And there you have just used 82 characters out of the 140 available to... tweet.

My "side" business is causing me so many head-aches its funny. I mean, when you do personal coding projects you can take short-cuts right?
1) The label printer is installed on a computer on the network, works fine for shipping labels from C#. Until I moved to my "big" dev. machine. Suddenly it refused to take margins and paper size requiring me to "enumerate" through allowed papers sizes. But, every other machine it works fine!
2) The old Win 7 box that I use for "operations" happens to be 32 bit. Well, that means the web cam gets detected differently so I have to scan for the USB id instead of the name
3) Google let's you use their SMTP, unless you are dumb enough to use it from a different machine, then it will programmatically lock you out.
4) xtraReports designer v11 worked fine in 2010 but not in 2013 because of an Odd error that should have never been an error! Forced upgrades
5) My shipping provider EasyPost (awesome, btw, Chris you should get them to do adds here) rejected a valid address in the Address Validation so now I need a manual address correction workflow.
No rant, its fun, just, once again, surprising that no matter how small the project the standard process is really the correct process ... at least I was using source control from the beginning.

BBC iPlayer have put more of their archive on the system and I stumbled across this one this morning:

Fascinating to see how they view the up and coming microprocessor, even more amazing is to get to see a technology program and not get a mention of Microsoft etc. Probably as they were only a couple of years old!
Also shows you how far technology has advanced in the last 35+ years.

Very neat. This ought to be required viewing for anyone learning about computers.

Back in the good old days when microchips were soldered together from discrete components...

Fascinating programme.
I think they say, if I remember from watching the programme, that a chip has 266,000 transistors(back in 1978).
An i7 has in the region of 2 billion transistors.
[edit]
I am out by a factor of about 10 on the 1978 count above(29k not 266k) and slightly over generous on the i7 -Transistor count history[^]

Fascinating to see how much and how fast we have progressed!
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

Still one of the best things on TV.

I see you are again in your literature trip. Have you finished this one yet ?

Not for me you understand, DD was saying he wants to raise the bar on his literature intake.

Ah, interesting, I thought he was already owning a book and would not need another one.

Yes, but he really wanted to know where Spot ran to!

I guess the main character of the first one was Charly, but he was hard to follow in the story.

Of course he needs more books. He's finished colouring in the first one.

I was going to buy a book of Fairy Stories for my daughter from Amazon, but some fella called Dawkins has been putting some really bad reviews up that have put me right off.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

|

You had to bring that Sock Cooker up didn't you!

Well, if you will insist on believing everything you read in the Daily Fail...

It was reported sensibly by Aunty this morning on the Home Service. Pure Wuckfittery on the part of Doofus Dawkins.
|
|
|
|
|
Aunty has since apologised to Dawkins for believing what the Fail said and not checking it themselves.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

"There is a very interesting reason why a prince could not turn into a frog. It is statistically too improbable," Dawkins reportedly said during a talk at a science festival. He has since protested at the way his comments have been portrayed in the media.
It reads to me that he is backtracking of his Shark Jump.
