a pali is very not odd

Currently... in a little while they'll be even again...

Ah.

The relief.

It hasn't screwed up any PALIs or 00s or 000s or 0000s...

What are the rules on newbies moving the 00, 000, or 0000s? Does the original winner have to give them back?

[zeitghost]

Nah.

If it wasn't there when the award was made, why should it make a difference later?

It screws up Nick's statistics though...

Don't worry, the chimp will figure something out, I'm sure of that.

I'm finishing early to go & tax the car...

Deep joy...

Now it's time to go to hospital for an ECG and to have a continuous blood pressure monitor machine strapped / glued / nailed to my person.

So I've just come back, with a blood pressure monitor velcro & rubbery sheet thing attached to my arm. (The sweat rash has already begun...)

So while there he tests the monitor. "Here for low blood pressure, yes?"
"No, high blood pressure."

He checks it again. He reads the letter from my GP.

He goes and gets a normal mercury blood pressure thingy. He reads my blood pressure. "It is too low."

Anyway, we've come home. The gadget beeped and took my blood pressure ... something over 60-something (I can't read it very well with it strapped to me) = too low. WTF?

So I used the blood pressure onitor we bought from the chemist (which gives the same readings as the GP gets) ... too high, 120 over 92. WTF?

This isn't looking worthwhile...

When we couldn't get the zigbee stuff to do much, she took the kit home & eventually got it to work at 4 a.m. by downloading some sort of configuration thingie from the website.

Clearly too much humgromit on the floggletoggle.

This sums up why I hate Oracle

Uninstall should mean "remove all trace" and not require endless f**king about with regedit.

Before installing anything on my own machines I decide: do I do a full backup first, or a full restore first?

For backups I take a disc image. When I want to uninstall anything, I don't anymore, I do an incremental backup (two of), an image restore, an incremental backup restore. It is usually far, far quicker than trying to uninstall something.

When installing something, I just need to decide whether to clean the machine back to the last image, or whether to take a fresh image, before the installation.

Got a WebEx meeting thing in a couple of minutes to faciliate the dumping of more code on us by the former parent company of ClientCo.

This particular system is a mixture of Visual Babysick and C++ circa Visual Studio 6. Oh joy.

Well, that was painful. Far too much copying and editing of files for my liking.
