The cinnamon vodka at the cottage was interesting. Not sure why I went for a second shot of that one.

Yeah, that turned out quite nasty, which is a real shame.

Back to Skittles for next year. Taste the rainbow!

I got a sick sense of enjoyment from it, though. But it did feel like someone was punching my face.

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Feb 08, 2012 14:33

That's because I was punching your face. It just invites that, you know?

Myp made loads of sweetie vodkas for Glastonbury one year. We sat down and tried all 14 of them. He then fell asleep and we tied him to a chair, covered him in toilet paper, and stuck gaffer tape in his hair.

Good times.

Oh, and the best flavours were Love Hearts, Fruit Salad and Tangfastics.

Dropbox users! You can get up to 5 GB of permanent bonus space by installing a beta and allowing it to upload 5 GB of photos (you can delete the photos later, but you keep the space). Details: http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2012/02/03 ... roid-beta/

Dropbox android users you should say, or can I do this on my desktop?

Oh, right. That's not a well-explained link. Yes, you can do it on the desktop. Procedure is:

1. Install the beta
2. Plug in any camera or memory card.
3. A special "Upload your pics?" box appears. Say "yes".
4. Wait.

I've just put over 2gb of photos and videos through it, and it has currently given me an extra 800mb of space?

I'll see what that turns into once everything is fully synced up.

Cheers for the info, not bad for nowt.

It can be slow to realise, say the forums, but I found it worked fine. However -- it's supposed to be awarding in 500 MB increments. Are you sure?

Good times, indeed. Why don't we do those anymore? Oh yeah, YOU ALL SPAWNED.

Did you start with 2 GB, though? Or have you previously earned one of the other small bonus spaces Dropbox offer (like the 256 MB for watching the intro video, or 256 MB for anyone you refer to join Dropbox)?

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22286

Possibly, who knows

Now up to 3.2gb of space. Slow going though, I expect their servers are a tad busy at the moment...

Ended up at 4.8gb

Client is buggy as hell though, getting it to actually auto-import is unreliable to say the least. It has only actually worked once, now it just does nothing.

Beta, innit? Just be glad you're not paying them

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22286

Sure, but beta used to mean it is 99% ready, we just have a few kinks to work out.
Now it seems to mean, we've done 5%, lets ship it and call it a beta...

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32619

Well, the beta worked flawlessly for me. So maybe you're the 1%.

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22286

Maybe i'm just that edge case of a user with OSX Lion, an iphone 4S, and who just downloaded and installed the app...

I always thought of Beta as "all the features are in". It may not be optimised (in a speed sense or a UI sense), and it will be buggy. 99% done is a release candidate - Hell, with automatic updating over the web, 90% done is your first RC, 95% done is your first release.

Beta always used to mean "It's done" but we need to check with a wider audience. Then it started to mean "It's almost done, might as well get it out there", now it means "We've done a bit, fuck it, lets release"
