Yeah a 1p cut is ridiculous considering prices have gone up about 25p in the past year. So another two weeks and the 1p will be back anyway. Why did they bother?
That was good fun, only ever played the demo back in the day.
I don't know what the issue was, this was in and working but it got ripped out for the 360 version at the last minute. Sony seem way easier to get on with.
I know we don't have a formal arrangement but I have paid you money on more than one occasion for your services. I am happy to agree to something more formal, but that is up to you. I don't charge my friend to host the little website I made for his business, so don't think I'm making any money from this, I'm helping him out in the same way you help me out by giving me webspace.
Perhaps it was our mistake for his livelihood to be so reliant on services with such an informal arrangement.
Thanks for the update, I do still appreciate your efforts. I can't complain so long as you are attending the situation, I appreciate these things happen and you're not some large company with mass redundancy waiting in place.
Correct. But that was for an hour or two. It's now been 24 hours since my site went down and the site for my friends business (which I host on Franky's package), which currently (like me) has no email access and he's sat at home waiting for jobs to come in so he can earn money to pay his bills. We're going to migrate his business site to a more reliable server as soon as things are back up because he can't afford downtime of this magnitude.
I could login via FTP last night but that's down again too, so an update on the situation would certainly not go amiss.
Sites were up 5 mins ago but web services seem down again now?
Emails can be received again though...

Yes, we're both at Eutechnyx working on the next NASCAR title. There's a thread for it lurking around off-topic.
When I first met him, he spent 2 weeks slating iRacing management and physics. After a couple of months, it's about 50/50 between that and normal conversation. Man clearly needs to vent.
How exciteable I was: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=423#post423 
Also, fun to see I was chatting with Richard Towler almost 6 years ago, and now I work with him.

I get the impression the low end earphone marked has moved on a lot in the 8 years or so since I've made a purchase from it. At the time, the Sennheiser MX500s were supposed to be about the best you could get, and while better than any other earbuds at the time, they were still shockingly awful compared to anything half decent.
Well unless you're willing to knock down walls to avoid the square room problem with low frequency reinforcement and bass nodes, you're mostly limited to acoustic foam, in the form of wall and ceiling panels, and bass traps.
As I pointed out in my post, I have some full size headphones too, and they certainly represent better value for money. They have different uses though...
I use my open back headphones at work, where I need to hear people calling for my attention, or the phone ringing, and need comfort for extended listening. I use my IEMs on my bike, while jogging, at the gym, and potentially rock climbing, where I need them to stay in, not get in the way, and block out distracting ambient noise to drop that all important noise floor. I used to use some cheapy Sennheiser earbuds but couldn't make out any music if I was in heavy traffic, or if I was cycling fast thanks to wind noise.
You're comparing apples to oranges there. And for the record, home hi-fi is way more expensive if you compare the high end of that to the high end of portables. There's more to buy too, for example my next hi-fi upgrade will be room treatment to cure echo.
I can't get over people happy to spend £200 on an mp3 player, but only spend twenty quid on earphones. My mp3 player cost a lot, my portable headphone amp was £70 or so, and I think it's normal for the speakers to cost equivalent to the electronics in home hi-fi, so why not apply that to portables too?
I spent more than that on my IEMs. With a good seal, they sound like full fledged closed back headphones, and block external noise well too, despite being tiny, and somehow they have three drivers in there. Comparisons with high street ear buds simply aren't meaningful.
You pay a premium for the size of course, my low end Grado headphones are sonically superior at half the cost.
The trick is to clip the chord somewhere close to the top of your neck on your clothing. That way the constant tugging on the chord won't pull them out of your ear. I can't use my currenty IEMs for jogging as, unlike my last pair, they didn't come with this feature. I will soon get inventive with a clip though.
We're just about to make another change that gets them a lot more competitive too. They can give Richard a good battle at a fair few tracks now.
Most likely.
Crazy, this wasn't gender inequality, it was just recognising the fact we actually are different (statistically). Why should infinitely more sensible young women have to pay because stupid boy racers keep crashing their pimped out chav mobiles?
That's complete marketing bull. You never completely start over.
I'm from the south coast originally so came up here with no prejudices. Having now dated a Mackem and a Geordie, my take on the matter is the latter are more fun but the former better in bed, though maybe I should wait upon sampling a larger portion of the population before passing comment.
OpenTTD lets you change the start date.
I've been into this game most of my life (was but 9 years old when I first got the TT demo), you can find a bunch of heightmaps I made here: http://bmp.thefloatingwidget.net/heightmaps/
I love playing with realistic landscapes and a fair bunch of NewGRF addons for extra vehicles and industries. I usually start games around 1840, fun to start off with horse and carriages and sail boats and work all the way through to hover busses and mag lev trains.

I'm pretty sure that's what you're supposed to do.
Nice to see I'm not the only one still in that era. 256MB X1800XT here. I doubt it will last the year out though.
