I thought I would make it known that in a creative vein, I wrote a small sketch to open the Interactive Knightmare chat log for last Saturday (4th October)... What with the Caption Competitions, IKM is a good site on which to be creative.  |

Yes. Unfortunately, the computer rooms on campus are closed during the KM Chat 'business hours', so I can't participate in the chat as such. I tried on my home PC over the summer, but there are some problems on that score as well. But, I read the logs, and have witnessed tumbleweed persecution, so I thought I'd contribute the sketch on Saturday while the computer centre was open! |

That's unlucky. The labs where I am close at midnight. Maybe you could petition your computing service to have a late lab?

Well, there is a 24 hour computer room on campus, but it's closed for refurbishment at the moment. They're also trying to turn one of the student lounges into a cybercafe. I'll be patient...

Here, then, is the sketch mentioned above:
12:39:21 Tumbleweed has joined the room
12:39:33 Tumbleweed Am I safe?
12:39:58 Tumbleweed Yes, I think I'm OK. I can rest here for a bit.
12:40:37 Tumbleweed You know, Cypher, the life of an internet tumbleweed is hard.
12:41:09 Tumbleweed It's the Chatterers. The Humans. They're hunting us...
12:41:23 Tumbleweed ...to extinction.
12:41:38 Tumbleweed Seems to be a habit of theirs.
12:42:15 Tumbleweed Half my tumbleweed clan got wiped out by chatroom actions in the space of a week!
12:42:43 Tumbleweed We decided it'd be safer to split up. But I haven't heard from the others in ages.
12:42:48 Tumbleweed I fear the worst.
12:43:18 Tumbleweed Hang on...
12:43:47 Tumbleweed You're one of them, aren't you, Cypher? Aren't you?
12:44:19 Tumbleweed You're one of their minions!! OH NO!!
12:44:43 Tumbleweed They'll chase me, firebomb me, tear me apart, but I'm innocent!!
12:45:58 Tumbleweed I have to move on. Perhaps one day, I'll find the Sacred Garden, the mystical safe haven of internet tumbleweeds.
12:46:06 Tumbleweed Goodbye, Cypher.
12:46:09 Tumbleweed has left the room
12:48:43 TW_Hunter_344 has joined the room
12:49:12 TW_Hunter_344 He was here, wasn't he? That 'weed.
12:50:19 TW_Hunter_344 It's all in the logs. Little creep didn't even cover his tracks. He's baiting me, the pest!
12:50:48 TW_Hunter_344 I bet he overpowered you to escape, Cypher.
12:51:43 TW_Hunter_344 Ooh, I hate internet tumbleweeds. Obtuse pieces of flotsam. Spewing destruction across cyberspace.
12:52:09 TW_Hunter_344 But don't worry, I'll get him soon enough. Soon enough...
12:53:01 TW_Hunter_344 23 captures this week alone. This was my day off. It's my boy's birthday party...
12:53:49 TW_Hunter_344 ...But I can't even sleep, knowing those tumbleweeds are out there. Polluting the internet.
12:55:12 TW_Hunter_344 I'd better go. Stock up on ammo. But I'll get that little tumbleweed...
12:55:13 TW_Hunter_344 has left the room

Further to the above, I logged a monologue by 'Cypher's mother', in the IKM chat log for Saturday 29th November.
But, I didn't write Cypher's father afterwards, and would love to know who did...
