I really should have thought about this sooner.
I got new glasses at the weekend from Boots. Took their advice and got their 'protect plus blue' lenses as I do a lot of computer work and the lenses are meant to result in less fatigue caused by the blue light from computer screens. That's all fine until you are doing something where colour is important.
Was editing some photos in Lightroom and was trying various exposure presets. Happened to look over the top of my specs and the colour shift was very noticeable. :x
Glad I spotted it otherwise the colour balance would be out.
Also updated my iPad to 9.3 and had a look at the Night Shift setting. With my glasses on the white point looks very warm indeed, less so without. Shame I can't read the screen without them.

This requires some thought. I don't particularly want to spend on another pair of glasses. Looks like I'll be holding on to my old specs for a while.
Take them back and ask to change them for normal lenses. Shouldn't cost you anything.

If my name was Brian Blessed I would be bellowing "THE AMIGA'S ALIIIIIVE!"

For those of you who weren't aware, I took delivery of an Amiga 1200, from a colleague recently. It had been sat on a wardrobe for the past seven years and needed testing.

It came with a 256MB, yes MEGA Byte Hard drive, but strangely, no cable connecting it to the motherboard.

Long story short, I bough an IDE to Compact Flash adapter and a 4GB CF card, installed Workbench, (The Amiga Operating System) from my PC using an emulator, and we now have a working Amiga!

The floppy drive may be on the way out, as it's not reading any og the disks that came with it, but I've ordered a Floppy Drive USB emulator, so I can play ADF games directly from a USB stick.

Might be boring to most of you, but the chance to practice Kick Off 2 on a real Amiga before the UK Championships in May has got me strangely excited.


I only bloody did it! After a couple of glitches, due to the use of sub folders on the USB stick, I'm only playing Kick Off 2 on an actual Amiga, for the first time in literally decades! WOOHOOOOOOO!

No, it's not an April's fools. I posted it yesterday, which should have been a small, but vital clue ;) but thanks everyone!

One of my colleagues played a joke on his manager yesterday. He put a ticket in the helpdesk system, saying that she should call one of our customers back, because they needed to start slaughtering donkies on the 2nd of April and they needed some advice in setting up the system.

The customer was warned about it last week, so she was in on the joke.

The problem is, it backfired. Instead of calling the customer back, she was running around talking to developers and getting everything configured - our system can cope with pigs, cattle, sheep, goats and horses, but it can't handle donkies. As soon as I realised what she was doing, I sent a message to my colleague, telling him he should tell her it was a joke, but he refused, instead telling her, that the customer had called and she should call back (that was after 15 minutes).

He let it go on for over an hour, before she finally called the customer to say that nearly everything had been configured!

She was furious, when she found out, that she had wasted a whole hour...

Your colleague should be billed for the time she wasted
