Sorry. Brain faulty. I guess there are technical skills you can gett in coding. but what about design? Wouldn't that be more fun? Maybe psychology of learning... something to do with GUIs, or puzzles?

Don't know if it's any help, but my butcher got me a whole cow hip. Boiled it until the flesh fell off, and then gave that to the dog. Kept the bugger busy. Of course it was larger than he was...

WTF. I cannot physically look at that picture without smiling.

It's not a budget issue! Did you not notice her lack of voice is integral to the bloody plot? I think having to deal with hints is awesome. I was only annoyed that there were too few wrong options, so you didn't really have to think about what she was trying to say.

Good chops for asking, mate. But as I understand it games are rather like the film industry. You'd do well to sign up with some smaller studios and get experience that way, then apply for a bigger budget post. Could be way off. I don't work in games myself.

I should clarify that removing the office whisky is not an option. People who sit in offices without whisky do not work; they make work for other people.

No. We've always had a PC that sits offline. But there have been occasions in the past (usually after one or two office whiskies) when we've run a cable across and hooked her up to play games with another machine on site or remotely. I want to knacker that, but obviously not irrevocably in case we have to re-network it. I'm not overcompensating because we got hacked. I'm overcompensating because someone we know got hacked. Their procedures were far inferior to ours. But I want to learn from their mistakes.

Better than one who's explosive, surely? Thank you for putting that image in my head, Wals ka-SQUELCH!

Better than one who's explosive, surely?

Fair point. A little sympathy is also common, but not on this occasion it would seem.

I want it disabled beyond the point where I or my staff might re-enable it without giving it serious thought and effort. Hence hardware knackering.

And organic matter wants to decay? WTF, Gorgon? How would you feel if some self-appointed 'justice squadron' hacked your emails?

Is that even physiologically possible? Isn't it supposed to leak out of the nose? Sorry if this question seems to be tasteless, but I have to know! I would imagine it was more likely to leak out of your eyes. But ears seems artistically correct.

Is there some hardware to smash which will prevent a PC going online? I want it totally offline short of parts being replaced.

Hit by the Stratfor.com hack. No money lost (apparently), but big flap on. So Anonymous are now targeting the free press who disagree with them? I know the wikileaks types are chock full of hypocrisy, but seriously? They are nothing but a lynch mob with routers for rope.

Most officers on Imperial vessels in WH40k? Because that's a stirring example of clean psychologically healthy folks... Nothing wrong with staring into the Ehye of Terror until your brain leaks out your ears.

I can't get over this bloody weather. Christmas should not be held in shirtsleeves.

Whole family, bar me, slept through until midday. Normally they charge about like mentalists. I'm taking this as a massive compliment to my hospitality, food, and preparation of beds. For myself I'm beginning to get antsy as hell from no gaming, farting, or swearing.

Well, am inviting the waifs and strays around tomorrow. Friends on their own or away from home for Christmas. I miss the buggers after about a week not seeing anyone, to be honest. Family are all well and good. But (and maybe this is boarding school talking) your friends are your real family, I think. Family now taken over almost whole house. So am kipping in my office. I have a sleeping bag nestled up beside a filing cabinet. I love it. It's like camping, only awesome. I am incredibly tempted to move in permanently. For some reason I thought you'd said that you were inviting over waifs and strays to be buggered. I'm hoping that says more about you than about me.

I got this for Christmas.

That's why we have locks on doors here in the North. LOL. Yeah. My view on Christmas day is JUST family. No outsiders.

Just got back from midnight mass. Decided to drag the family along partly out of mischief and partly because when it comes down to it I am Church of England, from school and my role models. I don't take communion because I think it's hypocritical while I support the Army. But nice people, and all very friendly. Good message, which unfortunately I left behind. Something about the important bits, and not having a hollow christmas covered in tinsel but which left you dark inside and dark towards others. Am now emailing friends and family abroad, while we field calls from places where it already... hang on... it _IS_ christmas day. Enjoying a beer to wet my dry throat. Merry christmas, all forum and staff.

Last minute bimble to the shops. Got all the bits. Pretty decent TV on, plied all the goons with tea, and opened an excellent negro amaro red wine. Probably too much tannin for sipping, but when the leg of lamb with anchovy and rosemary and garlic emerged, went down a treat. Am now sending off festive emails to all, while the family finish watching Miss Marple on the TV. I was just admiring the leading actress Georgia Moffett, when I realised she's an ex-girlfriend of one of my friends. Lucky bastard!

This made me laugh like Muttley, from the wacky racers.
