Today's boot fair bargain...

A Sony Vaio 3.5" USB drive for £2. Seems to be working correctly, but it's probably going to go to eBay since I have another drive. Anyone in the UK interested before I list it, for cost plus postage?

I also got an optical slide copier, the type that goes on an SLR instead of a lens. I suspect that on my DSLR the minimum zoom will be about 2/3rds of a slide, which isn't ideal, but it's got to be better than my attempts to scan slides with a faulty scanner. I need a T-mount for it, so it'll be a few days before I have any results.

LJ have a survey up, presumably so they can determine which way to fuck up the site next:

It's probably worth filling it in just to point out that people do have friends, do belong to communities, use the friends page, etc. since they don't seem to have much of a clue.
