Be Excellent To Each Other

It's amazing how many people don't 'see' the FedEx or Amazon logos.

Wait, the Amazon logo? Hang on.

Yeah, the Amazon logo is neat too, on two levels.

This is my favourite logo, I reckon:

Negative shapes are cool.

Every time you are near.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Just saw on reddit that "there is a twitter account that narrates WWII in real time" https://twitter.com/#!/RealTimeWWII

Yeah it's cool, that. There was a blog that did the same for Orwell as well I recall. Was his diary or something. Pretty cool.

https://twitter.com/#!/ukwarcabinet is the same, releasing Cabinet Papers on the appropriate days.

Mind = blown.

I hate that duck.

Does that work on icognito ones?

No.

I remember when this thread was useful

I don't understand.

That perhaps should have been two separate posts.

Anyway, no, you can't use CTRL+Shift+Tab in porn mode.

That the iPhone 4S is actually quite waterproof. Mine fell out of my pocket last night when I was putting the dog's water bowl down, landing in the bowl I'd just filled with water. It sat there in water for a couple of seconds before I retrieved it. I switched it off, dried it and put it in a bag of white rice. It appears to have come away from it's watery encounter unscathed, thank god!

... That I follow DBSnappa on Twitter and Google+.

Also, I learnt that JC has an Xbox.

I still haven't bothered with Google+
JC got his Xbox a wee while ago I think!

He had an Xbox a while ago (for emulators n stuff) - or do you mean he's got a 360 ?

** edit ** Ah , I can see he's got a 360

Is that the 1st sign of the End of days... you know 4 horse men and stuff?

How did you learn this?

Today I learned about Problem Screen Recorded in Win7. If you have friends / family members having problems, tell them to hit start, type 'psr' and click the thing that appears.

Give it a try - it's excellent!

Interesting, although I fear that it would probably baffle my dad, especially when it comes to saving the file and emailing it to me.

That is pretty awesome.

Full on robot chubby! I love that!

Yeah, that's pretty bonzer. Is it just in Win7?

Not in XP

Windows Server 2008 seems to have it too. Windows 2003 Server does not *surprise*.

So I guess modern windows versions have it.

Blimey, never knew that existed and I should do, given what I do for a living!

This is why you equip dads with Dropboxes, and say "click on 'my dropbox'. Click 'save'". Then you look at it.

Plus you sign him up as a referrer, and get 250 extra Dropbox megs, or whatever it is.

[edit]You should also set the IE homepage to http://www.fullonrobotchubby.co.uk/rand ... arents.htm

Windows 7 stuff:
If you browse to a folder in Windows Explorer you can right-click on the 'favorites' on the left (the actual word favorites) and add the current folder to that list. Nifty!

Also, middle mouse button on a taskbar application closes it, but most people knew that.

Oh, and if you are sneaking in use at work and want to hide Live Messenger's huge icon(s) from your task bar, shut it down, right-click on the shortcut you use to open it and run it in compatibility mode for Vista.

If you chew on the wrong end of a "Sharpie" pen, the cap comes off and there's ANOTHER NIB UNDER THERE!! And it's a super fine one.

This is the best discovery I have ever made.

Proof:

The Sharpies we've got at work just have a grey bottom with no extra nib.

That just makes it even better

You have Sharpies at work!? You people are so spoilt...You don't know you're born!! I'm lucky to get a biro I had to steal my stapler off someone else on another site.

INORITE! I also have my own sellotape dispenser.

Some bleeder has nicked my Sharpie, so I can't check this to confirm. Also, someone has used all my staples from my stapler, BUT LEFT MY EMPTY STAPLER ON MY DESK. Common decency says you should refill it, surely?

Common decency implies that when you find the culprit, staple them to the supplies cupboard door as a warning to others.

That isn't a bog standard sharpie, it's a special variant with a fine nib on the other end, hence the fine nib on the other end!

I have two of them and I guard them well.

though I don't guard them

Today I learned that being off work with a headcold is not a valid excuse to avoid going to 'Boogie Tots' to have loud kid's music blasted at me.

You can drag a file onto an the 'choose file' upload button in Chrome and it will add the address to the box.

Also, if you didn't know, if you copy a file and paste it into an address box it will paste the file address.

And in case anyone missed it, Beex itself has shortcut keys - ALT + B for bold, ALT + I for italic and ALT + S or CTRL + Return to submit, among others.

I learnt I can angrily call my supervisor a fat fuck in front of the staff after being outed for stealing food out of the fridge and have the manager laugh and agree.

He is a fat fuck and I demanded a fiver off him to replace a two quid sandwich.

Fat fucking fuck.

I fear that's not going to help me work my PC.

Depends how loudly you shout at it. You're not shouting loudly enough, clearly.

You can play Snake on ANY YouTube video.

Pause it and hold the left arrow key and up arrow key at the same time, be quick though as the snake appears and darts for the left of the screen.
