Not sure what's in your fridge? Problem solved!
FridgeCam | The connected kitchen - a new way to start your day Smarter[^]
So ... every time you close the fridge it takes a picture which you can look at on your mobile. So your SO can see that you had a midnight snack and ate his / her yoghurt, or - if your fridge is anything like mine - can't see bugger all because it's full.
And as for the "start your day Smarter" bit ... walk to the kitchen - you were there anyway to make the coffee - open the door. Look. Go "Oh, it's full of food" or "Oh, I need to get milk". And save yourself £150 ...

THOMAS!
So many companies really do appear to be at the point where they haven't got a clue what to make, with this new tech, so they're just jumping on the stupidest ideas that the noisiest (and therefore probably least talented) people in the company come up with.
But if you think this is bad now, wait until there are 150 million poorly-trained AIs floating around -- those lacking in human intelligence will really go to town.

I may not be that good looking, or athletic, or funny, or talented, or smart
I forgot where I was going with this but I do know I love bacon!

I hereby declare that steak, chips, chocolate cake, and everything I like is not food.
You lot can continue to ingest that harmful food rubbish, if you like, but I'm sticking to my list.

signed up for a demo account on xero,
validate email address, ok,
then I get the Welcome email, blah blah, and it has 2 large option buttons at the bottom
- option 1: "Connect your bank"
- option 2: "Buy xero now"
looking deeper in the message there is another link to a "getting started page" (buried in the text)
... and on the Getting Started page the very first suggested option: "Connect your Bank Account"
heloooo xero:
... IT'S A ing DEMO ACCOUNT!!
... plus yes I do see all your "helpful reminders" to buy
You really think I wanna give you my bank account as my very first action ??? IN A DEMO ACCOUNT???
in fact even if bought [not just me, any accountant] linking a bank account is way down the list after: basic testing, setting/examining the COA, customers, suppliers, producing invoices, inputting bills, checking reports ..."
HTF did these guys get successful?

Um thanks (I thought Job would be the easiest one).
I was thinking of concocting some sort of Mini CCC requirements - any thoughts?
|
|

|

Depends what you mean - mini clue, or mini solution? Both?
Spell out what you expect, and set time limits if you want them.
I'd just link to a CCC tutorial site[^] for the clue format itself and concentrate on what makes it different from WSO CCC.
I stuck the rules on my homepage, so they would be easy to find (rather than in the Lounge, where they get paged out too quickly).

Er, unsure what you meant by 'homepage', I just googled 'griff'...
Learn something every day on this BBS...
But yes, what do I mean - probably just a concise clue for a 3-5 letter filler. But perhaps better left without restrictions - 'you know it when you see it' type thing.
Hey, not every ticket's a winner...
