Ask Khem

Last year a whole lot of peoples details were stolen from paypal.

buzz recently signed up to it and started getting dodgy paypal spam asking for his details, but I've had paypal for ages and never got any of that spam. Could your friend have received one of those emails and replied to it?

She reckons she didn't....

Myles got one the other week so I forwarded it on to everyone I knew, saying watch out n stuff.

How does she know her paypal account was hacked?

She said it was her eBay too that got hacked, coz some guy from Indonesia bidded & brought a few things with her account.

She seems to think that he hacked in to her computer & did it all, but I dunno, wouldn't you notice that?

Na you wouldn't necessarily notice it. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if He got into her computer and she had the ebay details saved then he could get on quite easily. Not that sure about this stuff though. Maybe a Trojan or something?

Dear Khem,

77 days until i reach freedom (although true freedom is a state of mind), at this point my freedom is London: incoming FOC!!!!!!

Woooooooo!

Yo Khem or Glock,

So i stuck the file in the Cauldron and now I can not play it as it isn't coming up as a mp3.

HELP,HELP,HELP!!!

ive never used the program so i suggest either pressing f1 while in the program to bring up the help menu or waiting for glock to see this

Ah crap I should've told you to backup the original and try it with a copy in case something went wrong. I do that automatically so I didn't think to tell you that. Having said that, I didn't think it would fuck up your file either. I've never used Cauldron before I just did a google search and found something that I was hoping would help you fix the issue...last time I had cooked mp3's was probably 10 or so years and I used uncook. Give me a tic, I'll 'uncook' a file with Cauldron and see if I get a similar error.

Follow Up:

OK I did a small sized mp3 and there were no issues. I think maybe due to your mp3 file being a long mix, so a big file size, you might have closed Cauldron before it had finished it's processing, which would have taken a fair while for a long file I reckon, because stupidly it doesn't give you a notification saying that it has finished. Did you use the option to make a recipe and if so, try using that to restore the file to it's original 'cooked' state.

Dear Glock,

I created a copy of the file, the original is still 'cooked' and the one that was supposed to be un cooked, has a cauldron in front of it and will not let me open it.

ta Bek

I don't know much about this program but you should make sure it is an mp3 file and if not change settings in Cauldron so it exports in mp3. Just a guess though

'Cauldron is a high performance file (un)cooking utility.
If you have ever downloaded an mp3 file which made your speakers sound like a Holden, you know you need it. Sometimes when you download files from the web, the browser misunderstands the format of the file, and the result saved to disk is a "cooked" file. For most filetypes this is a fatal mistake, and renders the file unusable. This is where utilities such as Cauldron come in handy. They process the cooked file and recreate the original "raw" file, which is what you wanted to download in the first place.

I mention mp3 files here, but as a matter of fact, just about any file you download from the web can suffer from this phenomenon. For example when I was forced to use Netscape to download the FreeBSD 4.0 distro, Netscape cooked almost every single file. I started using the old 'uncook' utility, but it was so slow I gave up on it, and wrote Cauldron instead. It uses advanced I/O mechanisms (memory mapped files) to achieve highest possible performance, and is multithreaded so that you will always have control over the GUI. For your safety, Cauldron can when uncooking a file generate a "recipe", which allows you to restore the file back to its cooked state if you mistakenly uncook it.

For your convenience, this setup will add an item to the context menu for all formats recognized by Winamp. So if you need to uncook a music file, all you have to do is right click and select "Uncook with Cauldron". If you have created a recipe when uncooking, and wish to restore the file to its cooked state, all you have to do is double click the recipe file.

If you prefer using the command line, it might interest you to know that Cauldron supports the /u /r and /c switches. For /u and /c, the parameters following are the names of the files which will be uncooked or cooked, respectively. For /r, you need to specify the actual recipe files for the files to recook.

All in all, Cauldron should meet your every need for (un)cooking files.
Enjoy!

/LoneWolf"

That is all I could find in the 'help section'

I'm looking at the program now be back with more info.

Okay step 1: Dragged file abc123.mp3 in
Step 2: Hit Uncook and choose to make a recipe
Step 3: It finished and I loaded the file in. Worked fine for me. Sounds like shit now though...

Worked out your problem. You are trying to open the recipe file. The original file should look exactly the same as it did before.

What he said! Hope it's ok now...

cos' i've been stalking you on my space...

That post doesnt even make sense.

AM is not Myspace. A reference to John B doesnt even make sense either when you are talking about Lurkers.

You two should do a cover of Sisters are Doin' it for Themselves just like Kylie and Dannii 

Nath,

That doesnt work either.. they are still cooked when I checked the original

Well sorry but I'm completely stuck then. Personally I've never had this problem so I don't know that much about it. You might just have to see if anyone else has a copy of that mix.

Dear K-man

I just realised in the sweet revenge I not only double posted, but I even triple posted!

Now thats keen 

ease up on the caffiene/sugar/whatever it is

Dear Erika.

You suck.

Kthxbi

thats not very nice

Dear Khem,

You also suck, do you feel like you are part of the equation now.

Hugs Rebecka

meh

watch out as Ive got some good tips and ya just never know. Dont wanna be stuck in a dark alleyway with me! ahahaha  

Or else I will put a banana in your car exhaust!  

 

I dont even get what she means 

Dear Khem,

It is my birthday fun times party tomorrow and my real birthday on Tuesday.

Why am i not even a little bit excited? I feel my excitement for the year has already been used up in the first 3 months.

Is there anyway to get back or top up my excitement levels?

Also the Frangipani tree has still not flowered, just for your information.

xxx
spacewah

and you never will.

happy birthday! better get it in now just in case i forget!



id find it hard to get excited with the heat in adelaide at the moment... all the excitement you had left after womad would have been cooked out of you with this heat! i find a good way to get excited about stuff is to load up on sugar... with enough sugar you will be giggling and jumping up and down over the smallest things!



sorry to hear about your flangipani tree, id send don burke a strongly worded email demanding an explanation if i were you.

Dear Khem,

Looks a lot easier to get a working visa in Canada than England.
http://www.whpcanada.org.au/introduction.shtml
Is it colder in Canada ? I don't know which one to choose now !!

