    Hey btw, about SP's FB-page... There's a part below the poll, on the right side, with a line that should translate to something like "recent messages of others about Sorcerer's Place". When I try to read all those messages (show all), it won't go further than november 25th, a message by BG Series about the Gibberlings Three. And then I see that blue loading sign, but no other messages show up. Anyone else experiencing the same thing or is that just me?

    Privacy reasons basically, Tal. I still prefer that some people don't know I visit this site regularly because I do have a lot of things written here.

    FB's a steaming pile of #"#%$&$#, that's the problem. Among other things, its loading often gets stuck. You should be able to scroll right down to 2008 on the same (main) page, but often it gets stuck in infinite loading that never completes. Try refreshing the page in such instances.

    You can use the timeline on the right side to view the year you're after.

    I've tried that, but it seems not everything is shown. For instance, I'm quite sure I posted something on SP's Facebook, but I can't find it.
    NM though, I was just wondering.

    Facebook is very silly... and keeps breaking itself.

    I'm still voiceless which made for a pretty amusing dentist visit. *sigh* the bill, otoh, is not funny at all. they need to make me a denture-type-thing before they can actually do all the groundwork for a permanent fix.

    Me too. Ah well, I guess FB's too busy implementing their new, unpopular interface to bother with much-needed technical improvements. ;)

    According to our FB poll, very few people love the new layout: http://www.facebook.com/questions/10150653620426304/

    A surprising number are ok with it though. To me, FB just keeps making the whole layout and access to various settings more and more unintuitive and convoluted.

    I finally got the timeline today - I waited for a while. I guess I will have to go back later this afternoon and fix everything.

    Day one of Flix's attempt to stop smoking cigarettes

    It's going bad, bad . I'd never thought smoke withdrawal would be this unpleasant. I gotta tell you I'm not sure I can keep this up; and it's day one. DAY ONE. Damn.

    Good luck with your quitting smoking Flix. It is definitely worth it.


    Well I've taken a break from painting for a couple of days I think I should go back to it tonight now with a clear mind.

    This week just gets better. I woke up to water coming through the ceiling into my face.

    Best part? that already happened at different part of the room about a month ago and they said they had fixed it. Now it looks like there is another burst pipe in there. ARGH!

    otoh, at least I a not trying to quit smoking :D

    My mom has spend a few months in Papua. People lived in simple huts, but if it would ever rain, no water was leaking through the thatched roof.
    Don't be depressed though that they might live better ;) :p, rain was blown right through the "walls".

    Stefanina, I gotcha! Your compass is always pointing south! :p (Yeah "that's not a compass, you dummy!" :D)
    On SP's Fb, I overlooked a small pop-down menu. :doh: Changing this from Important Messages to Messages from other (or something like that), I got a whole lot more.

    It's pretty easy to find you when you straight up identify yourself in your post on FB ;)
