Why the stars mopacfan? Surely you are allowed to say black list? Is this a racist term nowadays? :eek:

There are only 4 *'s...

Like I say - I'm not all that mad, it's just a bit irritating.

Oh yeah. Should probably get my eyes tested.

Well SE, I reckon a web designers life is probably fairly lonely, spending all that time on your own trying to get peoples sites finished. The only place where you get any contact with the same people is on a forum like this, so when things are getting a bit stressfull people tend to destress by creating a bit of humour. I'm not saying that it makes it alright to bring the forum into disrepute but if you can't share emotions within a community, it isn't really a community at all.

Sorry if I've irritated you at all. :o

Mate, no worries at all.

Seriously. :)

I'm a web developer too - I know what it's like to spend days in front of a screen trying to finish a site. :)

I don't think I'll ever have as much on work wise at the moment than I ever will. If anyone is thinking of running a business, doing their final year at uni as well as planning for a wedding then I would advise you against it.

I am just so relieved I managed to pull a fast one in getting my year long dissertation to be based on a clients web site. I can't believe he agreed to go ahead with it as he will have to wait almost the full year for his site to be developed :)

Hehe...

That's cool man. Uni is something I may get around to at some point.

I guess I just really fancy the idea of being a student again ;)

I took a year out last year so all my mates have moved away. It sucks sitting their in lectures where the topics are going right over my head and I'm thinking about the money I could be making instead of sitting there falling asleep. lol

It does have it's financial rewards though eg discounts everywhere, I also get a £200 grant for doing farther education because of this rich guy that lived in Kirkcaldy and died and gave all his money to people going onto further education :cool: + you can wear what you want ;)

One of the major downsides for me is that a lot of them students smell bad. I was sitting next to this guy the other day that smelled of strong urine :eek: needless to say I was pretty quick in changing seat. :rolleyes:

There was a guy like that in my school.

There were often arguments as to who had to site next to the guy.
I mean this guy really smelt. If you sat at one of the desks surrounding him (Sat In frontof him, either side or behind him... This guy still smelt Baaaaddddd).

I feel really sorry for the poor guy, I mean if someone had told him that he stank, then he may have had more friends.

Yeah but kids at school are different. You can blame the parents for that.

Students who are supposed to be able to look after themselves should know that if they don't have a wash in the morning or even after 2 mornings that they will start to smell and get dirty.

My Mum is a teacher and she tells me some awfull stories about some wee boys in her class who's parents can't afford to buy them new shoes and the ones they have, have holes in them and they smell bad as well probably because they can't afford the hot water... Actually I think she said in 1 case a family had a house which had neither a shower or a bath and they had to go to their grannies to have a wash or use a basin like thing that they used in the early 20th century :eek:

Wow man... That sounds really bad.

Maybe he was in a similiar situation.

Weirfire

Nov 11th 2004, 3:46 pm

I know. It's not really fair to make opinions of people like that when you don't know the full story but we all do it. I know I have.

You feel really guilty when you find out things like that :o

I know what it's like to have nothing as a child and holes in your shoes, however, my mother made sure all five of us were bathed, fed, and dressed warmly. I feel bad for those kids who had it even worse off then me.

Weirfire

It's crazy when you think of those kids out in Africa in poverty. These kids would find the life of even those children with the holey shoes luxury compared to what they go through.

I was talking to this missionary that had been to Africa and he was telling me that what you see on TV is nothing compared to what it is actually like out there. The smell hits you as you walk through the streets as they dont have any sewage systems and you also see the full extent to the living conditions they put up with.

We really do live in a bubble in the Western World.

That's my preaching for the year, now I'm off to bed. :)

You know I would like to thank Kalina for opening this thread back up or I would have never had the opportunity to welcome SE Basic to Digital Point.

I think I am going to do a proper introduction thread since I never did one ;)

You know SE, you better watch yourself, I don't like this idea of locking threads that you came up with. :mad:

Kalina, thanks for rubbing this in SE's face, great idea, you really are smart to find this and get back at SE for his outburst on locking intro threads.

SE, you are not trying to ruin the fun around here, are you :confused: :)

Do you think I can ever forgive him folks?

Welcome to the forum SEbasic, it is nice to finally meet you, you little bugger you....

I am very glad to have met Oliver and just wanted to say so. :(

Yeah, but if he keeps coming up with ideas that ruin my fun I am going to have second thoughts about my old friend :confused:

Must be the DrunkRank figure of 10 that hit him hard :rolleyes: :)

SEbasic

Nov 11th 2004, 4:26 pm

Well I'm glad to have met both of you guys too.

Like I said, I'm not mad... :)

I'm not sure I've hit DR10 for a while actually.
It's not too nice when you do. ;)

Have you been on the forums since last night SE? :)

I bet you do what I do and get up, check your keywords, see what the latest news is on the forum, then start into work? :)

SEbasic

Nov 12th 2004, 1:52 am

Yep, it's pretty much the same thing...

I tend to check my favourite blogs in the morning, along with adsense too...

Weirfire

It would be cool to write a script that turns on your computer, loads up the keyword checker, checks the keywords, logs onto adsense and checks your email just as you get up in the morning.
