There's something something NAS drive has to show up on your network before you something something boot up iTunes something something.
I never really got this to work when I tried a few years ago and stuck with an external USB drive.
I always have 3 GAF windows open, one for Gaming, one for OT and one for AusGAF with the Live Thread plugin for Chrome.
I don't actually mind, Nadeo have always been great to customers so I don't have any qualms about the ManiaPlanet platform.
Hahaha!
And are your pants really that loose?

RE: The snapped belt, I have a way worse story...
When I taught English in Japan I used to teach kids classes. One day I was messing around, playing soccer in the classroom and I bent over to pick up the ball. My trousers ripped from my testicles all the way up to my arse.
The truly fucked up thing was that I hadn't put on underwear that day - and I still had four hours of teaching left to go.
I managed to finish up the lesson, pushing my ass up against the wall for 20 minutes, and somehow managed to climb up two flights of stairs holding my pants together. I went into the cupboard with a stapler and started trying to staple the arse section of my pants together. I got to the stage where I thought I had it fixed.
I walked out to my next class and as soon as I sat down. Rip.
Also I had staples jagging into my arse cheeks.
Between the next class I tried sticky tape. Same result. As soon as I sat down my pants ripped open again. Eventually, in the next break, I managed - via a deft combination of staples and sticky tape - to rig up the concoction that would stop my testicle falling out of my trousers.
The truly screwed up thing was - I had to cycle home.

My God Serrels, I'm cackling like an idiot here. Might be time to go home.MrSerrels said:
Also, are there now dozens of Japanese kids speaking English in Scottish accents?MrSerrels said:
Shite, beaten.
Sticky tape??evlcookie said:
Just get a fold back clip thing and clip the side (or both sides) of your pants.
I've done this before lol
Edit:
Oh wait I guess you mean you taped your belt together, that would work as well. For some reason I thought you taped your pants to your waist or something.

That sounds like a scene from Anime/manga/Japanese game with all the embarrassed grunting sounds every second

I HAVE PROPER INTERNETS!!!!!! THANK THE LORD!!!!!
Now does anyone have any tips to get ADSL2 up and running better? I basically copy pasted the login details my ISP gave me into the router and hey presto it works.

I hope there is a funny story to go along with this too!MrSerrels said:

You should have just let them hang loose like the boss that you are, Serrels. Those kids will have seen enough wang on their trips to onsens with their dads that they wouldn't've been the least bit traumatised by the sight of your gaijin-nuts.
Wait, Rise of the Planet of the Apes isn't a prequel to the Burton movie?Rezbit said:
Also, this doesn't beat Serrels story, but last time I went to the Easter Show, I ripped the whole front of my shorts directly beside the entire fly to the base getting into a ride and didn't notice until half an hour later when I felt a breeze when watching the woodchopping...
Thankfully I was wearing underwear and a friend had a coat that I tied round my waist until we got to the showbag pavillion and then I just held a big showbag in front of me for the rest of the day. We actually went to the golf driving range afterwards and I played minigolf like that too

Any advice on getting ADSL setup properly? I lived a simple life on cable. What is a line filter for?legend166 said:

The house I moved into has 2 phone port things. One in the entranceway and one in the back bedroom which I am using for a study. Both should run adsl the same right?jambo said:
I've got the phone hooked up at the front of the house and the modem out the back here.

Getting better. Had the filter on the modem >_<
Still room to improve though. Less than a kilometre from the exchange it certainly isn't adsl2+ speeds yet.
try the other rooms phone line. one could be a dodgy install. also keep the cable from wall to modem as short as possible.reptilescorpio said:

I get a third of that downstream and I'm on a Telstra Cable plan which offers up to 30Mbps. Only people in select suburbs of Melbourne and Sydney get those kinds of speeds.reptilescorpio said:

Ah thanks for that, I switched out the phone line for a smaller one just long enough to sit the router up enough for the WAN.Omi said:
I was lucky to be on Cable in Geelong for so long. Fantastic service down there, highly recommend NCable to all. Aside from the $380 disconnection fee they tried to sting me with for leaving half way into a 2 year contract (got it down to $200).AusQB said:
My... special... downloading program says it is up around 1.5-1.6mbps which is great enough for now. The real test will be once I get the consoles online and see the upload speeds.

$9.99 (so, $10) = 250 points... so $40 for 1,000 points.
Cash in 5,000 points = $5 voucher.
Cash in 45,000 points = $50 voucher, which is a $5 bonus.
...So, to get a $5 bonus, just spend $1,800.
Trackmania 2 solo mode is online only. I'm torn on that one, I will have to wait and see what it offers first before i go and spend $25 on what is essentially the first pack for trackmania 2.
I probably wouldn't have a major issue with online only if it was useful to me as a gamer, At the moment it's just a fucking annoyance.

I envy you greatly.
500m from the exchange.. speeds = 0!
still no news on when i'll have it ever.. hence my lack of posting in here recently or being on steam chat

Little guy had his first taste of daycare today. 10 months old and had not been away from both of us much. They go to the Uniting church who do a day care but it is only for 3 hour blocks of time for now. Picked him up at 4:15pm after work and all the old people were gabbing on about how cute he is and how he has a beautiful smile and how he never grizzled once. When I grabbed him he was blabbing at the other kids as if he was saying bye. Seemed the happiest tonight that he has been for ages, just enjoyed being around some other kids. Plus the missus got 3 hours to herself to organise the house a bit which will lead to less nagging! Win win. Only $20 for the 3 hours too.
I can't possibly explain how nice it feels to have internet again. Almost as good as the moment my son was born or the entire first play of CMI.

Oh snap! First reply always wins! You are a top bloke Vook. If you were on Steam I would gift you a game.Rezbit said:
