In the good old days if you blinked you would miss an important post...

There were important posts on here?

Were they all from that zeitghost chap?

Yay, change freeze just put in for the foreseeable future, whilst the hospital deals with Covid-19.

That means my project is on hold, and there's naff all on in support right now. Back to tossing it off and wasting time on CUK.

oh, yeh.
the popup window that pops up off screen so you cant access it?
that popup window?

bloody interweb devs.
pizza munching spotties, the lot of them.

bah.

Not saying the popup is a good solution in the first place, but whoever wrote the JavaScript has no control whatsoever over where the popup appears. The blame lies either with the OS, or with the browser failing to correctly use the OS’s window creation routine.

But definetly not the bloke who coded it. Absolutely not. Remind me again who was that?

Actually I might be wrong: I thought browsers stopped paying attention to window positioning parameters, but it looks as if maybe they still do. Just checking if the vBulletin code uses them… no, it doesn’t, so it’s yer browser/OS

Some employee of the company that makes vBulletin, I assume

Booze is only antiseptic if it's over 60% alcohol.

I wasn't thinking of doing anything other than drink it.

There's a litre of isopropanol somewhere, and two bottles of surgical spirit upstairs in the bathroom cabinet.

I bought another 2 litres of Southern Comfort whilst out shopping in Morfa Retail Park in Ye Greate Metropolise of Swansea.

And a lenovo chromebook, and some stuff from B&Q, and some sort of pc fixit thing from Currys.

Expensive afternoon by my standards.

I haven't felt overly wonderful all day, so I dunno what's brewing.

Unlikely: they mostly seemed to be about various Cunning Plans for World Domination* that inevitably were doomed to failure, sucking up to The Master, baiting The Wig Wearing War Criminal, and suchlike dross.


*However considering recent events, maybe one of his Cunning Plans might just have worked.

Right, that's enough of that. Time to clear off out of here.
