Apart from that, it's probably what results if you tell someone to build a computer that has to be all silver-blue, and cheap (at least in production).

Hi, just thought you'd like to know I finally found and fixed the bug in the meetup graticule template. Sorry it took so long! –Matty 00:16, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Offline / Computer problems log
2009-03-26
This morning my computer decided to end its lifespan. I checked a number of possibilities and it's probably the mainboard or processor. A new computer or spare parts to get it running again are not in sight anywhere, so it may be quite some time until I can do any serious work done including taking part here. I'll try to hit an internet cafe from time to time, and some geohashers have my phone number. Also, I can read email from the mobile phone, but not reply.
2009-03-28: Update
- Got an offer I can't refuse but may take a few more days until I can pick it up (and some time more to get it running).
- Trying to go hashing anyway ;)
- Internetcafe is only a few minutes by bike and affordable for a quick "check the most urgent things"
- I hate Micro$oft (but the Internetcafe uses their crap).

The replacement is here. The good thing: It seems to work, somehow. Also, I basically only had to pay for transport and swap in something I wanted to give away anyway.
Apart from that, it's probably what results if you tell someone to build a computer that has to be all silver-blue, and cheap (at least in production). Rarely seen plastic parts of such bad quality, and stingy case interiors (Example: To save a few grams of metal, there is only one harddisk slot, and that's at a very annoying place to reach. There is lots of empty space at a reasonable place). Also it boots only after ignoring a number of timeouts which takes forever, and there is a number of other unresolved issues. I'll probably disassemble the whole thing and reassemble it in another case. With less "design" and more usability.
Why Is Cake Singular?
Because in English the stuff that is cake refers to as much of it as you need. "A lot of cake". "Cakes" would refer to plural whole cakes. I actually anticipated that you would ask that and included it on the Category page. -Robyn 03:32, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
