What's on the other end - is it just a Molex extender/splitter cable? If it is, I'm guessing someone doesn't know how to wire a Molex plug.

Applying for a new job online, using the company's page.
In both Firefox and Safari, the form didn't accept the application.
Keep getting an error message.
Use the 'contact us' link, write up a message for an HR email address to use instead, and that keeps error'ing too.

They do have an ad for a .net developer.
Which isn't what I'm after.

Reversing out of the parking spot at work, I oversaw the 15cm high post where the garden door is fixed when it is open. Ripped off the bumper on the passenger side. :(

Spectacularly annoying fail on my part. Traded in my significantly poorly iPhone 5S for a nice shiny new iPhone 6S over the weekend (that in and of itself is not a fail in the slightest). In all my excitement at getting the new phone however, I left behind the only contact point for all my work related 2-Factor Auth stuff. Now waiting for one of the other guys to get in to see if they can reset it on their end.

Didn't you back up the phone before getting the new one? Restoring should get the data back...

I did have a full backup and restored from it, but it looks like Google Authenticator has something that twigs and requires a fresh confirmation, and the SIM for the corresponding phone number was left in the phone.

With any luck the EU will sort it out FFS.

"Amnesty International said on Monday it was ironic that a mechanism established to ensure the rights of minorities in Northern Ireland had been used to deny a fundamental right to the LGBT minority in the province."
True.

One of the comments under the article : "Northern Ireland. An hour and 300 years away from Heathrow. You couldn't make the place up.".
Hahaha.

I wonder if it's the old thing of funding hush hush, off the record ops... Cos that's beyond even our own MOD financial shenanigans.
