      Certainly will

      Just positioning the 5 mini speakers around the room while installing XP

      Think I'll have 100G for XP, 300 GB for data and a spare 100GB for Linux + farting around (Windows server OS's/apps etc)

        Very sunny up here now too, although it's taking its time to warm up

            Nope - I reckon I'll be out of here at five

            Then I've just got to make it round the Bradford ring road, down the M606, along the M62 and down the M1, and I'm finally done with Yeadon

            It's a bit odd really - when I've finished working in places like Bristol or the West End, there's always this vague assumption that I'll be back there again at some point, either with another client or just visiting; but I'll probably never have any reason to come to Yeadon ever again

              What is it with CUK?

                I feel like that about Forest Farm in Cardiff, an industrial estate in St Mellons, an industrial estate in Bristol, the Gellihirion industrial estate near Treforest, an industrial estate in Cwmbran, and an industrial estate in Newport (Gwent).

                Mostly because the places I worked at no longer exist... or I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than go there again...

                  Just searched on my defunct company... and got 4 or 5 hits...

                  Amazing.

                    Last year I did a Google search for a company I'd worked for in 1984 - 85.

                    To my great surprise, the very first result included my own name in the snippet - it was from a FAQ page quoting a post I made to comp.lang.forth in 1993

                      Certain people enjoy trolling other people and know which buttons to press to do it. Most of the really flamey threads on CUK are started by the same 3 or 4 members, one way or another.
