I mentioned to a friend that I had reinstalled Neverwinter Nights to play Kingmaker and was going to try Darkness Over Daggerford next. So he went and got me Pirates of the Sword Coast and Wyvern Crown of Cormyr as a birthday gift! :D

UGH! The ride home was terrible. About a third of the way home done, a freakin' storm started. I was drenched after mere minutes. The storm was strong too, after some time the road was just too slippery. I had to come back by metro, but obviously something had to go wrong there too. They don't allow bikes on rush hour, so I had to wait until 7 PM. So there I was, soaked, tired, standing beside my bicycle looking like a moron waiting for half an hour.

Might start a new BG2 challenge later tonight.

I've recently realised that computers don't seem to have a wake up alarm clock generically in them (for example as a part of Windows), or at least, I was unable to find one.

As a result, I was awaken by a voice in Klingon saying it was time for qagh... Don't ask :p

(While one could probably schedule a loud task to do the job, that seemed like too much effort for me at the time, and I didn't have internet connection for the other obvious solution.)

I don't even know where the schedule setting on my computer are, let alone how to change them. It's just never come up before.

I just bought a £5 alarm clock from argos lol :D

I'm seriously pee'd off. My house is a building site, Rob's being a fanny, there are builders turning up at all hours, my mother-in-law is ruining Ashleys routine AND spoiling him (to the point where he just kicked my mums dog and thought it was funny), I'm trying to run a business, get the car serviced, sort out my own health problems and look after my mum!

It's never ending!!

All men turn into a nonce when there is an ounce of pressure, surely you knew that already :p

If it all gets too much, lock your mother in a cupboard :) Then tell Ashley to hide because Grandma is going to play hide and seek with him. If Rob doesn't start being helpful make him go to the shops to buy potentially embarressing combinations of items, grab a cup of tea, get some work done until Ashley gets bored hiding and complains there is a banshee in the cupboard and let your mother out on the condition she goes to the chemist for things to make you feel better. Call out a mechanic while wearing a low cut top and you can garuntee he will work for a longer time but give you a discount.

PROBLEMS SOLVED! :D

Cheers 8!

All men turn into a nonce when there is an ounce of pressure, surely you knew that already

I resemble that remark.

Actually, I thrive under pressure.

I'm hiding out in Vancouver on a business trip trying to feel guilty about leaving Mrs Bruno with the two T2's while I'm getting myself blitzed on great beer at a great restaurant and hotel. Ah, the sacrifices we make.

Mushrooms for lunch, yay! :)

Also, engraving glass is *fun*. :D

No offence intended T2 ;) I know there are plenty of guys who do well under pressure. However there are so many more that are vocal and whiny :lol:

I think it's just you tend to remember those ones more ;)

Not really, I always remember a surprise :p

...I actually didn't know that it's pressure that causes a guy to become a sex offender...

Under pressure! That brings a building down! Splits a family in two! Puts people on streets!

I tend to get really whiny and annoying (as my girlfriend can attest to), BUT I also manage to output good results.

For example, I'm whiny and annoying now and I have an exam tomorrow and maybe I shouldn't have been playing BG2...

Just got back from the doctors because my hearing has been getting bad lately. Turns out I've had a long-term problem which means that now my ear-drums aren't working properly. I have to go to an audiologist.
My old doctor kept insisting that the problem was hayfever, if only he'd bothered looking properly then I might not have to worry as much!

I have just decided that it's a good job we don''t all llive under water because I just scratched myself and it bled. Then I went for a cigerette outside and if we lived under water than a shark might have smelled the blood and come swimming over the fence to eat me....and that would have been really weird.


Also, the makers of paddling pools would go out of business

Mushrooms for lunch, yay!

Err... yeah. :shake:

Went at a friend's place earlier today... Absinth + a [expletive] hot, [expletive] sunny day = absolute knockout.

ION, the bureaucrats are visiting the store tomorrow. [Expletive] those [expletive]. They should go back to pushing their pencils and let us do the *real* work.

IOON, I just uploaded the Right To Censor's theme as the ear-splitting ringtone of doom. Some ears are gonna bleed... and nevermind the Spanish Death Metal remake of the Macarena. :shake:

IOOON, someone I despise finally had what they deserved coming. Heh.

