SPAM random annoying things

I bought a big arse screen for our boardroom, cabling (HDMI and VGA) will be going to the boardroom table, or you can just use it with the micro PC I bought.

I might see about getting a displayport put in too as a just in case.

I've found my own solution to this problem - I just never go to meetings.

 

[Edmond]

Always, but plan ahead. If you can't guarantee it'll work, have a backup plan. Death by powerpoint is never good.

I keep a spare drill on the van in case the other one packs up.....same thing?

If people book a meeting at our place the projector and everything is already set up. We have a 21 inch touch screen sunk into the desk as well so if the presentation is just on USB you can just plug a go. If not the projector has VGA/HDMI/DP and DVI there are also Mini DP/HDMI to DP/HDMI adaptors in there. It is really cool and it all goes over the CAT 6 to the projector. I ran up DAOC once on the touch screen and played it on the whole wall for a laugh.

USB sticks aren't allowed in our building.

Removable media is locked down in my joint.

We are not that far along. Flash drives are blocked on some machines using Sophos, but the Meeting Room machine is on the DMZ so there is not much anyone can do with it.

I hate to suck my own dick here

Word on the street is you are not the only one who hates to suck your dick.....
Kudos for the effort though

 

[old.user4556]

I'm not convinced anyone likes sucking dick. Maybe we can have a vote thread.

 

[Moriath]

I cant see what women get out of it heh

Do you not enjoy eating a bird out?

 

[soze]

My mates call me weird for this but I do enjoy eating a bird out and I prefer they don't put my dick in their mouth unless it is there start to finish. My reasoning for this is as long as I can remember I have been told to wash my hands after touching my dick and the idea of her having it in her mouth then trying to kiss me really does put me off. But I have no issue spending some quality time going down on her.

Pah, "bird", so pretentious - you mean chicken?

I've spent around 4 hours trying to install a SSD, I had it working, then it wouldn't load at the windows screen (after password)

Very annoying.

 

[Scouse]

weird

@Scouse I'll give you a fiver to pop out to my house and fix this.

When your drink is so cold it gets condensation on the outside and sticks to the coaster.

Guess it just comes from not being able to read other people.

Now my PC is broke.

'Bootmgr' missing

Won't work.

Fuck my life.

 

[TdC]

BIOS > change boot order?
Boot from windows USB/DVD and repair install?

I dunno mate. When Windaze gets confused, sometimes a reinstall is just the way forwards :-/

 

[Scouse]

What @TdC said. Easiest way.

 

[Lakih]

Also, check for newer firmware for the SSD.

My cousin had been ill for years and finally had his colon removed. The doctor said he was cured so to celebrate he went with his family to visit relatives in America. While over there he developed another problem and was too ill to come back. He's finally made it home but his travel insurance are refusing to pay out so now he's stuck with a $60,000 bill. Stupid, barbaric, fucked up system

Did he lie on the travel insurance application? If they were made aware of a pre-existing condition and insured him he could sue for the money, and if its a different condition, he could sue for the money. But if he didn't tell them about his existing condition...

I don't know the details but I doubt he lied, he's not stupid. Apparently the insurance company are re-reviewing his case at the moment but the hospital wants paying now and dealing with all that shit is a massive extra stress they shouldn't have.

KLM have lost my baggage. Probably to do with the stupid Turkish "partner" airline putting it on the wrong flight. I spotted this on the baggage ticket, informed KLM in Amsterdam, and it still hasn't arrived.

Fucking annoying. They apparently have about 20 days to find it before I can go after them for compensation, but I need it next week. Cost of replacement is many monies.

Well to be honest, the US premiums for travel insurance are insanely high if you've got a recent condition. He wouldn't be the first person to take a punt on it.

Personally, I'd make the hospital wait and refer all of their contact to the insurers.
