And yet here you are, a demi-god. It's amazing what access to the ban button can do for your personal standing on a forum.

Speaking of people with computer probs, I had a laugh the other day. Someone posted a link to a youtube vid in the comments section of a blog. This guy was moaning about the CPU [Phenom] or motherboard [I forget his exact beef now], but the point is that he had an external temperature gizmo hooked up to measure CPU temps, & from the vid you could see it was crapping out at 68C [it was in F, but I converted it], but he was blaming it on the mobo or CPU, when if he'd bothered to check he'd have known that Phenoms need to be kept below 64C [61C for the 9950, IIRC].

So who is organising the CF reunion party? (When CF comes back)

More importantly who is getting the blame for breaking it and what's their punishment, I vote for death by firing squad

Just let Coggy box their ears. She takes a week off and we go to pot.

Admiral Security. Good grief. Turned up for work a bit late - about 5 minutes. Got over the hill and saw the guys milling about in the car park. No sign of the guard to open up, and the building was still secure. Oddly, the secure gates to the car park were open. One of the guys had phoned security who were "getting back to him". We gave it a bit, and phoned again - "On his way from Harewood". And sure enough, about 10 minutes later he appeared. Not one of the usual guys though. "Never opened this building before", he says. "It is open but I only opened that door <points at reception door>". I explain that the door can only be opened from the inside, unless you are a security guard with a key

So off he goes to open our doors - the ones with fob access that all staff use. Five minutes later, he comes out one of the fire exits, declaring the door open. Yes - but that's a fire exit. Have another go. There aren't that many doors

Finally he gets the right doors, and in we troop. Sat at my desk and I could hear this alarm - sounded like the door alarm, when it has been left open. Heads out to check and sure enough - doors wide open. This is a building with circa several-hundred-thousand-pounds worth of IT equipment and stock

Beggars belief. Utterly hopeless.

**Mick** · 24-08-2008, 16:07

Not the same IT equipment which houses our CF database by any chance?

Just thought I'd ask ....

dilligaf1701 · 24-08-2008, 16:11

Mybe we just need to change the gerbils in the generator room?

**Graham M** · 24-08-2008, 16:17

Or maybe Bert and Ernie (the Gerbils obv.) have gone on strike?

Oompa Loompas, Dilli, Oompa Loompas. They will most likely be on strike.
