I can see my initial opinion was probably right. I don't think I'll be sticking around to read any more threads that deteriorate into drivel as this one has. Thank you to the few of you who welcomed me, but good bye. Novice -- judiciously backing out of the room.


Seriously, though, if you haven't already given up on us, I'd probably head to a hunting store or something like that nearby. They might have those or similar models to test out or at least some helpful advice to help you make your decision.

And I suppose you can't SSH tunnel out?  I think I still have a local account on Azalin for you.

I still have that info saved, but no, can't SSH out either. I find that part strange. Being in tech support, I've had to SSH to a customer site to help out a time or two back at Cisco. I just need an excuse to make them open it up for me here.

I use team viewer to remote into my home pc and do whatever I want without work being any the wiser.

Hm.. let's find out!

There have been newer browser-related threads but this is mine so.. ARISE!

Just updating to say that my search is over. It was over as soon as Chrome started doing this:


Too many tabs to know which one has that annoying ad that somehow got past DoNotTrackMe or your ad blocker and is currently raping your ears with terribleness?
Chrome's got ya covered.

Still no workaround for me. Work still uses IRC for info distribution but God forbid I want to use it somewhere outside 10.x.x.x.

How goes it in 2014, Novice? Keeping it off?

As expected during the ridiculous diet, it was not meant to last. I define yo-yo dieting behavior.

Damnit, Biz. There's nothing that stokes my cynicism more than cops and shitty cop stories.


. . . And there are always so many.

I got engaged on New Year's Eve so I have to say that I was properly infected with cheer.

Time to check in. Let's see how many of us are still looking in.

Just say "here," and let's consider the word "here" to be short for "Here I am, rock you like a hurricane."

198.8 -10.2lbs
200 +.2lbs
194.0 -6lbs


191.6 -2.4lbs

This isn't really surprising, I've cheated a bunch this week. I'll probably stay around here for awhile due to some unforeseen and somewhat troubling health reasons I recently discovered. Good news is the suit is fitting well. All it takes is no wife, no kids, and multitudes of free time.

I'll take it! It's been a bitch with all the candy laying around from Halloween the dang neighbor kids didn't take. I'll be happy with anything <190lbs after the next 10 or so days.

198.8 -10lb ish

I can't keep this junk off because my diet is not maintainable. It's a barely-justifiable nightmare. What I wouldn't give for something with bread in it. Oh well, -10 will keep me going.

69
Well it's been over a year and I failed at keeping it off. Mostly due to starting my new full-time-I'm-a-real-boy job and also being lazy. The good news is I'm trying again..

I figure even though no one really posts here anymore, I need a place to document my progress. I imagine it will also keep me motivated because it's public info. My main motivation is getting back into my thin-guy suit so I can wear it for an upcoming event.

Update next week!

Welcome back.

(Use "Specify avatar by URL" and upload it elsewhere I think was the solution last time).

Edit: never mind looks like you got it
