Little Things that Irk You: Episode V

[k0pp0]

What? It's Wednesday! Three days to think of a solution!

Remote access a PC at home and vpn from there? Mind you, it depends on whether you need complete end-end vpning(e.g. for security).

Complete end to end vpn-ing. I work for a German IT company so ?ber paranoia is the name of the game.

Work won't let me tether off my BlackBerry either as it eats into my data allowance - which is for email. But of a joke really.

Hmm, well okay. A multi region blu and DVD player would be ideal though.

And my TV can play 8bit encodes of MKV/MP4 from a USB stick no problem, great feature that.

I want a multiregion Blu/DVD player. Sadly they're about ?200 for some reason.

Just need to find a player that can be firmware flashed for it. When I find one still in production I'll let you know wakka.

Just won an item on ebay (woohoo!), go to pay instantly by Paypal, pay by Paypal with my funds in my account, then I get this:

"your payment is being processed. If payment doesn't not clear then please try again later"

Eh? WTF is this?


I log in to my Paypal account to see WTF is going on, & find this:

"Payment unclaimed - seller hasn't accepted yet"

Eh? WTF is THAT?!!

That would be brilliant mate! Thanks

Gotcha. At the hotel I worked for their paid-for wifi had a special VPN mode you had to use. Probably not worth poking around in case they send these guys:

It may be, despite offering Paypal, the seller doesn't actually have a Paypal account yet associated with that email address *roll eyes*

the selfie craze is going mad and my wife's obsession with photographing stuff and putting on instagram....had to utter a sentence i think i have never had to say before.....please stop photographing your lunch

[speedlolita]

Depends how impressive it is. I got a big ass steak at a Weatherspoons recently and put a pic on Twitter.

I actually got quite irritated with the misses doing that - she used to take so long the food was going cold FFS. I generally eat 40% faster than most people unless it's a posh restaurant and I don't want to feel like I'm throwing money down my throat. Eating like a salaryman while I was in Japan ruined any etiquette I had. I will take a pic of food if it looks really good but generally I won't put it online, unless it's going in the food thread on here.

I dislike the name "selfie stick" but otherwise like the idea.

[randombs]

I only take photos of food I've made and only if it looks nice enough to show other people or give them ideas, like my bread crust pizzas.

As long as brunch exists, so shall Instagram.

[randombs]

I wonder if they've developed a symbiotic relationship by now.

I have an Instagram. I took a single photo(toilet door), followed a single person(gf) and had a single follower(gf). Then some random mate followed me and ruined the symmetry. Now I have 26 followers and I can't remove them. I guess they're expecting some mind-blowing photo which will never come. Maybe I should upload a photo of a man's bum or something? The search recommendations are mostly tits photos so it would be a nice balance.

Find a 1.5mm tip pen and put pen15 as the title.

Receiving a console I bought which for packaging was sent in a bin bag and a bit of tape. Some people.
