Ask Khem

Skivies are back.

what is the general consensus on "skivvies and helmets"?

which one is cut and which one is natural? there is definitely an area of crossover in interpretation.

i have always been of the thought that a "skivvy" was au-naturale and "helmet" was for cut.

Surely that is correct.

That's how I've always thought it went.

well i have heard, from misinformed people nonetheless, that a helmet wears protection, but a skivvy comes up tight under the head

Are we going to get the ignore function put on here ?

Sorry, there isn't a modification to allow this on the current version of the forum software. We will keep an eye on the modification site but we have no idea when/if the modification will be upgraded so that we can implement it here.

How about a " /me slaps <user> around with a big large trout " ??

 

Well I'm sure it's not the first time 

That's a mighty large 'trout' you have there Oliver!

You can change affinity in task manager to set programs to run on certain cores, but it resets every time you restart your computer. Was just wondering if there is a way to set it so every time I start a specific program it will only run on two cores. I basically want to help in the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence, but I only want to give them two cores and keep two for myself.

I might also help find a cure for cancer, but that's pretty boring compared to aliens.

Looked at finding a script or program that automatically adjusts the affinity when an application starts, or runs in the background and checks every so often if a process is running and if it is sets the affinity?

Hmmm.

Well I found this: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/bang-dual-processing-buck,815-3.html

But it's not working. I'll have to have a bit more of a play around with it.

Ive written a few batch files to start applications as low priority upon startup.  Wouldnt be too much to set affinity too i imagine.  Just dragged the batch file to the startup folder, only thing is you get a terminal window openning everytime until the file finishes

Is anyone else receiving calls from Melbourne land lines ?

03 9831 4900, 03 9246 4700, 03 9834 2000, 03 9831 6600

I've received about 10 yesterday and today. They let it ring once then hang up. Called it back from work and it's apparantly Telstra. Surely it can't be Telstra ??! I'm already with Telstra and my contract doesn't end for another 18 months.

Is there another one of those scams going where you call the number and it claims you've won a prize ?

It will be telstra spam... they're the worst for it even when you're already with them! Even though you're already with them they'll have other stuff they want you to buy!

But that many calls within 2 days ? They're about an hour apart. So annoying !!
Will they stop if i call them and tell them I'm going elsewhere if they don't stop calling ?

Don't know... we never answer our phone so they just keep calling and calling!

Maybe if you answer and say you're not interested they'll stop for a while?

They don't let it ring long enough. They're just pranking !
Someone once said to me that they call about 5 numbers at once. Whichever one answers first they talk to and then just hang up on the others. I'll try and answer it quickly.
Stupid Toolstra !

Have you pissed off anyone who works at telstra? 

A call centre dude prank called us for months!

No one from Telstra in Melbourne ;p

FunkyJ, where do you work ??! Is it you ??! GRRR ! ;p

googled the numbers and it looks like telstra

you should be able to ring up any company you are with and ask to opt out of all of their marketing. can take up to 6 weeks for the request to fillter through all the different departments but the option is available.

Why did we eat so much last night? And who's idea was Icecream?

Cos it was damn good, I'll take the blame for the ice cream...

dear khem,

whatever happened to free samples in the mail?

lauren

i was still getting them before i left, free samples of shampoo, face creams, washing detergents, and even toothpaste that i never used. a lot of companies do send out free samples, may pay to hit up some websites and see what you can get!

oh what thats gay. maybe i live to far out 'in the stix' or maybe my bro just gets to them before me.

Try the Freebies threads here: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum/?action=threads_search&q=freebies&f=

I need to get one for my friend before Friday !!
Just a little figurine or something should be fine.

There's a shop in the arcade near Maccas on the mall that should be able to sort u out.

Yeah I think I know the one. The guy from work suggested the same place.
Thanks !

I think its called Movie maniacs

Thats where I got Reubens light sabre replica prop.

Where can i locate a choper on short notice for say less than $100?

dear khem/someone,

do we still have a makeup thread or was that the old forum?

i beleive the deathmaze beauty thread was on the old board

Dear Khem or anyone,

I have just put my old computer back together for my mother to use, when I go to turn it on the monitor works fine it boots up and everything, then it suddenly says " Out of Range" on the screen.

I have tried cleaning the cable between with no luck.

HELP!!

Windows is trying to start with a screen resolution which the monitor can't handle.

Have you got another monitor to connect to temporarily (ideally something better/with higher specifications)? If so you need to connect it and then reduce the resolution and then reboot it with the monitor you're having problems with.

Screw this I am going to the pub!!

No worries.

But if you need more detailed help I can provide it later, and I'm sure a few others here can as well.

Cheers Oli,

I spat it and decided it was all to hard, after my IT friend decided I was to dumb!!

Can't you login in safe mode and change it there somehow ?
Or turn the PC on and hook them both up the router and log into the old PC remotely and change the screen resolution ?

Or you could just memorise the keyboard commands to get you into the change resolution setting window. 

But yes I'd say safe mode would be the most practical. Possibly even a setting on your monitor to force it show the screen anyway.

What kind of friend calls you 'too dumb'?

Phunkii I seem to recall that if you boot in safe mode you'd have to replace the video card drivers or the monitor driver for that to work. The resolution it would show in safe mode would be whatever it uses in safe mode (640x480 or whatever). Not sure on that though, worth a try!

Remote desktop to it then
Easy 

dumb arse 




Khem. Whats with the forum not liking new threads?

I tried safe mode..

Because it is

how do you mean?

If you start a new thread, I get told it somehow EVERYTIME that it relates to an already existing thread.

Maybe stop making crappy threads that copy old crappy threads then.

 

shut up grumpy grots. like you havent ever made crappy old threads

Haven't heard that in years!

I'm not denying I've made a few crappy old threads. But that isn't the problem here.

It's the making new crapy threads that are the same as the existing ones that is the issue.

still  hahaha! Josh, go answer my question in Cinemania!!

