I must be brief, for now, alas, but in case anyone is interested, my project for the last 6mth or so was launched today at the Institute of Directors.
It is the SimplicITy Computer, a new, inexpensive, radically simple PC powered by Linux, aimed at older computer novices who want to get on the Internet.
There's been a fair bit of media coverage so far...

I mentioned a while back that Trevor McStay was coming to visit BME before heading up to the San Jose Tattoo Convention so I figured we’d have a little bit of a chat while he was putting my leg through the paces of getting a kick ass leg sleeve. Thanks to Trevor for being the inaugural interview and hopefully the next 6 videos we’re in the process of editing will be ready to go shortly!

I'm clearing away all my unlocked handsets, so I figured I'd sell one here ;)
( larger pics behind this cut... )
It's a Japanese Softbank 707SC Hotpink Flip Phone that's from Japan (bought in Hong Kong) - used for around 3 years now and there's no scratches, still works & in excellent condition!
Unfortunately I don't have the instruction manual, USB cable & utility software here with me, but if you need that I'd be happy to ask my mum to send them to you from HK.
It'll be just the phone (which comes with a screen protector that's already been fixed as well as the battery), the charger and a pink drawstring mobile pouch bag :)
Specifications here:
http://www.cell-phone-accessories.com/p
It's unlocked and works with any PAYG sim cards :)
I'd be happy to sell this for £35 all in and will be sent by 1st Class Recorded Delivery.

Hi all, I probably should have introduced myself before my first couple of postings yesterday, so forgive me if I do it now, a day too late. I joined this community (and also "all macros" and "dog macros") yesterday. I finally figured out how to use the lolbuilder on the cheezburger.com site a little under two months ago, and since then I have found adding silly captions to pictures more than a little addictive. ;) And it's great to have found somewhere other than my own journal to post some of the pictures I've captioned.
I'm editing this a couple of hours later, because I noticed on my friends page that this post apparently has a lot of empty space at the end. I don't know where that came from, and when I tried to get rid of it, the bottom came off of the picture I'd embedded. So rather than lose the caption, I left the empty space.
This problem of losing the bottom off of pictures I embed on livejournal is something that only started happening to me a couple of weeks ago. Prior to that, I'd had no problems with embedding.
Does anyone here have any ideas as to why this is happening? And what - if anything - I can do about it? (On the off-chance it's relevant, I have a basic account and - being a generally un-techy type with no real knowledge of html - I've been using the "rich text" option when posting.)
I'd be very grateful for any help or suggestions. Many thanks, and please accept my apologies for all of the empty extra space underneath the pic I embedded here today.

I've been trying to explain to the friendly dps in my guild that I'm not a paladin tank (for some reason they need this explained, despite my big furry butt in their face), and I know I read a great post on a (what I think was) a feral druid blog somewhere around that I would like to link them to.
Except I've trawled through what I think are the usual suspects and googled, but to no avail.
What I'm hunting for is a simplified explanation of druid tanking, explaining our abilities, taunts, and the way that we differ from other tank classes.

Wondering why you can't log into the game? Mr. Chilly knows why. It's because you spurned him. He was ready to be your bestest bud, and look what you did. You missed the deadline to get Mr. Chilly express-delivered to your mailbox by merging your WoW account into a Battle.net account. You had all the time in the world. You made Mr. Chilly cry. And now you can't even log in! Serves you right!Well, it's way too late to reconcile with Mr. Chilly, but you can at least get back into the game if you go and create a Battle.net account now. Remember that, aside from being forced to do it now anyway, this also conveniently organizes all of your Blizzard game accounts into one place, lets you re-download any game for which you lost the CDs, and, uh, has a neat menu, I guess. Just go do it so you can play.
Your mother and I are very disappointed in you.

Female college student on cell: Sorry, there was an incident. She was eating string cheese, and I told her she looked like a walrus. So she tried to smack me in the face but she couldn't, and I ran into the bathroom. So she tried to hit me with the string cheese, but I was like your string cheese will get all fuzzy. So she smacked me in the face with the cheese.

I'm levelling my fourth alt through Wrath content at the moment, and today completed the Wrathgate and the Battle for the Undercity lines. While I can take or leave the Battle for the Undercity, I love the Wrathgate line. Even after so many iterations, when Alexstrasza's drakes glide in to cleanse the detritus of battle with purifying flame, I have to admit to choking up a little.

