Nothing to do with the 8 pints and Kebab you had the other night

Opera

Uses the same Blink engine as Chrome but it has gestures built-in.

Hah! I was actually meant to be out for bowling + food Wednesday night but my colleague went home ill so we called it off for the time being as I started feeling a bit iffy, turns out for the best really as I've been pretty much bedridden since

I went to have a look at Chrome as we use it at work for a couple of things. However I ended up with loads of pop-ups and rather than having to find and install the apps I needed went for a downgrade of firefox instead. It looks like there has been a bit of an uproar and so I reckon they'll bring back what I need before it becomes a major security concern.

I remember why I virtually never use itunes any more. Downloaded an album on to my computer. Tried to transfer it to iphone via itunes. What does itunes want to do? Download everything I've ever purchased and stick it on my phone but then complain it cannot find the music folder despite adding the frikkin play list. It's taken me 90 mins and I'm still nowhere near getting the album on to the iphone.

Meanwhile copy folder to SD card and can play straight away in my car.

Interesting read. Thanks.

The saga continues however.
It took ESL a month (well, okay less 2 days) to refund the money they took off me. As part of their complaints procedure they say that collection activity will be suspended while they investigate and until they have issued their final response. Imagine my surprise then, 2 days after they'd refunded the first lot of money they took out of my bank account they took the same amount again. Not only that, but they sent me a letter dated a day before they took the second payment to update me on the progress (or lack thereof) of their investigation which reiterated that collection activities would be suspended until they had issued their Final Response (their emphasis, not mine).

They're getting a somewhat snotty letter (recorded delivery) for their troubles and quite frankly I no longer care what their Final Response will be. In my opinion this level of aggressive incompetence is simply not acceptable for a body handling anything to do with money, let alone student loans.
Once I've completed their complaints procedure I will be referring them to the Financial Services Ombudsman and will be kicking up as much stink as I possibly can (hello Watchdog).

After reverting to FF28 I set automatic updates to ask for permission, but it went right ahead and installed FF29 anyway. I've now reverted to FF28 again and set updates to never, and now it asks me, and threatens to ask me again if I don't update now. Bloody thing is getting as bad as IE used to be.

Either the night engineer is a lazy piece of [LIFTED], or the office are incompetent [LIFTED] and haven't told him he needs to be here.
Either way the night engineer hasn't shown up, so I'm now on 24 hour call for this very busy, very fast, technically challenging well.
The best the office can do is say they might be able to get someone here with the right certification by wednesday. We'll be a third of the way through the well by then,
Looks like I'm not getting much sleep for the next few days.

It's gets better.
The new night engineer who was supposed to arrive today (as a replacement for the one who didn't show up a few days ago) doesn't have any of the required safety paperwork.
At this rate I'm going to drill the entire well by myself.

Why the bloody hell doesn't the Beeb leave iPlayer alone? Every time they fix one bit of it they break something that previously worked fine!

On the PS3 at least it's lost all my favourites (every fcuking time that happens with an update).

You can't just bump the time indicator along any more, no, you select a speed, and dear love you if you want to jump to somewhere near the end cos it's a long wait. And it's not like Netflix or something where you get a preview of what's going by.

The screen is filled with info and options - I'll watch Good Morning Britain if I want that sh1t.

The one thing it has going for it is that it's generally very quick - remarkable given it's operating on a PS3.

It would seem it can only hold 10 favourites too now - no amount of Googling has provided an answer to this cock-up

Asked the iPlayer team why favourites now only holds ten shows on the PS3...



It went on and on listing all the supposedly great new features, all of which are utterly pointless in comparison to what they replaced, or existed in the first place!

I don't give a flying fcuk about 'finding something to watch' - it's a fcuking catch-up service!

Consequently, I'm using iPlayer LESS since nobody in their right mind could remember or would sit typing in the names of all the shows they used to watch EVERY SINGLE TIME.

What sort of a moron came up with this? If they haven't been shot yet I don't mind borrowing one of Bratty's .22s and doing the job myself...

Why does everyone here have to be so half-arsed about everything they do? It's quite easy

1. Set up the label template so it knows what the data fields are called
2. Set up the printer config table so it tells the software to write a label command file to the label data folder
3. Set up the Printing service to scan the label data folder for command files

How can that end up like spaghetti?

"Timehop" application on Facebook. LOOK! even though my post wasn't interesting exactly 5 years ago today, I'm going to post it again, with even less relevance!

Christ on a Megabus, why does updating your product inevitably involve breaking it these days? Firefox, iPlayer...
