I didn't understand that number, it had digits other that '1' and '0'

Medium level geek, low level nerd, medium level cyclist (once I get back
on the bike ... got the second battery charger for my lights yesterday,
so I don't have to lug one between home and work. Monday for sure.)

And what do you mean, "failING"? Mine -- at least my knees -- are well
and truly gone...) Oh, and late 20s (for all of around three and a bit
more months ... *sob*)

Try 26 when I first seriously dated somebody. :P Close enough to 27 --
we started going out a week or so before my birthday.

This break's been around two and a half years now. I only care some of
the time, though, and I'm trying to keep busy enough that that's a
minimal amount.

I was joking about this turning into aus.geek.dating

I guess others weren't joking.

I have an excuse! I'm killing time until Things Happen at 7:30. Not
enough time in between knocking off at 5 for me to do much of anything,
really.

Probably should go get some food.

Do you get that thing where you check and feel excited and then realise
that the "new post" is actually the one you just wrote?

At least you've got it in the right order. I mean, if you write the
abstract now, you should be able to do a related paper. I keep getting
sent to conferences with abstracts due 6 months in advance, so I have to
write a really vague abstract and just hope that I get some results by
the time the conference comes around. Of course, being a geek/nerd in a
sports-based field means that no one understands wtf my abstract means
anyway, so they wouldn't know if I presented something totally
different.

It's Austrian, apparently. Although I'd have thought it could be
Danish, kirk = church in Danish, which is probably where the Scots got
it from. A lot of English came from the Danes, it was weird going to
Copenhagen seeing such similar place names.

My mistake! I was sure I'd seen it written without the 'e' but will
bow to superior knowledge.

As to who are better looking, I haven't been to Austria since I was
about 12 (a school skiing trip) and I don't remember the totty, but a
bunch of firemen wandered past the place we were working in Copenhagen
and I had to actually stop what I was doing and stare in awe
Cheered me up for the rest of that day it did.
