Hello,

So today is my birthday.

How do you feel about your birthday? To me its something very important and I mentally jot down who congrads me and who doesnt. Also what do you do?

Today is a workday (means I have to go to work today and work tommorow) so its a bit more limiting than a weekend but...what would you do?

Happy Birthday, (might want to adjust the date in your personal details)

And it's about the same for me, I prefer my birthday to just pass by, very little celebrating (if any), when asked at my last birthday, I just said I was celebrating the 20th Anniversary of my 18th Birthday :p

(plus I hate the reminder that I now have 1 year less left to live)

Thank you.

I think you misunderstood me; For me, my birthday is a very special day. Hell, I would make it a national holiday for all to celebrate. Its the only day of the year where I can be selfish, think of myself, and nothing else...

Hello,

Many Many Happy Return of the day :)

For me, it's just another day, I don't celebrate it & don't think anything special about it.

Thank you.

Well, I consider it another year that I have been able to keep surviving without dying. I do like to celebrate it and think very special of it :)

Make it special. Take the day off. Spend a few hours playing games at an arcade instead - that's what I would do. Then go and watch a movie. Spoil yourself - it's worth it. Celebrate that you've turned another year older!

 

If you have to work, let your boss know so your workmates can organize something (at least a cake at morning tea time). But still, do something special later on.

 

If you don't, you'll probably end up feeling depressed.

 

Enjoy your day!

Well, happy birthday then! :D  :fun:

 

How do you feel about your birthday? 

 

That sentence reminds me of :

 

 

For me, it's just a day I can hang out with a bunch of friends, and an excuse for them to get drunk, as I don't drink. :)

Every year I have 30 days off. There are 2 weeks in the year I reserve for festivals here so technically its just 15. I came back from a 2 week vacation (I had 15 days I legally have to take) so getting ANOTHER day off wouldnt seem right.

Another thing is my friends and love ones work so celebrating it alone is kidna boring and depressing.

Ive brought in some small pastry cookies so my work coworkers can enjoy :)

My plan for now is dinner at a italian my favorite food :) Dont know which sauce to ask my pasta with though :p

Happy birthday.

It seems to be a Firefox bug. Firefox 26 vs IE 9

Odd, I'm on 26.0 myself and I have the like buttons. So again, it's possibly something on your end. Have you done the usual steps (clear cache, etc.)?

I don't consider birthdays all that special. Sure, I've survived another year. Yippy-something-do. In the past I've taken the day after my birthday off, but that's to deal with the hangover that my friends cause me. This year it happens to coincide with a friend's hen party, so I'll be out of the office during the time anyway.

Happy Birthday :)

 

I don't care too much for birthdays, I'll occasionally use it as an excuse for a holiday (21st spent in Rome, 25th spent in Florida).

 

Nothing planned for turning the wrong side of 25 next month.

 

Take a day off or two, indulge in intoxicants, good food, the missus, video games and just generally be a lord of leisure.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
