BruceVC Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I've had some really exciting news. Next year in January I have been invited to a technical conference in London around the software I support. And my work said its fine I go because we have to pay for the flights and accommodation. So I'll be taking 3 days leave after the conference and staying in our family flat in London. So I'm off to London again next year 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.

Enoch Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Got called into a teleconference at 4:30 this afternoon. I normally pick the rugrat up from daycare at around 4:15, but this was a time-sensitive matter, my boss was unable to attend, and the daycare stays open until 6, so I ended up working an extra hour+ (which put me us in much worse traffic for the ride home). Anyhow, it turns out that [details redacted for incredibly slim potential for personal identifiability]. Oh, and they need this by close-of-business tomorrow, my immediate supervisor will be out until next Wednesday, and none of the folks above him are yet aware of just how dangerous this could be to our organization. Gonna be a fun day! I'm working on developing a solid hangover in anticipation, just to ensure that I'm at my best.

Gorth Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Took out both my TVs to the backyard and shot them in the neck. Two new Sony Bravias in da house, the 50" one has been set up. Going to deal with the 60" one later. One for upstairs and one for downstairs. No new computer until next winter it is, then. You picked a *tv* over a computer?

Tigranes Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Lisbon is a decent place. I love how the pedestrian pathways have been tiled. Today's plans are to sit in this ****ty conference a few more hours, then go find Pidesco's house armed with a giant horse head.

Malcador Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Took out the serious winter coat today, kind of overkill for the weather usually but was a godsend last winter. At least there's sun out, I might just leave the office and go stand in it for a couple of minutes. Why has elegance found so little following?

Gfted1 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Completely redid my fireplace. Took out the ceramic logs and log holder thing, swept out all the lava rock and silica sand, replaced the gas feed to the burner and then put it back together. But instead of replacing the logs and holder we went with 1/4" fireplace glass rocks (copper and bronze color) and I installed a mirror finish stainless steel reflector on the back and sides. It came out awesome and the reflector really throws a lot of heat back into the room. Now I just need a new bear skin rug for in front. /giggity 2 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Whats the point of a fireplace that can't be used as a fireplace. I mean aside from the fact that you don't need a chimey, why not just put in another radiator. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

I mean aside from the fact that you don't need a chimey, why not just put in another radiator. Its a real fireplace, it just burns natural gas instead of wood. That's why the original logs were ceramic, to last forever. Wood burning fireplaces are for chumps. Waaaaaay too much work.

ShadySands Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Last day of work before a two week vacation. Not doing anything next week but the week after I'm going to head back to good ole southern AZ for some real life Wasteland action. We have an electric (boogie woogie woogie) fireplace and we love it. It has a heating element that we never use but it does all sorts of neat flames and can even make a crackling fire sound EDIT: Also trying to plan a trip to see the wife's side of the family around New Years but they are spread out over the Baltic states and Ukraine and Russia. Problem is we don't have much time to get visas and her family in Russia doesn't want to come into the EU because I guess they are having a really ****ty exchange rate at the moment. And nobody wants to go to Ukraine. This trip may have to wait until next year Edited November 14, 2014 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
