  1. Embarrassing start to the week, locked myself out my account by typoing my password too many times.
  2. In the botanic gardens only to hear someone exclaim 'Oh. Look at the dasies!'
  3. @botherer Check approved applications as well, settings >> applications. Remove anything that looks suspicious/you don't use anymore.
  4. @Ms_Wire Queer is a catch all, covers anyone who feels they don't fit in to the conventional views of gender/sexuality.
  5. @kirrus Count yourself lucky, I ordered mine early March, and have an estimated delivery of 'before the end of June.'
  6. Finally rooted my phone and installed cyanogen mod. Can now pretend I've upgraded.
  7. Bank error in my favour apparently.
  8. Huh, odd transaction on my bank account. A credit though, but no indication where it's from.
  9. @TessStenson Luckily your male Indian counterpart works for Orange.
  10. Gah! American spelling of centre, I blame CSS for that habit.
  11. Wow, okay, all credit to Orange, they actually rang back. There has been no regrade, its clearly just the members center being a bit crap.
  12. Chasing up Orange to try and work out why they've regraded my broadband.
  13. Has anyone EVER had a customer services person phone them back when they've promised to?
  14. I brought a pair of speakers and a laundry basket this weekend, and I'm actually more excited about the laundry basket.
  15. Meanwhile, if anyone else recognizes it. twitter.com/JamesG/status/…
  16. Oh little bit of plastic, I recognize you but can't work out what the help you fell off. I know I'll remember the instant I throw you out.
  17. Torchlight II beta download taking ages. Suspect some kind of P2P throttling going one somewhere.
  18. First feedback on Torchlight II beta: odd choice of default install directory.
  19. And yes, I am unreasonably bothered by this. It's either a factoid pulled out of someone's arse, or I'm wrong, neither good.
  20. After all, if you were talking compression then you'd hardly multiply by the number of sperm ejaculated.
