OK, here are some photos...

1. This is what I did to myself a week and a half ago (on Wednesday). Picture from one week ago (last Friday). RATED M FOR MATURE (extreme violence). My ankles used to be so pretty. :(

2. Loves his box + obligatory ice axe inclusion

3. LOL @ Cat. (caught mid-yawn)

I'm off to bed now since I have to work in the morning. That should be a hoot. ;) Night all.
Yeah, it'll be a frigging joy, I'm sure.

Goodnight, sleep well when you get there. (Just not for 13 solid hours, hopefully.)

Responses -

1. What did you do to your ankle?

2. I have a 20+ plus pound cat sleeping in a 20-pack beer box at the moment. Cats seem to really love the whole wedging themselves into small places thing.

3. Convenient caption - "I don't give a crap what you did to your foot! FEED ME!"

CarrionCrow: 1. What did you do to your ankle?
High ankle sprain. Just walking to work. A crack in the pavement. Less than an inch difference.

I have weak ankles. I sprained the left really badly about 5 years ago and it now rolls every 4 months. But it's kind of perma-swollen, so each new sprain is less and less painful. This one had probably only been sprained once before. So nasty - it still hurts. I imagine I now get to roll the right one every 4 months as well...

EDIT: A real treat for a mountain climber. I have sprained ankles on 3 different climbs, though never anywhere truly horrible. Gonna suck when one blows 3 days from the trailhead on a glacier. :)

EDIT2: I know a guy who broke his ankle shortly after reaching the summit of Mt. Olympus in Washington. It's a technical, multi-day climb. Of course he couldn't walk out with his pack - the strongest of his team carried out over 80 pounds. Luckily he is a trauma surgeon and had the good meds in his kit. :)

It looks painful...
And you got that from less than an inch difference in pavement. Sheesh.
Puts my history of broken fingers and a broken tailbone into perspective.

Also, you officially do NOT have permission to suffer life-threatening ankle injuries.
I know it doesn't work that way typically, but it does now.
Ankle support up to your shins, GPS, a satellite phone, those large dogs with barrels of alcohol latched to their necks, whatever's required.
Again, you do NOT have permission to die on a frigging ice chunk.

CarrionCrow: You've definitely got me beaten in terms of brokenness. Whatever they're changing, they need to fix it fast.
Everything else is bad enough, but no game access at all? Definitely the worst.
I had your issues up until a few hours ago. Ever since, I have no access to anything account related, and none of the pages that use a secure connection work for me.

I've also noticed that when I open attached pics, the new favicon overwrites the setting I got via Barefoot Essentials; this also started a few hours ago. I don't know who's having sleeping issues and messes with the site to pass the time, but they need to stop immediately, because at this rate, nth will work by Monday.

1. Ouch! Poor ankle, poor budejovice! :(
I've sprained my right ankle twice to the point of complete tear of ligaments, and got a nice plaster for four weeks as part of the healing process. Funny thing is that ever since, mine is a bit thinner than my left one.
Is it still as bad as it looks in the photo?

3. If he looks this menacing while yawning, I don't want to think what he's like when angry. He's gorgeous! :-)

Yeah, that would be good.
I sometimes wonder how that whole process works. Something gets changed, then the bugs get handled after the fact as they crop up?

I know very little about tech, but breaking people's accounts so hard they can't even download games legally purchased from a games site is obviously something to be avoided at all cost.

I'm no web developer either, but I'm sure that changing something on a store's front page should not affect other parts of the site in such detrimental ways. Unfortunately, this seems to be a long tradition with GOG - every time they change the front page for a big sale or release, something on the pages that require a secure connection breaks.

I'm sorry to say that GOG is clearly not ready to grow bigger, both catalogue and user-base wise.

You should use a good ankle brace, it will help with the healing process, talking from experience.

My dad, who isn't a fan of me climbing, always says, "what happens when you sprain your ankle out there?" Um, lay down and die? No, dad! I walk the hell out! :)

I always carry a GPS. Sat phones are pretty prohibitive, but I would rent if I were ever to go somewhere really committing, like Denali (if I were with a non-guided team). However, I really need to get a SPOT. http://www.findmespot.com/en/ One of my climbing buddies always carries one. It's a one-way satellite distress call.

I totally plan to die at an advanced age. I'm really not one of those guys out there doing crazy things. The less rope required, the better! :)

Yes, you're absolutely correct and I appreciate the advice. Most of the time (at least these days) I'm wearing a pretty good one on the left when I'm out on a long hike or climb. I now need to buy another one. And unfortunately I'm going to have to think about wearing them daily, even if just out in the city. Oh well.

Sorry to hear about your account issues, btw. Just godawful. Knocking on wood, but I haven't had anything major going on with my account recently, despite so many people getting hit by the signup/login thing. Blech. Hope they work it out ASAP.

OK, folks. Off for the weekend. Tomorrow I'm going with a friend for my first taste of the first TEXAS barbecue place to open up in Seattle. They even serve Lone Star & Shiner Bock beers. Totally legit, and ex-Microsoft dude originally from Texas has studied the art of smoke for years now. Daniel Vaughan, the Barbecue Editor of Texas Monthly magazine, personally recommended him to me. He's been open about 4 months, but I'm just now going to give him a shot.

1 Holy Texas Trinity please! (brisket, sausage, ribs)

Have a good weekend all!

LOL, just bought my first Steam Only bundle! (Yes, it's a gift for my brother. :)

It continues to feel to me like they're multi-classing, with all the negatives that includes.
I'm as much a businessman as I am a web designer, but for me, I'd want to have everything related to core functionality locked up so tightly that it'd take a total system failure to mess that up.
After that, I'd expand from that point.

That's very good to hear. There's enough crap that can kill a person, no one really needs to actively seek such things out.
Also, those SPOT devices look pretty incredible.

Barbecue sounds really, really appealing right now...
Have a good weekend, relax, and enjoy the food. =)

So long as your ankle(s) are injured, you need to wear them daily whenever you live your home.
And you should definitely wear them tomorrow - after all that food, you will certainly need to walk a few miles to digest. ;-P

Have fun and a great weekend!

I think I'm also going to slowly retire, got a pretty busy day tomorrow, so should try and catch some rest.