IOOOON, I am SO going to get wasted tonight. Ministry and Nine Inch Nails albums? Check. Absinth? Check. Blackberry Brandy Blunt? Check. Yeah, should be good.

I resemble that remark.


You do? I must admit that I never imagined you to be quite like that. :p

I've developed a peanut allergy :cry:

I can't believe this, as you may know (or not) I'm working for the ministry of tourism. I have got a call today from a woman from Massachusetts who asked me if Vancouver was a province and if it's near Montreal? Hum, no and no ?! How can people be so ignorant? We're not talking about some small village lost in the middle of nowhere, we're talking about bloody Vancouver! The hell ?!

I have got a call today from a woman from Massachusetts who asked me if Vancouver was a province and if it's near Montreal?

LMAO... Epic Fail from the US, :lol:

5 hour bus drive (2x2.5 hours) for a 10 minute administrative chore. The worst bit is that I was quite happy to do it, since the alternative would probably involve much, much more effort on my part.

Also, it is near impossible to study at home (away from uni).

I have just come to the realisation that when my hard drive died it took all my role playing plans with it :( time to start writing again I guess *sigh*

Supposed to be going to a BBQ today, though it looks like its going to be a very windy and possibly damp BBQ judging by the weather lol :P

Just checking in while I wait for my food....

I've spent 3 days on various beaches, a full day at the San Diego Zoo, got drunk with my favorite brother, and I'm spending all of today at Laguna Beach and the tide pools taking pictures of various sea creatures...
This vacation is turning out to be pretty awesome! I still need to hit Six Flags and Knotts though....I'm slowly working my way north.

I've decided to suck it up and start exercising. This could be the end of me.

Go for it Saber- it'll likely be unpleasant at first, but you'll end up feeling much better for it further down the line. Out of curiosity, what are you thinking of taking up?

http://www.nintendo.com/wiifit/launch/?ref=http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=wii+fit&meta=&aq=f&oq=#

What about it?

What Saber should take up for exercising :lol:

Oh dear merciful gods I hope I did not just dream what I think I did :mommy:

I'm hoping against hope I just got two dreams mixed up, otherwise my fondness for certain Warhammer things has just gone too far! :toofar::nuts:

I just tried to find a picture on google to depict your crazy dream but all I got was Sharapova on a tennis court, google aint what it used to be...

There are no pictures.

Only concern.

I think that may be for the best...

I had a dream last night that all the people on star trek had wands and excercise bikes and got turned into animals....

Saber,
given the choice I almost every time prefer cooking, eating or playing computer games over sports when I have arrived at home. I need to trick myself somewhat.

Try make it a part of your daily routine. I did start biking by starting cycling back the 16km (~10 miles) from work, because I have to get home anyway, and because it is relaxing (even when the weather is ghastly). It barely lasts longer. I am now fit enough to conveniently go jogging here and then, which I also intent to integrate into my daily/weekly routine (goal: twice or three times a week; distance successively increasing). Sort of works for me.

After both pizza and quite a bit of garlic bread, I suspect my breath is now lethal to a range of about a metre or so. Methinks that some mints will need to be found.

Found a lovely larp sword I want... only $170CAD and I dare not consider the postage :(

Am far too hot as well, couldn't even finish my dinner :o

Busy last few days. Removed a lot of "dead wood" on my yard. Good riddance.

I have ear-ache

Out of curiosity, what are you thinking of taking up?

I have been doing some core work - I found a good exercise that works all of the core muscles online. I am also going to do some biking and swimming once it stops raining. The swimming might not work out because I don't have a pool readily available, but I have plenty of hills to bike. I would run, but my knees don't like it so much.

Additionally, I am lifting some weights to get a bit stronger.


And :lol: at Ziad.

I would run, but my knees don't like it so much.

I'll grab a paintball gun and "motivate" you. :evil:

Ok, asleep at 6pm, revising at 4am, awaiting breakfast and happily gaming in a few minutes - my day cycle has officially entered the "so wrong that it's right" phase...

On the plus side - the weather is so gloomy that thoughts of revision make me happy.

I'll grab a paintball gun and "motivate" you.

Hahaha, I don't doubt you would.

