I think my old man made it up though. I do remember the hardship she caused my family when I was young. She didn't give a shit about people. I will celebrate the day she dies.
I don't understand it either. Even if it's been typed on a phone, predictive text solves the problem of crappy keyboards. Heck, I can even miss all the correct letters on my Android keyboard and the correct word is displayed nine times out of ten.
My boss can create =SUM(A1, A30) in Excel. He knows that I know even more than that. That's why I get the same sort of shit you do. Hey, all you have to do is pick the correct functions, yeah?
They're so fucked when I leave and they find out I've used the VBA witchcraft and no one else is willing to work for peanuts.
We ran a €2b project on Access databases, spreadsheets and Word documents. All because the fast pace of the project meant there was no time to buy big off-the-shelf software. I spent three weeks writing, one week testing and six months debugging and feature creaping on a live system.
Five years later and the sucsessful project is coming to an end. All this time other departments have been flying all over the world looking for a "final solution" (yeah, I work for ze Germans).
Sharepoint, Sharepoint modules, and all manner of multi-functional project management software. 250,000 GBP was the last quote for software I deemed unsuitable. 500,000 GBP has been spent trying to source software.
My hack job cost less than 10,000 GBP. It's still runnning today, bug free, with the ability to export the data to a "better" system with a single finger press.
What did I get out of it? Reduction in workload(!), meaning no chance to progress in the company, and reduced benefits and pay.
I do no hacking for the company now. It's not worth it when my peers aren't expected to do the same.
The one for my email - trillions of years. Dumb sites emailing me my own private data means it needs to be secure.
Slashdot, football forums, BBC - minutes. I honestly don't give a shit about these sites.
Random websites that force you to sign up in order to download a crappy wav file - I'll just tell you, just to save you the hassle. username = no@example.com, password is nonononono.
My banking password? Minutes. Why? Because passwords are shite and obsolete. I use extra forms of authentication on banking websites.
And why ruin a good piece of broccoli with cheese sauce? Just boil it for a few minutes, and serve it while it's got a slight crunch. If you must add butter, only use half a teaspoon. Cheese sauce? Sounds fatty.
... like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Give me five bees for a quarter," you'd say.
Now where were we? Oh yeah: the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...
I work for a German company from the UK. They employ two people to do the job of one person here. Their 'efficiency champions' reputation is complete bollocks. Their engineering performances are just as crap; if it's not written down in a manual, specification or procedure, they panic. They have no idea about 'getting the job done'; their flexibility is invisible.
I can't tell you what version of Sharepoint we're using on Office 2007, but it's been nothing but poor version control since 2003, but now with added workflow! UserX has finished work on the document, would you like to...
Collaboration means employing someone to cut and paste all the sections and chapters into a 500 page report*.
Neat!
*I know master documents can be used. I even created a fully working template for this company. If only the rest of the non-tech workers could remember how styles work - there are only a dozen in my template *facepalm*. The style for numbered bullets is named "Numbered bullets" ffs. It was trashed very early on.
This is the first time ever I've been able to view TPB from work (without resorting to that long and drawn out process of removing my phone from my pocket).
I now have nine URLs for TPB, up from the single one I had a few weeks back. Thanks Virgin Media. Thanks BREIN. Thanks for court orders. Thanks.
I checked out OpenStreetMap maybe 12 months ago with the full intention of correcting my local area. I had a mental image of 15km2 that I could help with.
I was extremely disapointed. Not only was my local area perfect compared to Google and Microsoft, it also told me where the drain covers were located. It kid, but it had far more info than I could ever hope to gather myself.
Both teams had a "clean sheet". The goalkeepers will be pleased. The four defenders, if that formation is used, will be just as pleased. In the professional game, bonuses will be issued.
Tactically, both managers stopped the other team playing. I'm not fond of this tactic, but I respect the reason it's used.
There may have been 20 shots on goal by each team. Some were on target, which the goalkeeper saved. Some were nearly on target forcing the crowd to go "Ooooooooooooh". Some were wide of the target and everyone laughed.
Crowd precipitation. It's the reason I go. There's nothing like a good tribal chant with your peers on a Saturday afternoon. It can make you weekend if you start the sing-song. "You're shit and you know you are".
Maybe someone was sent off for elbowing, kneeing and then headbutting (Barton). Maybe there other incidents like racism (Terry - you know what you are). Maybe someone died and was brought back to life on the pitch (Muamba).
If the referee was a Wanker, it's another talking point for the week ahead. Threads and threads of talking points.
It's all part of the experience known as football.
We've been watching the torch being bussed around the country via the BBC's live stream. I don't know about other countries, but ours have flashing 30mph signs that only flash when you're going above the speed limit. We've been counting...
I'm not doing so well at the game. I've only counted them speeding twice.

K THX..... nope, I can't do it.
It was there a few days ago. I checked while replying to a CleanMyPC post.
Did you try turning it off and on again?
I installed that months back.
Now I realise how few websites I visit these days.
When did the WWW become so shit?
Shit, you work at my place? Or maybe you are me?

Making it "bug free" was my largest mistake.
1) Send the display image to the monitor via WiFi
2) See #1
3) See #1
Google Docs inside my phone's browser works fine, and there are binaries that open word processing documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
I wonder why a dock is needed at all. Bluetooth for the keyboard and mouse. WiFi to send the image to a monitor. All are possible today.
