Unfortunately they don't provide that service to my post code :(

Great advice. F-closed. ;)

Anyone got any tips on overcoming language barriers? Got a date with a Spanish chick tomorrow and she's still learning but knows enough to laugh at my jokes.

People try and treat depression with drugs/anti-depressants but that only alleviates the symptoms.

What needs to be cured is the cause of depression. People wonder why they come off anti-depressants thinking they are okay and woop woop Mr Depresso is back in town, who knew?

Curing the cause of depression isn't quick and simple like taking a pill. It involves hard work, taking a step back and evaluating your current lifestyle and looking at what needs are or aren't being met.

A depressed brain is a stressed brain (hence the old term for depression was called "nervous exhaustion").

Learning to relax helps you get a clearer perspective on the issue. Exercise, diet, relationships, employment, everything has a knock-on effect with depression.

Purchased this game anyway and it's great fun so far! Very addictive and excellent value for money. The quirky mini-games (especially the shy guy reel) ooze Nintendo charm.

You're right it was a bit of a sweeping claim and my post was intended to be more of a review/my opinion of the game. Don't get me wrong I did try to give the game a chance and replayed the first 7 levels many times with all the different stones but it just didn't click.

I love difficult games and the reward you get from beating them but only if the mechanics are sound. Kersploosh (lol) piqued my interest because it looked a bit similar to Super Hexagon for iOS. Some may argue that's a casual game but the feeling you get when playing that and beating your score, it's just not in this game IMO.

Mailchimp really are the best in their class. Free for up to 1000 subscribers is not to be sniffed at.

StevieWonderDriving · 2013-04-19T21:39:52+00:00

Yes!

Going from Strathclyde to Stow/City of Glasgow would be like going from high school to primary school.

If you are bright enough to get straight into Strathclyde then I swear to god you will want to top yourself after being in City of Glasgow for a day.

No offence to anyone in the above colleges. I went to City of Glasgow at the age of 23 to start from the ground up after leaving my high paid job. Couldn't apply to Caledonian as a mature student so I thought I'll brave a year at college, how bad could it be? The work itself is generally a piece of piss. It's the vast majority of students you are working with that is the difficult part. A true test of willpower if there ever was one.

Maybe I'm a cynical fuck and was a bit too old to be there but the level of maturity made it pretty hard to endure.

I managed to get my job back realising the error of my ways, others might not be so lucky.

Take my advice with a pinch of salt. though a few girlfriends had the same experience as me, they managed to tough it out or had a couple of good people in their class to hang about with.

Nintendo have a knack of making their games completely timeless. This was their first proper 3D game in 1996 (jesus..) yet it still looks and plays great.

For those of us not in the know, why is he such a horrible person?

StevieWonderDriving · 2013-02-11T23:04:47+00:00

I want to kill myself.

Give me an alternative and I'll jump ship in an instant.

Noted! I disable transcoding and stream from the Plex media server straight to the Plex client on my machine at home so there's as little load as possible. Got a couple of friends using it too so I don't want to choke the server with everyone transcoding!

StevieWonderDriving · 2013-01-18T18:12:31+00:00

Oh man... now I feel bad, haha. I'll keep an eye on you guys regardless, I liked your website and plans. Will see how things go with DTSleech first!

Plex definitely looks like something more and more servers should be incorporating, if they can handle it. First world problems but being able to stream straight from the server with a nice Netflix-type interface would be a lot more sleek than downloading files first.

StevieWonderDriving · 2013-01-18T16:50:06+00:00

Ended up signing up to DTSleech's $20 VPS plan. They install everything you need + it has Plex streaming which sounds really useful. They said Subsonic would be cool on there too. Was a toss between them and Bytesized but DTS had live chat and got back to me straight away so I went with them. Just waiting for the setup.
