  1. Back at Stuff (temporarily) after a year's hiatus; amused to be still getting PS3 review code deliveries.
  2. God bless solid-state hard drives. *picks laptop up off the floor*
  3. At Brooklands, where people went fast and hurt themselves. My new way of doing the same, foreground. twitter.com/FraserMacStuff…
  4. I like that British mini PC start-up Raspberry Pi list 'Will it blend?' in their FAQs. I really like that they didn't. bit.ly/sxVSA8
  5. Cranked up the tracking speed on my mouse and now I feel like the bloke off Limitless. Also: eaten half a big bar of Dairy Milk.
  6. @WiggoWiggo Ah, yes, I remember that being mentioned. Well, no doubt I'll be acting like one by the end of the night either way.
  7. @WiggoWiggo Thanks! Buying stuff sucks. Thinking of coming to the Anglers on Friday for a b'day knees-up. Will you be there?
  8. Birthday present decision made by Skullcandy Titans dying on me this morning. Only four months old, too, but bought in Oz. Fiddlesticks.
  9. If I had actually had an accident at work, I reckon I could watch Sky for days without seeing a related advert.
  10. @stuartmiles Thanks. It's good to be back. (Sort of.) (Looks at world map for the umpteenth time today.)
  11. So, back from a year off travelling, and now looking for a new job. First step: hitting up LinkedIn for the first time in a long time...
  12. Forming a plan to ride a motorbike around the Mediterranean. Currently lack money and motorbike. Early days...
  13. @The_Z_Factor Aye, although home on Tuesday. :/
  14. @The_Z_Factor No fear, Miss Z, I bamboozled them with my English-speak and got away. Like a Scottish Simon Templar, minus polo neck jumper.
  15. Just got in bewilderingly Vietnamese trouble after breaking a restaurant's fair usage policy... for tomato ketchup.
  16. Criteria for finding a bar in Vietnam: (a) sub-$1 beer; (b) whether the Wi-Fi has an IP blocker to circumvent the national Facebook ban.
  17. @MurdoMathewson Aye. Proof, if proof be needs be, that showing off and Windows 7 should never meet.
  18. So my PC just tried to remove a virus from someone else's USB stick, but also deleted all their travel pics. I ain't welcome here no more.
  19. @MicheleTweetsNZ @kelsom What, a drunk sunburnt Scotsman with a terrible $15 haircut? Alarming indeed!
  20. The Kindle wireless service hasn't worked all throughout Laos and Cambodia. Just in case you were planning a southeast Asian readathon.
