Re: Private picture repository

Unfortunately, my efforts to sell this idea to my family proved fruitless. :(

Oh well....thanks for contributing, guys.

Nah......just a rare variation on Marburg-nothing to get excited about.

I should have the photographs from my PE trip next week. My sister copied them across to my mother's laptop, so [provided I remember to take a flash drive home], I'll make my own copies then.

Private picture repository

I would like to be able to upload photographs to an online storage facility where only my family may browse and download them. I have been thinking about using either Google drive or Dropbox for this. I don't see buying something like an HP micro-server as an option. [unnecessary expenditure, we wou...

To an extent.......mashing and cutting implements are useful, but drilling holes in one less so. [In my opinion, at any rate.]

Re: StarPhoenix's Histrionics/Hissy Fit Thread

'Tis wonderful to have a boss who understands what you do, and appreciates what it takes. :-D

He takes a dim view of noisy offices too!

He is more soft-spoken than my old boss, and does not describe things he doesn't like or approve of using vulgar language.

Unless, of course, she used Words with Friends as a hint that she's friendzoning you. I hope not.
Friendzoning? Does that mean "let's be friends?"

That's all I want.

Re: How to meet the girl of your dreams

....and then she vanished, sans explanation. One day we were playing Words with Friends, the next......well ten days later she quit the game. I wonder whether she died, and the game does an auto-quit after a set period?

Re: English Spam Thread and General Rubbish

I'm still not dead.

I've been pushing myself to keep busy, watching my thoughts, and for the most part, steering the good ship Supertwit out of turbulent waters.

The psychiatric nurse attached to Beatty House told me last night that she thinks that I am doing well at the moment. :-)

Problem with something like that is that it's basically a never ending list? Immortality is required methinks!

Not if start and end points are defined. The book in question was published inside of time.
