I'm just checking the BAA (British Airport Authority as was). My my flight home from work is due to take off in 2 hours, but looks like it will be delayed by at least 2 more hours. Ah well, the joys of being a roving consultant.
At least I have photosofmywife to remind me what she looks like.
It gets a LOT of hits anyway. The site is frequently offline or slow.
Incidentally the guy who runs the site used to appear on the Big Breakfast on Channel 4 in the UK. He'd show the latest submissions to his site on the programme each week.
Plus in the original preview they showed the twin towers which clearly don't exist.
I appreciate the sensitivity of this particular subject. However, if you're gonna whine about it, you'll have to ditch just about every episode of Friends ever made. They nearly all have at least one shot of the twin towers.
Wouldn't the sentence 'I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign' have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?
I had to write a "Life" program for the Pr1me as part of a college project years ago. It was ok when run on a VDU, but some fool ran it on a teletype... one box of paper later.. it was turned off.
With going to see a movie the day it comes out? I just don't get it. Inflated prices, queues.. packed cinemas.. Why not just wait a week? Is it the chat-by-the-watercooler thing? Am I missing out? Probably not.
Is what I use as my gateway. Boots off a floppy, runs on this crappy little 486, and firewalls me (to a certain degree) from a lot of crap out there.. Very useful for people with multiple PCs and a cable connection. Easy to setup and configure. Their website has a download of the floppy image, a manual and extras (e.g. drivers for network cards). Worth checking out.
The three countries I spend most time in (UK, DK and SE) are NOT 'in' the Eurozone as it were. So I still have to carry 3 currencies around... 4 if I go to a Eurozone country too.. Never mind, I give it 4 years MAX and we'll all be in.
Yes, YES! I remember that and thinking 'you cunning sly little fox you!'
And on a related story...
I was out last wednesday with two other members of the 'curry club' at the customer site where I am at the mo. We got onto the subject of Spectrums and one of them said 'I wrote some software for the speccy once'. I enquired further, having never been in the precense of such greatness. Finance Manager was the product, Elephant Software was his company. He explained that he was a mainframe coder at the time and made this finance package in his spare time at home. Thing was, becuase he was a mainframe person where screens are two-tone, and where you have to tab to fields and press 'enter'.. he coded the program in the same way. Apparently he sold 1500 copies, which just paid for the advert in Sinclair User. I suggested to him that it would probably be somewhere on the internet and he was doubtful.. "it didn't sell many copies..".
So over the weekend I had a look around and stumbled across finance.zip, and sure enough, it's his program. It's quite funny to look at actually..

That was before the programme got axed, anyway.

I concur with others who have said you should have put a spoiler warning in there.

It wouldn't have been so bad, but I had just taken out the "pause between iterations" statement. So it just went mental.

I learned to program on a Pr1me system at Brooklands College, Weybridge and Farnborough College of Technology, Hants. Great bit of kit.

Nice of you to say 'one has Luigi'. How about 'one has Rouge Leader, possibly the best Star Wars game ever'?
