  • Words do no justice..

    .. well not printable words suitable for a public place anyway.. If you are a bit upset at the prospect of having no proper desktop, take some solace in the newly designed METRO styled Windows logo. Tada!! Nice eh.. some people are drooling over this.  Note that it may not be the finished version...

  • A case for Windows 8..

    A desktop case, that is.. I was just looking through the latest edition of CPU User, and I came across an advert for the perfect Windows 8 desktop case. Like Windows 8, it lacks some of the more traditional elements that we have come to expect. What it has.. Futuristic looks Easy access to the ‘internals...

  • Readying for Windows 8 Beta.

    While I was looking into the kernel power error, I did some work on tidying the cables inside, essentially to free up a SATA power cable for the drive that will hold the Windows 8 beta. I have a Seagate 160gb SATA drive which has been pushed through tests, and it has passed with flying colours. I am...

  • Yet another pathetic spam from WinZip

    Is WinZip ever going downhill fast. I purchased a WinZip license, as well as the self installer, back in about 2000 or so.   I upgraded over a few years and now am up to 9.0 SR-1 dated 2004.  Which is the last version on which I can use my original license key.   In early 2009...

  • Anybody remember ‘Judy Patch’?

    I have been trawling through some of my saved URL’s and came across this one. At the time, it was difficult to determine if the website was for real or just an attempt at comedy. Personally, I believe that it was constructed in all good faith that it would be of help to people.I don’t think that Judy...

  • Exceeding 2 Gb MDB file size (and a bit of TGIF humour)

    Exceeding the 2 Gb MDB file size gives you an exceedingly misleading error message: In Jet 4.0 one message that is received when the 2 Gb file size is exceeded is invalid argument. This is, of course, utterly confusing and can mean other things such as corruption. In A2007/ACE (I was running in an ACCDB...

  • Twitter and Swine Flu

    Swine Flu I don't get Twitter. There is so much crap on there I just don't care about. And my life is far too boring to post any such minutiae. So I laughed quite hard when I saw the XKCD cartoon. Ok, so it is interesting reading about my sisters life over in Sri Lanka because it is so different...

  • Humour: Mac users and VBA

    "We've solved the problem with lack of VBA support on Macs, and it was very easy: we got rid of the Macs. Typically our mac users were pretty expensive to support, being on average less skilled and lacking in knowledge of basics like what a file is, how to search the web, etc, and additionally...

  • Humour: Engineering specifications

    I worked on an ERP system for a welding shop which had a lot of pipe so I found the following to be particularly funny. For example the price book was 40 pages, with 17 pages full of tables with diameter and wall thickness of the pipe on the x and y axis and the price in the grid. Each of the 17 pages...

  • Humour: The Microsoft Guide to Valentine's Day

    The Microsoft Guide to Valentine's Day I thought this was reasonably humourous. Just catching up on email, blogs, Facebook, newsgroups and other such necessities of life after grandma's funeral. And I was on dialup for four days. All the wireless access points in the range of my laptop at that...

  • Spit does not go clunk at -40 aka Converting to Metric

    I just had to laugh long and loud when I read the Converting to Metric XKCD cartoon. In light of the Canadian prairie deep freeze where the temps have had wind chills in the -40 and -45 C for quite a number of days recently. Spit does not go clunk at -40. Mind you there are some videos on YouTube showing...

  • Microsoft's Fargo campus mocks Redmond's snow

    Microsoft's Fargo campus mocks Redmond's snow - A highly amusing mock emergency alert. I should add that in the last few weeks we've had a few days of wind chill temperatures of -40 as I walk to the coffee shop. And at those temps it only takes about 15 seconds of removing a mitt, pulling...