Kirsty

Dear Khem,

Just before I was clipping my toe nails outside when suddenly I became surrounded by ants who got extremely excited over said clippings and were using all their mite to drag them back to their home. What on earth do you think the little blighters were planning on doing with them??

 

clone you?

 

well hey i know i would if i had the chance



everyone needs a Nat in their life!!

steal toenails >> ?? >> profit


obviously would depend on when and where you go. loads of people head there to work the ski slopes. there hasnt been much if any snow in england so that would suggest canada would be a bit colder.

dear khem

thanks for my tattoo! have fun in paris at easter

xxx r xxx

 LMFAO

Dear Khem,

Do you know of any decent party hire venues, e.g. halls, warehouses, stuff of the like; That are situated about 15-20 mins out of the city?

Thanks in advance!
Tom

The Russian house on the corner of Portrush and the Parade can be hired. It has a couple of large halls, a kitchen, bar, etc. Not knowing what you are after though, I'd suggest you check it out for yourself.

Henley Sailing Club at the end of Burbridge Road (and actually in West Beach) is not a bad location as well...

Dear Khem,
When I was in Cairns last year I came across a little something that I couldn't help but buy for Spacey as a little gift. A year has passed and I have still not presented her with this little pressie although I have mentioned to her that at some stage she may recieve a little treat. Do you think that the time is right now to give it to her, seeing as it's her birthday and all or should I keep her hanging a little while longer? And if you were me and you put this something away in a safe spot until the right time. where would you put it so that perhaps you could find it around about now?  Oh, and do you know if Spacey and Vic had a nice time at their picnic. I was sad that I had other commitments.

Thanks for your advice wise one! Your answer to my ants/toenails question blew me away. It did not even enter my head that perhaps they were doing it for profit, and now I feel a little silly that I didn't work that one out for myself 

image not archived: images

Time to go to work,
Work all night,
Search for underpants yay!
We won't stop until we have underpants!
Yum tum yummy tum tay!

now is as good a time as any i reckon, especially if you havent already sorted out an official birthday present. i probably would have put it right at the back of a drawer or cupboard, under everything else so no one else would find it. or perhaps on top of the cupboard or under the bed. having said that, it will probably turn up in the last place you look, so to save time i would start by looking there first.



havent heard any reports about the picnic, but i hope they both had an enjoyable time.

Thanks for that Khem. I wouldn't have thought of looking in the last place that I would look so I definitely will give your time saving idea a burl.  Oh, and shhh... I want it to be a surprise to bust out when I next see her.

i promise i wont tell, it can be our little secret

Dear Khem,

Is Face Off the worst movie ever made?
How on earth did they even get away with making such a terrible film?
Why now have I seen it 3 times, watching on in horror each time at how utterly bad it is?
Is Nicholas Cage the single worst actor in the history of mankind?

 It's so bad it's good.

 Cage is seriously shithouse tho.

 

I must say I thought Face Off was shit as well, but I don't think Cage is so bad... In the only two movies that come to mind (Gone in 60 seconds and Lord of War) he was all right I thought - in particular in Lord of War.

Lord of War is one film I havent seen. Basically avoided it due to him being in it.

Lord of War rules

also Wild at Heart
good cos it's Lynch I guess...

Nic Cage is the antithesis of everything good in the world. He is a man capable of chewing any piece of scenery Hollywood throws at him, and the cunt leaves a stench in his trail, a stench that reeks of rotten ham. His teeth have more ability than the man himselef, but he doesn't seem to realise this. He actually thinks he can get his wigs to do the acting for him. Doss cunt. He is my arch-enemy.

I don't get all this Nicholas Cage hating going on. Many of his movies are the most enjoyable popcorn flicks I've ever seen and the more 'cerebral' ones are also high on my list, such as Leaving Las Vegas and Bringing Out The Dead. I rate Con Air as one of the best action flicks of the 90's with many memorable performances, Malkovich, Trejo and Buscemi to name a few. I loved Face/Off and The Rock and the National Treasure series are great fun! Lord Of War was excellent too. I just had to get in here and stop the hating y'all! I think I did a similar thing when this Cage hate began in the cinemania thread as well...

Dear anyone,

Is Friday a public holiday?

Love Lexy
xo

   I used to think you were cool man


   Na, Each to their own

sure is lex!!  good friday they call it.  monday is one too!  yay!

Awesome, thanks hun 

Yes and Monday is as well. No retail bar iga's and those kind of shops will be open on friday as it is like xmas day.Its one of the two days a yr our liquor stores shut and we get a day off like normal folk.

I only really like him in Lord of war

Con air? bahahaha no comment

Leaving las vegas is ok but i didnt think it was anything special. except sarah jessica parker is actually hot in it

I did watch face off last nite- way too much bang bang gun shooting got a little tiring

Dear Massive

Getting this tattood in a couple weeks. Just want to make sure most people can read it. I can perfectly, but i also know what it says(obviously) so i may be biased

Sing for Absolution 

I want tattoos, now now now! 

well if you can read it Lex thats good nuff for me!:)

nah everyone thats seen it loves it, but they also knew what it was i wanted. Needed to get a dif view so thanks:)

I've hated nic cage since before it was cool seriously crap cunt

i like!!  great song too!

Prolly the most poignant line from the title track of my all time fave album so it seems fitting

 

Word.

absolutely!!  great idea!

 

Oh Nat!

I think you should present it to her STAT! Take time off work to look for it and look through the night! She will be at the Cumby on Wednesday night for more birthday drinks and is in major need of cheer-ups. So you better be there, present or no present! Oh and the picnic was superb. Rather dark in the end but lovely! We ate lots of good food, and i drank enough beer to keep a brewery in business. Victoria bailed early and we moved the party to the gardens where we all proceeded to get way more drunk and have way loads of fun. I woke up dying on Sunday! It was great!

Khem,

Do police not get trained to jump fences anymore. At the Garden on Sat night, some random was getting chased by the fuzz, proceeds to scale a not so high fence in the blink of an eye. the TWO police that were chasing him had to get someone to give them a boost over this fence. Now having scaled a fence or two in my time, i saw no problem in scaling said fence. These police were not even your large type. They looked like strapping young lads to me.

How did they pass cop school not being able to jump a standard fence?

thanks!

"Put the bunny back in the box." Dude, that's all I'm gonna say.  

Oh, hold up... "How do I live.... without you..."  Fucking gold that is. I'm done...



