It now tells you off if you try and quote yourself. Can anyone see the level of emails suddenly going down? :D!
It also doesn't bother to store the email if it isn't actually to the list. However, it does this a little inefficiently; it reads through the entire email (Extracting the 'to:', 'cc:', and 'from:') before making any decisions about whether it's worth actually reading; there is one exception, which is the above "Quoting yourself" scenario (that is decided during the initial run through).
Glee!

Today was good.
Lazed around in the morning.
Listened to Joseph And The Technicolor Dreamcoat, which I haven't listened to in like five years. Remembered almost all the lyrics, and realised I'd been misinterpreting what was said on a couple of lines. I really need to convert that tape to MP3. *edits To Do list*
* Watch Doctor Who
* Watch Spicks & Specks
* Read PC Authority
* Read the SIGCE journal
* Read River of Blue Fire
* Play some more Zelda; yay boss fight (argh)
* Relearn Java (Somewhat. Yay simplistic.)
* Maybe learn PHP/ASP
* Write Chris.exe
* Convert Joseph And The Technicolor Dreamcoat to MP3
When the tape finished, I packed up and headed in to Uni.
When I got there, it turned out that the Smash tourney had been re-scheduled to tomorrow. But the LAN was still on, so I dragged out Tristian and tinkered. He certainly doesn't have the capacity for games, but I had my external hard drive - yay stealing random files.
I enjoyed it, but by around 4 o'clock the noise was starting to get to me and I was zoning out seriously. I stuck around till about 5 o'clock, before heading out. (I forgot to pay my share, but I'll probably be heading back tomorrow afternoon after dog training.)
I hung around in the ProgSoc room for a while, catching up on RSS feeds and reading LiveJournal (I forgot to check Image Heavy emails, but I can do that tomorrow I suppose), then headed home.
When I got home, I spent some time tinkering with the loungeroom stereo set up. My mother got a new computer the other day, which came with a 4.1 speaker set; unfortunately, she has so little interest in sound for her computer that even stereo is kind of excessive. So we had this massive speaker set and no real use for it. Thus, my mother had amitions of getting rid of the massive (and awkward) speakers in the lounge room, replacing them with something easier to maneuvre. However, none of the components are compatible with multi-channel sound (what comes of buying the cheapest available in each category, I suppose).
But today, there was this gadget that the guys were passing around - three headphone jacks one side, two RCA jacks the other.
Mm: Where'd you get that, do you know?
E.G.G. Chris: Um... The XBox, maybe?
Mm: Brinton? Do you know?
Brinton: Why? Do you want it?
Mm: Yes.
*Brinton plonks it into Mm's hand
Brinton: I don't know what that does, but... Three to two?
Mm: That's all right; I'm not sure either. But if it does what I think it does, it'll be perfect.
Brinton ...Okay.
So, I hooked the headphone jacks to the speakers and the RCA jacks to the DVD Recorder. And sound came out of five speakers. :D! *feels accomplished*
And I'm now sleepy again. I hope that those three cans of Coke don't keep me awake - I've been getting to bed at one o'clock, which is probably why I've been zoning out.

Today was dog training.
Then I got a message from Dedney suggesting lunch with him, Hailey, and Chris.
My response was something like "Okay, but I need to do some study at some point."
I didn't really get much study done (a little before they turned up), but it was good fun. I hadn't seen Dedney or Hailey since early April, so it was nice to catch up with them.
Before we left, I showed Dedney and Hailey The Fairies. The look on Dedney's face made it worth the purchase price all over again.
We went to some Chinese eatery in Maroubra to eat. They shared a deal for three; I got some spring rolls and a Coke (wasn't overly hungry).
Then we went to stickybeak at Chris' place. Amused at the number of computers on his floor - about four cases, I think, and some fairly large number of scattered hard drives that he was trying to decide what to do with.
We then played a game or two on Chris' Playstation 3. The first one, some fairly standard FPS or other ([Something]: The Fall Of Man) will likely give me nightmares if I remember the details that long. Then it was some driving game in which we seemed to spend more time exploding the cars than actually moving forward.
...Rar. I should go put a jacket on, it's cold.
-Mmaster
EDIT: Quotes:
Dedney: Yeah, I'd been meaning to organise something with Chris for ages, and finally I said "Let's do lunch". And then I realised we'd be going past your house, so I messaged you to find out if you were free.
Mm: ...You did tell him, right?
Dedney: Of course. ...Nah, we were thinking of setting you up for a blind date.
Mm: The fact that were already know each other is irrelevant, I'm assuming?
Dedney: That's why it's such a surprise!
*Dedney is watching The Fairies, looking absolutely horrified
Dedney: ...Wait. You bought this? ...You gave them money? That's like funding terrorism! Now they can make more of it!
*Dedney rings Chris
Dedney: Chris, can you come and meet us in the car? The ladies are saying it's too wet out.
*Chris gets into the car
Dedney: Why don't we get out of the car and pick a restaurant?
Mm: Because it's dry in the car.
Dedney: [Some subject or other] is such a bludgy subject. You just need to bulls**t a lot.
Mm: I'm really bad at making things up.
Dedney: No you aren't.
Mm: ...
Dedney: See? That's your problem. "Glaring stare" doesn't make for good essays.
*Dedney spoons some rice onto his bowl
*Mm giggles
Mm: It sinks!
Chris: ...What?
Mm: It sinks! It starts all big, and then it collapses! :D!
Hailey: ...Because gravity is such a source of hilarity...
Mm: Hey, you're talking to the girl that starts giggling when she walks down stairs.
Dedney: Point taken.
Dedney: That's it. Hailey! Out of the car!
Hailey: You're forgetting, you've left your stuff at my place. One phone call, and my Dad will lock you out of the house.
Dedney: Oh yeah... Well, it's a good thing I've got your phone...
Hailey: But I've got your phone.
Dedney: ...Oh. Well, they're just clothes. I'm sure I can manage with only one set of clothes...
Hailey: If you figure out how to shower...

Then, this evening at dinner...
* Dad and Mm go to the bar.
Dad: I'd like a bottle of white wine, please. ...And I suppose she'd like a Coke.
Mm: Yes, a Coke, please.
Male Bartender: Schooner?
Mm: Yes. ...Unless you have the bottles?
Male Bartender: We have the bottles.
Mm: Well, make it a schooner, anyway - it's cheaper.
Male Bartender: Same price.
Mm: Yeah, but you get more for the price.
Female Bartender: You're a student, aren't you?

Shoulder Angel says: Are there any pirate Muppets?

I also bought Angels & Airwaves' We Don't Need to Whisper. And a replacement DVD burner. It has slightly slower read speeds, but they shouldn't be major enough to cause a significant difference.
...I didn't get much in the way of work done, but we won't mention that.

EDIT:
Marauder: Hey, CD! *Reads cover* "Angels and Airwaves"?
Mm: Yeah. It's the new group from one of the Blink 182 guys.
Marauder: ...
Mm: Don't worry, you don't have to say anything; I know my taste in music sucks.
Marauder: Well, I wasn't going to put it in quite those terms, but...
Mm: Hey, at least I get to the point!
Thing is, the music is most like Blink's very last album (the self titled/untitled one) by far - and doesn't really bear much resemblance to the 'sound' that most people associate with Blink. I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's deep, but it is much more well-thought-out than most of their earlier songs, and the backing track is pretty as well. |
