The grumpy thread

[cpjitservices]

Bloody sodding network hardware.

 

Router for some reason has decided not to be a router, but be a bridge...but bridging from its WiFi to the switch for the wired network elsewhere in the house rather than the internet...and only for Windows machines. Android and Linux can see the outside world just fine.

 

No idea why it's decided to do this...nothing has changed, and it shouldn't even be possible to do what it's doing with this router.

 

Factory reset for everything involved I think and then see where we are...

 

I hate networking with a passion these days. At least back in the days when 10Base-T was the norm it usually worked or not...the faults these days are so much more random!

Which router is that? I tend to build my own home/commercial routers these days! PfSense usually. Ubiquiti kit for Wifi and switching.

Yesterday I ordered a kilo of exotic sausage from the interweb.

 

No knock at the door or phone call, but I've just stepped outside to find that I can barely get down my drive for a huge pile of insulated packaging,

all addressed to me.

How much fucking sausage have they sent me?

& how badly did I complete the order form?

 

But no, there's just a kilo of sausage for me but, for some bloke in Brighton there's just over eighty quid's worth of rib of beef and pasties.

 

I phoned the contact number but sadly, 'they are unable to take my call at the moment...'

Unable to take your call eh... thats a shame. 

 

Get the BBQ fired up.

My fridge is full to bursting!

Walking home the other evening from work, Was coming up to a junction when a shitty silver Golf mounted the pavement beside me and stalled... driver with phone in his hand - gave him a 'look' as I walked past. He started up his rattly tin shit again and caught up to my walking revving his engine up next to me so I looks at him as you do, he's brandishing something towards me, whilst moving, and still holding his phone - lighting up his face!!! 

 

I gets ahead of him on foot, then he beeps at me as he drives passed.

 

Tosser of the highest order. 

 

I'll see him again..............

Why isn’t there a ‘euphemisms’ thread?

Piece of garbage Sky SR-102. Which is why it's being relegated to modem duties only once I get the wireless access point set up right.

 

Sadly my current day networking skills are less than stellar...Acorn Econet is more my speed!

[twosmoke300]

For the love of god !

 

For the last few months every single car ive presented for test ( 3-5 a week on average) has come back with war and peace on the failure . Every customer has asked for a detailed quote and every one has said yes. Sounds great doesnt it ! 

 

Im so far behind its untrue and to help matters this week im up til midnight most nights doing my vat return.

 

Fucked right off being self employed tbh. Anyone wanna buy a garage?

[twosmoke300]

Oh and the workshop/ office is a tip and I cant find anything

 

Oh and the landy radius arm mount ripped off the axle this morning -JOY

[madrat]

Mrs Madrat is self employed, its a pain in the arse at times

Cor! Can't remember the last time I was on a Beeb connected to Econet. Think it was 1987

[barefoot]

The meat will be going in the freezer shortly. It's all fresh and I kept it in the fridge in case they rang back to say a courier would be coming to collect it before the day is out.

[Pillock]

My fridge is quite empty, I'll be there in 20 mins

[chaseracer]

There were no labels when I was younger. I was either called thick, disruptive or a menace.

 

Two out of three ain't bad, Bubster...

67,000 questions about display cabinets, all answered

‘Can you meet me tonight’

???

Yes

‘What’s your address’

(Two second delay replying)

???

(LeVes work early, pisses about in traffic)

‘Will they fit in my car?’

I don’t know, as I don’t know what car you have

‘How wide are they?’

About eight inches

‘The same as a shoe’

(Five second delay as I wonder what planet he’s on)

????

‘I can’t get there for at least 50 minutes’

(Tells him I’m not waiting him and block him)

 

 

‘Have you still got the wall mounted cabinets?’

Yes

‘What size are they’

(Tell them size)

‘Are they floor or wall mounted?’

(Wonders if you can kill people by thought process over the Internet)

‘Oh they’re no good to me then’

 

Well in, Einstein, obviously wall cabinets just fucking fit to your chimney breast via osmosis.