Or am I?    just watch any scene with the bug-eyed one in it and wonder in amazement at how THE FUCK he agreed to wear that fucking wig!!! Is the cunt blind? This dude is Francis Ford Coppola's fucking nephew!!! Look at him!!! Fucking seriously! Just look at him in Con Air and tell me that is an action hero. The dude looks like an extra from Deliverance on a bad hair day. And his idea of expressing ANY FORM OF EMOTION is to open his eyes a bit wider and cackle a bit louder.

image not archived: NicCage.jpg
Like I said before... look at him. I couldn't show this photo to you in colour, should your face melt like some evil villain in an Indiana Jone's flick. It is that serious. Fucking hell, I still can't believe it.

   :high five:

Dude, he was playing a Southern redneck...nothing less than a bad looking mullet style haircut was gonna cut it!

As roost said, each to their own, I've been a big action movie fan since I was a kid taping the AO-M movies off the TV!!! Keyser has heard me tell him that The Running Man is possibly my favourite film of all time! I could go on forever about classic and often dodgy action films that I love: The American Ninja series with Michael Dudikoff and Steve James, China O'Brien series with Cynthia Rothrock, Van Damme with his 'Wrong Bet' (it was classic in that flick when he delivered the title line) and all the others...Double Impact...yeaah! Anything with big Arnie is often gold too...Terminators and Total Recall are very high on my list as well! Hell, I even love most of Seagal's early work, Under Siege and Above The Law were a couple of favourites.

Whatever floats ya boat, I'm not some high brow wank movie watcher who feels such popcorn flicks are beneath them, I like anything really...same with my music tastes. I guess that's just me, I like a wide variety of entertainment genres and refuse to pigeon hole any actors into a 'they are crap so I won't watch that film' category. I think that's silly thinking that way because you might miss something you may really enjoy.

*deep breath*

That's my 2 cents! 

Dear Khem,

Just reading through the rules to determine what should be deleted by a Mod and what shouldnt. Seems to me that alot of the time Mods make the rules up as they go, however I just wanted to read them for my own interest.

Also I was wondering about this rule:

"13. Grammar:
Bad grammar is an unfortunate issue which arises on any internet based message board. At AM, we have a very liberal view towards the use of bad grammar, however it must be noted that any incorrect application of the words "loser" or "looser" will be moderated immediately. Further indiscretions will result in suspension/banning."

Why has it been decided that loser/looser are such strictly enforced words? Have I missed something? Is this a joke?

Its seems to me that there needs to be a little loosening up around here?

How can people be banned on grammar? That is a joke, especially when it may actually be a mistake. I think its unfair.

I hope this post doesnt get deleted like alot of my others do! People have the right to read someone elses opinion if it is expressed on a forum, provided its not hurtng anyones feelings

Thanks

Erika

Dude. This has nothing to do with opinions, whether highbrow or lowbrow. It goes much higher than that. It goes back to when Lucifer Morningstar was cast out of the heavens, to rule over the demonic minions of Hades. It goes back to the moment he decided to forge a new type of evil in the eternal flames of Hell. Something that would make the Holocaust look like a skinned knee. Something that would make Pol Pot beg for mercy. Something that would make everybody forget about the Devil himself. Thus, his creation was unleashed on the unsuspecting world....





image not archived: Mullet.jpg

Erika it's a semi-joke. I doubt any posts with "loser" and "looser" will be removed or fixed by most moderators (though there is one who has a serious issue with that particular misspelling). Basically the total number of rules came to 13, and due to this being an unlucky number the moderator who has a problem with that particular spelling suggested that extra rule.

Please don't lose any sleep over it.

Cheers,
Oli

 

 

Im crying thats so funny

You're as bad as me!

Oh dont worry Im loosing sleep over it  !

Who's that dude drinking out the wine glass? He's fucking good looking ey?!?

That last picture nicolas cage seriously looks like the devil with his hands together

Chris even you have to admit Adaptation is a dope film. Even I forgot about that one in my pro-Cage post earlier...

Are you serious?!? Two Nic Cages in the same movie?!? 

I actually thought it was called Adoption, and was based on the true story of how Nic Cage came to be in the same bloodline from which Francis Ford Coppola was birthed.   

You know how Spike Jonze and Sophia Coppola were hooked up and shit? And how Sophia Coppola and Nic Cage are like cousins? Sophia asked Spike for a family favour and now they are split up. Says it all...   

I can't stop Lachie! You're making it worse!!!

Viva la revolution!

All I need now is a picture of Toby Bensimons in his french outfit from his shields TV ad 

they probably need to jump a fence with the assistance of someone else due to strict occupational health and safety regulations. if one of those cops twisted their ankle after jumping the fence it would be our tax dollars that have to pay for their medical expenses.


can read it easy




no probs! hope you enjoyed your birthday weekend! was cool to catch up and stuff... will head down to bath when its a tad warmer.






1 - plan 9 from out of space is the worst movie ever i beleive
2 - the film was able to be made as john woo was just breaking out of hong kong and john travolta was riding the wave of popularity after his role in pulp fiction. nic cage was just tagging along for the ride.
3 - its actually not too bad a movie if you switch your brain off for a bit.
4 - probably not the absolute worst since a lot of shit actors dont even make it on screen



yes, and yes.

Yeah I get internet attacked about it all the time, I cry for five minutes then I am a happy internet poster again.

Khem do you think Adelaideans will survive tomorrow? It's going to be very cold (29 is the max forecast)!

i think they should be ok so long as they rug up and stay out of the cold, such a cold snap might cause people to catch a cold, but apart from that i think everyone should survive.

Good to hear. Glad thing I was in Europe recently cause at least I know where my winter gear is!

Dear Khem,

Can we get the spell check on this forum changed from American to English? It is ever so annoying.

Thanks.

after having a quick look, it is possible to get an alternate dictionary installed.

if you are using firefox it has built in spell check, so i suggest you setup your own spell check in the mean time if you can.

Excellent 29 can not wait.

oooh goody, didn't realise there was a language dooflicky in firefox

Dear Khem,

Will I ever pay off my stupid debt to GE or will they continue to rape me forever?

