For a 3 pounds more per month data allowance could be increased from 5 GB to 15 GB per month, but it requires 24 month contract... 5 GB for 16 pounds is one month rolling contract and can be ended at any time.


15 GB of naked pictures? Nah, thanks.


I will never understand countries with limited internet allotment.

This is the game I'm currently playing. Graphics don't necessarily have to be that good ;)
I had BG and BG2 when they first came out, but I grabbed them the last time GOG had them on sale (and they're on sale again for $1.99 each). I installed them both, then ran the EasyTutu utility to upgrade the graphics and engine (including class & race options) on BG to BG2.

The enhanced edition of BG does that, along with also adding on more quests and characters to use. The enhanced edition of BG2 also adds on more quests and characters.

It's the matter of local service that my parents bought. Installing normal broadband seems to be too costly here (15 pounds for the line plus 5 or 8 pounds a month for internet connection through the line, not counting paying for installing the line in the first place), comparing to what I have back in Poland (30 Mb/s, no monthly limit for 68 zloty - or about 14 pounds).

I understand it's issues with replacing the existing infrastructure. The U.S., for example, has massive issues with that.

Well, I have about 770 GB free now... Hooray for 1 TB hard drive in the new laptop.


I do not intend to fill it with dirty pictures though. Those few naked female pictures I have is enough. The rest my stay on internet.

So you intend to fill it with dirty stories instead? :P

There's nothing dirty about them! There are bathrooms and lots of hit water!

Also, I keep my writings on Google Drive instead of hard drive.

The Beef Wellington was a bit more rare than I like it. The bigger disappointment was that the beef tenderloin was poorly trimmed and had gristle on it. I usually buy the big slab and trim it myself, but this time I did not in order to save time. Now I know: if you want it done right you have to do it yourself.

It's more space than I had ever on my hard discs. Added together.


Meh. That weekend was short... Oh, yeah, Saturday overtime. I will see if it was worth it on Wednesday.

If that is the case, why is the US pretty universally without limits? I've never heard of a US customer being told "hey you used up X amount of bandwidth, we're turning your internet off for the rest of the week/month". I have heard that exact line out of people in both Canada and Australia, at least.

They do not turn it off now... They just bill it extra - in case of Three it's 10.2 pence per MB as far as I could find on their site. :/


Now it is really time to go to sleep...

we had limited Internet for quite some time, especially on our phones. It depends on what type of phone company you are using and what type of phone you have. I'm with sprint and I have an android phone, I'm unlimited, but service is occasionally spotty and the phone really REALLY wants to use wifi.

Pretty much, what Drejk and Freehold said. Plus, when you go over, they can severely cap your bandwidth to the point you can do nearly nothing.

You don't hear of it as much because, by this point, it's accepted practice for everywhere. That's why it is small news stories about how unlimited internet isn't actually unlimited pop up on a regular basis in American newspapers.

This also has created an interesting phenomenon; whenever someone is offering a service and something unlimited is included, they have to clarify that there are actually no limits in the advertisement if they truly mean there are no limits. Otherwise, people automatically assume there's some kind of limit.

I'm noticing a pattern with my running games--I run the first adventure or two, it gets to be too much, and I hand off the reins to one of the players. Not built for running games.

Huh. I have never heard of this happening. Granted I don't read newspapers so that probably accounts for missing out on some things.

So this week is gonna be really busy - cleaning and getting the house ready for Sunday. And we're gonna have some extra-special guests.

The FAWTLY kind.

And work promises to be busy as well, which will hopefully help the time go faster.

Yesterday, I accidently bonked the boy on the head. He told me I was bad and put me in time out.

I kind of like time out.

Clearly, CH, you are a man who would fit well in my family. Because you can cook. All the men in my family can cook, in one form or another. Some are better than others. My dad was an excellent cook. Brother #3 takes after him (and is probably better). Brother #1 is best at making pies and cakes. Number 2, myself and #5 do well, and are constantly improving.