DotW + paintball gun (or any other object of destruction/pain/fun) = :aaa:

On the plus side - the weather is so gloomy that thoughts of revision make me happy.
Revising then gaming in gloomy weather? Excellent! Nothing to feel bad about in both cases :p

Hahaha, I don't doubt you would.

DotW + paintball gun (or any other object of destruction/pain/fun) = :aaa:

The fun part only takes place if your not on the receiving end ;)

For the record I want to state that I am 1,80m and weigh 74kg. I feel it is important to say that ;) And my heartfelt cheers to all who prefer cooking/eating over exercise :xx:

I'm 1.90m and 90kg -- you clearly don't eat enough.

Had a nice weekend of cuddles. Now my boyfriend is back a hundred miles away though, but if I am not back at 'home' in three weeks he is coming to get me :love:

I'm 1.57m and 67kg :o
Will be starting sword play soon though, so should lose more weight than when I have been stuck in a chair watching!

Awww 8, here's some cuddles to tide you over ((((((((hugs)))))))

Thanks.

I am alarmed by how many of my school year are now pregnant or mothers already. Considering I'm one of the eldest in my year, we had four mothers before we even finished A levels (18 yrs) and I have lost count of how many are parents(-to-be) at the age of twenty!

8, what is the sex-ed like in your area? I have noticed (mostly from anecdotal evidence) that in areas where they teach abstinence only sex-ed, there are a lot more pregnant teenagers and young adults than in areas that have a wider based sex-ed.

Saber, here, it was "tell it like it is". Bored the hell out of me... oddly, my best creative inspiration moments were during those years... some people just can't appreciate art... or more specifically, my kind of art. :evil:

Shift of doom tomorrow. And then another shift of doom Thursday. BAH! My supplies are running low, too... too few cigars and absinth left to my liking.

8, what is the sex-ed like in your area? I have noticed (mostly from anecdotal evidence) that in areas where they teach abstinence only sex-ed, there are a lot more pregnant teenagers and young adults than in areas that have a wider based sex-ed.She's from Britain. It's different there. AFAIK they do have tell it like it is sex-ed, and have the highest teenage pregnancy rates in Europe nonetheless.

We have great sex-ed. Unfortunatly, we have a lot of kids here that think that they know better, they're the first people to fall in love, nobody understands and they're all modern day Romeo and Juliets! :lol:

Yeah, that's pretty accurate.

We have great sex-ed. Unfortunatly, we have a lot of kids here that think that they know better, they're the first people to fall in love, nobody understands and they're all modern day Romeo and Juliets! :lol:

I hated Romeo and Juliet :rolleyes:

The sex ed is generally good around here, problem seems to be they teach it too late. Add in the factor I went to an all girls school, as soon as they got any male attention they'd be all over the poor guy :rolleyes: the boys school was just as bad though!

Also many parents neglect to talk to their children it seems. They rely on what the school tells their children to be enough. Whereas when I was seven I came home to a pile of books on my bed :lol:

Also lessons are hard to take seriously when you get a questionaire to fill in as the lesson goes on and one of the questions is "How fast does sperm travel?" my friend wrote down 60mph and proceeded to make racecar noises for the rest of the lesson.

A few of my friends are mothers too, but they seem okay with it. And their babies are really cute!

Numerous people in my high school have had to drop out due to teen pregnancy, though. It's worrying to think about.

When thinking of British sex-ed, I'm thinking of the boarding school sex-ed scene from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.

No wonder it's easily considered as 'good' :shake:

i'm 1,88 and about 92 i think, i was pushing for the big 0,1 ton when i was weight lifting 2 years ago, sadly i only got to 99,5 on the gym weight.

ION: i just got a B+ on my final and physics exam, so i will be studying IT engineering after the summer, go me!

Hmh, I'm 178 and 74. I guess I should be eating more...but I couldn't be bothered. Too lazy to get into a regular workout routine, so every kg of extra weight'd be mainly adipose tissue.

I'm me size and me weight...I don't keep track lol.