If it was so crappy, why are people replying?
I actually demanded 10 mins ago it was deleted and then delete my account. I had a right huff.

even mr hard house lurver is joinin in a bit of banter now. I wanted to stab his eye out 10 mins ago, but now im swaying to find it quite funny 

Yay or Nay Khem...

Say you introduced this new friend you made to 3 guys.... 3 people who were your friends. They then went on to shag 2 of your them, (which is all good who really cares) but then caused a massive rift between you and the 3rd guy - your best friend. Someone you had been raving for years with, someone who you spent loads of time with. A rift so big to the extent that you now didnt speak to them ever again.

Oh, and then they told everyone that you're the bitch...

Would you be uncontrollable in your anger, or let it all out? Or would you forgive, forget and accept the fat slag for the twat she is?

Just hypothetical like 

I'd be angry for a bit, but in my experince I have found karma will win out so I don't let myself waste too much energy being angry for too long. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be forgiving in the slightest but I would rather put my energy to something more positive and constructive. The guys will probably get fat, have receding hairlines and suffer from premature ejaculation and the girl's uterus may fall out.

Just out of interest what thread are we talking about? Is it that top 10 thread? I reckon it's sufficiently different from the 'what's rocking your shizzle?' thread to justify staying. It's the top 10 d&b tunes each month...whereas WRYS? could be about any type of music you're currently listening to and digging, IMO!

So Khem,
How ya going? You're in England. You might be able to help me out. What's going on between ATM and Dephonix? I can sense some serious TENSION building here, and I'm not leaving til it ends in revelation. Oh, why the fuck am I even bothering asking this question? I can already guess at the gist of the situation. I just want to know if everyone else knows what I'm getting at.
Sincerely
Chris

I plead the fif!

I'm feeling the same thing oh tall one.

I'm eventually gonna take sides in the matter but I'm not making that decision until I see pictures of titties.

 

ahahahah I love you 

And I love stories which involve no names but at the same time don't need to. Juicy gossip without me needing to waste my time by posting something pointless like names or stfu.

yeah we need a new one!

no it was summit else glock, wakey wakey

Khem

Soul Jazz Records does a monthly 2 hour mix on Red Bull Radio. Any ideas where to search for downloads? The Red Bull site only streams the archive.

hmm... i'll have to do some hunting around for ya mate, my usual sources are coming up dry on this.

these mixes only get mp3ed if someone takes the time to rip it. i was responsible for the d:Bridge + sp:mc rip that was about until d:Bridge came out and dropped the proper 320 version.

Dear Khem,

What happened to Lexy? Did I eventually scare her away? Or is she lining up somewhere in the cold waiting for Maroon 5 to get here?

Fuck I lolled hard there.

who makes up jokes?

busy with other stuff last i heard


people make up jokes

is there such thing as a joke making job, or is it just people in their spare time/with nothing better to do ie leezee? 

There are joke books, a joke making mob must write those.... but their jokes are usually less funny than leezee's 

Damn straight.

Dear Khem,
What do you think about E-PC's?

e-pc stands for?

electronic personal computer

duh!

sorry, ee-pc
http://www.trustedreviews.com/notebooks/review/2007/10/30/asus-eee-pc-4g-701/p1

I mean Eee-PC

wouldnt be too bad if all you wanted to do was browse the net and do some word processing.

if you want to do anything beyond that id recommend getting a real pc/laptop.

Or wait for the MSI Wind or Dell's new sub-notebook to come out. They both look a lot better than the eeePC and if they're under $700 I reckon they'd be better than the clunky laptops you get if you're spending under $1200 or so...

Cheers. Will hold on to my cash for the time being.

Smart thinking. Asus triggered something - competition in the sub-notebook market. I suspect in the next 6 months at least 2 others will be released which will mean there are some better options around.

  Thats it mate.

One of my colleagues just got an Eee PC. She loves it! It obviously doesn't replace her desktop PC, but it's super small & easy to transport. Not sure on the specs, but she's a geek & she loves it to bits! 

Damn geeks

Tut why you being mean to Lexy, and has she really dissappeared?

There will be one out shortly from another vendor starting with the letter A that shits all over the Eee PC for around the same price.

Had the chance to play with a prototype the other day, very nice, much better feeling keyboard aswell.

Prob concentrating on her studies like the good lil girl she is.

Khem do you get much money from the google adds thing, was thinking about doing it on our websites.

oli is the man to ask, but i dont think we get much if anything... CLICK MORE BITCHES!!

No she's still around, but for some reason she's avoiding us 

A few grand a month.






















PS. Not really. They've been there for months and the total earnings is a whopping $0.

Where are they? ill randomly click on it if earns ya a dollar or two. 

See here

Many people probably don't even see them cause they're running adblocking software or something.

By the way don't bother. I don't know exactly but each click probably earns like 0.00001 cents. I really only put it there as a test.

 I wonder if u could make a living just by clicking furiously all day

I think they analyse it so that if all the clicks are coming from the same IP then they're not counted after awhile.

Dear Khem,

Just saw Hayley's post about having tonsilitis ... what exactly are tonsils there for ? Other than getting swollen and being irritating, do they have a purpose ?

Phunkiitis

Anyone know where u can buy "Sth American style" steak sauce?

chimichuri?

really easy to make your own, it keeps for about 6 months in the fridge.

you might be able to buy some from say Norberto's or Gaucho's where they make it, or at least ask them for their recipe


your mate should be able to make some up at work for you

Gauchos wont give it out-famous story about Master foods approaching them with a ton of $$ for the recipe and they wouldnt have a bar of it.

and yer, i have many a recipe, and a number of mates have given it a crack-none are like the gauchos one. If subbo was a real chef, h'd be able to work it out i reckon

dunno how you would go finding it on a shelf anywhere in adelaide

not the same gauchos but http://www.gauchoranchfoods.com/

http://www.google.com/products?q=chimichurri&btnG=Search+Products

http://search.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/nsearch?catalog=amigofoods&query=chimichurri



Tonsils act as part of the immune system to help protect against infection. In particular, they are believed to be involved in helping fight off pharyngeal and upper respiratory tract infections.

bitter

Ahh ... that's why I'm constantly getting faryngitis !! I want my tonsils back !