X R.m.C

paying off the debt is definitely do-able if you knuckle down and stick to a budget but you will probably continue to be raped until you sort it out.

movie discussion moved to the movie thread

Dear Khem,

If you put a dress & make-up on another guy when they are sleeping and then spoon them, is that gay?

its only gay if the balls are touching

Dear Khem,

Fix my lap top!

 Dear Khem/ Kurko

 I have a power board I want to use. I t was out in the shed and there is something rattling around inside it. Any ideas if its gonna blow up or some shit or what it could be rattling in there?

 What are my chances of burning down the house if I use it?

 Thanks

 Not keen on being charcoaled SA

whats wrong with it?


i had one like that and it didnt cause any problems. i think one of the points didnt work, but nothing ever caught fire.

probably the internal connection for one of the sockets has come loose and is floating around in there. get a screwdriver and open it up and find out what it is, you wont destroy it.

piece of piss, seriously. the consequence of plugging it in and destroying what's plugged into it isn't worth the risk.

 Do I just pop it open or what?

 There are no screws

Dear Khem,

I just chucked up all my tunes on discogs in the last few days to make it easy for people to view the stuffs i don't want. however, i have segregated tunes into WANT/DONOTWANT folders, and only just realised that the public can not view them like this. can it be done? do i have to put them up for sale on the site? i just wanted to catalogue them and put them up to wider (outside ADL) public later.

pls HALP!

ez

Yes you might have to lever it open.

Please make sure it's unplugged first.

just pop it open Stryke, make sure its unplugged first 


Khem, is there anyway to remove scratches from a phone screen


edit: damn oli just beat me

ORLY! could be a piece of plastic then.

plug in a lamp and see if it work in each socket, giving the board a shake/boot while its on.

100 IF LAMP = FLICKERING THEN GOTO 120
110 IF LAMP = OK THEN BOARD IS GOOD
120 BUNNINGS

ez

no idea, i did my cataloging on rolldabeats. id suggest searching or asking here: http://www.discogs.com/help/forums



depends on how deep the scratch is. you might be able to polish/buff it out but if the scratch is fairly deep it may be a waste of time trying to get rid of it. toothpaste or brasso or silvo all work, but you need to make sure you buff it real good or else it will just look all hazy.

 Thanks guys.

 All systems go.

 

Glad you survived it Stryke.

 Me too.

 Dear Khem,

 I will soon have a shirt that says I am a Paramedic Student that I am meant to wear to uni on certain days.

 Should I risk wearing it on the bus/in public on my way there? In the event that something happens or someone passes out or something I won't really know what to do (yet) and will look like a bit of a jerk off (more so than usual)

 Concerned

 

id suggest you keep it on the down low until you know how to fix people when they break. keep it under another tee or a jacket... unless of course a supermodel faints from not eating, then by all means bust out the tee shirt, check her chest for a heart beat and then provide cpr.

The connection from the power cable/transformer to the laptop seems to be loose resulting in no power or battery charge capability. Can we just buy a new cable??

you should be able to get a replacement cable.

is it the cable which is the problem or the connection inside the laptop?

Well the light is on the transformer but it is quite loose now at the connection. The laptop part looks fine, seems to me it is wear and tear on the cable socket.

Sorry to say, but I wouldn't rule out the Power Pack still being an Issue...

The cable is the cheaper fix but you might still find the power pack is shot. Can you test it with another charger / cable????

 

cool cheers

n00b!

He might crack her calcium deficient ribs though! Who wants a supermodel rake with concave ribs and no titties? 

hi mikey!

please tell me why leezee is hidden these days?

curious fairy xo

dear khem,

i rarely use capital letters when i post. does that annoy people and am i going to get banned for because it's bad grammar?

small l lauren

Yes it does annoy people but only when you remind them that you're doing it 

And technically you are whispering!

I don't mind everything lower case except for "I" for some reason  

If you don't even capitalise "I" then you must hate yourself.

You're right oli.... it's a sign of low self esteem 

You won't get banned for that. The rules are quite clear. 


It's definitely a sign of low I's-team

i do the same thing, am thinking about putting a statement in my sig.

Like "letters look better little" or something?

I am pretty interested to see what kind of a statement you could put in your sig to somehow justify your own lazy attitude towards pressing "Shift" every so often.

my reason for it is that when i'm at work i either have to always have caps lock on or always have it off, depending on what hard drive i'm using or what program i'm in. it gets so annoying having to change it all the time.

But then wouldn't half your posts be in CAPS and half not?

i don't want people to think i'm yelling.

You realise if you just hold down "Shift" temporarily while pressing a letter it will capitalise it?

yes i realise this, thanks.

So doesn't that negate your reason for not capitalising stuff while at work?

Or is there something else I'm missing?

nervermind. disregard my question, i don't care if it annoys people 

Hehe

No worries. I don't care anyway. I just thought your reasoning was funny.

i type in lowercase most of the time. no one is going to get banned for bad grammar - it has been mentioned multiple times why the rule is there and how it is tongue in cheek.




i think he has something to hide... suspicious imo

You need to take your pent out grammar thrashings on school kids. Ever thought about teaching?

Funnily enough I was considering a Diploma in Education as my next step but then I realised teachers in Australia are underpaid, undervalued, and under respected. Every teacher I met also told me to do something better (re: anything else) with my life..

So I'm planning on heading back to Europe in the near future to teach English to people who actually want to learn it instead.

big up Oli

I think you might find it rewarding 

All of our work email group have gotten used to it by now

Dear Khem

2 minute noodles now come with a vegetable sachet.

Just keeping you in the loop.

xxx

Since when were 2 minute noodles supposed to be healthy?
Not that those ultra dry packets of vegies are healthy anyway

They have to be more healthy than the bowl of jelly that was my other option!

Why didn't you just put vegies in the jelly?

thanks for the info spacey! enjoy your long weekend!

Because i wasnt stoned!

Ah Good point. Still sounds like something I'd do when I'm not high anyway. Wait I think I already did that once. You just need Gelatin. Made so many random Jellies with that stuff.

Dear Khem,
When famous Rock Stars / Pop Sluts etc. get their riders/request itinarys, does the cost come out of the booking fee, or is it another added expense that promoters have to pay?
Cheers
~BM

Another expense the promoter has to pay.

Yo.

How do gay people pass on their genes if they're gay?

If they don't, how does some genetic disposition to be gay arise?

