Azdeus Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 It might be because smartphones hate my skin, but I'm very much faster with T9 than my workphones (Samsung Galaxy and iphone). It's also nice to be able to actually put your phone in the pocket of your pants comfortably. I only really need a phone to call and text on in my private life. I basically wear carpenters pants at work, and then it's not really an issue, but wearing jeans and trying to get that brick in the pocket? If my boss didn't actively force me to use a smartphone at work I wouldn't touch it.

BruceVC Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 I'm overly excited today, one of my good friends from JHB is coming down to CPT for an Amazon partner conference tomorrow. He is going to stay with me and he loves Ribs so Im taking him tonight to this famous Rib restaurant. Then tomorrow night he is also staying with me and we going to go out partying where I can show him the numerous bars and cool eateries in the area I live in I am loving CPT but I miss my friends in JHB who I have known for 15-18 years so its going to be great spending time with him http://stickybbq.com/ "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

ShadySands Posted July 11, 2019 Posted July 11, 2019 Animal control showed up to my house today to return a missing dog which I'm assuming is the previous owner's so spent the last hour or so trying to track that person down just in case animal control stops looking. The person I got the house from was a flipper but I contacted him and the agent listed for the time the house was listed before that in the hopes they had his number or email or something and could get in touch with him. No luck tracking down the person themselves but I don't want to give up just yet. My dogs are my friends and I'd hope someone would put in the extra effort to see my pets returned to me. Other than that my new PC was finally completed last night so that's fun. I don't know what to play first even though I have absolute negative zero free time. So long sleep, even though I already barely knew ye. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21

BruceVC Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 I had a very entertaining evening with my friend last night, we went on a major pub crawl and ended up eating an amazing Tapas restaurant call La Parada. We shared multiple dishes and I had the best Beet Short Ribs I have eaten in my life...yes thats a bold statement but I genuinely believe it. I mentioned this before but its so convenient living in the heart of CPT because Im basically at the nexus of 3 major streets that have this plethora of bars and restaurants so we dont need to drive or Uber we just walk https://laparada.co.za/ 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Azdeus Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) 45 minutes into my workday and I've done all the things I need to do. Now it's a seven hour wait for things to do, it's highly likely that I'll get ordered to work overtime since a yard jockey colleague has "planned" to call in sick today. Not looking forward to it... Way, way to tired to be driving safely. Also, I've got a bad hankering for some cyberpunk pnp. We've played alot of Mutant Chronicles and D&D5e() lately, and while it's possible to do some light cyberpunking in Mutant Chronicles it's tantamount to WH40k so high-tech stuff is basically a big nono.

Raithe Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Continuing my long term project... printing out Sith Acolyte armour pieces. That.. is the eventual goal. Probably going to take 200-300 hours of printing to get everything done. Then fix pieces together, paint it with epoxy resin, some spot putty, sand it down, prime it, sand it, repeat a few times, then paint it all and fix up webbing and such to hold the armour together when worn. However, in the middle of printing out one piece from the thigh set of armor, 19 hours in , about 10 minutes before it finishes...the piece tips over and the final few layers get printed in midair spool. I'm pondering on whether I can just tidy that edge up, and play it off as battle damage once everything is painted... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
BruceVC Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 I have had a good and relaxing weekend, I had to work yesterday for most of the day and today Im doing some documentation and customers pipeline updates for 2 hours or so I also cooked some mince for weekly lunch, watched various news channels and some entertaining series on Showmax and Netflix.

majestic Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 I bought an XBone controller from Amazon that came with a faulty A button, so I sent it back and Amazon refunded the controller in advance. I had the refund added as a gift card to my Amazon account because I immediately ordered a second one. That was a month ago. Last Friday I got a friendly reminder that I should send the controller back since Amazon refunded it in good faith. Rifling through my order history I noticed that they received the controller I sent back but refunded the second order. The first order, the one that I actually sent back, reads that they're waiting for the return of the goods. I contacted their customer service and they said they'll look into it. Well... they now mailed me that they've cancelled the refund of the first order and are going to charge my credit card. Le sigh. Just mailed them and asked that they simply remove the second gift card they've given me. I wonder if that will work. So are they sneaky bastards trying to get a free loan worth an XBone controller from me or is it just incompetent help desks being incompetent help desks? No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
Lexx Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) It's usually incompetent help desk. I still remember when my energy company charged me for two months that I wasn't even living in my current house yet. It took a full year for them to finally do something about it and then *I* still had to pay a handling fee even though it was their retarded mistake. Really don't get why these people are so stupid at times, even though everything is clearly traceable.