Mine grew back... rare but possible.
I couldn't even remember having them out. Went into hospital a few years back and they were trying to tell mum that I just had tonsilitis (which I didn't in the end anyway) and mums swearing at them saying that I had them out when I was around 7. The junior doc went and got a boss doc and she then informed us that they can grow back and they had.

Maybe you have magic powers cleasc... quick chop of a toe and see if it grows back 

Haha, unfortunetly not... I'm just 'special' unlike all of you

i can rip the hair on my back out, and it just grows right back time and time again, beat THAT!!

I can rip the hair off the top of my head.

And it doesn't grow back!!!! BEAT THAT!

wow, that's fucking amazing 

Now kurko pull the hair out of your back and make it grow back on noddy's head!

You sound hawt

What do you put in the fridge to make it not smell funny ? Is it baking soda ?
Our fridge smells like pepper, it's really strange ...

Carb Soda I think. The stuff you chuck on the floor when the dog urinates everywhere anyway. Blue and white box me thinks.

baking soda

Dear Khem,

there is a guy travelling with us that looks like your twin!! Serious double!

Bec xxo

pics or stfu

Dear Khem,

A guy walked into the pub last night and i really really thought it was you. Are you santa? How can you be in 3 places at once?

Dear Khem,

Do you or anyone else know any sites on the internet you can list Caravans for sale like you can cars?

Thanks Bekky.

trading post innit bek?

Yo Dave,

Dad already has the caravan listed in there, just wondering if there was any caravan specific sites.

Bek.

P.s- you <3 the trizz poppers.

i don't know what <3 means but trizz-poppers are almost as deep thinkers as yoda so it isn't really that silly

Dear Khem.

Can you please provide me with an in depth time line of Adelaide Massive.

Sincerely Yours,

Bored Bekky.

Pretty sure there is one of those Just Cars magazines for Caravans. Probably called Just Caravans.

i'm a ginger ninja, i can appear everywhere and nowhere at once

This is the best you are gonna get out of me first thing on a Sunday...

Monday, February 10, 2003 : Adelaide Massive was created

~loads of events, mixes, big ups, rants, couple of server crashes and software changes~

Sunday, June 15, 2008: Now

Then make it your project captain Ginger parts.

<3 is a sideways heart, it means lurve.

oh & cute monkey bek!

<3- if you do that in Facebook you get a love heart, thanks I was bored with my old avatar.

dear khem

is bek trying to beat a world record of posting in every thread within 3 minutes?!

I would also like to know the answer to this. I don't refresh AM for 5 minutes and there is a whole page of threads to read.

Bored, that is my answer no one is online to chat to me..

Add me

what's a good audiostream ripping program?

Im bored too. I have nothing to do at work but browse the net, and limited net access it is.

Rah. I need a new job, but the money here for doing fuck all is really good.

tell me about it, i really do get a bit bored but when i am being paid silly money to surf the net and do not much else, who am i to complain?


stream ripper was a good one i think

if the file is an m3u - right click save as - look in the file and you can normally find the link to an mp3 anyway

ah ha, result though, my team leader has just sorted a laptop with full internet access. Things dont get much better 

He needs to hurry up now, ive been waiting 3 months 
I shall be on myspace and doa causing havoc now 

i can always just plug a loop from my speakers/out to my line in and record that way right?

if you open up sound forge/wavelab/cubase, etc (any program that can 'record what you can hear') you can record as you listen - is that what you mean?

if you do this, make sure you turn off sounds in msn/windows/etc or else you might find a couple of weird noises on your recording

oh yeah of course 



still haven't reinstalled soundforge since i got rick rolled by that trojan though.

might have to go buy another copy cos i lost mine 

You can use Windows Movie Maker, choose the Narrate option and set the source to stereo mix. Holding a mic up to the speaker works better IMO though. 

NEW QUESTION!!

i recorded RAGE the other night on my HDD and my editing software will not save my cropped file because it says my file system does not support files > 4G, when the tv card program saved the original 25gig file, and i'm running NTFS....?? help!

Try clicking some random buttons in Administrator support or whatever it's called. Drive management I think. Strange though....

Edit: Are you trying to save the cropped file to the same drive? If you aren't then try that. If you are then try saving it to an external or other drive.

Dear Khem,

Is the answer yes or no.

Thanks Bekky

depends

I think ive marked my terrority Khem

I was wondering why my computer smelt like stale piss.

Looks more like a bum to me

Dear Khem

Betadine Sore Throat Gargle-Seriously man, WTF?

WTF indeed... doesnt sound like anything I wanna try anytime soon.

ali has it and swears by it. she tried to make me use it a while ago so i backhanded her. still reckons it works though.

ít's fucking disgusting, but it does work!

Dear Khem,

Why do people say cat got your tongue? which cat steals tongues?

luv me x

there are a few theories about where this saying came from...

 Theory #1
The saying comes from the Middle East, where as punishment, liars had their tongues ripped out and fed to the king's cats.

Theory #2
Fear of a whipping with a cat-o'-nine-tails, or "cat" for short, could paralyze a victim into silence.

Theory #3
The expression comes from the Middle Ages when witches were greatly feared and often put to death. It was believed that if you saw a witch, her cat would somehow "steal" or control your tongue so you couldn't report the sighting.

Theory #4
"There's no particular logic to 'cat got your tongue,' except that cats have served as the object of human myth and metaphor for thousands of years."

yahoo answers FTW!!

whenever an old dude at my work doesnt want to answer any of my questions he says to me:

"A cats got a pup, and he wont give it up!"

