Depends. If there's other stuff to do, I can stay away from this thing for a long time When my internet was down for well over a month, I read books instead. When I bought other books (and the internet was up) I still stayed away for a long time.
At the moment I'm without other distractions so I spend a while on the computer. My computer also doubles as my TV and HTPC though as well, blurring the line a bit between what are "computer" activities and what I could do in my loungeroom instead. I don't consider a day watching .avi's of Scrubs in fullscreen, on my bed, to have been "computer time". *shrugs* |

I would like to think that staff would ban such people fairly swiftly too. |

Their music's fun. Nothing I'd generally go out of my way to listen to most of the time, but for a fun occasion, it'd be good stuff. Very upbeat, silly lyrics, etc. Just one of those fun groups that certainly don't take themselves very seriously. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Couldn't work out what you're talking about, but it seems this Axe stuff is called Lynx here in Australia.
And I don't like them. |

I'm looking for dinner ideas, so I'm wondering what you guys have been eating lately. When I plan meals lately, I seem to keep winding up in a continuous loop of the same kind of stuff, over and over.
So, I thought I'd ask you guys what you've been cooking and eating lately. And if it's something that you cooked yourself, a little bit of information about how you did so, so that I can try it if it sounds like something I'll like. Yesterday, I had spaghetti bolognese. My recipe for it's never the same each time (at least as far as quantities go... it's usually the same stuff), and it's probably not "traditional" bolognese, but it's simple enough and it works for me. I cook some chopped up onions and garlic in a big frypan with a little bit of olive oil, then brown some mince. Then when the mince is brown, I add some chopped, skinless tomatoes, some tomato paste, basil, oregano, thyme, some finely grated carrot and smoosh it all together so it's all mixed through. I usually add a bunch of cracked black pepper too. I also add a whole bunch of red wine, then I let it simmer till the carrot more or less disappears and such (not long), and all the flavors have gotten through the dish. Oh and somewhere in there I cook pasta too. And then I put the sauce on the pasta and put fresh parmesan on top Tonight I'm trying to make chinese style chicken and sweetcorn soup, and a chinese style bean curd and mushroom stirfry. I've never made either before so I'm worried I'll mess up, but I think it should be good. What have you guys had lately? Tell us about it |

If they want to learn, sure, but most don't want to / aren't able to, and that's why I tend to accept these site builder things and other general WYSIWYG tools. |

Personally, I prefer it more if a guy wears a low(or no)-scent deoderant to do the actual... deoderising, and then wears an eau de cologne for the fragrance.
I guess cause these Axe/Lynx things are all over the place, and they ALL smell kinda cheap to me. |

I just had the best sleep I've had in months and months.
|
I bought a new bed, and it's awesome. No springs digging into me, no weird hard lumpy bits or funny soft bits (I'm guessing the absence of pokey springs), etc, etc. So wonderfully comfortable, I slept so well. I actually feel awake today What have you had recently that's been awesome?

I discovered this by way of Slashdot. It's a disclaimer for the internet...

WARNING lol, I love it. Go internet. I can't think of anything they're missing... maybe idiots... not sure. EDIT: full version. Now not sure if they're missing anything at all... (edited by Tarale on 05-06-06 11:28 PM)

Originally posted by Alastor the Stylish Ah... yeah, moving is a depressing experience.... I moved earlier this year. Just make sure you plan everything out really well so it's not too stressful and you should be fine And label all your boxes with a COMPLETE inventory of what's in them (or as close to complete as possible) so you can find all your shit again. Good luck with it all.

Originally posted by [GGS I've discovered since that it's a parody of a REAL disclaimer for Nelson Rocks. And Slashdot wrote a Linux one that I thought was cute: Installing Linux is complex and difficult. Distros are halfbaked and unpredictable. Many books have been written about these dangers, and there's no way we can list them all here. Read the books. Reminds me why I use OS X, not Linux (restricted) |

In fact, it DOES do far more damage. This has only damaged some keyboard internals -- I've seen fried laptop motherboards due to spillage. Windows was not happy. And yup... keyboard still broken today, although some characters have improved. n now is only "nj", not "7nj" anjymore.... anjd my spacebar is back to normal!

Originally posted by Colin I know it shouldn't fix itself overnight. But it's remarkable that some keys work fine some of the time. Hey....wtf... that sentence worked. And so did this one. test... The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs Okay, that should theoretically be impossible. What the hell is going on? It shouldn't be able to just fix itself like that.... crazy computer.

I haven't rebooted, but it appears to have come good now?
|
Mostly. Oh well, I think I'm still getting a new keyboard tonight anyways. And a switch! Seeing as I realised last night just before bed that I have a fully-functional laptop too.... just no network connection for it. This is odd, this keyboard wasn't working all of five minutes ago.

(now at work with fully functional keyboard)

Yes, I could have immediately unplugged my keyboard, but out of a general dislike for that clicky piece of Microsoft annoyance, I left it to die. Excuse to get myself a non-clicky Logitech ergonomic keyboard, or even a less clicky Microsoft one. The keyboard's not done bad for being around the last five or so years and all the abuse I've hurled in its general direction |
