Raithe Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Turned up for the Computing Forum that was today, which was meant to be a group of hte senior lecturers having a discussion with a bunch of students about what works on the Computing degrees, what doesn't work, what engages them, what goes wrong, etc.... Of course, for various reasons, I was the sole student there. So I got to spend an hour with the lecturers walking me through each of the units I do and talking about the good points and bad points of the course.

majestic Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Was without interweb after my cable modem died after almost 20 years of faithful service. The guy at the service point barely believed his eyes when he saw the thing. I also took the offered cable package upgrade. I now pay less per month for four times the bandwidth (in return I lost the second public IP I had until now, which I no longer need). =) Iirc, landlords (and tenets) are only required to provide 30 days notice. Here in commie land unless you initially agreed upon a fixed term a landlord cannot unilaterally terminate a tenancy agreement at any given point unless the tenant is in clear violation of the contract or represents a danger to the building or other tenants. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did. Modern democracy is: the sheep voting for which dog will be the shepherd's right hand.

Same here, while under lease. An interesting thing can happen here regarding leases though. Lets say you sign a 12 month lease. At the end of the lease you will usually sign a new lease or move, but sometimes the landlord will allow you to stay on a month-to-month basis. That means you keep living there but are no longer under the obligations of a lease, nor the protections. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Hurlshort Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 That is the same way it works in California, most leases revert to month-to-month when the lease ends. Given that I was renting from a guy and not a company, he only re-did the lease once, so we were typically month-to-month. It's a pro and con situation, as a new lease typically comes with a higher rent, but it also gives another year of stability. I'd love to sign a longer lease, but those are rarely offered in these parts where rent rises so quickly.

LadyCrimson Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Ever go through one of those phases where eating is just too much bother and you're never hungry to boot? That's me the past few weeks.

I would have none of that and started eating like a madman. Only gained 5kg. Reverted back to not eating much. I'm eating 3 small portions per day. On the plus side, while I did already lose a fair bit of weight over a year ago, I haven't been this weight since I was 25. Sadly not being hungry doesn't also include motivation to do huge amounts of toning/muscle exercise, so I still won't be wearing a bikini like I did back then. Dealing with mother's will stuff. I mean, not officially, I'm not the main Trustee, but still legal stuff to deal with. Which I'm sort of avoiding/procrastinating. Don't care about wills. But guess I have to still "do something" regardless. Maybe I can sign something to the effect of "I don't want anything, just leave me alone." Enjoying the rain this weekend.

Hurlshort Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I've got about an hour before my first race, a sprint duathlon. It's like 40 degrees outside, so hopefully I'll warm up fast on the run. I have no idea what I am doing in the transition area. I am just trying to mimic everyone else.

Bartimaeus Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 That's weird. I had to make sure that wasn't the same picture that I took that I have saved on my dropbox when I played through it a few months ago. Nope, mine's higher quality, but close, though! 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