On the gay tip... is it bad to be a bi-sexual? 

I'd never pay for sex.

You what? Whats that got to do with being bi-sexual?

A play on words ATM, a play on words.

I DONT GET IT.....

EXPLAIN 



edit *
pleaseeeeeeee

bi-sexual = buy sexual...lame isn't it...

We should rename you Leezee for that effort Kurko! 

dear khem, when will my ear ache/infection stop hurting?  I ve had it since monday and it freakin' huuurrrttts =(

soon i hope, i dont like hearing that you are suffering!




via denial, late conversions, sperm donations and bisexualaity i would imagine

 


only if you are a guy imo

Dear Khem,

the Pat smells like protein shake farts today, 90 percent arse, 10 percent water. It's disgusting. Just keepin ya in the loop.

Love Baygirl

Hope you are keeping well xo

Dear bec

The pat always smells like at least 80% arse

yo khem, where should i go to buy shoes/sneakers online?

pickyourshoes.com

And the joke is stolen! 

Dear Khem,

I am trying to ask you a question and I can not get the wording correct, so for now how was Paris?

And will the guy that I seen get hit by a car be okay and will I continue to freak out about it for the rest of the evening.


X Bek

Yo Khem (or anyone),


When I visit some websites firefox goes from fullscreen to windowed mode by itself. Why? Does it do this to you?

Cause some website designers are bloody idiots and think that people want their browser windows resized automatically.

You can probably disable it by disabling javascript (I think that's how it's done) but then many other components of other websites might not work.

Well thats pretty annoying. Silly people.

dear everyone

is my avatar animated to you? it stopped a while ago for me. it has me confused.

thanks for listening

Not animated for me. Can't say I recall it ever actually being animated either.

for fuck sake.

i laughed my arse off when i first saw this gif and its not even animated anymore for some reason.

farkern!

never been animated kurko

well that was easy!

thanks

It's animated for me...

It starts with some cartoon head thing with a wide open mouth then goes to some kid at a mic and a laser shining behind his head.

yeah, I found a new link. last time i searched i spelled incorrectly.

OK cool. Definitely working now then.

dear hiders

you never used to hide

why do you hide now?

it makes me a sad panda

thanks for keeping me up to date on the pat stench. it is well known for being stenchy, but this is the first time ive seen it broken down into percentages. impressive!




quaz handled that one nicely. mate of mine uses eastbay a bit too.






paris was awesome. weather was crap but we managed to time every thing nicely so we missed the worst of it. the people there were really friendly and it is a really beautiful place even tho its public transport system smells of urine.

the guy suffered minor injuries but is expected to make a full recovery.




animated over here!




i conducted a brief survey of those in hidden mode and they advised me they all suffer from a phobia of pandas, happy or sad...

Yo Khem,

Does a dimmer light use less, more, or the same electricity?

Thanks

p.s. Paris! WOW!!!1 that would have been unreal!

Less.

leezee got the question right



paris was awesome, weather was a bit crap but the place is really beautiful and everyone was friendly and helpful. will get some pics up soon!

Dear Khem,

27 down. 'A young woman's strange, erotic journey from Milan to _____' (Seingeld line) 5 letters
31 across. 'Unshaven, as a pussy' 8 letters
34 down. 'Submissive hooker? 9 letters

Any clues as to what they may be, Khem?

Dear Khemmo,

What happened to Pro Booty?

Cheers miss I am now learning to cookavich!

dear anyone,

do you think they'll turn the Northern Lights off on saturday night for Earth Hour??

curious SA

minks not sure on the spelling though.

he's a personal trainer now and doesn't cook anymore at all.

Excellent,

Also Khem or anyone else,

Is it cold today or just me?

 minsk I think
 
 Rochelle Rochelle.

gold stryke, obviously a fan

meth?

No he used to be a chef.

woooah you missed that one 

khem, why does bekavich have a big avatar?? is she secretly pleasuring moderators in return for big av's?

It's not really big... urs is just small
And it's a pretty fuckin cool av Bek!!!

Damn how did you find out?

Khem wasn't supposed to know either you know!

Argh!!!

Dear Khem,

On Saturday Supanova is on, and I have been asked to give a short speech on how to get into the games industry.

Do you think standing up and saying “you will need to learn to suck a lot of cock” will be adequate, or will I need to expand on it?

I borrowed it from another very cool drum and bass forum, and no I am not pleasuring any mods.

Expand on the cock? 

 Just do that thing where you swallow a zuchini whole.

 They will pick it up from there.

 

Dear Khem

Where has lexy been these days?

She is AWOL during the day

In the name of the father the son and the holy spirit

Amen

i think she has reversed her sleeping patterns




instead of speaking abour your own experience in getting into the industry you could ask your peers how they got to where they are today


its the same width as everyone else's, just longer... dunno why!




its cold today, but im on the other side of the planet to you


probably, they need to be all politically correct and that





where did you find this crossword? bit risque...

I am going on other people's experience...

However, I'm not doing the talk now (it's on too early and I'm seeing Bukem the night before), but Clara is, so I'm just going to sit and imagine her swallow a zuchini whole...

how much longer are the northern lights on for? I've been meaning to check em out!!

they finish on sunday night!

thanks fairy

I am thinking of hiring a cocktail machine.

does anyone know if they good? value for money? ive seen em behind bars but not sure what they are like to hire

around $200 for 16L which includes the premixes

soudns good to me! fun! do u have to clean it after?

Aren't cocktails relatively easy to make? What special stuff does a cocktail machine do?

Hey trashy, you should change the quote under your avatar.... it's not womad time anymore

i know, i have been searching for a theme!!!!

wanted a prince avatar, maybe of him doing some funky dance moves...or maybe i want some random disco freak avatar?? or maybe a film one? will get onto it...

i think the cocktail machine keeps the cocktail cool and dispenses it. like frostbite's used to have!

A bit like a fridge and an arm? Seems like a waste of $200 to me.

yeh i just like the idea of slushys on tap

 

True. What do you need it for? Can you get other people to chip in?

Dear Khem,

why must good things come to an end? Why cant i have a private jet?

thanks
missing

well... now I am thinking of just doing the punch. I make a good punch so that will do

Really, I was just asking if anyone had got one before and if it was worth it.