Took me a while that one, but I have employed it for my own!

Nice one gramps

why does it say DJ KEYSER's adelaide massive?!

did i miss something?

shouldnt it say kysler?

divine intervention imo

Dear Khem,

Is it possible to get around things like the BBC iPlayer and other country restricted websites?

If so, how?

first thing i would try is using a proxy which is based in a country that can view the content

proxies are blocked at work tho so i cant test it for ya

On a similar note I wonder if any solution to this problem would work for a related problem in Thailand. Heaps of filesharing sites (eg. Rapidshare, which works, I'm referring to another which I've forgotten) are blocked here due to too many illegal uploads from this country. Bastards!

Khem there is a short fat man in a suit & tie standing in front of me winging about a used car dealer. I am trying to work on a project & he is really starting to shit me to tears.

Should i:

A: state the obvious tell him hes fat & hope he goes somewhere else
B: punch him
C: tell him i know patchy

how long should i cook roast beef?

take meat out of fridge two hours before cooking

preheat oven to 230

roast for 15 minutes

reduce to 200

roast for 15-20 min per 500gm

cheers

d: just pretend to listen until he runs out of steam, he will disappear soon enough...

noddy was right in the other thread - lamb ftw

but if i am ever gonna cook a roast beef it is gonna be like this

dear accountants,

this FY i have earned bugger all, and lost/paid fuckloads on ASX. is it possible to rollover these financial downfalls in the stockmarket to the following FY in order to maximise my return at tax time both this year and next?

thanks in advance.

Dear Khem,

Why do people ask for financial advice on the Internet?

Cheers,
Oli

it's not advice, just a yes/no answer

Would you take it seriously though without consulting someone who can legally give you advice (ie. your accountant)? That's a yes or no question as well.

depends on who answers.

if someone comes up with "Rob is a toilet" then no. if Jayar answers then no - he is ALWAYS wrong. if someone with some credability, or at least enough mumbojumbo in their post replies, then yes.

HAHAHAHAHA



Funniest thing I've read in ages.



Credibility! on AM of all places!

i burnt a cd this morning and now it's skipping here and there.  why?  disc is good.

You have probably burnt it at a too high speed. The slower the burner speed the less chance it has of skipping

ah, it was at 24x, but i don't recall it coming up with an option to change it... hmm, will have to check it out when i get home.  cheers.

and make sure u dont have many applications running at once, that can cause lil errors too

Dear Khem,

where has courtney gone?

also... what would a 5 year old boy want for his birthday?

Just get him a spideman figurine or something... boys are easy to buy for!!!

Porn ?
A restraining order against Noddy ?
Busted light globe ?

preferably a light bulb from a car taillight

Dear Khem.

Or should I say, dear corporate ladies of AM.

I need corporate business attire for a conference in Melbourne. Please tell me where to get said corporate attire. I don't like the dresses that are out now as they make me look like a brick, so nice dresses or nice suits please. Thanks!

melbourne

I knew someone would say that! 

Unfortunately I need said clothes before I get to Melbourne.

There's a place on Hindley Street that sells work uniforms and corporate suits and stuff. They're the people who put the S&L logo on our clothes. They have heaps nice pants and shirts and stuff.
Else ... maybe Myer ? But that could be pricy :/

That place you're talking about is Neat N Trim - i'm decked out in my Neat N Trim right now!!!  it's not too bad.. for work stuffs.

Dear Khem.

Why is it that when I am clicking on some articles on smh.com.au that it askes to send and "error report" and boots me out? This doesnt happen on any other news site that I go to.

lego or matchbox cars




try clearing your temp inet files and cookies, restarting the browser and trying again. if it still happens maybe reinstall the browser.

It's against my religion to wear anything 'corporate' but I would have thought you could try David Jones?

Yep that's it ! I love their long jacket ! And the vest over the shirt ;p And the skirt with the huge split up the side but it's okay because it has the corporate logo on it !! ;p

Dear Khem ... WHERE IS COURTNEY ??! What did you do to her ?

though i may not be khem my guess is HYRULE

Hey khem, yesterday I got another letter from that weirdo who wants to be my penpal 

I think he may have got my details from ebay because that's the only place I can think of that lists my full name and address... beware of sellers who are stalkers 


bye khem... thanks for listening 

wasnt me! try asking troy maybe...


weird

you should reply

'there is no deathmaze, only ZUUL'

I always get my work shit from Target, it's cheap and the range is a bit gay but it's only work. Plus they have a 40% off sale at the moment, (i think)

she has to impress people i hope they like tar-jeh

I found this mix on my computer called Neuro.mp3 ... it's some sort of fast breaky funky technoey drum'n'bassy thing ... it's a mix.
Does anyone happen to know what it could be ? Perhaps you have the same file on your pc ??! I can't find anything in the D/L thread on here about it, so I got NFI where it came from.

possibly ryan?

Sounds too 'pots and pans' though !! Plus it says it was last modified this year ...
*shrug* ... I'm just curious to know who's mixing it etc ... I thought one of the 'pots and pans' fans might have the same file on their PC and know what it was

The name sounds very familer. In fact I think I have a copy on cd here somewhere

Apparantly I downloaded it in March ... the link must have been posted on here at some stage then.

I really like it ... although it's not my usual taste in broken beats ... it's why I wonder who it actually is hehehhehe

Khem you know that short fat white guy i wanted to punch during the week? well now i have to work with him.

Do i have permission to fire? 

in the temple of the ocean king

i recommend myer and dj's for their sale! and try out temt, they often have nice stuff in there. jeanswest has really nice pants and neat bright tops too

if you were in a position to fire he wouldnt be hired in the first place. permission denied.

