We had some more fun horsing around on Radio KoL tonight, courtesy of DJ Ben.
I’ve put up some pictures to let listeners everywhere get a taste of the high-tech equipment Ben uses in the luxury surroundings of the Radio KoL studios.

I don’t really believe it.
I’m writing this in ecto, on my still-shiny iMac G5. I’ve spent today partitioning, installing and transferring.
World – Tranquility. Tranquility – World.
TNT assures me that Tranquility will arrive tomorrow, and I’ve left instructions as to how she should be delivered to the middle of nowhere.
This should, therefore, be my last night without OS X – it’s taken six weeks so I can wait a few more hours. Just about.
After many days of lies, half-truths and procrastination, those crazy fools down the hall from me have scraped together the second episode of The Mundane Egg – head over and download Yolk of Oppression now!
I’m in it as a real character, for once – three lines, with no idea of my character, but it came out alright. And I am shaped like a drawer, incidently.
No new Mac yet. Boo.
Ever since Ginger – my trusty flip-top laptop who’s been everywhere with me for the past six years – went terribly wrong last November I’ve had my sights set on a new machine. Despite the fact that a wintel box would be really useful for all sorts of lighting-relevant software, not to mention ridiculously cheaper, there wasn’t much chance of me throwing away my membership card of the Apple Faithful. Add in the recent massive surges in malware, viri and security holes that frequent Redmond software and it was a done deal.
It was only a matter of when, what and how much.

I’m off dahn saaff for the weekend, to see Becks and Steve gettin’ hitched. I’m really looking forward to the next couple of days, partly because it’s my first real wedding – in a real church! – and also since I’ll get to see lots of old friends and have a lovely party.
So I’ll be gone from here, but watch my moblog for exciting updates.
Once I get back Top Girls will be only one week away, so I guess I’ll be busy. And Tranquility should be arriving, too…
Enlightening Times is now one year old, and we’ve also just passed the 150 posts mark.
We’d like to thank the Academy, our parents, and, of course, Chris Fleming and the good folks of gradwell.com for their charming hosting.
(Things will be changing around here, probably sometime after my new Mac arrives in a couple of weeks. But more on that later.)
The point at which The West Wing was set on it’s course of self-destruction happened way before Martin Sheen’s unpopular views on the Iraq War, but when it became clear that it was more fantastical than anything produced by the Sci-Fi Channel compared to its real-life counterpart.
There is nothing better on our screens.
Obviously, when posting about my London trip and the exciting moblogUK party, I only bothered to mention the moblog’ers that I’d met down there.
It was shameful of me not to give a shout-out to the wonderful Felicity Rob^H^H^HPickering, who met up with me and Richard “I used to work for the BBC” Lace for a drinky or two beforehand. It was great to see old friends in addition to the new ones.
Ben Swithen – yes, he of The Fez – DJ’s one of the shows on Radio KoL, the official music-’n'-talk internet-radio-thing of the Kingdom of Loathing.
His slot is Tuesday nights, 2200-0000 GMT, which is in about twenty minutes. He’s got One Of The Tom’s as a co-host, and last week I popped in to sit on some peas. Why not give it a listen?