I dont really need to get people to chip in, i can afford it and when i put on drinks I dont really want people chipping in, its more of a "cocktails on me!" scenario

However, I do think once I buy all of the vodka for the machines, then its kinda getting a lil too dear

 

Khem,

Where can I find somewhere that sells mirrors other than freedom and ikea? I need to invest in a large mirror for a birthday gift however I am yet to find a satisfactory item.

Ta

K Mart, Target, Myer???
Copperart?
Casual Living?
One of those balinese import places?

if you have a blender just spend 200 bucks on ice, ingredients and alcohol.


because nothing lasts forever, and because private jets cost silly money


there is a mirror shop just near the corner i used to live at. next door/couple doors down from jack horners, which is across the road from the avenues shopping centre in stepney. no idea on prices tho.

Khemophlarge,

When are Sandra Sully and the Sport's Tonight guy gonna do it? There flirting makes me wanna puke!

i dont think she will hit it, i think she is a bit more professional than that. however she is back on the prowl again...

think he's got a wedding ring on but who knows

thats never stopped anyone

I heard Bailey was playing in Adelaide when I am back. I have seen nothing to confirm this. Oh wise one is this a pipe dream?

This is the only info I could find on it, haven't seen any confirmed bookings on any other Aussie DnB forums as yet...

Na no Bailey in April, clash with other events or something...

dear khem,
what happened to that new word association game thread?
i think ATM posted it?

there is the old word association thread and the pic association thread

i wasnt aware there was another one - how was it different to these ones?

It was where someone asks something like tea or coffee? and then the next person answers with which they prefer and a new word i.e coffee or ___? and so on. it was meant to be my work entertainment today

It was called this or that i think

cant find any threads called this or that - just did a search for all of atm's posts/threads and found nada... definitely dont recall seeing it...

i think you two might have imagined it!

Bawahahaha Thats what I need. Go you halves?

Aww they must have deleted it! bring it back!

stryke saw it too!  but i guess we are all pisces and do have crazy imaginations!   

Hmm. I got word from the horse's mouth that he is coming, not sure on the date though.

Yeah i  think it was postponed, ie not in April...

My life. It needs more Bailey.

Deal! I have noticed by your post's that you, just like me can not save money so i think we may have to steal one! Ill supply the balaclavas, you get the bolt cutters!

Cant be that hard to fly can it?

Call stryke or me.

Dear Khem,

So its my birthday on Friday, what should I do to celebrate?

Thanks Bekky

party like it is on sale for $19.99!

I did that last night and I am suffering accordingly now.

I would like to have a tea party, just not sure where.

tea party eh?

coffee is the fashionable hot drink, there arent many tea houses in adelaide. the only one i can think of is in the bottom of david jones i think so im not sure it would be suitable.

happy birthday for friday btw - just in case i forget

go to saldechin! its a chinese tea salon/yumcha/cocktail bar its on king william st,and mega cool looking. i think you can still get coffees there, but it aint half as cool as tea. http://www.saldechin.com/

now, speaking of tea, and teapots, the latest craze in sydney is TEAPOT cocktails! yep, cocktails served in a teapot. which u drink using a straw or from the spout...dunno, kinda trendy!!!!

ahh nice one anna, i totally forgot that place! i actually went there for food one time and it was really good, and its really nice inside!

T bar on gougar

t-bar would be ok, but saldechin does HIGH TEA including probably, sparkling wine!!! yum! and the high tea is pretty cheap.

its such a fun way to spend an arvo, i am organing a high tea asap!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_(meal)

Boho on unley rd also do a high tea!

Yep I need to rsvp for that Charity High Tea at Boho

dear khem/AM

i was driving along hamstead rd this morning to work, and noticed to speed cameras on the same side of the road about 10metres apart.  are they allowed to do that, or do you think they were just retarded officers that didn't realise the either were there?

confused and thankfully not speeding!

Just got a new phone, Nokia E65. It's not a 'Telstra approved phone', but they sent me the MMS settings for a Nokia N70 instead. Can someone please send me an MMS so I can see if it's working !?

you can actually send a test MMS to your own number, this will test if you can send and receive with your new settings.


not sure about that. i know they have them just down the road from the red light speed cameras all the time. its pretty dodge, even if it is legally allowed imo. having two cameras right next to each other is not about reducing speed and preventing accidents, it is about double dipping and getting more fines. the only thing i could think of that would make it not dodgy was if they were running tests to compare if the two cameras were clocking people at the same speed.

if people dont want to get fined, then dont speed! i hate it when people complain about shit like that, anyways, i think khem is right, prob testing the cameras

Agreed!

Agreed, but two cameras right next to each other is a waste of time compared to two cameras in separate places, therefore that is inefficient at getting more people to stop speeding, therefore it's shit. I'd hope they weren't both snapping people.

Why is two close to each other a waste? It means that they can send one fine for the capture from one camera and another fine from the capture of the other. Double revenue! The other bonus is that the guys who go and pickup the vehicle with the camera in it can chill out together while their cameras sit there taking photos!

Seems pretty sensible from a revenue raising perspective to me (that's what they're there for after all).

It's not exactly two instances of speeding though is it.

It's like two cops catching you robbing a bank and sentencing you twice.

Don't bring logic or fairness into this Fluke. It's about revenue raising!

 

dear whoever how much does it cost to get into the motor show?

NO SHIT HEY I have seen THREE cameras on South road all around the Morphett Vale area before- one after the other around xmas time. Man that pissed me off seeing that

fuckers

$14, I'm gonna probably gonna head down after work tonight



If they do that on a long weekend with double demerit points you could lose your licence with one small indiscretion from your right foot

It shouldnt be all about raising revenue though! It should be about saving lives!

Its like saying "oh taxes should be really high! Its pretty sensible from a revenue raising perspective"

"Oh Fringe benefit tax should be more. Its pretty sensible from a revenue raising perspective"

"oh, smoking is bad so increase the taxes. Its pretty sensible from a revenue raising perspective"

"Oh Parking fines..... they should be more so they are a deterrant! Its pretty sensible from a revenue raising perspective""

"oh, land taxes... increase them...Its pretty sensible from a revenue raising perspective"

When the fuck does it all end thats my question. There has to be a line somewhere... and for two or three cameras in a row, IMO thats where the government is crossing the line.

