grumble

[lnr]

LJ unavailable from work due to the DDOS attack documented at http://status.livejournal.com/ - cam.ac.uk appears to be amongst the block os IPs being filtered out.
Can read using lynx on chiark, but not very usable so probably won't bother.
IRC quiet today, rjk home ill again. Feeling very lonely.
Slimming class tonight, and I just want to run away and not bother going: which I guess is evidence enough that I really need to be there. Trying to phase good eating habits back in again but really not succeeding well. This has to be the crappest week I've ever had I think in terms of food. Dunno what to do about it though, can't seem to get my motivation back despite feeling fatter and finding my clothes getting a bit tighter again.
Slight headache, and bored of work.

In better news at least today was payday, advantages of a short month. Still got to try cut back a bit on spending though.
Had a very pleasant evening last night: August is stayin for a few days while he flat hunts, and jaffa came over to join us for dinner and we had a nice time. Nice food, nice company, always a good combination. Homemade satay works quite well as well.
Haven't burst into tears in quite a few days, probably means the ADs are at least partly working, still feel a bit dazed and confused and pointless and listless though. Just have to keep working on it.

Chiark has a mozilla, so if you're naughty (mentioning no names) you can ssh "-X -C" to cghiark and run it remotely, if you don't mind hideous latency! :) :)

The latency's only a bit hideous actully (OK more so for actually entering text, but fine for browsing) . The fact it's such an ancient version of Mozilla it doesn't even appear to do tab browsing is a bit disconcertaing though :-)

Still better than lynx overall I think. Ta for suggesting it.

Ooops, only it segfaulted when I tried to answer Marna's latest poll, I think it's just too old to be useful. Oh well, back to lynx. Now if only I could persuade it to preserve cookies between sessions.

It did submit the answers first, though!

Bit late now, but
ssh -L12345:www.livejournal.com:80 chiark

Modify /etc/hosts (or whatever) so
127.0.0.1 localhost www.livejournal.com

Now, http://www.livejournal.com:12345

Poor man's webproxy :-)

[lnr]

The machine I was originally running a webbrowser on and which couldn't see LJ was a windows box FWIW. And while I do have access to a recent mozilla under unix at work it's on a HP on which I don't have root. But ta anyway.

Easier to have a rich man's web proxy and forward chiark's squid to a local port. No need to edit /etc/hosts that way.

You are me, almost to the letter! I just haven't been able to get the motivation together to restart the diet seriously since the New Year. Bad me. Naughty me. Blugh.

Of course, my headache is 'cos I slipped on ice last night and went flying; lens come out of glasses, scrapes on face, cuts on hand and a nice bruise.

Utterly utterly bored of work. *sigh*
