Glad to hear it worked out...bet you're going to obsessively back stuff up from now on 
|
|
|
|
|
It's not obsessive until you start considering ways of getting your hourly incrementals offsite...
Is it? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You never know, there might be an electromagnetic pulse or a meteor might land on your office, or a fire or something
|
|
|
|
|
You're right! 
I'd better move the hourlies up to ten minutes, and look at off-sitting those... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

|
|
|
|
Maybe it would just be safer not to work...bad things could happen 
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe if I cover the desk with a duvet, and work under that?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe if it's fire-proof? 
|
|

|

No need, I have a fire wall!

That is a great feeling.
I know.

If that's what you want to do, you shouldn't post it here; you should post it on facebook.

Oui, Mais non [0], Lord Lounge of Luton is a sine qua non, an enfant terrible, primo inter pares, and a nonpareil [1] nonpareil [2].
[0] referring to Dalek Dave's little-known dancing role (in drag) in this video by French chanteuse Mylene Farmer: [^].
[1] nonpareil as noun: "a candy that is a small, flat, round piece of chocolate covered with tiny balls made of sugar" Merriam-Webster
[2] nonpareil as adverbial prepositional phrase used idiomatically: "without equal."

That's because the single word "nonpareil" is described as a "prepositional phrase".
Replace "prepositional phrase" with "preposition", and it sounds more like Latin.
HTH.

Forsooth! Bill used a "prepositional phrase" to end a sentence with?
|
|
|
|
|
Atcherley, "without equal" is an adverbial phrase (or phrasal adverb), so, technically speaking, there isn't a preposition.
But I was trying to avoid technical accuracy, because that feels too much like work, and this is the Lounge, so I went for chuckles.

Hi Mark, when an adverbial phrase has no subject, no predicate, no verb (action implied), it is "legal" to call it an "adverbial prepositional phrase:" [^].
But, I was just raving having fun with vocabulary, and it's probably just as legal to call that usage an adjectival phrase
cheers, Bill

It's "legal" to call it a banana, if you want -- I don't give a bugger, so long as what it intends to communicate is understood by the reader when it's used. That is the only reason that words exist.
[Unnecessarily technical, again] It could be described as a compound adjective if used with a copular verb, but, since a: the synonymous adjective "unequalled" can be used either with or without a copular, and b: adverbs are allowed to modify nouns, there's nothing really to be gained by calling it anything other than an adverb.
Except potential confusion, of course, which seems to be what many "grammarians" (as opposed to people who have studied the language seriously) like to cause -- the baby Jesus went to alt.usage.english and he cried and he cried and he cried.

I have too much respect for bananas do that, Dave.

A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC . Nothing was moving.
Suddenly, a man knocks on the driver's window.
The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped all of our politicians during a sitting of parliament, and they're asking for a $100 million ransom.
Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire.
We are going from car to car collecting donations."
"How much is everyone giving, on average?" the driver asks.
The man replies, "Roughly two gallons."

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.