Not just that... any application you have with Government just to get a basic service these days theres fees....and it goes up each year! I mean hell, for a couple without kids or a single worker it gets beyond the joke where you just cant afford it anymore. There is seriously hardly any tax benefits for people without children. Its just take take take.

I'm not just talking about speeding fines, I'm talking about any type of revenue raiser that Governments implement.

Man, that felt good getting that rant off my chest. 

Erika I was being sarcastic...

Nice rant though.

Top effort babe

Dear Khem,

why do my sunnies always fog up on the bus?

love sal x

Yeh i got fired up.

I hate hate hate paying things for nothing 

You're uber smart ! I haven't sent one yet, so the sending might not work ! Will test now : )

Dear Khem,

Will someone please strangle Naomi Campbell already?

Love me

what she done this time??? *checks dlisted.com*

dear khem,


1- i wish there was a back to top button on this forum like the old one.

2- i just realised i have hundreds of websites bookmarked. Seriously like hundreds, is that bad?


lau   r   e   n

coz ur hot baby

I know you wrote "dear khem" but maybe we can do something about this. When you say 'back to top' do you want to go to the top of the page as if it has just loaded or do you want the top post on the page at the top of your screen (and not the AM logo and other info)?

back to top as though it has just loaded so you dont have to scroll up

aww shucks!!

Can you describe where it was on the old forum please? I don't remember because I never used it.

hmmmm i think it was in the corner of every post on the page cant remember if it was left or right side of the page though. in blue writing to click on.

K. Might look into it over weekend.

 

dear khem,

do we still have the 'what stupid song is in your head' thread?

Found it and bumped it 

Dear Khem,

What time & day is it in ur part of the world?

It's nearly 3am thurs nite/fri morn here...And 5.30pm Fri nite in the massive.

So...i still have 21 hours of being bday gal here in the US, even tho, according to the massive, its already been my bday for 17.5 hours.

Im trying to rape the bday system....i think its working.



Pity im too sore and blistered to be out drinkin with the others. Doh

ooh i am thinking, wet tshirt party with loads of cocktails! that way, the cool shirt will cool down ur burns, no need for a bra either , and the drinks will put the pain out (specially if u chuck in some american painkillers!)

cos you are so hot!





people have tried... people have been beaten up and had phones thrown at them...





1 - didnt even know that existed. the pgup or home button on your keyboard will do the same thing until we figure out if it can be done on this forum.

2 - its only bad if it is chock full of shit you never look at


8am friday

party on!

HEY!! i've already used that one

i guess that makes it unanimous then!

 

hahaha so it does

go Sal

Khem, can you post some pics of hot Surreal please?

Oatmeal with cranberries and cashews




all the hot cereal you need

 

Man that was so lame it was actually funny.

Who even puts cashews in their fucking oatmeal?

It doesn't look like oatmeal anyways!

Who cares Lexy! It certainly isn't Surreal and that's what matters!

i'll let sal take care of that... although if you were on facebook or myspace you could always check out her profile...

Damn.

I can handle the "networking" component of facebook/myspace/other social networking sites but the "social" part just doesn't work for me.

why are you so scared for us to know who you are?

Do you go out? Has anyone ever actually met Oli?

Suspicious IMO 

A few privileged people have actually met me...

That said some here still think I am not a real person and that I am actually khem's second account or something. :o

He's a superhero. It would not be good for business if his true identity was known to us plebs.

Dear Khem,

I just made banana cup cake's. Would you like one?

I would love one. Can you keep it for me until I get back?

Khem do you miss Farmers Union Iced Coffee?

I'll post it! Just don't let anyone else sign for it!

i've met him! and there are pics to prove he DOES come out sometimes! u'll have to hunt them out, they are public for people to see em

Dear Spacey,

your cupcakes look so good. i am sad ive never had one

Ooh, I have! 


Oooer, I'm priv-i-leged.


Hahahaha.

nah i dont like coffee


thanks! might be safer to send it to my work address!

hello, email? free instant sending an' shit.

What kind do you want. tell me 2 of your favourite flovours and ill bring the goods! I guesing Choclolate, cherry's or some form of Berry. Let me know lady ill sort you out! I even have the prefect sprinkles waiting for you. do you habe a bithday/milestone coming up? What about a week of no ciggys! That deserves cup cakes for sure!

Im a baking maniac at the moment! i think im nesting!

Also Phlarge pants,

Do you know of any good wedsites to pick up hotel room deas in aus? Sydney and melb style?

pimpin

khem. how can I show my love for am board?

www.lastminute.com.au

i am sure there is another one like this but i cannot remember the name of it


might have problems uploading the attachment innit






online or in real life?

i can knock up a banner, but the in real life thing i am working on and should have an announcement soon(ish)

In the meantime send me I can send you my bank account details so you can empty your account in to mine. Want me to PM them to you or send them to your email address?

Does it cost you that much to run AM?

I would gladly contribute some money now and then if you had like a pay pal set up..

My £1 is worth like $2 right? So if everyone gave you like that a month or even $2 a year... it all helps?


On other boards they give the people who pay extra things like, access to uploading photos and things?

I run a business providing (amongst other things) webhosting. It doesn't cost me directly to host AM since all my other clients cover the cost of the webhosting (and then some more as I'm not a charity obviously). I have some spare resources available so it's not a problem for me to host the forum without anyone paying for it...

I don't think there's any demand here to have some kind of system where people can pay more to get extra features. If that comes up in future I'd consider it but considering the amount of free services available to host videos and images and all kinds of other data I can't imagine it being necessary.

ahh cool.

do you not get money from advertising banners of anything? Thats usually a good souce of income too.

since the costs to run the site are very small and i usually receive more than this amount back in beer/free entry the banners are free on adelaide massive!



besides, we arent running this forum to become millionaires. if it helps to promote local dnb and small businesses and also helps brighten the place up a bit so i dont mind putting them up for free.

I actually just put the advertising line in in the last month - you can probably see it below the quick reply box... The line starts with 'Ads by Google'. So far nobody has clicked on them. I actually did it more as an experiment than anything else and might remove them again sometime down the track.

As khem said he has become and alcoholic thanks to the banners at the top right of the screen.

so what exactly do you need my bank money for OLI?

Not striipers and coke I hope?

