Got access to the early launch of the Rainbow 6 Siege Technical Test Server which opens tonight, so gonna check out some of the new features on there, but other than that I've not done any gaming since last week!! Been feeling rotten with illness, but getting better now!!
Also: Wildlands is amazing so far...

I have entered the 21st century now... I now have an IoT thingy in my house (Nest thermostat)... Let the hacking begin!
Is that a challenge? Let's see, you like the house to be around 50 when you get home, right?
I'll settle for a slightly warmer 52. But no more!
Celsius yeah?

In Italy, weed is grown by the government for the people.
Hmmmm...Italy you say....
Also, morning! 2 inches of snow this morning, not much but everyone near me always forgets how to drive when there's white stuff in the air....
Remove everything except Comic Sans. That's the best practice right?

What is Fat Tuesday?
Where people go and do everything that they want to do without feeling guilty about it because tomorrow starts 40 days until easter with Ash Wednesday.
AKA Shrove Tuesday

I really dislike sales people...
Them: I'm giving you the best deal I can
Me: Ok then we're going with this other solution that does the exact same thing for 1/3 the price
Them: Well let me see what I can do15 Minutes later
Them: Ok here is the new price, you'll find it matches the competition's price exactly.
Me: Why didn't you give me this price to begin with?
After having worked with several sales people, I hate them too.
Had a client with a powercut at their main site which had taken all servers offline, 5:40am call for me about that, but they're back up and running now!

Having a look at Discord (https://discordapp.com/)
note: it installs under the users profile and does NOT add itself to the start menu
I really like Discord. Some of the groups I participate in use it.
Yeah I've got 4 servers I regularly use for gaming!

So if you leave a coffee pot on the stove and forget about it for a long time, the coffee boils off and the plastic parts of the pot melt off.
Do we need to ask you how you know this?
I think we need picture evidence...
Siege last night since Wildlands servers were.....borked. But then it's a Ubi Open Beta, whats to be expected..? :')

ASUS Maximus Hero VIII
You'll see a huge performance boost, but why are you buying such a mainboard? Lots of features you'll never use, see or feel but pay for. A $120 Z170/Z270 Asrock / Gigabyte / MSI or even Asus board would serve you as well if not better.
Better put the money in a M.2 SSD.
Getting it as a bundle through a friend who gets a discount - The CPU is £340 and I'm getting the bundle for £480, so £140 for the Mobo in effect!
M.2 is next on the list!!

Back in the office after a week long break! Been catching up on emails so far!
Welcome back.
Thanks! I've had a chilled time, got some shopping done, sorting my house a bit, and adopted a cat!
