Windows XP -> Windows 7 upgrade weekend. Double backups (two different programs) of first PC to be upgraded just to make sure. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
Had another run in with a Sainsbury’s self-service checkout today. If you accidentally touch one of TWO weights is goes nuts. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
There is a weight also in the bagging area. If you happen to touch the second weight (or your bag) it will burp. It thinks you are stealing. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
So I angrily gave up. Left the shopping in the baskets and stormed out. And went to Waitrose. Slightly more expensive, but no frustrations. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
The self-service checkouts are just pain when you have more than a couple of items. Note to self: leave when there are no manned counters. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
Plan: profit in the £200 Pot-Limit Omaha next week at the International. Win enough to play upcoming £500 Pot-Limit Omaha event at the Vic. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
The WSOPE Pot-Limit Omaha is £5000 this year, so way out of reach. Even a satellite would be something like £300-500. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
Chrome is now my default browser (8 extensions). I see no place for Firefox any more, but still use Opera when I need fast browsing. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
Time to test the new Samson USB "Go Mic". Good enough will do for podcasts; I don’t expect it to match my MXL condenser mic. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
http://open.spotify.com/album/5PMJHEPJXIex9k9DsFptts Spotify: Sara Rumar – Stupid Like Me #nowplaying as previously on Acecast [ldnhal]
|
|
|
Samson USB "Go Mic" is good enough. A bit more own noise from internal sound card+Go Mic than external card+MXL condenser. But good enough. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
Not gone back to online poker. Lifestyle change number one. Next: join a gym and get physical (Dawkins knows my screen time should go down) [ldnhal]

Dilbert Daily Strip: 2010-08-28: http://www.dilbert.com/strips/comic/2010-08-28/ Haha, hello Apple? [ldnhal]
|
|
|
I would buy a Dell Streak sized iPhone. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
Used to have switch (SBSettings?) preventing icons move on iPhone (all apps stayed in place, no unwanted wobble). Does anyone know the name? [ldnhal]
|
|
|
Found it. It’s called SpringLocker but not available for 4.0.

Doors closing on the tube. Family arrives. Dad jumps, makes it. Pries door open. Daughter makes it. Mum not, she gets stuck in the door. [ldnhal]

Mum still stuck. One leg wrenched between the doors. She screams in pain. Driver opens doors. Mum free, very red. Pain and embarrassment. [ldnhal]
|
|
|
Mum even redder. Angry, down the floor sitting. She manages to keep herself together. Dad tries to laugh it off.
That’s how men are. [ldnhal] |

Quote by Scott Adams Blog: Comic FAIL/Artist’ Secret

The Artist’s Secret is that all art comes from abnormal brains. So if you create art that satisfies your own tastes, you have created for a market of exactly one abnormal person. If you’re lucky, a handful of other freaks get some joy from your creations too. But it won’t be enough to pay your bills. It’s not a career until you learn to create products that normal people like.