Just an interesting note. I faction changed my hunter a few days ago, from a dwarf to a space goat (I love that shotgun auto shoot!). However, when I faction changed, I was given the hunter newbie quests again. I was a lvl 40, and I'm talking about those lvl 10 "how to tame a beast" quests.
I got 6,544 xp for each lvl of the Tame a Beast quest, roughly 30% of a ding off of those quests. Tame a crab, tame a bird, tame a cat... yer done! oO; I cheated! It was awesome.

I can't even tell you how this seemed to take forever. It's like life was doing everything possible to keep me from working on this thing!! Anyway, finally, I'm finished with part deuce of what I've come to call the NElf Anniversary Project. I'm still not impressed that it's the best thing ever. But that's probably because I've been obsessively drawing chain link for the past week, haha. And I thought that armour was cool when I first saw it. Never again! Also, I kind of wish I'd messed up again and accidentally made the girl's skin blue like in the other pic, so the colours would mesh better, but alas. I guess I wasted that card on accidentally colouring the bike green, which worked out for tying the druid armour and hair to the rest. Not that I'm obsessive and picky.
Anyway, hope you like it. And nerd points for movie reference in title?
( bigger version and also the lineart )
For the record, yes, I'm still taking commissions, though there is a small line at the moment. Sketches and inks have quick turn around, but a full colour piece like this gets done whenever I can squeeze it in, which is why there is a bit of a price jump from just plain inks. Anyway, feel free to email me at link@zephyr121.com if you'd like to seriously discuss getting a pic of your toon.

*This is mainly for those who are suffering disconnects since 3.2.X*
(Summarizing this post in the WoW Forums who's source was this ElitistJerks post.)
1) Remove Recount-
Disable Recount Syncing (/recount synch) or disable Recount
(Ami: This was my issue, I switched to Skada and practically all my 25-man lag disappeared.)
2) Disable Blizzard Combat Log-
Right-click your combat log tab > "Self" > "What happened to me" > "Everything" > Click on each of those, and then click through each of the sub-tabs and disable EVERYTHING. Make it so that NOTHING appears on your combat log.
(Ami: If you run a combat log record for uploading to World of Logs, this will make it not work, so either have someone else do it or don't do this step, however, this is reported to be one of the biggest fixes, so up to you.)
3) Find out what addons from others are spamming you-
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addo
This amazing addon allows you to monitor addon message traffic from your raid members. What you want to do is to MINIMIZE this traffic. Many addons have secret "whisper" programs that we cannot see. They whisper other players in the raid/party for all sorts of information. The problem is, many of these mods do the whispering extremely inefficiently, thus leading to massive, MASSIVE spamming of your client with data.
Main one to look for is Gearscore. However, the author says he's improved the way it shares info and to make sure everyone updates to fix it. Several people mention banning Gearscore from being on during guild raids.
(Be careful: some addons like LibHealComm(X) have to do it, other addons like X-Perl and Carbonite and GearScore don't.)
4) Latency Improvment-
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/i
Lowers your latency by changing how your computer handles information acknowledgments. It's amazing. This is NOT an addon, it is a modification to your computer itself.
Install it, try it for yourself over a period of a few days. If you aren't happy, remove it. Make up your own mind. It won't break anything. Most people report a noticeable improvement in button response times, as well as smoother mob movement patterns.
(Ami: I went from ~150ms to ~30ms. Oceanic or overseas players see more significant improvements as shown in the comments section.)
I know some of you already know all of this, but I hope this helps anyone else who might be having issues. I myself blamed it completely on Recount until I stumbled across this earlier. Now I know that it was a combination of Recount, recording the combat log, and the raid leader and others having an old-spammy Gearscore.

I sometimes think I play this game just to take screen shots! So, I edited a few of my spiritmaster a bit ago and wanted to share. The colors of the game amaze me.

I ended up leaving my last guild since they weren't letting me raid. Found a new one (with a fellow wowlady, in fact). They are quite good.
And silly. And they let me raid.
In tonight's raid, this song popped up, and I figured I'd share. Dunno if it's popped up here before, but it's funny as all hell. Onyxia wipe guy never gets old.

