Forgot my damn skeleton key..

The Zoo has no llamas.

Brian

Was he actually searching for mentions of his username?

Myth- there is a llama in a small field about halfway along the cycle path between Hörvik and Sölvesburg. And a pony.

My knee is in so much pain. I'm to young to have arthritis!

On the plus side, I get to use a cane like my hero Dr. House.

Hugh Laurie is brilliant.

This is what happens from to much inbreeding?

Put the problem set up!

How the hell can you prepare for a class with no problem set.

He'll put it up tomorrow and I'll be absolutely sloshed.
They never seem to do anything in advance in this college, it's always last minute, no notice crap.

How strange. EDGE has just shown up for the first time in a few days [Green], and it seems to working. UMTS [Royal Blue] inte funkar right now.

Argh, wireless router, you are the bane of my life. I spend hours trying to configure you, and yet, you cruelly refuse to work. You sit there, blinking at me balefully, and refusing to connect me to the internet due to your own silent, mysterious grudges. Everything seems like it SHOULD be working, but nooooooo, you need to play hard-to-get. Passive-aggressive piece of Dlink ****.

Brian

Thanked, due solely to use of sentence "blinking at me balefully". Sounds like Marvin.

Boston

There's your chance baza, offer to set up the wireless router for a back massage.

Brian

Beast with two backs, eh?

Do you talk to your girlfriend in Shakespearian verse?

"I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none"
"Yea wha' "
"I can't be arsed tonight lov' "

Brian

Go to, woman.

Randomness

Rant: People who would trample over a sick child to get on public transport before everyone else.

Bitch: Nope

Moan: Rain obviously, I mean I don't think we've had enough this year at all. OK I feel a really bad joke formulating in my head. Agh sure why not? What do you call a poor weather system? A recession depression.

Some society is sharing people's details with third parties. For the first time this week, I've been receiving spam to my TCD address, which I have only ever given out for college purposes.

end script

This code is funny to me. The conclusion deriving from my funny "trying to be accessible computer-code" is that they might just spam every address under the sun and your address was not necessarily passed on.

That would be a silly idea for any society. Can I ask about the nature of the spam?

Awayindahils

I've finished my two books and didn't buy the other two in the series yesterday as I didn't think i'd like it that much. And now Im trying not to read the fanfics as I don't want to know what happens.

Feicin' not just buying all 4 at once.

As The Economist pointed out, some spambots target university servers. However, if the email was addressing you by name then that's a more serious issue [I got a spam email using my full name to my TCD address..]

Curse you for wasting space on my screen.
Tried

td.header_right_cell {

and

header_right_cell {

doesn't work.

REPSOC1916

My friend from UL rang me at 1:15 this morning drunk. I was asleep. I had been out the night before until 4am and I had one of the worst hangovers i've had in my life.

Oh and I read Moore McDowells pathetic defense of the government's budget in the Irish Times on Friday. What a f***ing arrogant twat. Same goes for his brother and the PD's.

I'm so out of practice with javascript it's proving to be rather difficult to figure out what that is supposed to do.

Cult is a nark for the fuzz. I remember when he was cool. I remember when he was 17.

It's stuff from UCD Ents and Tripod, not the usual Cialis/Viagra stuff, which is why I'd think it very unlikely to be due to blanket spam mailings. None of it has mentioned my name so far though.

Oddly enough i got a ucd ents email myself the other day. Could certainly be related. I defos never gave my email address to anything to do with ucd.

Brian

I heard someone else mention that they'd got emails from UCD Ents too, when I was waiting at the bus stop outside Trinity..
