Well a lot's happened since I last posted, and I've been a little reclusive whilst dealing with it, so here's the rundown ( Read more... )

Well that was a helluva weekend! For anyone unfortunate enough not to be there (or, you know, those of you with lives outside furry), I was at the LondonFurs Christmas Party on Saturday. Granted, this meant about eight hours sleep over the entire weekend, but worth it! Hung around with awesome people again, saw some faces I've not seen in a long ( Read more... )

For those of you in doubt, I'm still alive - just without regular net access. Those of you hoping to be in the will will have to wait a bit longer, ditto on the wake. So, what have I been up to? Well, I'll post a general update soon, but most immediately RBW ( Read more... )

Was just reading a little government leaflet on protecting yourself online, and noticed a couple of pieces of advice. Always use strong passwords, and don't use the same passwords for different websites. A strong password in this day and age is about ten characters, numbers and letters, mixed case, includes punctuation in many cases, and isn't ( Read more... )

Last week was in London again, had a fantastic (if way too hot) time. Also got my first commission done (I've been in this fandom how many years?) - http://forum.ukfur.org/index.php?showtopic=17100 - Go on, get one ( Read more... )

Being the geeky lot you all art (pot, kettle, black. I know), I'm sure most of you guys already know that the Sweedish Pirate Party have won a seat on the European Parliament. Don't know if they've got any idea what they've gotten themselves into, but I'm for this because it demonstrates to the other parties how the voters feel about copyright and ( Read more... )

"The problem with Live Journal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other..." - no, wait, that's the problem with LJ? I could name a few more worthy candidates ( Read more... )

OK, here's how it is. Spoke to the union again, and apparently they say work has to give me the day off, work say they don't. So I'm going to Confuzzled, and likely going to get in trouble for it afterward, and hopefully the union can save me - I am of course a bundle of nerves ( Read more... )

Damn, things looked so close to being fixed for a bit - but fell through on a piece of miscommunication. I've got the union involved, but am having trouble getting ahold of people - when I phoned the union yesterday they said to speak to the personnel manager and get back to them. The personnel manager wasn't in yesterday, so I had to wait until ( Read more... )

HantsFurs meet today was great! Just what I needed to take my mind off Confuzzled woes. Whilst I've thought we should do regular meets for years (we're probably the least organized furry group in the country, and that's saying something!), I'll admit I was a bit skeptical if they'd work after the first few. Now though we seem to be shaping up fast ( Read more... )