I was kidding. If you gave me money I wouldn't spend it on strippers and coke though, just so you know!

does anyone know if the licensing/rego place is open tomorrow morn?

they are usually m-f 9-5 but they do have some services available online.

http://transport.sa.gov.au/

I noticed that and wondered why they were there... if they'd always been there and I'd never noticed before, or what.

Well actually I decided to start saving for a BMW and I thought any extra income stream would help. After it being online and having over 10,000 impressions as of today Google says that nobody has clicked on them yet so I've earnt exactly $0.00 from them so far, so I'm not sure it's going to help me much.

I'd click on them to help you out for the time you put into this site if they were anything decent mate! At the moment down the bottom I have: Perth Temperature   Adelaide Oz   Adelaide Trip   Weather Statistics

I have absolutely zero interest/need in any of these links!

I don't have any interest in the ones I see either.

It's using Google's adsense system where it generates the links based on what's on the page. It all looks like pretty random and unrelated crap to me most of the time as well.

How about I give you mine?

It's driving me mad at the moment as little things keep fucking up on it. And using genuine parts to keep fixing it is sending me broke.

Is it an M5 or an M3 from the last 3 years? 

If not I'm not really interested to be honest.

dear anyone,

is rent usually paid monthly in the US?

Afraid not. But like them (and every other BMW built), it is overated and overpriced.

The moral of the story - this badge:

just ain't worth the price tag that comes with it.

Everyone on my dads side of the family have always driven BMW's and they're always more trouble than they're worth.Although I would recommend buying shares in the company as shit always breaks on them and the money they make from charging ridiculous amounts for new parts will mean their profit will continue to go through the roof.

Hmm...

OK. I'll consider an Audi Quattro of some sort. The A5s are pretty nice I reckon.

Audi FTW!!!!!

Obviously they ain't no Porsche but in terms of value they're definitely the pick of the Germans.

freight, import taxes and economic price conversion probably play much bigger roles in this. if you were living in Germany and earning local currency you probably wouldn't think parts are as costly as you currently do.

probably.

Nah, I think its more a case that most people who buy BMW's don't realy care about the cost of things so they just accept paying stupidly high repair costs. So BMW keep charging them more and more.

Dear Khem,

i hope this hasnt been asked already, i was just wondering: my phone changed automatically the other weekend for day light savings and i had to change it back, do i now have to change it manually or will it update automatically again?

Bec

reckon u will just have to change it yourself, unless you've updated the settings since last saturday/sunday

Agreed. Phorte drives a really nice Audi

Dear Khem,

Door 1 or door 2, which one do you open?

Don't ask Khem because he only ever opens the back one!

oh, yeh its dalylight savings tonight! I forgot

Do we wind it back or forward LOL

i imagine this would depend on your phone and the settings. you can usually go turn off the auto update and set it manually.




i'd like to see what is behind door 2 thanks!

 

hey babe, i just checked with 2 Americans here, and they said generally yes, its paid monthly. U can usually find weekly places, but need to look for em...

Dearest Khem,

Is it ok for me to have a beer or do I need to drive somewhere later on?

Sincerely hating P plates


John

thanks babe 

Take the P-Plates down.

Not a risk I'm willing to take..

Lose License, Lose Job.

khem, why is it so frowned upon to wear socks with thongs? i been running it heaps lately, even to the shops. much better option than crocs which i would never wear.

I wear socks with thongs. Frown back at those frowning

I sport that look many of a time. It used to be my regular getup at Tonic.

Doesn't the fact that thongs have a bit going between your big toe and the one next to it tell you guys that they just weren't ever meant to be worn with socks*?



* Not counting toe socks.

you do put forward an interesting sock fact there. after a few steps the sock forms a very snug fit around the toe. i will continue to run this look 

 

I used to think you were cool... 

You think socks with thongs are frowned upon...
You should see the looks when I go down to the shops with my cock sock.

Lauren I just added this icon to each post on the top left corner... Click it and it'll take you to the top of the page you're on.

  thanks oli

yeah, socks and thongs dont really go together, but it is definitely better than owning a pair of crocs. its uncomfortable because of the toe thing, plus thongs are meant to worn while it is hot. if it is hot, wtf are you doing wearing socks? walking barefoot over a fiery bed of aids infested needles is better than walking anywhere in crocs. if you insist on wearing open toed footwear with socks i suggest you get a pair of these:







id suggest playing it safe. losing your licence sucks. even if you dont lose it, going to court also sucks.

QFT.

i love wearing my birkenstocks with socks. thats ok tho, cause i am almost a doctor of philosophy

what is the green arrow above each post? is that new?

oh **edit** whoops sorry just read what it was

what does the other 'pages' one next to it do

not much by the look of it

seems to take you to the bottom of the previous post your looking at.

scroll down a bit and try it!

I guess you've all worked out what the new green arrow does... The icon next to it is useful if you want to link someone on MSN or ICQ or whatever to a specific post on the forum, rather than just linking them to the thread alone when you want them to see it from a certain post onwards.

yay for the green arrow. scrolling on a laptop sucks.

I've used that one many times directing people to certain posts in a thread. Trouble is it never seems to work properly for me, if I click the link I have made it will go to the right page but sits at the top and doesn't scroll to the post like the # operator does in a webpage? Any idea why?

Edit: Just tested it with a search link. It does actually scroll down but not always to the right spot. It goes a bit too far and misses the post but gets the general area it's in. Maybe it's a resolution thing, I'm running pisspoor 1024x768 on this laptop...

hmmm it was all about door 1! Gonna take a while before i trust you with a question again!

Dear Khem,

When will new episodes of Entourage be gracing us with their presence?

Hangingoutformore.

HBO has renewed Entourage for a fifth season, with new episodes originally slated to air in June of 2008, but this has been pushed back to September 2008 due to the writers strike.

dear khem,

i just renewed my L's for what must be at least the 4th maybe 5th or even 6th time. Do you reckon i will get my P's before i have to renew them again?

 

Dear Khem,

When will those annoying detectives on SVU finally die?

Love me

Depends on how bad you would like to drive Lauren.

id like to think so, but probably not given your track record. id like to see you prove me wrong tho!






i think they will die of old age or a freak car accident if you get lucky. ice t will bust a cap in everyone's ass if they tried to kill them through conventional means.
