Nothing more need be said.

Much needed update

Although the title is right, insofaras I haven't done it in a while, there is nothing to talk about. At all.
And yes, I know insofaras isn't an actually word, but I do so love to run words together that should or shouldn't, depending on how fast I'd say them in real life. Insofaras, nevertheless, omgwtfbbq, the works. You get the idea.

The main reason for nothing interesting? I play WoW. My hunter is now wearing a curtain. It's awesome. He got annoyed at the lack of hunter loot dropping and so ripped up a curtain hanging in the Shade of Aran's section of the library and walked out with it around his shoulders. Silly cow :P

Anyway, moving on...

I'm bored at work, and when that happens little things set off memories.
Like seeing etc set off a memory of my friend yelling at me for saying "Excetra" instead of the correct "Et cetera", which is what 'etc' stands for. And yes, he was right, but it seemed like such a niggly thing to complain about, and I illustrated this by saying "Fair enough, but 'et cetera' is wrong, too."
"What do you mean?" He asked as he pulled his loot out of the back seat of my car.
"Well, et cetera is basically using latin directly in ones speech, and if that's the case, then it should be pronounced 'et ketera' for true accuracy." I said, matter-of-factly. I get rather smug about my schooling sometimes.
"Why?"
"Because the 'c' in latin is pronounced like a hard 'k'. If they used the ess sound, they would have written with an 's'." I put my stuff just inside the door and returned with alacrity to keep the conversation moving.
"Huh." He sounded genuinely surprised, like he'd just learnt something fascinating. "But it is a dead, foreign language being brought into English, so it can be expected to change a little what with our flexible rules of pronunciation."
"Yes, and since we are brought up hearing 'excetra' due to speech speed and volume it is commonly accepted and recognised as such."
"I know, I'm just saying it's wrong." I locked my car with the remote and wandered inside with my friend close behind while still talking.
"And thus our points collide. But fair enough, I shan't us the word for a while at least to save you the trouble of my lazy language."
"Thanks."

This conversation isn't exactly verbatim, but the basics have come across. That and I get to use words I haven't used in a long time. Yay :D
Have you had similar dealings with people before? I feel bad for the english teachers and students out there who have to go through this thing constantly. Sometimes. :P

Man I'm boring.

Hopefully things will pick up and I'll get to inform you about more interesting pursuits.
Until then, heres another claim to geekdom:



Yerp. My life is soo exciting right now. OH well. Onto the holidays!

And again.

Yep. This time I hit 9609.75m :D
No, no screenshot for you.

Man, this competition thing is so much easier when you're doing it alone :P

Stumble and its craziness continued

This program keeps me from dying at work.
Herein lies the next thing I have played with thanks to Stumble: Nanaca Crash.

If you know what I'm talking about, then you probably love the game since you bothered to remember it. If not, here's some information. I usually play from here, but the updated one is where I got my high score of over 8000 I believe (and not over 9000, which irks me).
Oh, joy. It hasn't saved it. Bollocks.
Oh well, I took a screeny of my over 7000 score. Yes. That poor bastard flew over 7 kilometres. XD

I find it addicting, more so than it should be. Trying to get as far as I possibly can and continuing to learn what each thing does through trial and error. The info page isn't as helpful as it seems.
One day I'll hit my magic mark of 9000, and then Vegeta will fear me.

That is all.

Be sure to read *all* the fine print.

If you're going to be a smartarse, make sure you don't fall into the "selective reading" trap.
Still, I think it was worth the 5 quid. :)

Here is a supposedly true story someone found regarding exams at Cambridge University. It seems that during an examination one day a bright young student popped up and asked the proctor to bring him Cakes and Ale. The following dialog ensued:

Proctor: I beg your pardon?
Student: Sir, I request that you bring me Cakes and Ale.
Proctor: Sorry, no.
Student: Sir, I really must insist. I request and require that you bring me Cakes and Ale.

At this point, the student produced a copy of the four hundred year old Laws of Cambridge, written in Latin and still nominally in effect, and pointed to the section which read (rough translation from the Latin):

"Gentlemen sitting examinations may request and require Cakes and Ale".

Pepsi and hamburgers were judged the modern equivalent, and the student sat there, writing his examination and happily slurping away.

Three weeks later the student was fined five pounds for not wearing a sword to the examination.

Huh. I knew it.