I have a few friends who have kids at the age of 20...I had 1 friend who was going to get married at 16 (he was engaged) but that fell through when we finally made him realise what a bovine the girl was :p we were good friends honest. Another of my friends got engaged while he was under treatment for testicular cancer, they got married not long after he was deemed cured and have 1 child and another on the way...he wasn't supposed to be able to have kids when they concieved the first one :D

To be honest most of my friends who are young parents seem to do ok, and all of them have made the choice to settle down at that age rather than continue education (for better or worse)...unfortunately there are a lot of boys and girls in Britain who have not done so well with young parenthood, but I don't know any of them :p

I had Ashley when I was 23

I hated Romeo and Juliet

Heh. I didn't mind the play itself, but quite disliked the chars. The "what were they thinking?" and "love is no excuse for idiocy" vibes didn't go too well with the teacher grading my literature essay though. :p


Morgoth: Nice. :)

I was thinking of starting a 'big circumcision thread' in AoDA, but thought better of it...or better off without it. That would've gotten too hard to handle what with the topic dragging up bad puns like flies over a vat of dripping honey.

About to start painting and I have a bloody panic attack, typical :rolleyes: Now I'm shakey and have pains in my chest. Not the best conditions to be painting in.

Poor 8 :(

Productivity actually feels good afterwards. A pity it takes me hours to *start* being productive. Oh, well, the books can't run far, and all the hiding places are dusty. *starts looking for the crossbow*

Also, I must say I admire all the people with skill and patience to paint miniature models, Warhammer or otherwise. I can't even paint fences right...

I feel so ill! I have a cold AND hayfever. I can't breathe properly, all my joints ache and I feel just rubbish and sleepy

Is it weird that I have a boyfriend that wants to spoil me and I'm reluctant to recieve any gifts? :doh: Just doesn't feel right he keeps wanting to do things and buy things for me so much.

Woke up at quarter to five this morning, very tired and unable to get back to sleep. So I sat dreaming awake for a while. Was rather dull ones though.

I had a dream about work last night :( I think I need sort my head out.

Wow! Things have changed since I was last here! Beren and dmc are green, BTA and Tal are red, Chandos seems to be leading in the blue box race, and there’s a new section seems to show all the visitors in a day (and today appears to have set a record for most visitors**). Plus there’s a new rule that says we have to be respectful – that’s just what I would expect from a moronic site administrator. :p

Anyway, I just came back to say that I haven’t really come back – RL is keeping me busy. Try to survive without me. :D

Chandos seems to be leading in the blue box race

Yeah, I was wondering when Chandos would take the lead. He certainly took his own sweet time about it.

Hm, I seem to be on autopilot more often than not...

...fortunately they were steel hexnuts with a wax coating. I was about to bolt (:)).

Just had to call the police because a drunk guy had fallen over in the street. By the time they arrived, after only one hour :grr: he had sobered enough to be staggering (slowly and unsteadily) homewards. They still insisted on seeing him home, though. Probably a very good idea.

My X2's motherboard has passed the gun to the left. If I wasn't so giddy about upgrading to a Phenom, I'd almost be sad.

So in the meanwhile I'm stuck with a crappy ol' 900MHz P3 who wanted nothing to do with Internet unless plugged to a router. I tried regular and crossover RJ45, nothing worked. Then I plug a stupid regular cable into a router, which I plug in the F'N modem, lo and behold, it works.

Stupid piece of crap. You'll meet an untimely and very brutal death when the Phenom arrives...

My suggestion is either use a hammer, or burn it.

After wasting a lot of time installing Windows 7, Virtual PC, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 on my student HDD for my Data & Network Communications class at home the other night, I found out today that the computers we have at school can't handle Win7...so I'm having to start all over, but with XP. :bang:

In other news, I get to wake up early tomorrow to get started on a never-ending list of chores. :bad: Anyone interested in some thankless busywork?

Why are you using both 2003 and 2008? And why Window servers? Everyone knows that Linux is the more stable OS for running a server.

I have no clue...it's for class, and I just did what I was told. Our instructor has some pretty odd labs planned for us.

Everyone knows that Linux is the more stable OS for running a server.

Another worthless generalization. Ever heard of BSD? Updates don't even need a freaking reboot.

Updates don't even need a freaking reboot.

Neither do the Linux distro's that I use, which are debian and its easy-to-use cousin ubuntu. I'm not sure if you mean normal updates or kernel-upgrades, but they both suffer from the following problem. Doing upgrades without rebooting (or just restarting) can endanger the stability if there is a mistake *somewhere* in the upgrade process, since that would leave the system in an 'undefined' or 'unknown' state. The system is then neither the previous version, or the version you upgraded to. It just exists somewhere between both versions and you can never know, without thorough inspection, how the system is going to respond to certain events.

