    To those in the Northern Hemisphere, stay warm; Those in the Southern Hemisphere, keep cool. Those closer to the Equator...well you're probably used to the temps you get. :)

    i don't need to worry about Bubby waiting for me to get home this storm. don't have to worry about shoveling a doggy potty area.

    *hugs*

    thanks

    hoping his spirit is still with me, i still greet him "sweety i'm home". 8 year habit.

    Happy memories are worth keeping hey :)

    I'm going to try to make some Indian curry sauce tonight :)


    curry should warm you up :)

    Going for the asploding mouth Oscar Mike Golf quick pass the water kinda sauce hehe :)
    +1 *hugs for empty Bubby-sized gap in life*

    Missing Skiriki and Teh Loachy too (,_,)...

    Also, for cooling down 'curry-mouth', recommend a glass of milk, rather than water. Alternatively, a nice bowl of cucumber raita (extra yoghurt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cucumber). $0.02c (^_^)d

    The old whaling towns are great to visit but demanding to live in, remote and stormy and dry, very very dry with treacherous currents and cliffs and this whole cave system thing going on underground.

    Peppers, curry, pretty much all "hot" foods are metabolized as alkalis. If the burning sensation becomes a bit much, anything mildly acidic can neutralize the burn. Foods containing lactic acid like dairy products are often served with spicy dishes for the purpose of controlling the effects: sour cream or cheese, for example. My favorite would be ice cream. :lol:

    Complaint: No ebot notices again.

    Winter wonderland here, but finally it stopped and is sunny. Now comes the brushing and shoveling.

    Ordered myself a CD copy of Civilization II and two of its expansions - "Test of Time" and "Fantastic Worlds".

    Was a bit of a payment hassle at first since it defaulted to an expired card of mine for some reason, then took a while to get the payment method switched to my newer card - which I had to enter for each of the three packages for some reason *huffs*

    I've been told CivII won't run on Windows 7 without some tweaks or something, but hey once I have the discs I've got all the time in the world to figure it out :)

    There's carnivorous plant monsters in Test of Time?

    Parrots are notoriously dumb birds. Don't know whether this storm is going to break over us, pressure dropped and the clouds are awful black but there is a stiff wind off the bay and godrays in the sky. Heh typical Melbourne weather this time of year :lol:

    Complaint: I downloaded a free addon for a program for Windows XP. The file is in .tar.gz. Huh? I never heard of people using .tar.gz with Windows. Now I need a free program to decompress the .tar.gz file.

    Edit: Arg! The file contains the source code for the plugin. So now I need to learn how to compile the plugin?? Geez. I did not find a binary (.dll ) file. The readme file says:

    (plugin name) requires gcc 2.95 (or better) as the C++ compiler

    Edit 2: I found the binary files for Windows 32 bit. Why did the website hide the link?? Talk about bad website design.

    No problem, TAR it is a unix TapeARchive file with GZip compression, whatever the latest and greatest unarchiver is will decompress those :) Oh you did all that, is just coder stuff :)

    I copied that to Google Translate. I think I broke it. :bug:

    Yes, the website placed the link to the code at the top of the download page. The title to the link was something like: "Download the latest version." There is no mention that the .tar.gz file is the source code. There was also no mention on which links or directory on the FTP server has the compiled binary. Ugg.
