It's easily done, especially when your glasses are half-bottle sized...

It's plainly obvious that Eugene Tooms has returned...



Just be thankful you still have a liver!

Application forms annoy me. For 'questions' like "Please outline your interest in and experience of relevant areas, you could tell us about your research interests, your career aspirations, critically analyse a past piece of work and how it relates to your future direction, or if you are coming from a different discipline contextualise how that experience connects with computer animation/ film/ visual effects or gaming." I'd much rather be asked in an interview and have a proper discussion about things, but cheapness wins yet again...

As you know, I'm in the job market. The following annoys me.

Job descriptions, written by committee in flowery management speak and running on for at least a page and half in my browser, which expect entirely unreasonable amounts of experience - some of which is outside the remit of the actual job on offer - for what is basically a junior post.

The kind of job I can do in my sleep, but expects me to be not only Mary Poppins in my main core skills, but supremely competent in everything else the company gets involved in as well.

The kind of job I will apply for, even though I know full well I won't be offered a first interview.

The kind of job that will be offered to someone who is not me.

In work... on a saturday... again

Amazes me that on top of the large project deadline nooming they think it's fine to pull me off it to spend 2 days on other projects and in meetings. The dev deadline is this Friday FFS (which I'm not in for)

F'ing smartphones!

The GF's younger brother has an htc Sensation... He got it on his renewed contract with T-Mobile.

But:
1) He doesn't use the Internet on his PC
2) He doesn't have a Google Mail account (GMail is a trademarked name in Germany and Google's mail service is name@googlemail.com here).
3) He didn't get a new SIM, when he changed phones, so he has no Internet connectivity on the phone
4) He didn't bother to set it up to even work on his WLAN network at his shop
5) All his phone numbers are still in the SIM card, so he wanted to know how he could save them, before swapping it out against the new SIM card.
6) He never connected the phone to his PC to make a backup or synchronise it.
7) He expected me to do it, but didn't bring the power supply for his 5 year old laptop, so the battery was flat by the time we had downloaded and installed the software!

Corrected.

Not just the family, I've just posted a longer, questioning version in the Gadgets section. It is exactly the same at work, we have iPhone users with 3GS models, which have never been plugged into a PC, since they were initially activated and still have old versions of the firmware and OS on them...

I paid a fair amount for a Dremel 4000. It came with lots of attachments. But you what'd be really useful? A decent set of instructions!

The kit came with cutting discs. But I can't figure out how to attach it! There's a few spindle type things and one has a screw on. Took the screw out, placed the disc on top and then tried to screw it in. Didn't work! The screw just won't fit through the hole in the cutting disc!

Looked on the web and they tell me to do what I've been trying to do!

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

If you can't work out what to do without a manual then you shouldn't have purchased it.

Undo screw, screw it through the cutting disk in to the spindle.


Job done

It doesn't fit through the hole in the cutting disc! That's the main problem for me. The screw is too big. I've tried ensuring the thread goes through but TBH the hold in the cutting disc is tiny, maybe 1mm.

What you need is a Dremel, to drill a bigger hole in your cutting discs.

You just need to push harder with the screwdriver.

I have a shoe size of about UK 10-11, depending on the shoes. Socks that range from sizes 6-11 are unsuitable, they lose comfort and thermal properties and wear out too bloody fast. I wish the manufacturers would offer smaller ranges, or ranges that overlapped more.
