Made the mistake of adding a recruitment consultant a while back when I was looking for employ, instant regret.

Has anyone noticed Youtube vids being shitty lately? Like stopping randomly in the middle of videos and not loading for ages?

So it's a Youtube thing rather than an ISP thing?

That's balls.

On a side note, I thought I was having a heart attack today, turns out I've bruised my 3rd and 4th ribs, the doctor was surprised to find out that I can't even remember how I did it. I feel clumsy

Unfortunately (?) no. Since the pancreatitis my diet has been pretty sweet so my poops are normal, no more satisfying "GET IT OUT" type poops.

I actually connected the dots to gardening on Sunday in bad weather. I was weeding a garden that had turned into a jungle, was pulling out weeds with my left arm and digging with right - some of these fuckers were stuck in there. They'd be little sprouts on top but have carrot like roots and be holding on for dear life. I heard a crack at one point but thought nothing of it.

Fucking hell man, life after 30 is tough Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to take my magnesium supplement and go to bed because it's already past grandpa mpx's bed time.

(I really need to go to a gym)

Obligatory new desk layout / "look at how clean it all is" photo

Studio Monitors were previously sitting on the Ikea Desk and taking up far too much real estate.


Also, This desk may well not be used for AutoCAD / work anymore and will purely be used for music production... squeeeee

did you check the stove?

Also, the random visit by the osh man in me says why for no height adjustable monitor?

I just did a Captcha that was like "Prove you are a human, capture only the butterflies" and then the little box had some birds and bees and butterflies floating around in it and my cursor was a net.

Whangarei at sea level is approx 26m further from the centre of the earth than Wellington.

This leads me to the only logical conclusion. We are better.

Apparently 26m is all it takes to turn a town into a shithole.

customer logs a job via email saying her 'ibook' won't show anything on the display. I assumed she meant macbook as i've had people call them airbooks, mac airs, mac probook, ibook pro etc in the past (evidently apples strategy of targeting people who give zero fucks about computers is showing).

Go to meet her in her lab and am kind of surprised to find it's literally an actual 2001 12" white ibook.

backlight is dead on the display. an easy workaround fix would be to just plug in an external monitor, but to make the story even more bizarre - i have one of these exact same laptops in the cupboard at my desk, so i set about repairing the faulty one.


all set for another 12 years of being an over priced piece of crap

I certainly can't think of anything else Whangarei could use in a promotional slogan. "Whangarei: higher at sea level than some other places."

Makes sense to me TBH. In fact I hope all of Affleck's roles are in movies I wouldn't watch anyway.

I woke up this morning, realising the depravity I have sunk to... I used to be anti-apple, rabidly so... Somehow, sometime along the line it all went wrong. Now I own; an iPhone, an ipad, a MacBook AND an iMac! Hi my name is Simon, and I have a problem!!! Is there an Appleholics Anonymous nearby?
