[Codex]

Bugger, better than nothing though

What's with this site timing out a lot -____-

[Pyromanik]

false advertising and what not

Depends on the goal I guess.

Like everyone's said, if you're after a partner false advertising is about the last thing you wanna do.
But for a bit of fun...
Also just because you're laying it on thick doesn't necessarially mean it's not you normally... just a bit exaggerated.

Also fuck you and your work from home beer before 10 living the dream bullshit :<

it was the fact that i locked it for 4 years that made it that rate.. the longer you locked the bigger the rate..  and i couldn't shop round as i was only just out of low equity

That's it, be more cunt.
It's the way to success.

What do you even do?

I changed from being a Business analyst in Telco in January to work for Orion Health as an Implementation Consultant.

I basically play with bleeding edge medical software and custom build and tweak solutions to integrate into the DHB hospitals and manage their feature rollouts and fixes etc..

not being a cunt, honestly i would give anything to have you and codes sitting around having a beer than staring at my laptop doing mindless QA checks ..  the beer helps but its never as good as good company.

ON A NOTE CHCH PEOPLE..

needs to organise drinks and a few games of Pool at my place with a bbq one splaturday  if your all keen, and there will be BACON

[Retardobot]

If you give me enough notice, like a good month, I would like to attend this night of bbq and beer.

all good sounds like a plan, are you actually making your way down here..

bbq and beer gives you time to scope out the spare room at my place if you still needed a pad and your still moving.

rent is $120 a week plus a fiver if you want more inet cap

and we split the food shopping fortnightly is about $60 per person.

off street parking and all bedrooms are double glazed...

so at most works out to $155 - 160 a week for everything, if you research chch thats not a bad deal, and you get to live with non randoms...

[Retardobot]

I'm a bachelor who gives zero fucks about things.

Living like this gives me the freedom to do whatever I want at a moments notice, and catching a cheap flight to chch to get on the gas with you lot whilst filling my belly with bacon and various fried meats sounds like a damn good reason to show up for a few days.

the dream we is living it...

are you still looking at moving down here, could use a wingman....  Lias is old and practically married...

[Retardobot]

Moving down is still the plan. However after some job searches, things are thin on the ground with my profession. I've made contact with one firm so I'm keeping an ear out.

[Xsannz]

what sort of work do you do?

[Codex]

I hope you find good work Rii x)

[Growler]

Rii is a designer and part time fluffer

[Retardobot]

what sort of work do you do?

I'm a communication designer, working in a corporate environment alongside marketing groups and account managers.

My specialty is in corporate identity, so I help build, develop and maintain brands (through brand collateral and marketing campaigns both in print and digital) intended for a large, usually national audience. But I still do small freelance projects outside of work.

I basically do my best to convince you to spend money on stuff by making things look pretty.

[Growler]

Business Vajazzling!

[Retardobot]

I know my buzz words, sucka!

[Growler]

gah how many email servers are down, is it just Snap running backwards or are other affected too?

[Codex]

Haven't used an ISP based mail system for years lol.

Windows 8.1 U2
http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/23/5643328/windows-8-start-menu-return-in-second-update
For all the people crying about no start menu, it's coming back. Looks really good actually.

[Growler]

I love windows 8

[Codex]

I like it too, and don't mind the start menu at all. Although the nested tiles in a new styled start menu seems really nice to me. I'd assume there'd be an option for either
