Went shopping today and got tonnes done. I took my Gameboy Advance to CEX as planned, however, I was a bit worried as I couldn't find the box for it. I shouldn't have worried as they would take it for the price advertised on the web site. However, there was a catch. I could either take the £75 but only use it to exchange for other stuff in the shop (Or take a voucher), or I could take £60 and run. After a bit of mulling over, I decided to take the £60. £15 less than I was expecting but it's better than what I could have got on eBay. That means it will cost me a whole £20 to upgrade to the new GameBoy SP thingy but I gotta put up with having no Gameboy for 2 months. I'm sure I will cope... just.

Other things I picked up were the 5 books from the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy triliogy by Douglas Adams (Which I've never read before) for a tidy £9, Trigger Happy TV 3 DVD for a £12, Warcraft 3 for £20 (Another great bargain), Scrabble PC game for Mum at only £4, new Squarepusher Album - Do You Know Squarepusher, new fleece top and some gloves. All in all, quite a good day apart from that painful headache I had earlier...

Your Livejournal Analysis


Your Livejournal's Age


According to the information you provided, your Livejournal was created on 2001-04-25, meaning that your journal has been around for 625 days. What does this mean?


With over a year of LJ experience under your belt, you can safely call yourself an experienced user. If you are still actively using your journal by now, then chances are you are here to stay. You probably don't add friends nearly as often as you used to, and more than likely have removed a bunch of people that used to be there. Staying in an online community for a year is something of an achievement, you know.


Your Livejournal Friends


Now let's talk about your friends list. You indicated that you have 52 LJ friends.
You have something of a large friends list, and let's be honest, you probably don't really read them all, do you? Okay, so your journal has been around, it's to be expected that you have a fairly large friends list. Some of these people might have been names you added at some point in the past, but you can't really remember why. A good portion of these journals are probably from people you only know in passing, and you don't really consider them friends as much as friendly folks.


You also have been listed as a friend by 60 users.
You have quite a few people watching your list, and have become pretty popular. You are well established in the time you've had your journal, and now it looks like you've established yourself pretty well. Probably got around in a few of them Livejournal groups, probably have a lot of addbacks from your own friends list. How many of these people really know you, however?


Finally in this category, you have a friends to friends-of ratio of 0.86666666666667.
This is an average ratio, meaning you have nearly (or maybe exactly) the same number of friends as people who have listed you as a friend. There's a good chance you add back everyone who has added you, and only add people who haven't added you if they are a good friend and chances are they'll be adding you back anyway.


Your Posting Habits


You have indicated that to date, you have made 340 entries into your Livejournal. This gives us an average post rate of 0.544 posts per day.
With this kind of post rate, you are updating at least once every other day, sometimes once a day. This seems to indicate that you like to keep your friends (or simply your journal) updated on the day to day progress of your life, no matter how boring or exciting. There are days when you simply have nothing to say, and on those days you simply say nothing, although you make a good effort to update when you can.


Your Commenting Habits


According to your information, you have posted 571 comments and have recieved 572 of them over the lifetime of your journal. Let's see what this information can mean.


First of all, this indicates that you have been getting an average of 1.6823529411765 comments for every Livejournal entry that you make.
You can expect roughly one comment per post, sometimes more, although chances are you have entries every now and then that spark discussion, with gaps of no-comments in between. You make a fairly decent effort to incite commenting on your posts, and try to keep your journal fresh and interesting enough that people feel the need to respond to what you have to say.


A more fair measure of how many comments you get might be your average number of comments per post per friend, which is 0.032352941176471. This may seem low to you, especially if you have lots of friends.


The final statistic is the ratio of your comments to comments you get. Your ratio is 0.99825174825175. The higher the ratio, the more talkative you are compared to your friends, comment-wise.


That's it for now! Perhaps there was something insightful in this analysis, and perhaps you learned absolutely nothing. Feel free to post your results on your own Livejournal, and invite your friends to take the Livejournal Analysis today!

The sixth book in the trilogy has been published now, it's not finished but the book also contains parts of what DA was working on before he died that were found on his PC.

Those Gameboy SP do indeed look spiffing, I'm going to be after one of those beauties too, unless a rediculasly cheap GBA offer lands in my lap

Ah, so I guess it won't really make for amazing reading then? Not knowing the end of the story I mean...

The sixth book in the trilogy has been published now...

It has? Wow! That's news to me. I didn't even know any material was known to exist. Well, I'm glad they've published what he did write. Although, if while you're reading and it stops mid-sentence, it would seem kind've surreal. Almost like you're expecting the rest of the words to fill in. Hoping Douglas' ghost finishes it.

*hugs*

It's not actually a HHGTTG book, it's some of the work DA was doing on the third Dirk Gently novel. Stephen Fry (I think) strung together the best parts of what had been done and that made it into the collection of some of DA's other writings, The Salmon Of Doubt. The Trilogy is still 5 parts, AFAIK :)

Picked TSOD up about 3 days before its release, in Waterstones, cheap, oddly enough :)
