@Naku: congrats! :hotjump: you'll get used to it, don't worry. :) And if you don't, you can still change it later i guess. :p
 
@those two above: Thanks for your nice words :)

Your nickname is like your penis. You get attached to it, but at some point you have to change it to another, just to make your life better.

:tickled: I would laugh out loud, if my back just didn't hurt so much.

I finally went to see a doctor this morning - he gave me a couple of receipts for some heavy painkillers and told me to rest for a week. That would sound good, if I hadn't already promised myself that I would finally make some progress with my graduation paper during this holiday and the following week. Now I can't sit at my computer for longer than 20 or so minutes at a time, before the pain becomes unbearable. Kind of breaks the work-rhythm. And trying to type anything sensible while under the effect of the painkillers is useless - they make my mind so numb that I could barely type my own name.

It's been ten hours since I took the first painkillers the doctor gave me and now that the effect has disappeared, my back is aching just as much as before. I'll take the second pills soon (it says two per day, but the effect of one is less than 12 hours - does that make any sense?) and go to sleep. Let's see what kind of dreams these pills give me - I surely hope no more Italian dwarves... o_O

@Naku: What you said about the penis is brilliant, should be put as someone's sig. Too bad i don't have a penis and therefore can't relate to the feeling. :D

@Villain: Hope you get well soon. :wave:
 
Ahh... Back from a hectic week in Madrid. It feels good to be able to follow what happens in this microcosmos, even though it always seems that the DT board gets more than its fair share of bad news. If anyone wants a report of what I did in Madrid, I'll give it as fast as I get back to work at Tuesday - that will have top priority you know. :D

Ingenius: I don't know if you've been unemployed before, but it isn't as good as it might seem, especially not after a couple of months. :( But you could always get a job on a building site - damn, I've never seen something even close to the amount of building sites I saw around Madrid! :yow:

Naku: Aren't you satisfied with your best friend? :huh: If you're thinking of doing something about it, I can forward some of the lovely emails that drops into my mailbox from time to time. :D

rahvin: I'm sure I'll dream about you soon. :bah: I've already been dreaming about Magsec and hyena. One ninja with a 47" blade and one ambitious and cunning scavenger. Only a misanthropic Italian dwarf missing, and then the trio is complete! :lol:
 
@Child: Yeah, I've been alternating periods at leisure with periods working... at leisure. :rolleyes: I mean, yes, I know it might be boring at times, but I'm coming to the conclusion that I wasn't made for work.


|ng.

P.S: Did you have fun in Madrid, btw?
 
NF: very damn frustrated, cause i just typed a really long reply to this fucking thread, and it didn't send. :'( the post was really long! and pointess, but i still liked it :( it was so pointless that i don't feel like typing it all again. i do have an urge to do so, though. :erk:
 
@ulla: That happens to me all the time when I create new threads.. +20 lines of text and it all disappears -> "time to rip and to rape."

NF: Freed one sector of Alma in JA2 today, the poor bastards didn´t stand a chance :D
No school tomorrow, me thanks you jesus dude :p
 
Naku and Ouaga: Two words for you: Mozilla Firefox
It keeps what you've written, even if you navigate off. Also, if UM goes offline for you at a certain time suddenly, it'll just flash a little alert window without taking you off the one you're writing on (unlike IE, which displays that fucking white error window). And it's simply a browser that should annihilate Microsoft IE off the face of the earth in the first place!

..fine, you want to be stubborn and/or lazy? I have another suggestion then: Get in the habit of quickly highlighting and copying to the clipboard (Ctrl+C) what you've written so far, right before submitting anything or clicking anything. If it's a long post, 'save it' on the clipboard a couple of times as you work on it, just in case.

Either way I'm sorry, I know how stupidly frustrating things like that are.
 
@macseg: Actually i´ve started to do that copy-paste-thing. And you eat your mozillas, they dont with my supercomputer. :)
 
@Ulla: You should type it again, frustration needs to be vented. Plus I'm damn bored and want something long to read.

NF: I'm damn bored and want something long to read.
 
What about putting a sticky on top of the board, saying something like "Warning! Ultimatemetal has a very short automatic logging-out time, so if you're planning to write a post that takes more than 5 minutes to write, we strongly recommend you to write it on notepad, then login, then paste it and post it, otherwise you're seriously risking to lose hours of creative effort"?

NF: Busy, as usual.

Alfred

Edit: sometimes I forget myself.
 
@alfred: my intellect is obscured by alcohol and i therefore cannot trace the origin of 'sometimes i forget myself'. i also know that in some 90 seconds it will come back to me and i'll want to hit myself with a hammer. you made me forget myself is all that i remember now.
 
You're in not-so-good company, hyena, since I can't remember it (myself :rolleyes:) at all. It's just been ringing in my mind for some reason. and yes, "Perfect day" has, too.

Alfred (supertasks?)

sorry to contradict you on this one pal, but if you check the box just beside your username and pwd fields when you log in, no amount of idle time will have you automatically log out, meaning that even though you appear offline after 10 (not five) minutes, whenever you click on the submit reply box, it gets you in again without prompts and - what´s more important - losing your typed text.
 
NF: Why is it that people don't tell me what's going on?? I don't seem to be told important things until long after they happen, or sometimes I'm given just the vaguest details. And these are things that affect me, at least indirectly. I've asked people, told them even, that I want to be told things, but it doesn't work. I have to keep asking everyone what's going on, and even that doesn't work, I'll usually just get the "nothing/doesn't matter/nothing important" crap in reply. And then if I do finally get told something I'll ask why they didn't tell me at the time, and the usual answer then is "I/we didn't want to worry you". And what an absolute steaming cesspit of disease-infested elephant turd that is. Do people HONESTLY think I'd be better off not knowing?? If the roles were reversed, wouldn't they want me telling them these important things that (in)directly affect them?? Do they not realise it's so much fucking worse not knowing?? Since then I'm only wondering what's going on anyway, and when you don't actually know what's going on it's so easy to build these things up in your mind and they become so big and you worry so much that it would actually be a relief to know the truth. Then at least you KNOW what you're worrying about, you know how bad things are, and you can act accordingly. So why the fuck am I still kept in the dark about so much?? I can't be that hard to talk to about such things. I really don't know what I've done to deserve it.

Wow, that was a rant. To sum up, I'm a little frustrated and I may be slightly worried about one or two things. :rolleyes:
 
NF: Gaaaaah!!! 7 hours left on paper, and as many pages to go! Blargh!
NF2: Like I'm the only one in the live chat again.

Also, I completely agree with you Rusty. It's remarkable how many times I've had that shit pulled on me, especially by the one I love.

~Kov. And she has such impeccable timing for the "I don't think this is working" talks...

Fuck.
