Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day

[Snagglebee]

Candish is my mom

and I have a father, probably myself.

+/- eBay Support is weird. They said online that their hotline may take 5 minutes in their queue but I can leave my phone number online and they'd call me back. I did that and exactly 1 second later my phone starts ringing. I pick up, and I hear background noises of other eBay workers in background talking FOR 5 AWKWARD MINUTES. Then suddenly I hear a "Hellooooo?" and finally I respond Hi! and finally I get to talking.

And also I will make love with the next one who posts here.

+ Got WiFi working on my Raspberry Pi 2

[Master]

Hmm, I'm assuming you're using a wireless dongle, or did they add WiFi in the Pi 2?

- There's stuff I want to do, but exams and Uni aren't letting me
+ I've still learnt a lot during this first year, and it'll come in handy when I get round to doing stuff

[Harpic fraîcheur]

+ I've got a printer (including a scanner)

You still need a wireless USB dongle – no built-in WiFi.

+ I've got a printer (including a scanner)

Nice! I wonder what brand/model have you got.

[Master]

Business as usual then, I don't have a dongle, so I've had to connect via ethernet.
Ahh, all-in-one printers, I remember when they blew my mind when I was a kid, now, you barely see scanners on their lonesome, they're always with the printer.

[Xenon]

Hehe, I remember when my dad bought a scanner for the family back in the early noughties. Opening the lid and looking through the transparent base at all the mysterious technical bits was a beguiling experience for me...

Canon Printer MG6600
It works very well.

+ So, Seder was lovely, as I'd expected, it was really chill and great to see everyone.
-- Utter burnout when I got back. UTTER burnout. Didn't sleep, on a pretty dire low, plus I'm coming down with something.
+ The candad is an adorable muffin~

[Harpic fraîcheur]

Is it your dad?

- I'm not sure x3

[Jewish Candy]

+ 'It' is indeed, and therefore your grandfather!

[Shrooblord]

Glad to know my presence seems significant. But for now, just for now, I'd prefer it if people didn't address me by my real name here.

Ah sorry. I mostly do it either jokingly or because I want to give you a random nickname based off of it. Won't happen again.

+ Had a really good past couple of days. Feeling great.
- Still have a headache since Monday. Calling my GP in a few minutes.
- Gotta study for my next exam. Had a bad grade for one and the other I'm pretty sure I botched also, so feeling a bit down about that.
+/- It sort of motivates me to get at least this one right!
- ... it's Quantum Physics. So... yeah. Good luck on that.

+ It is nice to know
- PluMGMK isn't active anymore D:

It's alright, it was a pretty recent revelation.

+ Had a delicious bowl of spaghetti and mushroom sauce.
- I put too much faith in certain people, but all-in-all I'm alright with the role I end up playing. It's better than being them.
+ I managed to create a simple command-line RPG with my newfound coding ability today.

[Shrooblord]

Ahah sweet. So it's a text-based adventure game? Making progress then. Day one: calculator. Day two: RPG. Day three: THE WORLD

[Snagglebee]

- ... it's Quantum Physics.

Ugh. It's like getting to know how to drive a bicycle. Once you understand it, well then you will understand it

oh shit dood. Hope you get your head sorted out so you can study to your full potential!

[Zikken]

+ The icons, I don't even know what to say, they are beautiful.
- Hiccups.
- I have given up trying to sleep at appropriate hours it doesn't seem to work.
- I don't come here as often as I used to, boo...

What is it with German people and just getting it? My German friend says she understands it, my professor's German, you get it. What genetic advantage do you have over me-ee-eeeee??

– Wasted time reinstalling Raspbian & OpenELEC (my Pi was in a reboot loop because the microUSB cable I was using was too short)
