Today was quite interesting for me.
I made a withdrawal from the poker site from my winnings last night (tried to at least).
Seem they only have a few options and the only 1 without an ridiculous fee is via Bitcoin. I've never used BC before and to be honest I was a little pissed off... anyway I started googling, what can I buy with Bitcoin and one of the options was Microsoft Office. I don't have Office on my home computer and at the same time I have a small project coming up at work so I was thinking this might be a good option. At the same time I mislaid some paperwork (found it later in a REALLY obvious place) so I logged on to my works intranet... and guess what? - They have a home user licence for all employees. This is something I have never come across in the 5 years I've been working there. On top of this, some Poker software I had my eye on now accepts Bitcoin as payment - go figure. It's worth $99 which is just short of what I withdrew.
To celebrate I went for a shorter game of poker, came 2nd and won another $59.
On a roll here!