Just restart after an upgrade and you should be safe from those problems. However, the BSD's rate very high in stability and security. I just remember some problems with SBCL, which is what I use to program with.

Turns out there will be no jobs working on film for me this summer. Which means I am going to have to get a normal job, which means dealing with people. I hate people.

Why do electronics always play up when I'm around? I just sneezed and the track I was listening to changed, wasn't even the end of the song :whoa:

I work in a call centre I get a lot of moronic people, I feel your pain :rolleyes:

Why people get angry at me when I tell them what they want to do is illegal ? Do they really think I can change that or that I give a damn for that matter ?

I clean apartments, and am almost always grouped alone with one of my best friends. Our supervisor only sees us about three times a day, so we can have a good time.

Could be worse, my cousin has a bunch of steel rods running the entire length of his spine, and if he stands too close to a radio, you loose the signal. :nolike:

I have a friend like that 8. I set up her internet on wireless a few weeks ago and it was working fine until she sat down in front of the computer. She didn't even touch it and the whole network thingey just failed!

Started getting a headache last night and it was still there when I got up this morning. Damn thing was lurking around my coffee machine, waiting to pounce!

Half the time if my mother puts a watch on it will start going backwards :lol:

Depending on how fast it goes backwards, it will be correct at least twice each day. That's even better than a watch that stands still. :p If it goes backwards at normal speed, it will be correct four times a day.

Looks like I'm rebuilding the disaster recovery server again. Hopefully third time's the charm. I am going to be flashing the BIOS and upgrading all firmware first, however. Personally, I think the problem is the NIC, but the higher ups seem to think it's a software problem.

People at the bottom suggest things that will let them do the least work, people at the top will suggest things that will save/make the most money, whilst the smart people in the middle will actually be just donig their jobs right...

What's happening to the weather? :eek:

It's been warm and sunny (and rather heavy) all of today. I went out at 18:30 for a quick nip to the supermarket, and while there were some clouds it still looked like a nice sunny evening. I walked out 20 minutes later to rain and wind, and now thunder and lightning!

Dr. Z: Just summer, methinks. It's actually becoming a pattern these last few years. Sun during day, thunder after sunset.


Side note: You know how the eagle eats (well, used to eat) Prometheus' liver every day and it grows back over night? Well, the freaky thing is, liver actually is the only "organised" organ in the human body with such regeneration capacity (mind you I'm not counting skin, GIT mucosa, blood elements, etc. just visceral organs) Anyway, if there is 25% of it left intact the liver will grow back.
Now, did Zeus tell the eagle that?
Or in RL terms - did the storytellers pick the liver by coincidence or did someone actually had some experience with liver regeneration? Javelins and all.
I guess liver is a rather nice target for carnivours - but the regrowth detail is a very, very, nice touch. :D

(Yup, this is what revising pharmacology looks like :p I love that book.)

Ugh...it's dull, grey, and wet outside...I just want to curl up in bed and go back to sleep.

Now if whoever invented the Prometheus story knew about the relative regeneration rates of body organs I am suddenly very, very impressed with the Greeks!

Can I have a peek into that book? Looks like fun :p

One of my all time favorites, in textbook category: Rang & Dale Pharmacology, (6th ed.)

BTW, it's impossible to fall asleep while holding it - imminent +3 crushing damage to ribs and poor fingers.

What about using it as a doorstopper or a paperweight? On second thought the latter won't work, it'll fuse all the papers together under the sheer physical stress of its weight! :roll:

Oh and I just found it on Elsevier's website. They're selling it for $85! No Rang & Dale for me then.

I'm also not that impressed with its weight. It's only 840 pages, which is about 150 pages short of Brock's Biology of Microorganisms (my personal Bible) and half the size of Solomon/Berg/Martin's Biology (now that one's a good paperweight!)

The more I use this 900MHz piece of Intel trash, the more I want to inflict the most merciless, painful and agonizing death my twisted mind can come up with.

Thankfully, I'm picking up my parts tomorrow...

