OV9

Nice end to the weekend - recently the better halves cat (Jimmy) went for a long walk and never came back, some six weeks ago now. :cry: Today, took the missus to a foster cat home to have a look at a lovely, chilled out one year old ex stray. So hopefully she will have fun kitty times again soon. J...

I think the Mondeo needs the aircon regassing, and a new DMF would do it no harm but it far from needs one.

And the cd changer in the boot can be a bit flaky (they all do that sir)

Otherwise, he says, tempting fate, it's bob on.

Eat me, bitch.

Just realised that I could audio book the shit out of a few books while I'm traveling between Leeds and Herts.

Brilliant.

Yeah, we've been making that joke at his expense for over a year, he still orders it...I think he enjoys it.

In an interesting twist to the day, a colleague in the office was arrested today, rumour mill suggests for child sex offences.

On the flipside, he had a psycho ex, so I'm not making assumptions.

So that's odd, at best.

I hate to break it to you guys, but PMs probably work here...

In here, one chap gets a 'protien blast' from one of our regular friday lunchtime takeaways, which is lamb chops, chicken, etc in a nice spicy coating.

He then gets chilli sauce, and a naan.

This is all combined into the greatest poor mans burrito ever seen.

And no, it's not me.

That was what I meant, but I had some fucking decorum about it.

If it were pared back to line drawings/posterised that'd kinda work.

Honestly though, just a reasonable font, flipped, would work just as well and require a lot less fiddling on behalf of whomever does it.

Yeah, we lost that one too.

Anyway, the edit on Ep 17 is on.



So, only a couple of months till it's released

Honestly, most stuff by Stephenson is well worth a look.

Anathem is a bit dense, but very satisfying.

If ever a book rewarded persistence, that's the one.

Yup, that's definitely worth it.

The whole series (The Baroque Cycle, IIRC?) is very readable and a lot of fun.

The Expanse just started its third series and is again looking excellent. Ah, good call. Must check this out, I'd forgotten it was back on! FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Got reminded of this by the (really rather poor) Netflix film that came out, and decided to rewatch it. Netflix splits it into...

Ooh, PNG header, and what font is that?

Matty, later tonight:

I posted this on the FB thread, but it bears repeating here: on the subject of the OV9 logo, it probably ought to be freshly drawn rather than blatantly nicked and reversed. We don't want issues with the new forum for a minor bit of copyright infringement. I thought Lawyers and Legal people were bl...

My plan for the weekend: Today: Do lots of dull work bollocks, then Buy something nice for the missus to make up for being a blithering bumblefuck last weekend (nothing malicious) Spend the rest of the weekend chilling out, chase some work stuff, do some testing of work stuff, etc. Nothing exciting ...

Should have just fucked it off for the night and wanged it in an iFrame mate.

Good work!

It's funny, but the demise of the old forum I think has made us stronger as a community, odd though that may be to say. It’s just human nature innit, following every great disaster communities get stronger. Yeah, look at how we all teamed up when you joined. I mean, mostly to pick on you, but still...

I suppose we can look at the options - other commenting that FaceyB was more mobile friendly have a point, so it'd be interesting to see what the current flavour of the month is with desktop-suitable, but mobile friendly forums. Things like the ability to upload images direct from the camera etc, I ...