I really need to get hold of a proper written statement so that I can make sure the format and language is more realistic, rather than sounding like one of my statements to a coroners court. What this hopefully shows is that the story is not going to be all first person/interviews.
-----
Personal report of Cpt. P. Almert, Bureau des Impôts 12th March 2011.
On the date in question I was commanding an armed fire-team at Jersey Airport. Our duties for that day were to provide a rapid response to any situation that required a less than lethal/lethal response.
I was initially informed of the incident by officer Tregourny, he had called for general assistance over the radio to the arrivals terminal. As we were nearby I instructed my team that we would provide this assistance.
On arrival to the scene I saw that a number of passengers were bleeding, in the confusion and panic of the public it took me approximately four minutes to reach officer Tregourny. He then indicated two people who seemed to be the cause of the disturbance.
The adult male had gained possession of an asp and was using this to attack member of the public, I later learned that this asp was issued to officer Hawes (deceased).
The adult female was attempting to scratch anyone who approached her, as I watched she removed a shoe and brandished it as a weapon.
At this time I did not see the female child.
As the scene was unsecured with large numbers of the public still present it was my decision to utilise less than lethal options.
Officers Ferruge and Halls advanced upon the two adults and with assistance from the rest of the fire-team subdued the two assailants with incapacitant spray and non-lethal blows and control techniques.
It was then I received a call from our control desk that another attack was happening in the female toilets of the arrival terminal.
As the rest of my team were still dealing with the two adults I made the decision to attend the scene on my own in order to secure the safety of the public. I knew that as soon as the rest of my team were free to assist they would make their way to my location.
I approached the female toilets with my issued incapacitant spray in my hand. From within I could hear the sound of a female screaming.
I entered the toilet and made my way to the end stall. It was there I found the female child biting into an adult female’s stomach. My instant assessment was that the wound that the child had caused was immediately life-threatening.
I shouted a warning at the child and she turned to look at me. Her mouth was covered with blood and in her hands she held viscera of the adult female.
As I prepared to use the incapacitant spray the female child leapt at me and knocked me aside, my spray was also dislodged from my hand.
I was knocked to the ground and the female child turned to attack me again. I was aware that this child had the chance of inflicting serious or life-threatening injuries to me. I was also aware that the attacked female needed immediate medical attention.
I then discharged my pistol into the female child three times, all three rounds striking the child in the chest.
I believe that the female child died immediately from these wounds.
I then radioed my team for assistance and called for immediate, urgent medical assistance for the attacked female.
I later learned that the attacked female died from complications of surgery.

I work in a grocery store doing price change, which is anything related to the prices of things or the labels on the shelf.
On Halloween my boss decided to put all the candy on for half off. I changed all the prices and printed out new labels.
The labels had the item description and the original price on top, and on the big yellow dangly part of the label it had the new price in big numbers. If you squinted, just above the new price it said 'Manager's Special'.
As I was hanging the new labels a very concerned looking customer approached me.
"Excuse me," she said, pointing to the small bit of text. "Is this price only for your managers?"
Why yes, miss. Our new advertising strategy is to show the general public all the amazing perks of being a grocery store manager. The candy sells much faster when it's cheaper for people other than our customers.

Hi ~ I'm new here. So I am not 100% if I am able to post this yet.
I finally sorted my 'comments' eMail - for some reason LJ comments were jumping into my Junk Mail and going unnoticed.
So for those who I may have commented in the past I shouldn't seem so ignorant now. Sorry. ;n;
ANYWAY !!
I am after a new Mobile Phone - a flip phone preferably with a camera of a good quality. I don't mind on the space - as long as there is bluetooth. I guess the majority of phones now days have all these features?
I have an o2 sim card - so I would like the phone unlocked possibly too ~
Colour does not matter as I am a fan of Japanese Deco Den. *U*
I guess it is worth the shot if anyone has a Docomo // Softbank - Japanese brand Mobile up for grabs?
( I'm going to Japan in the New Year, so I may be able to pick one up there. )
I'm a serious Impulse Buyer - so if anyone is a Fan of Japanese Band and selling some Merch or CD, Posters - whatever - I may be interested. ^^;
But right now I am really looking for a new phone witha nice camera quality for my trip to Japan. ^^
I hope this is allowed here. :<

This is my beloved mate's main. As you can see, he is nearing Level 80 -- the first 80 out of any of our characters, as a matter of fact. When he dings, I'd like it to be a special occasion.
He has also recently expressed to me a desire for one of these. The problems I have answering this desire of his are actually twofold. Firstly, not only are fully constructed 'hogs prohibitively expensive on the AH, so are all the mats. Secondly, my own alt on this server, Meleiriel, is a lowbie too low to effectively farm enough gold or mats to manage the purchase price of this extremely expensive object in the time it will take for my mate to grind those last two levels.
What I'm wondering is this: are there any Ladies who call Cenarion Circle their home who might be willing to work out long-term payment arrangement for the crafting of this beast? Meleiriel is a tailor/enchanter in the beginning levels but I'm perfectly willing to work out something in terms of private crafting trade/gold exchange/personal slave for Horde-side alts and mains. I'd say 'help me, WoW Ladies, you're my only hope!' but that'd be cheesy. I will say, if there's anyone who wouldn't mind working with me on this, do let me know! Thanks in advance.