The plan involves a merciless sledgehammer beating followed by heavy torture with a welding iron, burn it with a torch (crispy motherboard, anyone?) and then put a few bricks in it and drop it from a bridge down to a watery grave.

Hell, I could write a novel with this death. :idea:

Really? Whoa... I bought some 'international edition' for about half that price at a book fair last year.

Heh, true, there are far heavier books - but at least they have the decency to look their weight and don't tempt you to read in bed :p

The 'my ***** was soaking wet' lady died.... NOOOOOOOOOOO!!

A friend and her kids turned up last night so we decided to invite the neighbours round too. Hangovers are bad

After the welding and torture, slap it on an office chair, get a mate to do the same, go into a carpark and have a robot wars style duel of old computers!

I am seriously annoyed! I've just had a letter from my local council about road safety in my village. It had a list of proposals for better marked speed limits, improvements to road markings atc. It also included details of a request to have a pedestrian crossing put in at the entrance to the local park. Now, the park is used as a cut through to the village centre where the shops are and also to get to the local play group. The council have decided that even though the road outside the park is very busy and even though children and parents with prams have to cross the road, it's not necessary to have a safe crossing and it's far more important to paint the bus shelter down the road!

Get the local kids to go to the council building and play "jump on the cars" and when they complain say the raod isn't safe near the park because a bus shelter needed painting, that'll shut em up...

I thought that's why such councils were created... :p

@ Ziad; I know the freakin' weather's insane this summer. July used to be a sunny and hot month in Montréal. Now it's just...weird. Damn mother nature!

Well, after all the firmware updates and software tweaks I could possibly do, the server is not backing up any faster. So, next week I get to run a freakin' HUGE IBM data dump and then call in a service order. The problem has got to hardware, unless NetOps is throttling traffic and not telling me.

Going to get cuddles tomorrow :wave:

Unfortunately I was saying that yesterday...

I can't leave home until I sign life insurance papers for my mother and they didn't arrive today :cry:

Was also left waiting an hour at the doctors for a three minute nurse appointment.

Have been finding flying ants in my room again so I think they may have renested in the woodwork of my window like they did last year :wail:

Makes my skin crawl remembering! Leaving the room for dinner and walking back in thinking "Why is it so dark in here?" then followed by "WHY IS THE WINDOW CRAWLING?!"

Finally got a copy of Storm of Zehir, will play it tonight. Though I work this weekend, meh! Oh well, at least I've got Monday and Thursday off.

Too tired. :sleep:

Disaster response services are apparently atm testing the functions of the local warning siren. It's odd to hear the fire and catastrophe alerts on a sunny Saturday morning during breakfast.

Still, much better than the really nerve racking air raid and NBC alerts that I haven't heard since school (they were discontinued after the end of the cold war).

Am I the only person in the world that still plays Populous:The Begining?

I got into a sword fight with my cat...unfortunately, she has 20 little swords built in to her paws...and by the look of my arm, I'd say she won. :bad:

Am I the only person in the world that still plays Populous:The Begining?
I still play the original Populous (from what, 1991?) every few years. So... yeah :p

So. Tired. So much destruction yesterday... I demolished a porch and a jungle-gym/swingset. With big hammers.

Are you Sofa King tired? ;)

Can I lay claim to being Sofa King tired? Or maybe just booping tired :p

I've spent all of this morning cleaning the flat. It's just amazing how quickly rubbish accumulates everywhere. My back hurts from sweeping and sweeping and sweeping... and that's only in a 2-room flat! I shudder to think what I would have to go through if I lived in a large house. On the bright side everything is all shiny now and smells of whatever detergent was on those mops I used.

I just got InFamous...fun game that :)

Happy 233rd birthday to the USA. I still like you :p

Right, 4th of july might explain why I only got two americans on the line today. Well, happy 233rd US of A.

Yep, USA, blow them candles and light the BBQs. You need a short break anyway :)

Am I the only person in the world that still plays Populous:The Begining?

Yes. Also, you're masochistic. You should have stopped playing it a decade ago.

Now, Populous 2 had a Nintendo DS port published under a year ago. Plus it's easily emulated.

Meh...this 4th of July was probably the lamest ever. No fireworks, no explosions of any kind, no wife...just work. :skeptic:

Californication is a great show! I have found yet another thing to spend my time doing instead of being productive :)

Happy 4th :)

Wow, Kavarna rocked!

