Because Irene is a dominatrix...?
No, more the way Sherlock beats her in the end and the power play that goes on.

(click to show/hide)
Essentially, the fact that she's ultimately a lackey for Moriarty, and that in the end she loses by Sherlock figuring out the truth about her affection for me. And that, ultimately, he rescues her at the end.

I'm in a funny position right now, I have a bunch of DVDs but my system is messing about to the point where I can't properly eject my DVD drive on my PC because there seems to be insufficient power to the tray stepper motor to open the tray out. Mind you, I'm thinking about upgrading my PC sometime this year, and will build a serious rig that will last me a while instead of continually refitting bits (my mobo will be 5 in April)

Does WP have any bridge attached to it? Are you using Bad Behaviour?

Is this entry correct: "v=spf1 all" ?
Correct to do what? What are you hoping to achieve?

If I use Google Apps on my domain, is a good thing to have (instead of the entries above) this one?
Refer to Google Apps' help on this.

"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"
AIUI, it means to tag entries that fall foul of the policy defined in _spf.google.com but mark it as a failure (while allowing it through)

That's interesting... Did you actually test CloudFlare, Pete?
No, but then again I didn't have to. The supplied REMOTE_ADDR is the CloudFlare IP address and the real address is supplied in a Cf-Connecting-Ip header or something along those lines; it should be tested for in Security.php.

Yes. The real IP is supplied but SMF and Wedge don't automatically pick up on it. At least Wedge dan be configured for it.

We do our own minification, btw.

Though it will screw up IP detection though there is an option in Wedge already to look at alternative headers.

You can do an awful lot by abusing the crap out of CSS, I remember seeing someone make a very nice Homer Simpson out of pure text and CSS.

Need to watch that then, I have S6 on DVD but not found the time in the last month or so to actually watch it...

Sherlock 2x01 was very good, despite the Guardian writing a fluff piece about how it's very "sexist" now.

I'm not going to quit at this stage, just taking some time to figure out what I want to do in 2012, and get rid of everything else so I can put time into the things that matter.

Just been so burnt out by one thing after another after another :(

Looks good, btw.

I really can't see a patch coming out as neither Nao or I (who both have the skill) have the time or interest in doing it...

Yes, loading more than 15 in a single page will have an impact.

As mentioned, there's already the shortcut in 2.x for uploading an image directly and adding the smg tag automatically, and the smg bbcode is actually shown at the foot of an item's page just ready for copy/pasting even in 1.x. Not sure what more could be done.

The issue with using an smg bbcode and getting an entire album is that it hurts in performance terms.

No, you don't need your own site to handle OpenID, I have had two OpenID accounts for years, but given that SMF's support is immature, and neither account provider supports SMF... Removing it entirely was the best course of action.

The plan eventually is to make it a plugin, but support the later standards too.
