eve-online

hi all

just to let you know, eve-online is currently available at 90% off on  
steam, this is off the first monthly installment so after that it's  
back up to full price but if you've been thinking about getting a full  
account then this looks like a good deal.

it appears to be a very short term offer, looks like less than a day left

hope this is of interest

O'Reilly UG Membership

Hello All,

If you hadn't heard it from me before, we're now members of O'Reilly's User Group Programme. For the 'price'
of having a banner upon the website, we get a few benefits. Whilst I haven't been sent the welcome pack yet,
this is what I've so far been told.

    • 35% Discount off of all O'Reilly books. (this is print only, using the UK store). Code "OR111".

    • Donations of Books and Other Promo items (we'll see what happens on this front. Using it as a prize for a
competition would be a nice idea).

    • Possibilities of talks by O'Reilly authors. (If there's anyone you'd like, I'll ask and see what I can do).

    • Review copies of books. If you'd like to write a review, a copy of a book can be arranged to be sent to me.
They request that reviews are posted either on the site, or in a newsletter (and any other possible
places). Similarly, give me a shout on this one.

They also send me a newsletter each month; you can view this months here: http://connect.oreilly.co.uk/oreillyuklz//lz.aspx?p1=056982S93&CC=&p=1&cID=0&cValue=1

Give me a shout if any of the above are useful to you. Similarly, suggest possible speakers and I will try to
chase them.

Nick.

Boxes for Moving

Even' all.

People wouldn't happen to have some boxes Georgie and I could use for moving, would they?

Or some big plastic boxes that we could borrow for a week or so?