 

(Considers bonfire)

[madrat]

My youngest is a cunt.

 

We got him a car, he hardly uses it, we keep it maintained, he hardly uses it, we pay half his insurance, he hardly uses it, now he wants to sell it

 

He's not  getting a penny from selling it.

 

Anyone want a 2000 micra 1.3 Inspiration, Red very good condition.

[fordperv]

It's not just buyers, mrs fp saw a weight bench and weights local with some shit pictures and asked them the question

 

What is the weight of the weights that come with the bench?

 

Any normal person would give the weights, but this clever person replied

 

"The ones in the picture come with it"

 

Safe to say she didn't bother going any further with the conversation

[madrat]

People are just stupid

I've got a Beeb up in the loft.  Loads of software for it too somewhere (probably with my parents).  It has an EcoNet port.

 

Maybe it's time to take this site underground...

Darent ask which 2!

I've got a Beeb too, although no monitor any more (I plugged it in last year to test it and smoke started coming out).  I was gutted because I wanted to play Repton 3, but then I found an emulator online which allowed me to play it on my PC so all was good.

Probably just the filter caps in the power supply. A common issue and easily sorted in the grand scheme of things for a few quid's worth of parts.

 

A BBC Micro of any form are one of those machines which have utterly defied all attempts to add to my collection - likewise a RiscPC (though hopefully that will be sorted come the summer). I've had Acorn gear for decades, and have an A5000 and A7000 which see the light of day pretty regularly. Sadly the Amiga gets the permanent desk spot though.

 

Please don't bin any Acorn/BBC stuff if it's gathering dust - while the Amiga/Atari etc have a more well publicised following there's quite a following for these machines.

 

...If you have anything with an Archimedes badge on too, please check that the RTC clock battery hasn't started leaking...it causes untold damage to the motherboard when it does. Snipping it off the board and fitting a remote battery holder is the answer. Forgetting that killed my first A3000.

[DodgeRover]

The first computer game I saw with decent graphics was the Zarch demo on the schools first Archimedes

[Pillock]

I'm hunting for some cheap Archimedes stuff before the prices go up, loved RiscOS at school. Really want a desktop one but the A30x0 single box are kinda cool too.

[AlabamaShrimp]

I'll have a look in the garage I might have one or two left.

 

If you want to do some digging I had about 10/15 various Acorn/BBC machines in a caravan at my parents but my dad was a twat and literary threw them out into the garden (the house is in the middle of nowhere) I'm sure they're still there under the mud and grass.

 

Lol to qualify as a full grump he did this before he started loosing his marbles, what a wanker, anyway...

People are just stupid

 

Sadly not stupid enough as they still manage to breathe & breed.

I have an acorn and a few games in Mum's loft

Technology!

 

I've been trying to download the custom map off the power commander on my bike as my backup has been lost over the years what with my ex keeping one of my laptops etc.

 

I borrowed a serial-USB converter from work as my PC3 is so old it's a serial connection. This utterly refuses to install on my W7 Pro x64 laptop, which is rather odd as with exactly the same drivers it installs on my W7 Pro x64 work laptop...

 

I find the PSU that's been missing forever for my old XP netbook, thanks to progress* the cable installs instantly on that. Then I manage to find the software I need for the PC3, obviously it's not on the download section of the power commander website but hidden elsewhere that only google can find.

 

Get out to the garage after two hours of swearing & it's pretending the software is the wrong version for the map so I can't copy it off.

 

FFS!!!!!

 

More googling & it seems I need to load a map onto the software before it can read a map off the bike......OK! I manage to find a map online, again power commander don't offer them as it's too old. But no I still get the same error.

 

Fucking technology is a cunty mccuntcunt. I hate IT today.

[Zelandeth]

Yep... trying to get the computer to talk to the ALDL bus on the Lada is similarly frustrating!
