Now that's more like it From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger Poker (1 day old)

Made the final table of a Deep Stack last night after playing for about two and a half hours, not a great achievement as there were only 20 odd players who sat down at the start but, after folding a h… more

Maplins From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (2 days old)

I got to have my little shuftle around Maplins yesterday, it was interesting but not enthralling. Not a huge shop so may be others carry more stock or it's just there online presence that seems to ha… more

Maplins From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (3 days old)

It seems I may get chance to look at one of their shops finally. I get a regular email from them, each about 6 pages long, of, mostly, non-essential gadgetry though there looks to be some useful stuf… more

Windows 7? Anybody? Hello??? From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (3 days old)

I've posted a few times about my dithering over whether to upgrade to Windows 7 and seem to have had quite a few page hits but I did ask last weekend if anyone had installed Windows 7 and if they woul… more

How about some cards already?? From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger Poker (3 days old)

Played a Deep Stack just after midnight this morning and just had nothing to work with at all. I guess a more experienced player than me may have made something of them but I could do nothing at all.… more

Still got problems From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger Poker (10 days old)

But I'm tentatively concluding that it's down to Firefox. I played a speed tournament earlier in the week, 2000 chips, 5 minute blinds, 15 seconds thinking time, not the sort of structure I prefer bu… more

So that's it then From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (10 days old)

Watched the last episode of ReGenesis, season 4 last night. Sad and inexplicable to witness the demise of intelligent and entertaining programming, fuck knows there's little enough of it about. Mayb… more

Autumn days From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (10 days old)

I never realised I was such an outdoor sort of person? I've got three things that I ought to be doing, washing vehicles, cutting wood and trimming the, never to be sufficiently damned, leylandii but … more

Windows 7 installation From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (10 days old)

Not my installation, but a visitor, 'Zac' has kindly updated an earlier post with his experiences. If you are considering upgrading to Windows 7 please have a look at Zac's comments on my post here; … more

Windows 7 From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (13 days old)

Beginning to wonder if I will manage to make a decision any time soon re Windows 7. I expected as much when I Googled 'Windows 7 installation problems', I got plenty of hits but on a quick look throu… more

Airmiles From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (16 days old)

There's good news and, inevitably, bad news. The good news is that my Airmiles are safe for the time being as it would seem that the small purchase I made via Dabs about 2 months ago ahs finally made… more

Windows 7 Upgrade advisor output From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (17 days old)

I said I would post the results from running the Upgrade Advisor, though they are all a bit of a jumble in text form but are far more readable in the HTML that the report was originally generated. Th… more

Windows 7 From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (17 days old)

Contemplating upgrading to Windows 7, though not quite yet, I'm sure there are a few wrinkles yet to be worked out. I hear some good things, stability and less resource hungry, and very few bad thing… more

Bummer! From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger Poker (17 days old)

Just got knocked out of my latest Deep Stack. Seriously, seriously pissed off. Not because I lost to a bad beat, not sure I even acknowledge the existence of such things, you can only loose if it's … more

A better week From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (17 days old)

At least it was until today, which wasn't too special. Volume of deliveries has gone up by about 20% and my income per drop has gone up by 10p per drop so overall my gross take is up nearly 30% witho… more

Trade declined From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger Fantasy Baseball (19 days old)

It would seem that my offer wasn't sweet enough. There is no question that Longoria was the premier player on his roster but I thought he looked a little thin at SS & C and I had the pieces which… more

Executive decision From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (19 days old)

The much debated decision has been made, the central heating is on. It's been raining just about all day and whilst it has not been as cold as the last couple of days, the damp seems to make it feel … more

H2H trade From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger Fantasy Baseball (23 days old)

I've proposed a trade which I think has a good chance of being accepted, but you never know. Rollins and McCann for Longoria. My potential trade partner in this has Peralta at SS and Napoli at C and… more

Is it Autumn yet? From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (23 days old)

I know what the calendar says but I'm still not sure. I was out working on the bike this morning, in shorts but wearing a woolly hat, I lit a fire last night but haven't put the central heating on ye… more

Energy monitoring trial data From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (23 days old)

Finally I have uploaded some data into the trial I signed up for in April this year and I have to say it's not all I expected. I have to assume that the people running the trial are going to be cutti… more

Not much happening From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger Poker (23 days old)

At Sky Poker on a Sunday morning. The Deep Stack at 10.15 has just one taker and I don't fancy playing heads up until someone gets bored. I did wonder about the £30 GTD and whilst I was deliberating… more

Straightforward? From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (24 days old)

Got my side stand switch for the ZZR. It looked in good enough nick, certainly better than the one on mine, but, of course, it wasn't a straight replacement. If it came off a ZZR 600 then it didn't … more

Airmiles From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (24 days old)

The people at Airmiles keep telling me that my Airmiles will fly out the window (groan here) on 1st December unless I collect more before then. It's very good of thme to give me some warning I suppos… more

It did get better... From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (24 days old)

...but even by the end of the week it still sucked. I managed to get all my work done in the new job in about 4 1/2 hours yesterday, which is still rubbish for 24 drops, and we will see what Monday b… more

Should I play today? From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger Poker (24 days old)

Or maybe I should use the time read more of Ken Warren's book referred to previous posts? One of the main themes of both books I've read so far are that you should not sit down to play unless you fee… more

My new job... From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (26 days old)

Sucks! It sucked today, though less than yesterday and yesterday, it sucked less than Monday. But boy did it suck on Monday! According to my calculations I earned £22 on Monday and took 9 hours to … more

Statisics, statistics, statistics. From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger Poker (26 days old)

Started to read Ken Warren's book on Hold 'Em. Early on I was a little concerned about the style, it was all a bit gung ho, making some very big claims about what he's going to do for my game. Now I'… more

Bubble From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger Poker (29 days old)

The second MTT I played was another Deep Stack, lasted into the third hour, going out in 7th, just on the bubble for the final table. Not that disappointed as I would have gone to the final table ver… more

OK, really starting to bug me now! From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger Poker (30 days old)

Played a couple of MTTs last night and the first of them was not ruined exactly but my enjoyment was considerably curtailed by ongoing Flash problems. It froze and the system proceeded to fold three … more

McJob? From wowbagger ^Pro in Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (30 days old)

Not too sure of the precise definition of a McJob but think I may just have acquired one? It's part time, at least I certainly hope it is, doing deliveries from home for a well known delivery company… more
