Afr0	What are you doing tomorrow (or today, depending on when you read this)? Myself, I'm going to try to get to school without killing myself and avoiding the temptation to program. I remember one Friday the 13th when I was nearly rammed by a bus because I saw a black cat walk across the road. Maybe I should just stay home tomorrow... -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Jayenkai	Last Friday 13th, my sister broke her arm!! So, I guess she's staying in. My new PC is due on/by tomorrow, and hasn't yet turned up. .. I'm not expecting it to turn up tomorrow, or if it does, it'll have a ginormous crack in the screen or something!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

JL235	I have a milestone due for my third year project tomorrowz. It looks like it'll be easily complete on time. So expect me bitching about a mysterious hard disk failure that looses all of my work on Saturday.

shroom_monk	My Friday 13th was going really well, until the evening when my laptop decided to go all funky. When shut down, it shuts down as normal, but once the screen has gone off and it should be shut down, it remains turned on (the power light and fan remain on). Upon restarting, the date and time are the same as when it was shut down. Argh. -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

Jayenkai	Eeek. Much as expected, my new PC didn't turn up.. So, yeah, 13th sux! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

shroom_monk	The worst part was, my parents went out for the night, and said I had to be in bed by 11pm. When they got back at 11:30, my clock said 9:30, so I thought they were back early. facepalm -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

Jayenkai	lol

shroom_monk	Further experimentation shows that the clock doesn't stop between shut downs, it just forgets to move the hour hand on. ie I reset the clock to the correct time this morning, so it went: 8:30 -> 8:59 -> 8:00. -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

Jayenkai	How bizarre!!!

JL235	As it happens I was born on the 13th, and I turned out alright. Unfortunately it wasn't a Friday.

shroom_monk	Well, crisis somehow averted. One run of chkdsk later, the problem has magically fixed itself. How odd. It's probably because it realised that the date was not Friday 13th any more! -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

CodersRule	shroom, the computer messed with the time because it didn't want it to be the 13th. Now that it's over, it has no reason to mess with your clock anymore.

Stealth	Ran an Ubuntu update yesterday (Fri 13), and it completely crashed and failed to reboot. Spend 2 hours at work trying to fit it from the command line (need the computer to do my job!). This lead to me rushing to finish the jobs for a few clients and I was late to my movie. Saw 2012, which it came out in theaters yesterday, so it was packed--we got shitty seats. Damn linux... making me late to movies. -=-=- Quit posting and try Google.

Trollmann	For me the Friday went by fairly ok. Almost broke up with my GF, but that didn't happen, so all is well. Strange day though. Stealth it was packed--we got shitty seats. I enjoy going to the cinemas here in Beijing. Chinese people really don't pack to the big english speaking movies. Cheap and always get good seats!

spinal	Well, my Fri 13 went just as well as any other day. I guess partly because I don't believe in such nonsense, also, Friday 13th was mostly made unlucky be early christians, who in a bid to take over the world, changed 13 from pagan LUCKY number to a Christian UNlucky number. But that's neither her nor there, less people go out on Friday 13th, so the roads are safer. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!
