Quite right, just testing your matrix-like reactions. Long words like necessarily occasionally confuse me. If I could get the damned smileys to work, there'd be an embarassed looking one right about here.

Erm......... my signature has had the line 'Not neccessarily work safe' in it for ages. You have to be able to read to notice though of course.

Tsk, tsk! It is sloppiness like that that leads to the monster that is 'test please delete' not being the number one returned search result from your SKA!

The mag title is actually PCAnswers, not PCAdvisor as posted earlier, but none of you bought it anyway so I guess its okay....

Find out where they are coming in and put flour down. Or you could use * <whisper> ant powder * and hope Xog doesn't find out.
Well done on the continued rise of SKA, keep us posted.

You should know there is only one way to deal with little creatures. Provide them with somewhere better and ask if they would mind awfully moving on. If I hear of people squashing ants I go round and steal their mother's corpse.

Woah, good job xoggoth, congrats!

Now that you know about these things - there are ants in the kitchen in new place where I now live, any suggestions on how to deal with them?

That does it. If you are going to bore us all with reviews of your software, so will I. Reviews in the Guardian of my Animals UK and Plants UK a few weeks back.

Brilliant software

Sadly no online version of the article available

Nice one Alex

still a shame that "Test Please Delete" results don't report the important one on the 1st page.

I just emailed them to ask for permission, think it might be done anyway, but I want to be nice to good people from PCAdvisor, but here is something to stimulate your taste buds, article is called

"Many idle PCs make light work: Tanya Combrinck looks at how distributed computing can enable your PC to fight deseaces, compete with Google and even look for alient" (emphasis is mine - AtW)
