    It's not been a good day so far.

    Managed to change password, then in a fit of madness, convince myself that I hadn't by entering consistently the wrong one.

    After the support lot had reset the pw, I then remembered what it should have been in the first place.

    I'm getting old.

        Well I had a fishing call from computer futures, it was blatantly obvious he was reading from a script, so I kept pretending it was a bad line and getting him to repeat stuff before asking him if they actually had a suitable role for me and deciding that I was to busy to finish the call.

        It amused me for 5 minutes.

          Do they make other kinds of calls?

            Any time I see an ad with their name in it or spring or computer people, I never bother applying.

            It must be national fishing day as I've had 4 pointless calls today.

              I get pointless emails from them.

              One of last week's epics was a job for a Mechanical Engineer.

              I forget whether or not I sent a sarky email back in reply.

                The Binary version of the ZeitGhostMSFClock(tm & patent pending) goes.

                i.e. it gives you the time in BCD tens of hours, units of hours, tens of minute and units of minutes.

                I thought a pure binary display would be a bit excessive really.

                  So near and yet so far................

                  Just got a call direct from a company that I've been trying to get into, we have a chat about an interesting role, they're interested, I'm interested. We then talk money, even better, and then he mentions its a permie role

                    I don't think I'd wanted to try and work out the time bleary eyed first thing in the morning on a binary clock.

                      It's for the kiddies.

                      About 10 years ago, according to a staff-student meeting minutes thingie I found, they requested a clock for the lab.

                      Well, now I've made one.
