Wow. Haven't been here in a while and this courtyard is new to me.

I'm pretty sure that 48.24L × $1.969/L = $94.98, or $94.99 if rounding up. Especially when paying by card.
God damn battery going out on this tablet* at the moment. The system and Google Search keeping it awake for way too long. I suppose I've got to make sure it's not a fault in the keyboard dock (Asus TF701T).
*The 0% battery circle is the dock, ~77% is the tablet.
Lycra Warriors are a weird breed.
Wow. I didn't think drawings on Miiverse could even get that sort of detail going on.
Craig: To live . . . to live will be an awfully big ad... - Miiverse is a service that lets you communicate with other players from around the world. It is accessible via Wii U and systems in the Nintendo 3DS family.

Today is a good day. I just had a call from a telemarketer. Did I yell and scream at them, you ask? Certainly not. Like a good IT administrator I put my skills to use for their benefit. Here's how the conversation went:
Computer: "Press 9 to not be contacted in the future. Press 4 to speak to someone about your mortgage issues"
<presses 4>
TM: "Hello, are you having problems paying your mortgage?"
Me: "Hi, this is the IT department. We intercepted your call as we detected a problem with you phone and need to fix it."
TM: "Oh... ok, well what do we need to do?"
Me: "We're going to need to fix the settings by pressing 4-6-8 and * at the same time"
TM: "Ok, nothing happened."
<alright, so he's not using a Polycom>
Me: "Are you using the new Polycom phones that we deployed?"
TM: "No, it's a Yealink"
Me: "Ok, I see. You haven't had the new Polycom phone deployed to your desk yet. Let me check our technical documentations for the Yealink."
<did a quick Google search, "yealink phone factory reset">
Me: "Alright, do you see an "OK" button on your phone?"
TM: "Yes I do"
Me: "Alright, you're going to press and hold that button for 10 seconds."
TM: "OK, pressing it now"
Me: "Perfect, let me know if you get a password request"
TM: "OK, nothing has popped up ye----"
<click>
That's right. I made a telemarketer unwittingly factory reset his phone which means he will be unable to make anymore calls until someone is able to reconfigure his phone and that will take at least an hour or longer if they can't do it right away!

I've become so used to swiping on my phone keyboard that I've started trying with a regular keyboard.