Cheers for all the suggestions everyone. Blew $500 on a suit, dress, shirt and two pairs of shoes this morning at portmans and DJs.
Thank God that's over with! Now I can go back to being all smart-casual until the conference.

you have changed khem

Dear Khem,

Will they ever invent MC's that you can turn off with a remote like subtitles on your DVD player?

dear khem/anyone

can someone that has nothing to do, please find/post the lord of the rings animated  gif that says Po Ta Toes


Need it for some work comedy


thanks

haha thankyou!!!!

Yo khem or someone, know anything about jewellery?

What kind of price can I expect for an old 18K gold necklace? Like should I expect close to the gold value, or gold value minus 10%, or 20%?

Delivers! 

I've seen that one to say Mo Naked Hos too.

Dear Khem,
What is a good park in Adelaide? I have Botanic and Elder already, with their access to toilets being a plus. Rymill is up there too. Are there any others? Preferably one where wine can be drunk without being fined.
It needs to be in Adelaide/surrounding areas due to the need for a central location.

Bonython?

Fucking Thorndon Park FTW!!!

Thorndon, Keyser? Where's that?

Haywood park, but just because there is a kilo of hash buried in it somewhere! 

Athelstone, just watch out for the wogs. 

I think there may even be a website around,  which is dedicated to good public toilets

Do you really wanna go to them though? fuck getting hep etc  when it could be avoided. 

cant you just get drunk at home

We could, but it would be very hard to walk into town for dinner if we were at my place. 

Seconded.

Great park. I may be biased since my house is about 200m away but it's got barbies, plenty of shade, good walking paths around the water and it's secluded enough to get away with some serious drinking!
There's a decent area at the back to kick a footy as well. Interesting bit of history: it was the first reservoir built in Adelaide - providing a proper alternative water supply to the Torrens.

It's on Stradbroke Rd. at the Athelstone/Paradise/Newton end. Just turn down Gorge Rd. off Lower North East Rd. and turn left at the first big roundabout you get to.

Edit: Just noticed you want to walk into town after. It's almost 16km into town from there haha! It's right near a bus route straight into town though...

I've walked from town to Thorndon Park before. Paroletic. Great fun. Takes about 2 hours.

long drunk walks are the best.

couple of mates and i walked from the city to aberfoyle park a few years ago. flagstaff hill road hurt.

I have walked from Hallet Cove to North Adelaide drunk and charging.. Took about 6 hours..

yeah Schwatta walked from AAMI stadium to Elizabeth Grove took about 5

Fuck that!!! I did Marion to Hallet Cove more than a few times in the NYBG & Zanzibar days.

What the hell did you do that for, Grimey? Didn't your hips and knees hurt after that? I walked from TTP to David Jones in town the other week along linear park and could barely move after it.

The furthest i reckon i've walked wasn't in adelaide it was coolangatta to broadbeach, then a few more drinks and broadbeach to surfers

Well I had a fight with my missus at the time and couldnt be fucked waiting around for a ride home so I though fuck it I will walk, surley it cant be THAT far.. When I got home I collapsed just inside the front door and thats where I stayed for the next 8 hours. I could barley move the next day

Thats fukn wicked, big ups!

ive got my shovel and the day off where is this park

long acid walks are better

how'd del's walk go?

i disagree had a fairly short walk while on a lot of acid to the bp servo in enfield with spacey,parrallel and piers and maybe some others

long story short 3 big guys all dressed in black and wearing beanies and shit come around from the back of the servo just as were about to leave and spacey proceeds to say pretty loudly "lets get outa here before these guys rob the place" basiclly looked like they were about to shoot us and as the drove past really slow when we were walking back i was just waiting for the drive by to happen

all because i wanted a chicken roll and piers wanted a trivia magazine

Why does the prospect of a Chicken Hero sound so tempting at some stage of the night but when you have one you always realise how fucking terrible they are?

 

Ohhhh fuck i had forgoten all about that! Fuck that was gold! I think i said something more along the lines of, 'These cunts are gonna roll the joint'.

 

hahaha, i love a good mission whilst "on it"

the best part was i couldn't even eat the chicken roll i was trippin that much pretty sure we ended up chucking it at each other instead

I would have to agree.

Dear Khem,

How the hell does one get into a dentist straight away, I have rung five dentist this morning with no luck till Monday. Do they not realize I am in super amounts of pain.


Love Bekky



edit- gold ava Rumble.

Bec, I think some medical centres have dentists. Such as the Domain at Marion or Elizabeth Medical Centre. Bulk billy goodness too.

Yeah I tried Elizabeth Medical Center they are packed full till bloody Monday.

try the adelaide uni student clinic, might be a goer?

Oh my god that chicken-roll-da-joint story is one of the funniest stories i have ever read


 

funny funny

dear mr khem, who would win in a fight between the MCP and Skynet?

image not archived: MCP.jpg

VS

Skynet imo

Arnold is part of the skynet team right?

[video: www.youtube.com]



those cunts don't stand a chance!

Oi Kurko yesterday is on the phone and would its joke back 

that cunt's always calling me about that.

tell me he can get it next year after i'm done with it!

Dear Diary,

I have the next 2 days off work. Who wants to come get boozy ?

Also ... why have I been carrying around this stuffed crocodile for an entire day ?

What kind of music would DJ Duck Billed Platypus play ? Would it be banging tech ?

Love, Gemma

Dear Khem,

So my boyfriend brought me a Cellnet cover for my Motorola RAZR maxx V6 and when I put the cover on the phone does not close properly.. and the keypad sometimes does not work when this is on.

Why???

Thanks Bekk

hey i hadn't seen that shit yet fuck thats funny

he plays chopped up drums and intricate drum and bass

So he's a propucer as well ? That cunt is awesome. I'd carry his record box for sure.

Dear Khem ... why is everything still so purple ?

has anybody seen my keys?

seem to have lost them between coming in the front door last night and now.

maybe someone took them by accident and don't know whose they are...

Dude you went to a key party ! Obviously !