Oh, and we had elections today. The preliminary results say the socia... sorry, kleptocratic BSP getting the big bad boot, and I'm one happy Boyan.

Moved in the new flat, bittersweet experience. Still facing the initial adaptation issues such as lack of good sleep, which means my caffeine input has gone through the roof again. I almost fell asleep while working yesterday morning... thankfully, this was a short shift, so I bailed out and got some sleep. Seeing me shambling around the store placing stuff must have been pretty hilarious.

I have found yet another thing to spend my time doing instead of being productive :)

As a fellow University student, I must tell you that you should ban "productive" of your vocabulary. The more work you do the more your teachers and colleagues will expect of you as well.

I think I should be granted a major in procrastination by now, meh !

Doing the rest of my military duty as civilian service right now. It's a huuuge waste of time...but meh..

Do you guys have national service then?

I fully agree. I think when I did it the first time I dropped a mark because I got some documents mixed up in my head- a bit of a silly error. The next time I didn't bother revising and dropped none; it really is this easy.

a) Allow them to finish crossing
b) Flash you headlights to get their attention
c) Warn them you are coming by reving your engine

For under 10$ I manage to considerably boost my wireless antenna's signal reception. I took some coper wire wrap it up around the antenna, which I put on the wall near the door. At the other end (where the antenna used to be) I wrap up the end of the wire. And voilà, an increase in signal quality of about 800 %

'Tis truly amazing... :D

Nah, I chewed my way out of the server room, it's too cold in there!! I typically Netsupport into the servers I work on, or I use the blade center management console's remote control.
The main campus's servers take up two fairly large rooms rather than closets. The server room also houses the network's backbone, so there's quite a bit of equipment in there. Still, there's plenty of space to move around in. Things don't get cramped until I get into the server racks, and that is more of a poor cable management\containment issue than anything else. You would think that if a rack includes cable management arms, they'd make them sturdy enough to hold all the cables that the server needs. This is not the case however, it is apparently too logical a notion to actually occur to the manufacturer.

I made spinach and ricotta gnocchi last night and had some cheese that needed eating in the fridge. I used it to top off the gnocchi. You'd think that after 10 years of being lactose intolerant I'd know by now not to do stupid things like that but oh no. Spent from 2am until 5am in the bathroom alternating between bending over the loo and sitting on it.

On the plus side, it meant that my fat intake for yesterday ended up being a lot less than it was!

Not too sure if I like this new pair of shorts I'm wearing. Besides having an appearance of being dirty, even when fresh out of the washer/dryer, they're a cat hair magnet. :bad:

Weeeell... :p It's not the phone that died, it's the sim card apparently - so my entire phone book is pulverised.
There was a storm, trolleys were down, had to walk across town to the bus stop (and wait for it about 45 mins).
This last exam was the one I liked best - and fared worst at it.
In all the rush I didn't get to go shopping for some shiny new books.
And - that cloud apparently followed me home and is now above the neighbouring city, looking quite menacing and throwing lightning around.

OTOH... no more exams. You're right Magister - life is *not* gloomy. :)

Weeeell... It's not the phone that died, it's the sim card apparently - so my entire phone book is pulverised.

Been there, done that... never had the problem with any iDEN SIM, though...

And speaking of iDEN... I called T-Mike saying I wanted to jump ship to the competition, and those nice bastards had to offer me a deal. Fun to see them bending over to keep my buisness. If this was a perfect world... on second thought, it's Rated-R, and better stay in my head.

Work was surprisingly uneventful this week. Well, except for that 45 year old (word I can't use here) who was hitting on me. Excuse me while I go scrub my brain with Pinesol and a SOS to wash this image from my mind.

I get that a lot on holidays. Currently my sleeping schedule is screwed up so badly I'm going to sleep at 2am and waking up a 1pm.

I wanna get back into shape, but it's soo depressing to start running again when you can't go as far as you used to. Once upon a time I'd go 3-5 miles a day... now I think I need to work up from one :(

I can still run a 5:30 mile tho, but anything more and I'm gone.

When I used to be fit (a looooooooong time ago) I used to run as far as I could then walk until I got my breath back and then run again. It's suprising how quick you build up your distance. However, you do look like a bit of a prat.
