I've spent yet another day explaining the difference between 1ECC PIF summing & 8ECC PIF summing in scans to a bunch of indifferent noobs & that the PIF scans are practically irrelevant to disc quality, but only indicate a discs readability, rather than definitive quality (although burn quality is one of many factors).

And yet again, indifferent noobs still don't care that the 560PI/4PIF levels are for 1x reading, not 4x, 5x, 8x or any other speeds, nor that the forum recommended levels for 4x,5x or 8x set at 280PI/4PIF are only guidelines ....

Damnit! It's so damn frustrating!
I feel like beating my head against a brick wall until it's a bloody stump.

Sorry... can you explain that again... except this time wear a funny hat..

[JayC30]

It's hot and horrible, now I am al sweaty and sticky. Why does everyone assume all people like this weather. I realy want to slap the weather readers across the face with a ton of TNT when they say "And a gloriously hot and sunny day for everyone to enjoy.....". Now I am off to melt away.

Hahahahahaha

It's hot and steamy enough in here as it is (25.5C and rising)

[debro]

Bah .. it's merely lukewarm .. ya big wuss

It might increase the temperature of the ocean so that ya can skinny at Brighton beach ... if that's your idea of a good time

The water around England is so much colder than here, it's scary, and I refuse to swim here due to the cold temperature

[Arachne]

I am a wuss when it comes to hot weather - expect at leat one post a day to this thread til winter sets in, moaning about it

[JayC30]

We're not used to such hot weather debro so we are not built for it. When it strikes some of us start to mealt. I amwith Arachne. 25.5 lordy, and I was hoping the clouds meant a break, but not yet though we had a quick shower that turned just as quickly into vapour.

[debro]

Lol

I don't think anyone is built for 45degree C temperatures ... I damn near faint at temperatures about 35degC.

I get sweaty on a cold chilly winter day I'm always overheating ... must be that peculiar scottish, german & austrian ancestry

/me sweats like a sausage butcher

[JayC30]

I'd hate to see your hair

[debro]

Arrr .. most is neatly parted, with a slight bias to the left ...
At the front though, is a small clump of hair that considers itself a windmill & tends to stick out in all directions

Finally I have something to whine about....First, I didn't take a lunch break at work so that I could leave early, and ended up leaving at my normal time. Second, about 5 minutes after I left work, as I was driving about 80 mph down the interstate, the serpentine belt on my car snapped, leaving me with an overheating car and no power steering. Somehow I managed to get within walking distance of a parts store and parked it, and ended up walking about 2 miles each way in work boots, giving me blisters in the process. This is the worst day I've had in a long time. I could go without another one anytime soon.

Ouch! That is one seriously sucky day

[JayC30]

Well I can't whinge about the weather it's cooled down abit. Instead I'll whinge as I have to put washing out. It's nerve racking when you live on the 10th (11th) floor of a tower black and you aren't very fond of heights.

debro your lucky thanks to my heritage I have three colours in my hair, blonde, brown and ginger it gives me a nice honey colour but I can't have it treated or it turns out a lovely shade of carrot, literally. The only part of me that is totally ginger is my facial hair.

[Arachne]

Talking of washing, I'll whinge because my washing machine door is broken. Long-term whinge that, though...but it'll be fixed soon. Mums having boyfriends can come in handy sometimes

Great that the weather's cooler today, though

My hair hasn't been its natural colour since I was about 10, LOL...although it's growing out naturally at the moment (dark brown).

[james4eva]

Not a whinge about the day, just keeping my fingers crossed that I can get a 'flier' (leave early) from work tomorrow (Thu 15th) and get to the pub in time so as to catch the start of the England game (5pm BST)

Come On Boys !!!!!!!!!

[debro]

Not much of a whinge ... but a good laugh .....

There have been ongoing issues with a lighting control system in a store ..... and I had a chat to the electrician to clear out all the existing logs & the lighting control PC was re-booted on friday the 9th ....

This morning (the 15th June) our Electrician called to tell me that the security guards commented that the lighting didn't come on this morning at the scheduled time.

.... my usual response ... send me the logs ....

I check the logs of the program & the comms server .. the comms server seems to have connection issues from the instant it started ......

So I call up and ask ... has it been working at all since last week? It seems to have communications issues since it was turned on ....

He checks the PC ... oops, forgot to plug the lighting control system back into the lighting communications module ..... problem solved (for now)

I don't know what's worse .. the fact our electrician didn't plug the PC back into the lighting system, or the fact it took 6 days for the security guards to notice it wasn't working...


Hahahahahahaha!

Yours truly, in Wonderland ......

[Arachne]

Well done, Debro - you just cheered up my day ...whinge about to start...

My printer just packed in. Won't feed any paper through - photo paper, bog-standard plain paper, you name it.

Dusted it, blasted it through with compressed air...nada.

I'm not a happy bunny

(One light at the end of the tunnel could be that it *might* still be under warranty...have to dig out the receipt, when I can be bothered).

[debro]

On the bright side, if it's out of warranty .... you can take out your frustration with a baseball bat!


"OFFICE SPACE" FOREVER!

Don't waste time though as they may try the "It's out of warranty..." excuse. You caould try and use the consumer protection act under the reaseonable expectaition clause. It would be easier if you just fin out fast if it is under warrranty. It's amazing how mine "pack in" just before the warranty runs out, thankfully the do send out a new one to replace them.

Now on to whinging. There are some pillocks that realy get on my nerves, and I can't stand hypocrasy (I know I have most probably spelt that wrong, I may be a qualified typist, I am not a dictionary though). I wonder what it would be like to blow up the housing office? Nah sod it where's my stress ball.
