Re: AtlanteanTroll's Additional Tirade @ Atrocious Threads Random Banter #207
I need to get back to my old flat and pack the rest of my stuff... I really don't feel like doing it. This new room is too awesome and HUGE. Meh. At least I have two friends to help me move tomorrow before we play an awesome game of D&D.

Re: AtlanteanTroll's Additional Tirade @ Atrocious Threads Random Banter #207
*comes crashing in through the wall like the unfortunately strafed combat pilot*
Pahf! I finally finished writing up my main points for the presentation tomorrow. Took forever, because I managed to waste half of my day on completely different things, and then I had to write up 15 minutes worth of material in blocks of 1 to 3 minutes. 15 minutes is a good number, though, because that gives me ample time to improvise, and thankfully, I'm actually pretty good when it comes to improvisation. So even though I'll get one practice run at most tomorrow because my bicycle is still exploded, I'm fairly certain I'll manage this. At least if you give me a clock, so I can tell when it's time to stop talking...
Code:now: ADDI $t0, $0, 5 ! wake up hour ADDI $t1, $0, 24 ! wake up minute ADDI $t2, $0, 23 ! hour now ADDI $t3, $0, 8 ! minute now ADDI $t4, $0, 60 ! minutes per hour/seconds per minute ADDI $t0, $t0, 24 MUL $t0, $t4 MFLO $t0 ADD $t1, $t0, $t1 MUL $t1, $t4 MFLO $t0 MUL $t2, $t4 MFLO $t2 ADD $t3, $t2, $t3 MUL $t3, $t4 MFLO $t1 SUB $t0, $t0, $t1 GOTO bed ! yes, I know GOTO isn't MIPS. Deal with it bed: SLEEP $t0 ! I reiterate my point above

Adult happens when all the pieces of your life are not on the same time line any more. A kid says I am ten years old and knows what and where he is. He is in elemtry school and can save allowance but probably does not but does not pay anything for his house and cannot get to choose who lives in it. Kids are all together in the same spot in time. Adults are not.
I took this to a chat and made it the topic. It lasted for some hours. In the end someone had to add And those who have OCD.
Hello here Wolfbane! Please have a cup of hot tea. Yes it is too hot already. But this is a hot that ends quick and everything feels cooler and we do not have to wait for the sun to set.I have found a RL gaming group but I'm willing to meet other GitP people nearby.
Please send a PM or an email! _______ Tea served in a student cafe in Seattle

I think the forum overhaul drew the ire of the spambots. Our insolence and hubris has brought this calamity upon ourselves.

Re: AtlanteanTroll's Additional Tirade @ Atrocious Threads Random Banter #207
WOOHOOO!!!!! I've gots my interwebs back!!!
After two months of only patchy internet connection through the WiFi hotspot on my mobile phone at home, I finally received a confirmation email this morning that my internet connection is up and running.
Spoiler: Reference post from Personal Woes ThreadPhone and broadband troubles
I signed up with another phone and broadband provider after this, and happily waited the two extra weeks for the connection setup, as long as I didn't have to deal with Sky anymore.
As an aside twist, even if I told them to cancel the Sky subscription, I still got another 'confirmation' email telling me that an engineer would be out to hook up the Sky phone line a week after I'd told them to cancel it.
I got the phone working last week, and now the broadband has been activated, so I should be set for the foreseeable future.

I thought things had been a bit quiet on the Ku front--never saw your post in the Woes thread. Sounds like you're well shot of your previous broadband provider!

Re: AtlanteanTroll's Additional Tirade @ Atrocious Threads Random Banter #207
Yeah, I gave them too many chances to uncopulate the issue that they'd copulated up in the first place, and when they proved, time and time again, that they weren't able to do so, and didn't give a crap about trying to do anything, I decided that I'd just get rid of them.
My only issue at the moment now is that since I really want to watch Game of Thrones, and that's not available on freeview, I had to stay with Sky as my TV provider, but I shut down everything additional on the tv subscription, so I went from the full Family Entertainment package, including all the movie channels and the sports channels to just the most basic package. I'm sure Rupert Murdoch won't miss the additional £50/month from me, but at least it makes me feel a bit better not shelling out that kind of money for their incompetence.

Reference to nothing at all really. When I was 11(a whopping 12 years ago ), I needed a name for a PC for a game and my brother suggested it.
Well, it stuck and I generally use a variation of it when Wolfbane isn't available itself. As to the avatars, I've always liked werewolves.

Re: AtlanteanTroll's Additional Tirade @ Atrocious Threads Random Banter #207
Test your vocabulary.
Especially interesting for non-native speakers. A bunch of the graphs they have there are especially interesting.
The thing says "Most native English adult speakers who have taken the test fall in the range 20,00035,000 words." Interesting to see where you stack up.Awesome fremetar by wxdruid.
From the discomfort of truth there is only one refuge and that is ignorance. I do not need to be comfortable, and I will not take refuge. I demand to *know*.
So I guess I have an internets? | And a trophy. | And a music cookie (whatever that is).

34,800 here, which seems about right to me...some of the words in there were pretty darned obscure, and at least one I only knew because I'd seen it used in an OotS strip!

Re: AtlanteanTroll's Additional Tirade @ Atrocious Threads Random Banter #207
i got 24,600. which is apparently 3000 odd words higher than the median of my age group
i wonder what would happen if i input the same answers, except where it asks personal information
gonna go run tests with this thing and post the results soon
edit: apparently it makes no difference about the personal information, so that information is simply there to seperate the data, presumably, unless i merely didnt test it out enough
anyone able to tell me how exactly this thing actually works? all it did was ask me about 2 pages of words, then some personal information, and then it told me a number, but this seems wholly unreliable to me? sort of like an IQ testLast edited by Somensjev; 2014-06-05 at 10:56 AM.

Well, if Avenue Q has taught me anything...
Where exactly did you find a stat to compare you to others in your age group?
Anyway, 31,500. Pretty good (just about the 90th percentile for my age group), I imagine it'll go up even further once I finish my schooling proper.
EDIT: Anyway, it works as explained here.
