Crayon Physics is a download/install game, I received it as part of the humble indie bundle which cost me ~$5 for 4 games. There is a windows, mac and linux version.
There is no right or wrong answer to any of the puzzles and each buzzle is really bite size making it ideal for learning about shapes and space &forces. The design is perfect for kids and even at 20$ I think it’s a bit of a bargain.
Orange have a problem where you can’t connect from one Orange ISP customer to another. It appears to spur from when Orange “upgrade” your line.
This is a problem if:
a) Your friend is hosting a game you want to join [Terraria in this case]
b) You want to remote desktop to your home from your friends house.
c) You need to do any form of connectivity between yourself and your friend/family/other orange customer.
Is it really an upgrade if it causes problems?
Many people have said the Orange upgrade is actually a downgrade, I haven’t noticed any difference in speed or latency, check out the orange problems forum if you have this issue.
What are Orange doing about it?
It looks like nothing. I don’t think they have the ability/knowledge to fix this, I think they have to depend on subcontactors/BT so they are probably waiting on a response from the Cisco guys there.
What can you do about it?
Orange aren’t actually providing a service that falls inside their own T’s and C’s[needs citation] so you are within your rights to ask for a refund but you will need to be able to show evidence of inter-connectivity failing.
Should you leave Orange?
That’s up to you. I’m not going to. I’m going to email orange customer support, show them evidence of the failure (in the forms of route failures) and inform them I will be requesting a refund for the months where my internet connectivity has failed.
How can you test if this is the problem?
Contact me and I will give you some tests that you can run.
When you attempt to restart Apache you may see:
[Mon Jul 25 12:40:23 2011] [warn] module rpaf_module is already loaded, skipping
[Mon Jul 25 12:40:23 2011] [warn] module rpaf_module is already loaded, skipping
This means it has loaded the old rpaf module.. For me I had to jump into:
mods-enabled/rpaf.load
and comment out the old mod_rpaf module.
Simples!
I purchased a subscription to 23 and me several months ago and the service has been great but one thing has become a real issue. I can’t pay for the monthly subscription using my bank account. It turns out that 23 and me don’t accept international payments with a CVS code :/
I have tried a number of different ways to sort this out, offering to pay via bank transfer or paypal but 23 and me just can’t accommodate me paying with a standard debit card.
It’s a real shame, I hope 23 and me get it sorted ASAP 😐
If you are considering purchasing 23 and me I would recommend you take the annual subscription option and ensure you can pay online without using a direct debit or so. Basically as long as when you pay you can use a CVS code (the security code thingy on the back of your card) then you will be fine!
