MeTa post: This guitar fights flashism
View source?

(there's a couple of scrapers on my profile page, but I'm not posting them here because they'll break...)

MeTa post: I've got a bunch of good mixes just waiting to be made.
Ooh pick me! Pick me!!

I think you're confused. We're not international... it's you that are international. I'm right here.

OK, I'm done.

(yeah yeah, no-one likes a smartarse... I got that...)

I am running quite late (on disc 2)... but will be ready shortly, and I felt I should point out that inkjet printers SUCK ARSE.

(and not in a good way)

Almost none?

Emu blood won't get through customs here.

While we're doing Ninja Tune updates: mine went out last weekend.... Though, as I have no idea how long post to the US takes, I don't know what that really means.

Also: due to aforementioned printer issues, some of the titles on a couple of covers aren't the best. If anyone wants the image files for the covers to reprint locally, just ask.

And yes, further thanks to godhatesmath for sorting this all out!

I've got Slybevel's (ta!), and 'er indoors just emailed to say there's a package from the US waiting for me when I get home.

Yay!

How's the same time next year sound?

Absolutely... I've already started making a themed mix...

OmieWise's has made it to Aus, carsonb... (sorry, that's probably bad news...) Quite an eye-opener for me...

MeTa post: Stealth pay marketing sucks.
As one of those posters:

My apologies for posting a game that has a 'pro' version, but I'm not a paying player of that game, and have quite enjoyed playing the quite playable free version. I didn't consider it a 'stealth pay' game, and wouldn't have posted it if I did - it's fairly upfront about the difference between the free and pro versions. But whatever - let the discussion begin.

Given the discussion, could some mod please delete my post, with my apologies?

It's the fault of the poster for putting it up there. Same as paywalled stuff.

Fuzzy Skinner:

Netflix and the Beeb do not attempt to summarise the 'best of the web'. The 'best of the web' is not included in that part which can't be seen by most of the people using it.

No-one is hassling Fuzzy Skinner, but now that we know that this is not BOTW, it can be removed.

Ubu: You really think Howard was going to go within cooee of Trades Hall?

I'd had him pegged as more of a South of the river type.

As to the job at hand: are we talking CBD here?

I just rang Workshop, which is a pleasant enough place, and they're open, but only from 6, rather than the usual all day.

Yay CBD. Crofts is good.

MeTa post: Ouch.
Sad fact is that it was a real-life friend who put me on to MeFi, and we do discuss these things in real life.

Is it too late to make this comment anonymously?

MeTa post: Can I ask you a question?
I concur.

Questions where the OP just wants people to agree with them belong in Metatalk, not AskMe.

Amirite?

MeTa post: Poorly constructed or blatantly inaccurate.
If someone is the sort of reader who reads this post and believes that the tenets of Magna Carta have been sold to a private corporation, as a result of this transaction, then that someone is too stupid to worry about anyway.

MeTa post: Slapping someone in the face a bit too much ...
This is a kid who is "high on life," intoxicated by language, trying to make his way in the adult romantic world.

Oh. A wanker, then?

MeTa post: You Tube Meta Data
>what purpose would it serve those who surf from blocked access?

It may inform whether they feel the urge to drop the link into something like vconvert.net, for viewing on their ipod on the train home.

Just a guess, of course.

MeTa post: Free beans! (for a price)
I'm impressed. Most of the crap ideas suggest in MeTa would just annoy the hell out of me. One that would kill the whole site is quite exceptional.

Two thumbs up.
