I would gladly stay an after thought
I got great news today. Well, as far as I can tell, so far at least, it's great news. Only time will tell I supose. I shall celebrate it alone. Maybe I’ll buy myself some flowers. Though, I don’t much need them, as I have Singapore orchids from when I was about to die of a cold from the in-laws. Probably not chocolate, given the cluster of stress zits (gross, I’m well aware) that I have going on on my face at the moment. Maybe a pair of new hair clips? Perhaps do some washing. Perhaps get some sleep. I think about 10 people have told me that I look crap today. That does much for the self esteem. Really, it does. SlashEndSarcasm.
Just a note, when entering HTML into Serendipity admin (eg to insert an image) you should before and after. Just in case you care. It's a technical tip, and according to Alec, these occasionally help people.
Spent a lot of time exploring Internet Banking today. I found it terribly exciting, though I can more than understand why perhaps you would not. Ever so glad I only offered to bring the laptop, and not the laptop and projector back to head office, as the bruise on my leg from the edge of the laptop shall be insane by morning, this I don’t doubt.
I picked up my Star of the Month’s yesterday from the space where my team used to live. It’s cold, and lonely without them. Two of the awards are mine, but my favourite by far, is the one awarded to my team which technically no longer exists (both in name, and in members), from the ex CEO of a company that doesn’t really exist anymore, oh, and the spelt our name wrong. But I still love it. And perhaps, once we have a new team, the new MD, will award us an award at some point in the new Brand. Or something.

More Tech
Quadro NVS 290 + Multiple nview_info errors in Event Viewer.
Fix by disabling Nvidia Control Panel.
Worked a treat for me and stopped photoshop crashing every 2.3 minutes.
The point of it all.......Ignore the errors - These lyrics are stolen
Oh, what a noble, distinguished collection of fine little friends you have made
Hitting the tables without you again:
"No, we'll wait, no, we promise, we'll wait"
June makes these excellent sewing machines out of common industrial waste
She spends a few days at a time on the couch, but she's safe
she wears shades, she wears shades
Oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
And you're aces for coming along
You're almost human, after all
And you're learning that just 'cause they call themselves friends
Doesn't meant they'll call
They made the comment in jest
But you've got the needle
I guess that's the point of it all
Maybe a week in the tropics would help to remind you how nice life can be
We propped you right up in a chair on a deck with a beautiful view of the sea
But a couple weeks later we came back and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen
You had magically moved to the closet
Eyes fixed to the place where the dryer had been
Oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
And you're aces for coming along
You're almost human, after all
Why on earth would I keep you propped up in here when you so love the fall?
The pattern's laid out on the bed
With dozens of colors of thread
But you've got the needle
I guess that's the point in the end
It's better to waste your day watching the scenery change at a comatose rate
Than to put yourself in it and turn into one of those cigarette ads that you hate
But while you were sleeping some men came around
Said they had some dimensions to take
I'm not sure what they were talking about but they sure made a mess of your face
But still, no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
And you're aces for playing along
You're almost human, even now
And just 'cause they call themselves experts
It doesn't mean sweet fuck all
They've got the permanent press
Homes with a stable address
And they've got excitement
And life by the fistful
But you've got the needle
I guess that's the point of it all

Australia PSTN Ring Tone Cadence
mood: geeky
Im talking about the Ring Ring when you call someone from a line...
This is the details :)
Spectrum Analysis shows:
0ms - Full Ring (200ms) - 400ms - Ring Fade out(100ms) - 500ms - No Ring(100ms) - 600ms - Ring Fade In(100ms) - 700ms - Full Ring(300ms) - 1000ms - Ring Fade out(300ms) - 1100ms - No Ring (2900ms)- 3000ms - Repeat
As far as i can tell from google it (officially) should be:
0.00 - Full Ring(400ms) - 0.40 - No Ring(200ms) - 0.60 - Full Ring(400ms) - 1.00 - No Ring(2000ms) - 3.00 - Repeat
Based on that it if your having problems with accurate detection you might need to "Tune" a bit from the official figures :)
