Emails dried up since yesterday. Nothing today.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

So that's posted under the wrong heading then...
Do you want me to delete it?

Oops! Ok to delete it. By the way: Some of yesterday's messages just came through.

I wasn't until two minutes ago, when I got a notification for a QA comment that was posted over two hours ago.

Just got a page full of them, so perhaps it's working now? (I hadn't been getting them all week)

Yes, got one today from the lounge.

SO I answered "No" above, but have just now had the complete backlog of god-knows-how-many all come through at once!

Yes, I see today's emails.

Yep, got some emails this week.

.. the game engine... what exactly does installing Steam on a PC do? Would I be an idiot for installing it on a work computer (at home - I work from home)?

That's ... annoying! I want a *relaxing* game (so no FPS's for starters) and have seen Euro Truck Simulator 2 recommended for such, and it looks like it might be what I want, but it's Steam powered... (and dirt cheap.)

I just hate Steam: it wants to update every time you want a quick play...
But are you sure that putting games on a work PC sends the right message about what you are doing while "working at home" anyway?

The only person I'm sending a message to is myself! Oh well, maybe I'll try the other PC hooked up the TV - bigger screen, but not so readily available when I'm meant to be working!

So basically your boss is an a***hole and your employee is a lazy 'f'er?
Self employment is great isn't it?
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.
Freedom doesn't mean the absence of things you don't like.

You got that right - he leaves me to do ALL the work, from tea-boy to coding to management, while he just sits there playing games and posting sh*t on some web forum. I'd give him a smack if it wouldn't hurt so much

My kid uses it. A lot. Mostly it's a disk hog.
Try Goat Simulator.
We also play some "party game" things which are fun -- each player users a mobile device as a controller.

It doesn't do that much, unless you set it to run on boot, then it regularly annoys you with update notices etc.

If the PC is a work PC given to you by your "work" then, I would not install game stuff on it.
Even if it is your own work PC, I would not install game stuff on it (or any other non related stuff).
Get your own game PC.

Bought and paid for by myself - yes, I know the sensible thing to do is keep work and play separate. But sometimes I just want a quick break without necessarily taking myself right out of "work mode".
The advantage of working from home and being ones own boss is that you can do these things!

Go for it then.