Dear khem/ other DS nerds,

Need help setting up my wifi connection

it keeps saying error code: 52100 - connected to access point but unable to connect to the server.

i've tried to let it automatically detect IP and DNS and also tried typing it all in manually but to no avail.

HALP.

Is the router set up to only accept connections from certain mac addresses ?
Failing that ... a good swift kick to the nuts will make you feel better

yay its working now, big up kirsty for the help

Dear IT People

Have just bought a Samsung 22" LCD monitor. All is working well, except 90% of web sites don't take up the whole page(only about 3/4s)


have installed the monitor software, have updated video card drivers and yup, still no go


anyone got any ideas?

Dear Quazza,

My apologies for missing all of your calls, I hav e just returned home from a lovely dinner and was about to call you.

Though as I have no idea what the problem could be, I have decided to respond to you here rather than spend money on a phone call

Thanks

u suck

 

maximise button?

Dear Khem (or other cool netgeeks)

How does one restart or get a torrent moving along? We've had one stuck on 35% for agggesss now, so can we download another torrent and get it going again? Or will we have to start from scratch??

Cheers in advance

Check the seeds, if there aren't any you're stuck until one comes along and resumes his duty! Have a look at the Available tab in your client (uTorrent specifically) and if it's 1.000+ the whole file should be floating around out there for you to get...

Unfortunately for you, if no seed rocks up, you're screwed because each torrent will have a unique ID of pieces so you can't even find another torrent of the same file name and resume...there's an extremely slim possibility it's the exact same file and the new torrent will accept what you've already completed. But infinitesimally slim mind you.

Rapidshare accounts ftw.

Anyone?

It was poorly designed.

i know, i know....

thanks for the tips!

Sarcasm is a cunt  

Dear Khem: why does bek think skins is better than top gear?

I can relate to it..

No need to answer Khemo.

Because it is... and I do like Top Gear.

Check for any plastic dags on the edges left over from the mold that could be preventing a snug fit. You've probably already checked that but I know I've had issues with crystal cases before for the same reason. Just whip out some wet rub sandpaper and smooth it off, you're good to go.

Dear Khem,

The pub is within crawling distance from my house. Does this make it ok for me to go there in my trackies, uggs, hoodie and hat for a parma?

depends on the pub really

Yum parmy! Was supposed to have one tonight but I have to make stupid dinner at home instead.

It would be the Brompton so i think im safe.

i am temp back with folks. we are both with same provider, who want $150 relocation fee. i just changed the settings in their modem to my access settings and i have access. if i do not 'relocate' and throw both my and their settings into diff modems on the same line, will it work? do i need to do something special?

thanks in advance,

sneaky.

you might be able to connect at their location, as the line is setup for the same provider and should authenticate, however one phone line = one connection. you could batter one account and then use up the quota on the second account, however you might want to take your modem and test it to confirm.

aiit cool, to just wait n see.

i figured it should be okay, as i have seen three modems at one house!!

What's the best cure for heaps sore muscles ? My calf muscles are heaps sore from jogging. I can barely walk : (

heat packs, ibuprofen, or nurofen gel type stuff.

Make sure you stretch after jogging! I get sore thigh muscles from jogging often though, so I can't talk.

Yeah that's probably what it is actually, not stretching... I roll my right foot in a bit as I walk/run as well so my right calf feels like it's about to snap !!

make sure u are running really carefully, you are probably causing a bit of wear and tear rolling ur ankle..its ur calf which has to make up for it! there are loads of exercises u can do as well, to strengthen ur ankle muscles...Like, balancing on one leg and doing tippy toes, nice and steady.

like warped fairy says tho, heatpacks and ibuprofen BEFORE jogging will also help with the inflammation...also, make sure u are resting between runs, like for a day or two, until your legs are up to the task of daily runs!

you should stretch before you jog. 5 minutes into your jog, and again when you finish.

I didn't take a break between days and tried to push through the pain ... then I couldn't walk the next day ;p
I always thought stretching was just for posers ;p And those guys who do weights in the mirrors and strut around !
Thanks : )
Will the protein shakes and things help at all ? Or is that mainly for weight training ?

Just remember to have nice baths to soak the muscles, if they are sore, and a light stretch before exercise and a proper stretch after or during will do wonders.

If u feel pain, DONT DO THE EXERCISE!! Its easy. Try something else until u are comfortable to run again.

How to start running with 10 easy steps     

Cynthia HaywardThis article is provided by Cynthia Hayward, Time-to-Run contributor, assisting beginners in making their introduction to running more pleasant and safe.


1. Invest in a good pair of running shoes.  You don't have to buy the top of the range, which could set you back several hundred rands. However, it's important to ensure that your shoes will provide sufficient cushioning to protect your back and lower limbs from injury. Buying your first pair of running shoes

2. Walk before you run!   For the first four weeks you should have a 5-15 minute warm-up walk before breaking into a trot, followed by a warm-down stroll.

3. Make sure you run/walk at least three times a week.   You won't really benefit if you do less than this. However, don't run if you're unwell, as this might increase the time you'll take to recover.

4. Don't run two days in a row for the first two months.  Give your muscles and tendons a chance to adapt to running.

5. Run for time, not distance.  Your running program should be designed to gradually increase the time you spend on your feet, rather than the kilometers.

6. Avoid drastic increases in time on your feet. If you ran a total of thirty minutes last week, don't increase this by more than ten minutes the following week.

7. Avoid copying top athletes!  These runners were born with superior genes that enables their bodies to handle stress loads that ordinary runners cannot cope with.

8. Be patient! Don't be in a hurry to enter road races, etc., no matter how much your friends pressurise you.  Wait until you can run at least 30 minutes without resting before lining up for that first 5km fun run.

9. Find a like-minded friend to run with.  Some of the greatest friendships have been formed during training runs.

10. Enjoy your running!  It's nice to be competitive, but not if the pressures are going to impact on your health and general life style.  Avoid getting into the trap of entering a race every week, come what may, because this is the surest way of becoming injured.

