Phaedrus

In other news, Catty seems to be back this week (no idea for how long though - maybe someone could ask if they see her?). She's well worth seeing :)

Stating the obvious here, but... of course, then everyone on CERB knows your photobucket (or flickr, or whatever) account, which may or may not be what you want :) If you do this, you might want to create a new one for CERB (and related) usage only...

Well, we can't - but I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. The fact that I didn't particularly click with a particular MA doesn't mean she won't turn out to be someone else's ATF. Speaking of which, here's another. Thanks, O'Cahla!

I have no idea, but I'm worried. I don't doubt that Harper would *like* to enshrine his ideas of morality in law; what I'm not at all sure about is how much of a priority this is. There's the fiscal responsibility thing, and his corporate paymasters will doubtless want a return on their investment, and even the zealots may have higher priorities than this industry, although like others I fear the Bedford case could provoke a backlash from them if it goes against the government.

Stuff that (especially given that I can't walk in heels). I'm getting one of these! :icon_razz:

Should have posted this yesterday, really....

Well, if you're TOFTT, you may still have a particular target in mind for your research, so calling ahead still works :) Yes, I've had that happen once. The alternative MA wasn't someone who'd been reco'd here, and I'm afraid I didn't feel inclined to write one myself after seeing her (although I didn't spend the time wishing I was elsewhere). But I agree that it's a very awkward position to be suddenly landed in - and to decline the alternative MA's services would probably be somewhat insulting to her.

Obviously it's tricky for anyone to comment without knowing the details of the OP's situation. A few questions that might be worth considering, however... Why did you start hobbying in the first place? And then why did you carry on? What does hobbying give you that your SO doesn't? If you stopped hobbying, could your SO fill the gap that left? And would she be prepared to do so? And is your hobbying perhaps a symptom of some deeper, underlying problem? I wouldn't expect you to actually post the answers to these questions here (or even advise you to do so, for that matter, given how personal they are) - but you might find that thinking through them gives you some more answers of your own. HTH

It's quite a lot more than a proxy - in particular, proxies are just one intermediate machine that may well keep logs and probably has no encryption, whereas TOR uses multiple hops with multiple layers of encryption and keeps no logs at all. Which still isn't to say that you couldn't be tracked though TOR - but it'd be a lot harder than just getting the logs from a proxy.

Absolutely. Although I'm sure the research has its compensations :) I generally give them a call and ask if the MA I'd particularly like to see is available, and when, and then make an appointment (which may well be "in fifteen minutes" or something like that). +1 on recommending Gina - must go back to see her again now she's returned.

Wow! Most impressive! Congratulations!

Happy birthday!

That's probably because the once-a-week folks haven't seen it yet :) I'm on some days, depending on what else I'm doing (or procrastinating about, as the case may be) - and usually only once on any given day. And I check the Ottawa and more general forums for interesting-looking threads, but I don't read absolutely everything...

TOR is definitely worth looking at. Now, if only they'd get the TorButton app fixed up so it officially works with FF4...

Killing Joke - Eighties

...this book looks awesome. More pages here, which are even better. The only problem is it won't be published until October! [update - publication now seems to have come forward to mid-June :)]

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday! Have fun!

I think quite a lot of the point is to demonstrate that sharks aren't the utterly ruthless killing machines that people sometimes believe them to be. You probably weren't the only one :) But I fear that movie was the worst thing that ever happened for sharks. He's a she :) Although I concede it's tricky to tell under the full chainmail suit... Those are Caribbean reef sharks (I think), which are generally OK without a cage. But yes, you'd probably want a cage for some other sorts. Wear gloves if you touch one - apparently their skin is quite rough, and if you scrape your fingers and start bleeding... well, just don't!

...at the end. There is, of course, no point to this - just thought it was pretty cool :)

More here.

More here, or if that pic didn't work out.
