Street. We were in there on Monday and they have both iBooks, right there. You can play with them and stuff. They actually do interest-free credit on all their machines, so maybe you could ask about G5 iMacs (or see if you can beat them down to a cheap price on an old G4 iMac - they'll have stock of those to shift).

By 'file server', do you just mean 'local file server', or also web/email server, like I've got Dome set up to be? Because that could be fun to set up. You could point a femgeeks subdomain at it (edinburgh.femgeeks.net, maybe?). If it's just for file storage, that'll be simpler - just a basic Linux install with SAMBA (it's easiest to use Windows filesharing), and lock everything else down for security.

Are there any conditions on that credit, though?

And I really do want a laptop, for a variety of reasons ranging from the practical (I will be doing a lot more travelling now than I ever did before) to the whimsical (eeeeelaptop!). I'm thinking, iBook with lowest-spec RAM and then buy cheaper extra ram from that website you mentioned.

The second. I'd like to be able to get at my files there if I'm at my parents, and share things like mp3s with people. Also, I'd be able to offer some of my vidder friends webspace and (most importantly) bandwidth. (I'd offer femgeeks space, but after the Great Bandwidth Spike of 2001, I'm somewhat paranoid there. <g>)

Because that could be fun to set up.

Fun in the good way, or in the sarcastic way?

You could point a femgeeks subdomain at it (edinburgh.femgeeks.net, maybe?).

Hm. Can I point multiple subdomains there? I could do one for filehosting (files.femgeeks.net) and then one for my personal stuff, too.

Or possibly I'll just go for diebillyboydie.femgeeks.net. :D

[wibbble]

I've no idea about conditions - I just overheard one of the sales guys talking to someone while we were looking at the shiny toys.

For future reference, the website was http://www.crucial.com/uk.


And it could be fun-fun, now that I've got a much better idea how to do it. :o)

Multiple subdomains would work trivially. Consider what's being hosted from this machine:

dome.wibbble.org.uk
lj.wibbble.org.uk
slashgirl.org.uk
www.slashgirl.org.uk
elance.slashgirl.org.uk
danger.slashgirl.org.uk
amy.slashgirl.org.uk
elelome.slashgirl.org.uk
theus.slashgirl.org.uk
meril.slashgirl.org.uk
lists.slashgirl.org.uk
lj.slashgirl.org.uk
icons.slashgirl.org.uk
litslash.slashgirl.org.uk
tolkien.slashgirl.org.uk
sandman.slashgirl.org.uk
forum.slashgirl.org.uk
edgeoflight.co.uk
www.edgeoflight.co.uk
personal.edgeoflight.co.uk
mrkh.edgeoflight.co.uk
sets.edgeoflight.co.uk
origipats.edgeoflight.co.uk
publishing.edgeoflight.co.uk

Each new virtual host just requires a few lines in the httpd config file, and you can get separate logging and access control, and even bandwidth limits for each subdomain.

Thanks for the URL, and I'll drop by there some time this week, I think, to find out.

And yay, that sounds cool. :D

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Be coherent. I get my vicarious thrills out of other people sobbing over these last episodes as well.*g*

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I can either sob or be coherent, but not both, dammit!

Just. Oh my god. Londo. And he. And the. And. *sobth*

YOUR ICON IS NOT HELPING HERE!

I know, but you have to admit that the quote is ever so fitting, she said sadistically.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

It is, dammit. Excuse me, I need to go cry my eyes out some more ...
