Coffee Shop Forever, It's time to kick bottom and drink coffee! Options

That's odd, Revan. Did you try the one marked as Direct Link? That's all I can think of honestly.

Anyway, my exams start at wednesday, so I'll slowly work up the stress now.

[milanius]

Well, that was a textbook example of unnecessary nervousness. Everyone at the new job is OK, the atmosphere is loose and light, and the guys have decent taste in music, too. Job is not hard at all. Our main boss there [my ex-neighbor, friend of family] is just as cool as everyone. I'm going to enjoy this. <3

The only bad thing today was working in the vicinity of too many great AMD processors and GF8xxx cards... I nearly drooled a few times on them. Oh well, in several months, one of each will be mine, MUAHAHA.


Another thing - here's a little ray of sunshine for Zarrexaij and everyone else that's feeling the stress:

A what a beautiful ray of sunshine, Milanius and I am so happy that your story ended well. I think I feel that you are finally where you should be doing what you love most ... drooling .. I mean, working with computer hardware. How often have you mentioned the same here at the forums? Often that I remember and I forsee you messaging us from gargantuan supercomputers that you've built for yourself in the future. All good, Mil, very very good.



To Metal Mallet and all the others with final exams and not enough time for study .. my heart goes out to you. I remember those days. Do your best, try to make your essay as interesting as possible .. both for your sake and that of the professor's .. think of the tedium of how many he/she's got to read .. and maybe they'll overlook it being a little shorter than prescribed. I once turned a series of Q & A on an exam into a short story form just because I was bored with so much studying and the prof gave me a A+++ and a comment of "wow, this was refreshing after all the papers I've been reading". Not recommended with all profs of course.



Glad you will soon be home to see your cat & family Minuqe. You sound like you've enjoyed yuor trip but it is getting nearer to Christmas and I'm sure you'll want to be home then.

Lord Revan - the image has to be small & within so many pixels or measurments horizontally & vertically. If it doesn't fit - I generally keep reducing an avatar with Paint program until it is accepted. Some sites resize naturally.

Evewn with the direct link it will give me an error about "that is not a valid file extension." If I use any others it will give a "No avatar was selected."

[minque]

Ahhh, my sound-device for ipod is a wonderful invention...I'm enjoying it immensely!

@Revie! I will go to the fanfic section right after this post....I'm sorry to say I've not been there so much lately, not reading or writing...shame on me!

@Ibis! Yup it will be sorta nice to get home...if I'll be able to load my things into the car that is....gah I've really been on a big fat shopping-spree!

@Mil! I'm soo happy for you and your new job! I wish you all luck you can get...and what a lovely sunray..mmmm

Oh and I'll keep my fingers crossed for all you who have exams coming up....you'll all do just fine, I can feel it, you're all so clever and intelligent so....

Yes this trip has been just great, I will miss the solitude the fact that I can do whatever I want to, without having to ask someone or adjust my doings to others..but ok...it will be nice to see my folks again...

Heh..but in january I will be back here again for the second part of this great project..YAYYY

I swear, the school board administration is a bunch of avaricious homicidal bastards that deserve to be disemboweled and castrated/splayed.

We had school today, despite the ice storm that hit us last night and despite the fact they knew another would hit us today. Everyone around us who was not part of our district was out. Anadarko was out. They're fifteen minutes from us. Amber-Pocasset was out, they're less than ten minutes away from us. Did Chickasha Public Schools get out? Nope. That's not even the entire cake. Less than half the teachers showed up, and less than tenth of the student body (out of slightly less than 900) showed up, too. BETTER YET, the power went out. And stayed out. For two hours. Not just ours, every single school in Chicksha. Did they let us out then? Hell no. They wanted their bloody funding. So I went through the entire school day bored. By the end, most classes had less than three kids in it. Pathetic. And guess what? We don't have school tomorrow.

I don't cat juggling know how that's supposed to make up for the cat juggling time those people wasted. The time we were in the cold.

[jack cloudy]

Revan, the only last thing I can think of is that it is an invalid file extension. The board accepts gif, png, jpg and jpeg. I use jpg.

That's all I can think off. I'm going to make myself a christmas avatar and sees if it accepts it later today. If it doesn't, there might be something wrong with the board rather than your pic.

...must your school/town/people/state resemble so much my own, when I was young?

As for the time in cold... they probably wanted kids to get sick. SO that doctors would have something to do and pharmaceutic industry would profit. Yep.

I should hire you to go on business trips for me. I've just come back from Munich, and while I love the city, I just detest having to sleep in a tiny uncomfortable hotel bed and drive five hours there and five hours back.

[Zarrexaij]

We didn't have school yet again.

I was bored.

[milanius]

I should be sleeping, damnit. But tomorrow is supposed to be a slow day, although the season is nearing and that means lots of crazed rednecks who want lots of PeeSee's for their brats

Thank goodness my colleagues are such oddballs and loose crew. <3

Going to take my A+ Exams next Thursday. I have a slight problem. I only have a driver's permit, and it's required that you have two forms of identification, two with signatures, one with picture.

I'll ask the teacher about it.

Am I worried? Well, sorta, but not really.

[Lord Revan]

I think I know why I can't post my pics........ (Dramatic pause) .......... The links are too long, by the time it starts adding the file extenion it only gets to "J." Is there a way to change the link to be shorter?

[Zarrexaij]

What image hosting service are you using?

I know photobucket allows you to rename images on site.

[Lord Revan]

I'm using photobucket actually, but I can change the direct links code?

[Zarrexaij]

I believe you can, but right now I don't feel like looking it up to give you specific directions.

[milanius]

Revan: did you try tinyurl? It might help you: www.tinyurl.com

Zarrexaij: health card, perhaps? [I have no idea how it's called or if you even have those in US, but I'm talking about a small card that we use for ID at public hospitals]

If that doesn't work, there is probably something else you could use with your signature you could use with driver's license - which, I presume, has both your signature and picture.



It's snowing outside, nice & slow. It's cold, but at least the snow will last a bit. I have to remind myself to drive more carefully.

[canis216]

Threw a new graphics card into my PC, so now I'm running Oblivion, finally. Barely running it, but still.

[jack cloudy]

Revan, you could always shorten the pic's name on your harddisk and then reupload it. That's my preferred method in this case. Though then again, my names tend to be utterly short anyway.

[Lord Revan]

I never used a hearddisk, I just uploaded stuff from websites......
