Palfrey's life

For those of you confused by my current MSN name - which says "Is niet goud. Veel Nederlands woorden, *een* betenkenis...." (It's not good. Many Dutch words, *one* meaning....), this is because I've spent too much of the last 48 hours absorbing Dutch vocab after having not turned up to either lesson last week - which was a very bad idea, mostly spiralled out of control from my procrastinating after time spent with parentals, and not spending the time I should learning Dutch. Anyways, I'm vaguely caught up, and the Dutch lesson today went reasonably ok, so that's something.

More TNG watching tonight (needed a break after vast chunks of Dutch, but back to the grindstone tommorrow), with 6x8, "A Fistful of Datas". And the very interesting screen capture below which very clearly shows a couple of Surface Mounted IC's (as you'd see in many current electronics) as the gubbins of a PADD, and the "isolinear chip" as a slot thing below that. Yay for "futuristic" props.
