An oft complained about song by my friend from school comes to mind today.
I doubt he would argue with this case though.
My bosses came to me with a new contract this week, more money and more hours. So kinda wheel and woe right? Well they added the caveat that they wanted my memory to improve… no mean feat in my terms. In fact they went on and on about it almost as though they knew their purchase on this as a complaint was shaky at best.
Then the irony. Today I handed my cup to one of them asking for a cup of tea as he went to get himself a drink (he did offer, just in case you’re wondering). He returned some 5 minutes later with nothing chastising himself for forgetting and taking my snide remarks in his stride. He left and returned again 10 minutes later with, in his hands, his bottle of squash and my cup… of coffee…
Lesson 1 never be a smartass as there’s always going to be a bigger fish and you might just end up falling over it and looking like a real idiot.

No matter what anyone tells you… aside from me of course as I know more than all of them and their respective mothers put together of course… your registry is the lifeblood of your computer.
If your computer slows down, penny to a pinch of snuff that your registry is at least partially to blame. Computer keeps crashing? Could be a fragmented registry.

I started out writing about roleplay games for those who already played but the more I think about it the more I’m of the thinking that I should include those new to the game as without them the hobby dies off and writing for the community of roleplayers possibly means a lot of deaf ears as I’d estimate that many have already thought what I’m thinking and have written what I have.
Anyhow to aid those unfamiliar with the concept I offer… the wikipedia.

A fabulous subject for raising with the competitive. Debate, long used to determine who has the better argument, who’s in the stronger position… however isn’t it all just meaningless hocus pocus which could just as easily be replaced by the pudgel stick system from the TV series Gladiators.
In a debate there are manoeuvres and tactics designed to lead your opponent down a certain path so you can verbally and mentally ambush them later with your killer come back. There’s winners and losers and people deciding this fate sitting as impartial judges on the process. But isn’t this a logical process? Aren’t the great debaters seen as having sharp minds and an excellent grasp of logic?
A bunch of hooey… and I’m only being polite because this is public.
