The joys of the crappy NHS

Just got a doctors appointment. Given that the surgery opened seven minutes ago, I thought I stood a chance of getting an early appointment. Apparently not. 11 o'clock. Ah well, gives me an opportunity to sit around at home for a bit doing bugger all...

Opening this out to the floor

Most of you are geeks of one stripe or another. One or two of you have nice shiny letters after your names to prove it. Therefore I am asking for your assistance. Anyone know of a small (4"x5" or smaller, if poss) SBC board with a decent 3-400Mhz processor, graphics and pref. sound, that will also drive a small LCD screen? Also needs to have very low power requirements (on the order of a couple of watts, max). I have a vaguely crazy project in mind which will require such an animal, and all the boards I've found either require too much power, or are too big, or too expensive (one I saw was $3000 for a development board, that's just crazy talk). At the moment I'm pricing up and doing a little dreaming, but when I actually have some money, I'm going to turn it into a custom sub-notebook, primarily just because I can and it sounds like fun.

Betamethasone Valerate

I should have been a dermatologist. At least then I could write the prescriptions I know damn well they're going to give me for myself...
