We've actually had a couple of nice days here in London - I was even able to cut the grass in my shorts on Friday!! - but typically it then turned cold over the weekend.....

I'm sure Spring will turn up at some point.



Weren't those two nice days your spring?

That's not a bad camera at all. Very nice for a phone. One of those i4's is probably in my future as I'm coming to the end of my servitude to Sprint and have no wish to continue with them.

It's ironic that in the real world I'm very patient and rarely reach the point of anger. Boards seem to drag out a different persona unfortunately.

Not sure why that is. I do know that I fear greatly what would happen should I be pushed past that point in reality.



There is the bit that one can be reasonable sure that they will never get the snot beaten out of them for posting stuff online which would probably get their teeth kicked in if they said it to someones face.

I, for one, make a concious effort to stay as close to my real world persona as I can to avoid that pitfall.


Same here. Of course I make my living at least in part by getting along with people

Has anyone heard (or seen) Nik lately? i am guessing he is moving from Fleattle to Houston (or its vicinity) but it has been 8 days since he's posted on the forum...



Was wondering the same thing. Hope all is well.

This response begs for an explanation... or would that violate our family friendly forum etiquette?

Tech Support | Allentown, PA, USA

(I work engineering support late in the evening.)

Me: “Pennsylvania Support Center. How may I help you?”

Caller: “The cleaning crew just came through my office, and now my mouse doesn’t work. The cursor just jumps all over the screen randomly when I move it. They broke my mouse. I need a new one.”

Me: “You have a SPARCstation with an optical mouse, correct?”

Caller: “Yes, with the cool glass mouse-pad.”

(Old-school optical mice used to require special reflective mouse-pads with grids etched into their surfaces. To increase tracking resolution, the vertical and horizontal grids had slightly different spacing.)

Me: “Did the cleaning crew wipe down your desk?”

Caller: “Yes.”

Me: “Did they move your mouse-pad?”

Caller: “What does that have to do with anything?”

Me: “Did your mouse-pad get rotated? Is the long edge of the mouse-pad now parallel to the edge of your desk?”

Caller: “I really don’t see why that’s relevant. I just want a new mouse!”

Me: “The orientation of the mouse-pad matters. The–”

(The caller cuts me off and starts to yell. I realize that I can actually hear his voice coming from down the hall.)

Caller: “Listen! Just open a ticket and have someone bring me a new mouse. I don’t have time for this. I design chips, so I know what I’m talking about. I probably designed the chip in the phone you’re stuck answering all day!”

(I take off my headset, walk down the hall, and walk into his office up to his desk.)

Caller: “…so don’t try to bulls*** me with, oh. Hold on, someone is in my office.”

(I reach down, and rotate his mouse-pad 90 degrees. I move the mouse, and the cursor happily moves around the screen as expected. I walk out of his office, back down the hall, sit down at my desk, and put my headset back on.)

Caller: *silence*

Me: “Thank you for calling Pennsylvania Support Center. I trust I have resolved your case.”

Caller: *silence*

Me: “You will be receiving your ticket number via email. Thank you.”

Caller: *click*





I think this is my favorite one so far.

Been a bit busy lately, always nice to know some folks are having fun.

Closest I've gotten to a vacation lately is trying to cook foreign (to me) food. Had good luck recently with a Moroccan Chicken Tangine and a Scandinavian Salmon. The salmon dish was very tasty. Basically one toasts dill, coriander, fennel and cumin seeds. Roll the salmon filet in the seeds, put in the fridge for a couple hours. Bake and serve with sour cream seasoned with some aquavit, caraway seed and chervil. Very tasty.

Cool! We've been exploring Moroccan cuisine ourselves, since I got a tagine for Christmas. Great food! Preserved lemons are a surprisingly delicious treat!