Dear Khem or some other techy person.

Is there any way to extend the range of your wireless connection? I'm trying to pick it up in another house about 50m away and am only getting one or no bars. I heard that you can put a tin can on the aerial so it works like a satellite antenna. No idea if this is true though.

khem, i saw a guy at a servo last night that looked heaps like you so i said hello

nice, i hope he said hi back

Dear Khem,

Well, we're going to London. How easy is it to get jobs over there in broking style positions? Do you have any helpful websites?

Lotsalove London Bound

My expertise in broking style positions is rather limited, however I would suggest

http://www.reed.co.uk/
http://www.seek.co.uk/

to get the ball rolling.

You might find half the jobs advertised are there just to get you signed up with an agency who will then try and get you work after you are on their books.

i saw a khem-lookalike in town last week. there's been alot of sightings lately! suspicious imo.

 

 I was walking in the mall friday night, and a guy behind me sounded exactly like him too!

i appear everywhere and nowhere at once...

 

he did but i could tell he didn't know who the fuck i was 

Khem, can you please tell the internet tuff guys to stop DDoS'ing 4Chan? I'm having /mu/ withdrawals.

hey khem got any new scientific wax links?

reguards from chop-hungry in the heights

this is the latest one... havent seen anything newer than that


July 13th archive (unfortunately cut short by crap internet connection)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/p3ec1s


you might be able to find some older ones here

July 13th is the one i'm after haven't looked through the opther link but i would say i've got most of them mate cheers

Dearest and Darkest Khem,

Has Weez really got that desperate for cash that he is now working for facebook ads?

See attached

image not archived: Untitled.jpg

Judging from the pic I am not sure he is even aware of the existence of the photo. With Stryke being a student now, I think he may be exploiting his sleeping brother for extra money for text books.

spot on

get her sacked.

simple as.

i've always been a huge advocate of the honesty policy and recently it has gotten me into trouble however i am still running with it.
 Tell her straight up she's alright but you need some space from the mole

Yeh my biggest saying is "people think im a bitch, however its just that Im honest!"

 

Ive just deleted my posts as i got a hint of paranoia thinking she is stalking me and might actually read my posts.

Ive seen her with exes!

Well deleting juicy posts before I've read them is just rude erika 

+1

Why does my cat insist on laying on my chest/across my neck when I'm sleeping ? Are those bits warmer than the rest of me ? Do cats prefer if they can feel someone's heart beat ? Freaks me out when I wake up and see her staring at me ;p

you have built in pillows on your chest, probably more comfortable than lying on all your other bony bits

what is the word for the action of waving your blanket/picnic-rug in the air to straighten it up and what not? there has to be a proper word for it!

afaik it is called straightening your blanket



feel free to write to websters dictionary if you can think of a new name for it tho

there has to be a name for it. i bet Az knows it, and its' origins.

for some reason i am thinking along the lines of flan or flag..... damn it's annoying!

It's called shaking your blanket... however when you do the same think with your quilt I think it's called fluffing!

If it doesn't have a real name it should be named after the person who discovered it.... so it's called fluking your blanket 

dear khem or anyone,

i'm trying to find that old flash cartoon about WWII (i think) with the wtf stfu shit. lexy showed it to me about 3 years ago i reckon.

any ideas...

definitely the heart beat.

i woke up this morning with maverick with sleeping with his head on my neck.

dear khem,

why did Nero release 2 single sided records at the same time?

Nero vs Klaxons :: Its Not Over & Nero vs Justice :: Dvno

  This is quite amusing for me, as looking back, I have now realised that I tend to delete posts quite regularly after a big weekend!!!

Thatssss Paranoiiia

BAHAHAHA

Theres some sketchamatitis right there folks! there ya have it.  Posts deleted. who knows what I wrote, I cant remember much.... but I do know I was sketching out about someone I know, posted about it then hesitated.... thought twice.... went back on AM and went and deleted my posts.... thinking that she might perhaps read them!!!! bahahaha 

And now the posts are lost out there in cybersketchspace.

HAHA funny funny

Never know though.... she might actually be onto me....

**Looks around shifty***

Khem and Oli have all the deleted posts in their recycle bin and can access them and distribute them at any time. They are also quite good friends with the woman you bitched about.




















Look out, she's behind you!

dear khem, would u steal bailey off me if u had the chance?

I'd be more worried about Khem if I were you Erika. He hates double posters! 

probably not, but if i did i would make sure you and mini me would be a prominent feature on the line up



i think i know what you are on about, ill check after work tonight.



probably cos they are bootlegs. all nero releases are a waste of vinyl, so whats the difference if there are one or two tunes on them?

Seconded

Dear Khem

Why does wellbeing have Morrissey as his avatar?

I thought the boy had taste but obviously I was mistaken...

What dress up theme should I have for my birthday party ??

You should have people dress as something with the letter of there first name??

I quite like that idea !!
I was thinking of an English tv/movie theme because it's something I love but heaps of people would be clueless about BritCom !\
Thanks : )

just saw that.

bullshit!

Giiiiiivvvveeeeeeee it to me Baiiiiiiiiillllleeeeeey!

 

fuk yeh

dress up as someone famous
heaven and hell - angels and devils, etc.
1930's gangster (not 1990's gangsta )
70's hippies
80's fluoro - oh wait...



your love of breaks puts you in no position to talk about taste julian







hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

wow no shit, u guys always do bailey though?!

oh dear.

One of the places I worked for last year are being twats and don't seem to want to send me my group certificate. Even after I emailed them my new address ( that they mailed my separation certirficate to ) ... they have still mailed my group certificate to my old address, and have merely said " We havent had it posted back to us yet " and won't send a copy to my new address.
Is there anything I can do about this ? They are so unreasonable : (
This is the same place that fired me last year after taking a week off after going through a pretty traumatic experience. Total c*nts.

I had a similar job trauma too!

I used to work at Saville Row on King William road Hyde Park, and the owners were taking tax out of my pay each week. When I started questioning if I could give them my employment/tax details they let me go.

Come tax time they wouldnt send me a group certificate... so i actually went in the shop and hounded them for it. I had to tell them that I had all of my pay slips and I would go into the tax office with the evidence if they didnt give me one and they would be audited. They freaked out a bit with that.

Anyway- they gave me one, but it wasnt til later that bimbo me realised they never paid me any super! c*nts

I was pretty young at the time and looking back it makes me realise how much small businesses take advantage of students/youth etc and try it on.

Everybody dont shop there! EVER! The owners are complete c*nts.

I highly doubt anyone would like their clothes anyway, wanna be hioty- toity over priced garbage thats bought in china and sent back to australia & a label is stuck on saying its made here using fine australian marino wool.

Bullshit! grrr

I shouldve stole some stuff a twin set or something HAHA fkers

 If they have a separate HR division just get to them and ask for a team leader.

  I would be hounding them, I don't see the issue in sending out another Group Certificate, it's not like itslegal tender or anything.

You can do a decleration that says their being knobtards & then just guess the numbers. if you fuck it up the ATO go after them not you.....so my account says

Dear Khem,

Why do horses all have the same birthday?

Also there is a gym opening up just around the corner from my house. I dont know if its the old age or the cold but a tiny bit of me is thinking it might be a good idea to join. Am i crazy? What do you think about this idea of moving and things like that?

there is also a gym on hawker st only a couple more blocks away that's prob cheaper... maybe see if u can get a free go at both and then decide! or maybe we should start our own gym out back when matty gets back...

foundation member at the new gym ftw!


not worth it if you wont use it of course. and the closer the better.

As long as its got Atlas stones & a squat rack its worth more than money can buy

Yeah. Wouldn't wanna have to walk too far hey.











 

The age of a racehorse has an influence on its physical capabilities. It is also a criterion for qualifying and being handicapped in a race. Racehorses uniformly have their birthday on the same day. Therefore two horses born months apart would be considered exactly the same age. In the Northern hemisphere this is on January the 1st. In the Southern Hemisphere this is on August the 1st.

Yes you are crazy, but not because you are contemplating a gym membership.



Depends on what you want to join the gym for. If you do wanna get fit I'd suggest sticking to a simple exercise plan for more than two weeks in your own house before forking out any cash. If you wanna take advantage of the sauna and spa cos it is cold, then go for it. Try and avoid the direct debit setup if you can, most gyms get their money from people who have a gym membership and never use it and forget to stop the direct debits.

Dear khem, or anyone else who may know.

One of my records is warped in the center and when i play side A of the record its fine but when i swap to side B it doesnt get any grip and takes longer to speed up/slow down.

A pic i drew so you know what i mean.
image not archived: record.jpg
as you can see it has little grip (in the center) but on side A it has a larger surface so it can grip to the slip mat much easier.


Is there any possible way to flatten the record back to its "flat" original state? heavy books?


i only noticed this when trying to mix, the song sounds fine, i just lose the djing performance because of this delay.

http://www.discjockey101.com/jul2002.html



i'd try the 'stack' method first

depending on how big the warp is, i have tried flexing the record against the warp slightly, then rotating the record a bit and flexing it again can flatten it out a bit.

Thats bullshit, we spend heaps of time chasing up members who go AWOL & most gyms make there money from PT & supp sales, the membership fee normaly wont pay much more thanthe insurance policy.

What website did you copy n paste that from anyway ?

Pretty sure you can do something about that. They are legally obligated to make sure you receive a copy. I'm actually going through the same thing at the moment. Apparently they are going to send it, but not until they have time as the company is doing tax at the moment as well. Seeing as it's a fairly large company this could take a long time.

get in contact with OCBA. they'll sort you out.

Office of Business and Consumer Affairs.

speaking from personal experience. almost everyone i know that has joined a gym never goes, complains every month that the gym took their money out and then forget to stop the direct debit.

you see to me thats like saying to a DJ "who cares if no one shows up as long as you get paid"

I mean yes Fitness First & goodlife will take you money & not GAF where you go after that but just about every other gym i have been in or worked for do actually care about you getting what you paid for

Thanks for your help re: the tax stuff, guys. They ended up emailing me a copy. Must have been the flaming bag of dogs poo I left at their doorstep ;p j/k

Has anyone here ever done a no-carb diet ? My naturopath put me on a 5 week detox which has no carbs, no caffeine and no alcohol. I can easily deal without the coffee and booze but I have heaps bad headaches from not having any carbs !! Hoping that it will go away after a day or so but it's pretty bad !

A totally no carb diet? Is that good for you? Or is it just things like white bread and pastas and you can still eat things like chickpeas etc?
Make sure you drink HEAPS of water. You may also be dehydrated. So many people are and they just don't realise it.

Yeah it's no bread, pasta and noodles etc

I can still eat cereal and stuff. Also have to take some vitamin called chronium ( which I'm pretty sure people died from in that Erin Brokovich movie !! ) ... so I'm starting to wonder if it's that !
I'm drinking heaps more water ... maybe it's my brain expendaing because it's being rehydrated ;p

Thanks LC : )

a low carb diet will really affect your energy levels  i reckon and make ya feel crappy

I low carbed for a few months, started to feel completely dazed and vague by the end of it but I didn't get headaches.

Carbs convert to sugar in your system and you do get headaches from low blood sugar, so maybe you need some sugar or low GI foods to maintain your blood sugar level.

Yeh i could see myself binging on sugary/sweet stuff if I cut out carbs

Im a pretty hyper person as it is, so i reckon that diet would fuck me up big time

 

please don't cut out carbs erika!!!

Mu ha ha ha

Imagine that.

You thought me being pissed was bad! haha. You should see me after a choco bar or a fanta! hahaha
