So, I just won Mahjong for the third time. I probably played it about two dozen times in two days before finally getting it. This pleases me very much, and I wanted to create a thread where other people can post their long-worked for achievements and accomplishments.

So, if you successfully made a complicated recipe, or completed an obscenely long term paper, then here is the place to gloat!

+ Got spamassassin working and trained
+ compiled php, finally, will be trying out tonight. Only broke the server once >_>
+ tested server reboot after four months of changes, went well
+ Have seen new IPTables in action against various drive-by DOS attempts. Result is very positive. Tweaked a bit to be more aggressive.

And we'll keep you around anyways.   >:)

pff, who cares? The point is that you got stuff done! That alone makes you great.

Besides, isn't the saying that geeks will rule the world?

If you're shameless, you should be grinning, by the way.

I made lentil soup from scratch for the first time and although I had to do a lot of substituting (I can't get all of what the recipe called for here) it turned out delicious! So far I've managed to make some tasty banana bread, pomegranate chicken, chai, and lentil soup as of this month. Yay!

Imma gloat in about 48 hours, when I cross the NaNo finish line for the third consecutive year. Failure is not an option.

and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

That's awesome Muninn! Even better than simply following a recipe!


Good luck Lillias!


You let us know, Wolfy.

You'll probably see a bunch of these in the next 24 hours, but:

It's a small victory, I guess, but I'm such a noob when it comes to software, downloading and paying online.

Ah haz deh grin *nod nods*
