I know a few other people use TinyFox - did the latest update give you a really weird transparent and unusuable browser too?

OK, for my dissertation presentation I would like to apply the model I developed to one or more new cases. Only I haven't exactly been in touch with the world these past months, so finding cases is tricky ( Read more... )

Earlier today I managed to dump my 0.5 litre mug full of hot sweet tea over my MS Natural keyboard. And desk. And floor. And self. Urgh.
I might be able to clean and fix it, but that will take a few days. My backup is an older model of the same keyboard, which I like a lot less, and turns out not to work anymore. I am now using a horrible straight ( Read more... )

PC infected. Feck! I think there may have been a 'you must reboot to update AVG' today - which I did, stupidly, but AVG doesn't need rebooting I think. Then there was an authenic looking AVG popup that said 'this site is not safe' or however it words it. While I was in fact on a perfectly legit site I visit often. I clicked OK. It directed me to a ( Read more... )

Like, in the bottle. Not good!

Unhappy moment today as a loud POP! was heard from the wooden chest where the bottles live, and pink mead started to pour over the floor. One of the bottles of my C batch (blueberry melomel) had spat out its cork and emptied out. Damn! Besides it being a shame to lose 0.75l of what promised to become nice mead, I am ( Read more... )
