Of course excessive drooling and general fussiness are ment to be the classic signs of teething. But first time around you have no idea that this level of unsettledness is any different. So on the back of an eczema flare up, Amelia decided to pop out a couple of incisors!
Have you ever tried to get a baby to open her mouth on cue?
Finally
All happy now, my face has cleaned up and my teeth hurt less..
I was getting worried that summery conditions would never end, but then a couple of good autumn storms fixed all of that.
I like my N85, I really do. But why can’t device makers (from camera makers to phone suppliers, printer hawkers and all the other e-guys) ever test their PC integration software?
I just wanted to update the phone firmware. The updater wanted to update itself . Finally, it decided that I don’t have admin privs for this account and it wants to bail (like Microsoft hasn’t been shipping various OS with different privileges and a means to escalate for some time now…) Of course the damn thing can’t shutdown. Task manager to kill it, which caused the software updater to show a “are you sure” dialog. Then it exited.
Was the dialog hidden behind the app window? Did Nokia even test this stuff. I know the answer, that’s why I’m depressed.
No, I’m serious.
Dual booting. OpenWRT router. Visa laptops connect via WPA2 fine. Fedora11 fine, until I install some updates. Boot back into Vista for a few days. Go back to Fedora, no connection.
I don’t care what the problem is anymore. I’m not sure I care about Fedora anymore. I know you are thinking another whine. Fair enough.
So Channel9 has decided to broadcast Serenity at 8:30 on Saturday nights? What has it been? 7 years? How long will it last?
Dr. Quinn meets the new Battlestar? only 7 years too late.
I guess I could care if CH9 was more than a casino holding company.
When you buy products from many IT companies you usually have to register. This will include telling them stuff like you email address and usually what country you are in. Often they require a lot more in the name of “serving you better”, right.
Do they ever actually use this information in a way that in beneficial to you? I don’t think so.
The number of dim entities that keep offering me cheap or free admission to an industry sponsored conference, … somewhere in the US. Now they know I’m in Australia. They required me to tell them that.
Worse than the geographic stupidity is the timezone cluelessness. Its even cheaper to run a “webinar” these days. Yay team, interact with our best engineers (as opposed to the ones who got pushed into marketing?). Again, no good sending an invite to me for 9am PST (Pacific standard time)! You know I’m at UTC+10, because you asked for it when I created a login! Extra insult is that webinars are not archived so that I can watch the one that occurred while I was sleeping/at work.
I keep wanting it to be good. But really, what’s the point?
I guess we have to just accept our market is small. A show concept built around general competence, interest and goof factor is always going to suffer when all you have is low budget goof factor.
ANZ Bank apparently handed out 40 000 of these wands during the first night of Sydney Festival this year. I wonder what is inside one…..
Boxing day sales today. As a husband, my job is mostly to hang around and carry things, prefereably not wandering off. During the interminable queues for access to the fitting rooms the husband has to find something to do. And since he is standing in the ladies apparel department, he needs to be somewhat circumspect. In my case: find some not so good looking clothes on a rack, stands nearby, but our of a thoroughfare and stare off into the middle distance.
Well today I found out something unusual…
Any clothes, no matter how unflattering, can be made instantly more desirable by stationing a disinterested male in front of them!
It worked over and over again. And not just with me, I saw many other guys shooed out of the way so ladies could descend onto the racks and dismiss the mechanise. I think I need a beer…
