The "How Was Your Day?" Thread

[Mikero]

Starscream was about to bite the dust, which, incidentally, is what I want the series to do now.

That series has been over for ages...

Anyway I also remember what I was doing, I was hanging with friends and we were in Loeb or something, so we hung out until nighttime in the burbs and then when a few of us had to go home we noticed how dark it was waiting by the freeway for the bus back to the city. These are things you just don't think about until it comes up.

It was continued on to Energon and Cybertron and whatever, I just hope there aren't any more..

[ASR]

I remember where I was because we were watching the news about how there's this whole huge power-outage going on but WE STILL HAD POWER ON ACCOUNT OF HOW AWESOME I AM.

YOU PROBABLY HAVE A BACK-UP GENERATOR ALL TO YOURSELF YOU RICH COVETING BASTARD

[AlexThePenguin]

Yesterday:

1) Had to call in a ride because I missed the bus.
2) Had a relatively okay day at work.
3) Left early for a doctor's appointment.
4) Missed my doctor's appointment because I was waiting for my mother.

But that's okay, because:

5) I was on a mother#####ing boat.

[ASR]

should i stop being mean to bob seger's son

and by mean, i mean i'm just making too many bob seger references in his facebook statuses as of late

and i don't think he likes that very much

[Johncarllos]

Keep it up!
I support you.

[ASR]

WWBSD?

[Mikero]

I don't know or care who that is.

Both of those have also been over for ages but fine, I hope there's no others either.

[Fatso]

Careful, ASR. If you keep it up, you run the risk of giving him a heartache tonight.

EDIT: I feel empty inside for having said that.

[ASR]

So, tomorrow I'm moving into my apartment. I hanging out one last time for the summer with the circle of friends I have back home.

I've had a slap bet going on for most of the summer with one of my friends... we always give each other so much ##### (he's fat, I'm Jewish... it's so easy!)... so the slap bet was that whoever was mean to the other one first gets slapped.

We've lasted the entire summer and it's been killing me to not make fun of him. They were intentionally making it really tempting tonight, with everyone cracking fat jokes, even the kid himself.

It was my last day with them for a while, so I said "##### IT."

And I verbally RAPED the mother#####er, knowing full-well that a slap was underway. It was so cathartic to finally just let it loose.

We got the slap on video. There's also a twist ending! Catch it on Facebook later whenever my lazy friends upload it.

[Mikero]

You can't tell me what to do!

[ASR]

I can STRONGLY SUGGEST WITH A SIDE OF THREAT.

Moved into my new apartment a few hours ago. Fantastic!

[Johncarllos]

HOW IS THE INTERNET CONNECTION SPEED THERE?

Speedtest.net

[ASR]

DL Speed: 6.68 Mbps
UL Speed: 19.64 Mbps

Here's something speedtest.net can't tell me: why do you care?

[Fatso]

Pretty good. That upload is unbelievable, actually. Are you sure you don't have the numbers backwards?

At school I can get upwards of 20Mbps down, but UDP packets are #####ed over with extreme prejudice. It's almost impossible to do any online play there.

[ASR]

I'm sure.

The thing is, not everybody in the area is moved in yet, so I'm expecting the numbers to go down later. Especially once school starts.

[Johncarllos]

I'm just curious.
Right now that's basically blinding speed.

When I get to school on Sunday, I'm expecting 40down/40up.
It's crazy fast there.

[ChaosVortex]

I think we had this discussion on Skype...

I don't know what this means so John can just translate this.



3.39 DL
0.39 UL

I think this sucks.

[Ikeoko]

What does "ping" mean?

[Johncarllos]

ping is how many milliseconds it takes to go from your computer, to the server, and back.

Annie, that's FAST.

CV, That's plenty for almost everything.

My home connection is .7 up and .15 down.

[Ikeoko]

.7!?  .15!?

is that dial up??

[Johncarllos]

No, dial up is .056 down.

I can download at 100KB/s.
There is a ratio of bits to bytes and an 8mb/s connection (megabits) is actually only 1 megaBYTE per second.

It's not TOO bad.

School internet is off the hook though.

[Ikeoko]

wut

And I remember when I used to have dial up...oh the dark stone age days they were...

It would take me over an hour to load a game on nick.com...

[Mikero]

ASS.

[Ikeoko]

I hope that mean word wasn't directed at me... ;_;

[Mikero]

Never, Anna-banana. It was directed at my (gotta live, gotta live, gotta live in) #####town internet.

[Ikeoko]

Ooooh okay good.

I was sad for a minute..

But now I am happy again :)

[Fatso]

Low upload (upload is fairly tightly restricted by my ISP) but pretty damned good download for a home service.

Also, #####ING AWESOME PING FOR A CABLE CONNECTION. SERIOUSLY.

[ASR]

Yes, but how was your DAY?

[Johncarllos]

Stop complaining.
I have to deal with THIS.




Remind me to show off my connection tomorrow.

[ASR]

I'm sure you'll remember.

[GMG]

How did we get on this topic?

[Mikero]

Read the rest of the thread and find out.

[Fatso]

Stop complaining.
I have to deal with THIS.

Wow, that's terrible... is that DSL or just horribly restrictive cable?

[Johncarllos]

Cheapo DSL.
15 bucks a month.

Not as awesome as I hoped.
Still totally kickin'.




Also, got everything moved into college but forgot my VGA connector to play my XBox.

[Fatso]

Whoops.



Decided "why the hell not" the other day and tried out the Zune. WHAT ON EARTH MAKES YOU LIKE IT SO MUCH JC. LIKE SERIOUSLY. The hardware is fine, but the software is even worse than itunes, and it's taken me almost a week to find the right transcoding settings to even get the silly program to SEE my mkvs and avis. AND WHY NO FILE MANAGER?!

[Majikn]

Pretty much anything that plays music these days seems to be a piece of ##### in some category.

Honestly I hated Sony's "SonicStage" a lot more than iTunes.

[Mikero]

The only thing I mind about iTunes and iPod is that you can't cross reference anything.

[preventerWIND]

I got some pretty big numbers. That's good right?

[Fatso]

That's extremely good for a home connection in Canada.

[Mikero]

Uh no, it isn't. Only the download speed is good. The ping and upload are just OK.
I don't see how that has anything to do with living in Canada though.

[Johncarllos]

For upload that's actually pretty darn good.
That's faster than my download at home.
And the ping is fine.
I'm happy with 3 ms ping though

[Majikn]

Pretty badass that I'm even posting this right now with an upload/download speed of N/A.

[Johncarllos]

!!!!

YOU ARE TOO FAST FOR INTERNET.

[Majikn]

http://steamsteamlol.ytmnd.com/

[Johncarllos]

EXACTLY.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Jumping on the bandwagon.

Although, my internet has been slow recently...

[Johncarllos]

WHOA.
HEY.
THOSE ARE MEGABYTES.
NOT MEGABITS.

It's more like 5 mb/s download and 1mb/s upload.

[Majikn]

I walked home from the dentist into a thunderstorm (there have been a ton of these) and at the last intersection I #####ing swear this miniature Ronald Weasely was just outright gawking at my wet shirt. I just wanted to slam my face against the car window and shout "THIS IS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU PISS YOURSELF"
