Hello World
It was Thanksgiving yesterday.
As a Brit, that means nothing to me, but I'm sure
plenty of you US-based folks stuffed your face with
a fantastically big thanksgiving dinner.
You lucky gits.
This morning I'm typing with cold hand, I'm
incredibly sleepy, and Bolton still has no snow, so
it's pretty much just freezing cold without the
good bits.
You're gettin' no thanks from me.
In the Shoutbox..
Spinal: "To the UK government - the best way to not
run out of social housing is to stop selling them.
People should NOT automatically be allowed to buy
their council after x years, they should not be
allowed to buy them at all!! No wonder there are no
longer enough to go around."
In the Mudchat..
Last week's big mudchat change did naff all.
The people in the mudchat didn't change.
Those who were whining and complaining, expecting
the mudchat to suddenly transform into an amazing
wonderland of happy chatty codey peeps, have been
bitterly disapointed by the realisation that it
wasn't actually anything to do with what color the
lights were.
Things That Got Done
Only two people bothered to do anything this week,
and even one of those did naff-all.
Well done, Mog! You win the "People who could be
arsed!" award!
What did you do?

MiniRant
Thumbs.db has nothing on the amount of random bits
and bobs that the Mac throws EVERYWHERE..
Every game has a hidden .app folder, every folder
has TWO .DS_Store files, smeg knows what they do,
and there's all these weird little hidden
".file.whatever" files everywhere that all hidden
away doing, quite frankly, smeg all...
Come back, Thumbs.db, all is forgiven!
