Re: Alternative to Photobucket?

Imgur gives less sense of ownership than Photobucket (or at least than Photobucket used to), but for sharing pictures on forums it's pretty much ideal.

Re: Happy Halloween

It does depend on the neighbourhood - at my previous house the only callers were intimidating teenagers and I often pretended not to be home on Halloween. Where I live now, though, there are a lot more families and it's generally small kids coming round appropriately supervised - such a different at...

Re: Happy Halloween

We only had a couple of knocks at the door (the first a mum with two kids, the second a group of about ten) this year. Fewer than the last couple of years but I think that was because we hadn't got a pumpkin on display so people weren't sure if we were joining in - actually we weren't sure if we wer...

Re: Leaving Internet cable modems on all the time?

Mine stays on all the time. My phone connects to the wifi, so if I want to use the internet in the middle of the night it's nicer not to have to get up!

Re: Oddworld Abe's Oddysee

Oddly (!) it's also free from the Humble Store for the next day or so as part of their big sale. So you can get both a free Steam copy and a free DRM-free copy!

Re: I haven't been online so much lately...

Thanks everyone! She is a month old today, still gorgeous and growing - currently she still fits into the flowery outfit in the photo but I fear not for much longer!

I haven't been online so much lately...

...and I may not have much time available for playing games (or for that matter sleeping) in the immediate future.
But I don't mind too much.
Manorites, meet our daughter Esther.

Re: Kristi from credit card services

Are you registered with TPS, Boobie? That doesn't cut out all the nasties (if someone's calling to commit an actual crime, breaking industry guidelines is unlikely to bother them) but reduced them a lot for me.
