Hi All,
I feel the need to whinge, late nights, poor food, and the classic "Have you got it ready yet?, he's needs it, you are the block in production". The "you are the block in production" makes me laugh, the block in production is due to the appalling state of the software (it appear to work as the error handling was turned off), the lack of documentation (having to pick through the C command parser), the unwillingness to give out how they have altered the test rig... Now I'm getting the blame! I don't count myself as a code ninja, but the skills I have (Serial Comms) I think I am reasonably good at (counting the reviews of an article I published here). I honestly need to sit down and talk to the Boss man he's going to go ballistic.

Try and record it if it happens, could be quite humorous!

Trust Me it wont!, for me

Having been the recieving end on occasion, I can sympathize. Usually afterwards though, reflecting on some of the crap that was said during the tirade, one usually finds some amusing bits. Good luck in any case.

Well just had a start of the "it can't be done" conversation with the Boss, his reply was well the <redacted! for="" my="" own="" good=""> needs to see something quickly or he won't believe we have been working on it! To which my reply was I have good solid comms to the DUT.

see? a classic line already! Next will be the "Well, maybe I'll get someone in here who can!" idle threat. Are there others on your team, could you approch as a united front?

No Team, just myself (and others that live in my head), I did say I didn't want to do it...it was a heap a mass of VB code that seem to work after caressing the ini file, praying to the correct deity, sacrifice. I have had to do other things at the same time... no support when it has been asked for...it's there <<expletive deleted="">> fault.

Sounds like a lose - lose situation, hope it improves.

Not actually news, and after ten years of fungus food and tantric no sex the man must be desperate for a steak and a shag.
However, I just liked the idea of Bahama Splits.
Now if FLOTUS and POTUS split it would also have humorous consequences.

I really wished they would stay together.
I think they should be forced to suffer each other so the rest of us don't have too.

At least this will get him back working on their multi-dvd live concert album boxed set...

Well if the Bahamas don't get you in the spirit nothing will!
But makes me think of a quote from Six days seven nights;
Quinn: They come here looking for the magic, hoping to find romance, when they can't find it anywhere else.
Robin: Maybe they will.
Quinn: It's an island, babe. If you didn't bring it here, you won't find it here.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

I need to use the Skype screen sharing feature and I have, after trying hard, found that the wEight version doesn't appear to support it.
I am now installing GOF Desktop, fingers crossed it'll work as expected.
|
|
|
|
|
Try to use TeamViewer, never left me down so far....
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Agreed, but the people I AM WORKING FOR want Skype, so they get Skype.
Simples.
Any hoof, I've now installed and tested the desktop version and it shockingly does what it says on the box - works.

Just got an idea: Install a web cam pointing towards your monitor, and send them the link to access the stream.

I seemed to have lost it a week or so back.
I think I left it in a pub, but I'll be Parised if I can remember which one.

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I think they've removed that option for unpaid accounts...
Teamviewer is the right way to go if you need that.
Good luck!

I want to open two savings accounts to run parallel to the Business Current Accounts.
Lloyds - We will have to send out a form get you to fill it in and send it back, then we review it and if ok it will be opened in about 10 days.
Barclays - Ok Sir, and what would you like the account called? Ok that's fine. We will text you today with the log in details and it should be ready to go in 24 to 48 hours.
Hmmm, Lloyds seem to have some strange idea about Customer Service and Convenience.

Lloyds do their AML process in a much less automated way in order to avoid incurring the wrath of the FSA. Barclays have their own parking space outside the FSA offices 
I'd go with savings bonds instead
