ha! My dad has some great stories. Like, the first thing he did when he moved out was buy a meat pie and shampoo (which she considered full of chemicals and bad for you). She's OCD as well. $20 says she's rearranged the cans into alphabetical order by this evening.

My shirts are in whatever order my girlfriend irons and hangs them up for me.

Am I the only one who meticulously organises their music into folders, file names and album art? I remember my HDD dying a few years back and it felt like my soul had been crushed. Never again. Double backups baby! Have a 2Tb HDD sitting at my parents house 400 kilometres away labelled 20/09/11. Very proud of that one.jambo said:
PC GAF HELP!
Should I get the Asus P8Z68-V LX or LE? The LE is an extra $20 and has front USB3.0 access but according to reviews on Newegg the LE has horrible onboard sound.
What should I do?

Yeah I'm only getting this level of service as she is currently studying full time and not working.
Once she is working again, I'll be doing all my own shit I'm sure. But I'm enjoying it while it lasts!

I know if my bf asked me to iron something, I'm sure I would do it, even though I can see its creating bad habits. =/ But due to various presents over the years, basically all of his shirts are now ones that I have bought..

I plead and whine and be passive aggressive until she decides that 10 minutes to iron 4 shirts isn't worth putting up with me acting like a little child.Choc said:
I still have to do all the washing and cleaning though.

I'm currently the 'house husband' whilst I'm at Uni, so I do most of the washing up etc. but I pretty much never iron. All it toke was to 'accidentally' burn one of her skirts and now she'll never let me near the iron again... 
On another note, as I'm putting Zelda SS on the backburner until christmas (so that I can give my full attention to Skyrim), I'm getting my Zelda fix from TP, which I never finished. Dolphin is the only way to play this now, looks awesome and I'm actually enjoying it this time.

lol I was sure that would have said, "so that I can give my full attention to Uni".Sutton Dagger said:

wat?
*mind possibly blown*
edit: me as well jintor. People are so stupid. 'DVDs dont do this' you dont need to maintain a whole bunch of multiplayer fucking servers for a DVD either
also
in the batman case i think its because its single player content. That does make it harder to swallow (especially as if you are not online, you miss out even though you purchase it, that in itself is bullshit for single player)

I can sort of understand it though, in terms of people missing out on SP content just because they aren't connected to the net. It's pretty shitty.

Take them out of the washing machine, put them on a coathanger and hang them off the curtain rail of a window facing the sun for an hour or two.Choc said:
Or put them on a coathanger and put them on the towel rack in the bathroom when everyone has a shower. Steam cleaned.

Don't cut my game up into pieces and put it behind a password just because you want some extra money (for preorders) or to force me to be online.
Work so far:
- Start up dev environment
- Get asked to write up a step by step guide on doing test builds for director as he is over OS for work related activities and wants to do some debugging.
- He reads said email, I have to upgrade / get it working on his laptops VM anyway.
- Lunch
- Produce a test build for the testing monkeys incl associated documentation.
- Test build failing due to the fact we have reached a major technical brick wall, code around the problem.
- Complete build.
Now sitting here with 25 mins before home time. No 'work' achieved.
Edit: Solution to ironing shirts. Just don't wear them.

Shit My Feminist Gran Says?Choc said:
Moe: So Lenny, let's say you pull a thorn outta the Pope's butt, and he grants you one wish, what'll it be?BanShunsaku said:
Lenny: Hmm, only one, huh? Well... I've always wondered what it'd feel like to wear something that's been ironed.
Carl: [whistles impressed] That'd be sweet. What about you, Moe?
Moe: Ah, gee, I was gonna say a night with Joey Heatherton, but an ironed shirt... damn, that's tempting.
I know, right? Though I'm guessing I have a smaller treasure trove than the rest of you. Most of my stuff that's gone is shit I've bought while impossibly drunk.BanShunsaku said:This. I've been re-downloading albums all day that I had completely forgotten I had purchased.
Which is awesome cos it means I can listen to The Mars Volta's Frances The Mute on the way home now
Qantas has come under fire from shareholders over plans to give chief executive Alan Joyce a 71 per cent rise while the airline grapples with industrial disputes involving ground staff and engineers.

Aaaaaaaaaaaahaha, Qantas is such a joke.

markot said:
is anyone surprised? the shareholders won't approve that pay at the AGM.
the Qantas AGM is going to be a shitfight and a half. Most of the shareholders are on the pilots side from what i read
because they want to protect the airline and its safety. Not pay. The pilots dispute is not pay related.

3-2-1 backup system FTW. At least three backups across two different sets of media, with one offsite. Actually I have four backups due to folder duplication on WHS but will be moving away from WHS shortly.reptilescorpio said:
I bring a portable HDD home from the office on the first Monday of every month, run a backup of all my stuff that I would have a fit if I lost and bring it back to the office the next morning.

But for some reason the pay is all that gets reported... I was thinking about writing an angry letter, but then I realised it wouldn't get published anyway.
But you don't play video games!Gazunta said:Haven't explored much no. Made sure the WB booth had Happy Feet 2 demo (yay!), got my photo taken playing said demo, and have spent the rest of the day demoing Rage to exhibitors and EB managers.
Did you do a Cammie and get killed by the first enemy?
Ugh, I remember when I was upgrading the drives in my NAS and there was a bug that, when initialising drives, it would swap the drive names/labels around. I carefully moved EVERYTHING from both drives to the one so that I could put a new one in. One new drive to be initialised, one with all my stuff on it. Even though I selected the correct one, guess which one actually got initialised?reptilescorpio said:
Still, once I came to terms with it, it was actually quite liberating.

I should start a list of questions that I should ask it:
How long is a piece of string?
If a tree falls in the woods and no-one's around to hear it, does it make a sound?
What is the sound of one hand clapping?
What is the value of pi to 50 billion places?

Yeah I am totally like this as well. I am always shocked to see a friend's itunes collection that's full of crap that is not in order, weird symbols in titles and artist names, NO album art, or just an entire list of songs labelled "track 01, track02" etc. Drives me nuts!

Hey Sutton, what uni do you go to?
I'm OCD about tags where tags are relevant. Otherwise, I just have folders nested in folders according to date, and then start a new parent when I decide enough's enough.
With decent internet, I no longer need to find anything. When desperate for a song the other day, I worked out it's actually quicker for me to download it than search my PC.
