Hi everyone. Not been around much lately. How is everyone? :)

Anticipating a kebab :)
Where have you been?

Anticipating a kebab :)
Oh, nasty. Do you know what's in those things? :nervous:
Where have you been?
Spent a week with my family, then went to Jersey for a week, and then I've just been sitting at home trying to pretend I'm not going back to Uni in 3 weeks and absolutely, definitely don't need to do a literature review for my research project before I go back...

Marinaded chunks of chicken breast?
I don't eat whatever roadkill donner "meat" is scraped from.
Hopefully I'll be catching up with GadgetMaster at the same time.

Is this attempt at self-delusion working?

Glad to hear it. You only have to look at those things through the window to know that you don't want to be outside them.

Not really. I have actually been doing some reading, but my Athens login is letting me down. That's a good excuse not to read any of the 38 papers on my to-do list!

How was the kebab? :)

Very good, though I found I've managed to get chilli sauce on my white shirt :-/
What are ye up to today, feller?
Just downloading half of OS4depot ;)

You need a chilli sauce coloured shirt :-) (or just keep wearing the white one and keep spilling sauce on it, and eventually it will adapt to its sauce-laden environment by changing colour).
What are ye up to today, feller?
Currently sitting in the garden researching low-profile ITX boards for a little project I'm planning. And chucking a ball around for the dog, who has been laid up for two weeks with a cut paw, so is currently going out of his tree as the bandage has just come off :-)

I'm getting into AROS at the moment, hence the research into the ITX board!
-
Ah. So, what happened to the dog?
I miss our family dog (looking bored in the avatar). I don't get to see him very much living away, talking him for long walks during home visits is really therapeutic. Not to mention good exercise, that bugger is as strong as an ox.
-

Some tosser decided it would be a great idea to leave broken glass in some long grass. Marvin charged in after his ball, and cut one of his pads :(

You need to get a puppy :)

Make sure you wash it at least everyday with clean water.
-
Oh, and how I am today,
I'm anticipating a hangover.

I can't. I don't have the time to take care of it properly, nor the space to give it and you either look after a pet properly, or not a all.
-

Yep, we're looking after him :)

Nothing has changed over the past month then :p

I agree 100%. We're very lucky in that my other half works from home, so can be with Marvin during the day. Any chance you could do the same?
-

It's pure denial because I turn this week 29, so the big three-oh is around the corner, and I finished my study and I'm a working man currently. I have to compensate for all these responsibilities I have as a grownup man now ;)

Oh dear... Denial FTW.

Congrats! How did you do?

Friends of mine advised me to get a cat, because you can leave cats alone during the day of work.

Thanks :)
My project was reviewed a 9 out of 10, so pretty good I suppose :)
Though getting a job was kinda hard, I got lots of replies, but they all were a bit reluctant when I told them I have Asperger. Thankfully, a company where I've done an internship before, were looking for programmers, and they knew what I'm capable of.

But cats are rubbish. No pet can provide the companionship of a dog.

You rock :afro:
(That is "rock" as a verb, not a noun. I'm not calling you a rock...)

If they can't recognise your skills, abilities and great personality during the interview, but have to use a label to decide whether they want to employ you, then they're not worth working for. You can do better than people like that!

Great! Is it the company you wanted to work for before, when you had already accepted a place elsewhere?
-

It all matters what kind of cat or what kind of dog.
And of course it matters how you are.
Look at how soft and gentle this cat is:

Yeah, but that's an exception. Most other cats look like this:

and pretty much all dogs look like this:
(http://cdn-www.dailypuppy.com/media/dogs/anonymous/4812/2008061550876_Curtis060108.jpg_w450.jpg)
The only exceptions to that are those stupid Chihuahua things, which I believe are the result of a cat and a dog both being inside that machine in The Fly.

God, is that all? As bummers (that's the melancholic meaning of the word) go, 30 is so overhyped.
I dreaded turning 30. Then it happened. And guess what? Didn't really feel any different.

Gollum!

That expression has puzzled me quite some years indeed, but I've accepted it that some expressions just do not make sense :lol:

Eh, no, that's another. There I couldn't find any vacancies. And the company where I finished my graduation project, had to lay off people because of the recession, so they were not legally entitled to hire me.
-
Gollum!
It has the funniest ball-bag I've ever seen.

Of course I know that ;) Just being overdramatic.
But still, I have to confess I don't live the life I lived when I was 23.

Good God, you'd be red raw after 30!

Probably got attacked by a cat...

*chortle*

What the frak is that thing?! It's clearly some sort of unholy dog/cat hybrid. Either a cog or a hat...?
-
rock 2 |rɑk| |rɒk|
verb

:afro:
Yes, but the thing that puzzled me is why to name a dance to the most inanimate kind of object in existance.
Ahh well, as long as you're happy where you are :)
Yes, very nice colleagues, 25 minutes cycling from home, and much programming to do. I certainly do not have much to complain. :)
-

Oh I see. Well it's probably a contraction of "rock and roll", which may be considered "hard" or "heavy" music, making it kind of analogous to a rock.

Excellent :D :D :D :D :D

It's a butterfly dog.
In the best condition they look like this:

But that's of course like saying every woman looks like Samantha Fox.

Oh, and also "rock" as a verb has another meaning, namely a way of moving. So that might be something to do with it.

Hmyes, but still...
Anyway it's the same thing with names. Why can people have the same name? If it was up to me it'd be custom to give a person a unique ID as name (well, together with a unique family ID).
It's just that people don't want to live and think pure ;)

If only the world were an SQL database :D

*sigh* indeed! :lol:
-
I tend to lose things quite often, and when I do, I often think to myself that if the world were an SQL database, I could just do "SELECT location FROM world WHERE object = 'mykeys'".
-
That would be bad.
Sooner or later, somebody would try "TRUNCATE world" or even worse "DROP TABLE world"
-
:lol:
That might not be a bad thing actually...

And that's why I always wear my keys on a chain attached to my trousers.

Well, today I did the following: UPDATE Person SET Hangover=0 WHERE Name="Eyso"

I can't possibly be expected to be that organised. At the moment I'm too distracted by working out whether objects in my house are symmetrical enough :nervous:
