      m000 ;) Sorry, maar een koe zegt boe. Dat kan je dan wel proberen te ontkennen maar het neemt niet weg dat het een feit is dat dat dier nu eenmaal boe of m00 zegt. Sommige schrikken daarvan. En dan krijg je mafkezen zoals ik die hier dan een mini-opstel van maken op je profiel. Hmm... kan dit je een hoger cijfer voor iets opleveren? ;) ok, ok... Hoi Tom! Denk meld me even :)

        Mooo zegt de koe, ja dat geef ik toe, ook al ben ik een beetje moe, dat doet er niet toe, dus is dat niet iets wat ik doe. ;)
        Hoi! :D Een hoger cijfer voor mijn meest recente status, hmm zou wel fijn zijn - ik had gehoopt op een mailtje terug van die vent (dat is het correcte woord, was een 6e jaars ofzo... :P), maar heb nog niks gekregen... hopelijk komt dat nog... :P

        6 jaar terug een mailtje? Scholen zijn nog langzamer dan het CBR! (wacht op m'n motor papiertje, zwaar balen).

        Hahahaha, nice. :P Het CBR is inderdaad vreselijk. Maar! ik sta nu wel ingepland voor een tussentijdsetoets en examen, dus alleen nog het resultaat lijkt langzaam te kunnen gaan zijn... Succes nog!

      I had to hand something in for school at 23:59 (or earlier of course :P). I handed it in at 23:59, because I'm me, aaaaaaand it refused to take it because it was "past the deadline"... seems like they actually give you a minute less than they tell you. Lovely. :)

        Well, the deadline was apparently at 23:59, not 00:00.

        I'll have watch that when back home, now at school. :P
        Yeah, apparently it was 23:59 (so 23:58) indeed. :P They probably just didn't think about/aren't able to allow for those weirdos who hand it in at the last minute. :P

      I'm not only a lazy hoarder ingame, but also on my computer. :D I've already spent over 10 hours to clean up my files, and I'm still not done yet... :P I now have more than just 10 GB free on my two hard drives, which is great. :P I fear though that I might need another one... :P

      So the laptop guy came today. Speaker cable wasn't plugged in... got new speakers anyways cuz yay. Back cover was dented indeed, got a new one. Also lightly dented, but that's apparently supposed to be so. New motherboard too. Still makes some electrical noise, but less. Happy :D

        Currently have a new 2019 IdeaPad, but the screen's having a lot of trouble that if it's not on night vision when unplugged, it tries to play a song with the brightness going up and down.... -.- so annoying. That's the only real issue... Tis why I was asking. (plugged in, it's ok)

      Ugh. Had to make an account on a site, did so, waited for an activation email. The activation email only came at 4:43 AM, and said that it worked for 1 hour... that turned out to be true: the code doesn't work anymore, but I can't get into the account either nor remake it... >.<

        It's ov-chipkaart.nl... :P Was going to call them, but then thought of a better idea: just add spaces in my username to create a new account, which worked. :D It's quite poor though, for almost all issues they suggest to just make a new account.... >.<

        It is indeed. :P The site to make an OV chipkaart itself was also somewhat janky, and it said that it takes them up to 6 WORKdays to make the card... which is ridiculously long in my opinion... I hope it won't be more than that, otherwise I'll get it too late... >.<

      New laptop: cool! Issues with keyboard though. Repaired. Issues with speakers. Repair soon. Also today suddenly dented in on the underside. Repair soon. Oh it also makes weird electrical noises. Likely repair soon. Oh and the screen is crooked when closed. Great support though :P

      I saw some squids in an aquarium in Helsingør in Denmark recently. They are so cute. :D The aquarium itself was great too! :)

        I just realised that the creatures I had in mind were actually likely jellyfish... :P I'm sure I saw some squids too, though, and I'm also sure that tgey were cool. :)

        And I now I realise that I typo'd "they" into "tgey"... I also typo'd "they" into "thry" in the main status (but edited it)... seems like my phone's touchscreen in combination with my fingers doesn't like the word "they"... :P (in general my touchscreen is terrible, sadly.)

      Getting my new laptop today! :D The only issue is that the tracking code says "damaged during transport", so I hope that it's not too bad... wish me luck lol - EDIT: it arrived without issues and is up and running now. It's a fabulous machine. :D

        Ah, yes, me too! The box looked mostly fine, had a few dents and some tape over the previous address came loose (it was sent from the seller to a different shop, from where my aunt resent it to here in France!), and the contents could move around a fair bit

        Ahh, yeah, that makes sense. Personally, if I'd spend the time for a subject, I'd also want to get proper recognition for it... but perhaps it was just like maths D and computer science, that'd be okay too. (do note that 3 lessons for me is 3 times 75 minutes)
