                      And a Happy Birthday for the recently passed 24th to you too Mr. Maunder. I turned 30 which so far has had no discernible effect except lots of slagging from friends along the lines of "middle aged" and "it's all down hill from here." Lovely bunch!

                        It's not a bug, but rather a feature to wipe out all your data when you log in a guest. In case the cops confiscate your computer, just tell them to use the guest account.

                                      No worries, Paul! At 30 you're over the puppy stage and finally housebroken, not worn out. Happy Birthday! :-D

                                      Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Got through my 20s, did a lot of things, not all good, figured out what I don't like doing and what I do like doing and what I'm good and bad at. Now I can *start* making a plan...

                                      cheers, Paul M. Watson.

                                        Always gives me a chuckle to see Maunder as WOTD[^].

                                        This isn't the first, or perhaps even the second time this has happened. Are you responsible for choosing the WOTD? :suss:

                                          Congratulations, and I'd better get a move on. You're rapidly catching up.
