Same thing as yesterday! For some reason a certain model of printer (of which we have 12 on our network) has decided to automatically pause every thing that is sent to it!. Pissing me off, and nobody on the whole wide internet seems to have any idea why
PS: Don't some smart alec say 'unpause printer' or I'll whallop ya!
What pissed you off today

ooo, good idea! Never thought of that
Actually we fixed it, by rebooting the server. Thankfully we had to do that anyway to upgrade CMIS. We can't usually reboot it cause of the external connections.
The printer problem just happened to be fixed once it had rebooted!

I spent a few minutes wiggling the magnets around the 'stain' to try and get the right colours back, then my girlfriend suggested switching it on and off again... and it worked
Typical.
Older monitors should have the de-gauss button somewhere on it...

A few years back, they reviewed Mother Earth and gave it one K or some other dreadful rating, with comments along the lines of it being folky rubbish with an annoying singer; then, post-Evanescence, they reviewed the same album again and gave it four or five Ks. I seem to remember it was even the same reviewer, though I can't guarantee it.
Kerrang is a joke, and not a good one.
I think I have scans of those reviews somewhere

I can't access my monitor functions because of a Dark Tranquility sticker that I slapped over them quite some years ago now
It's firmly in place. I could sort of guess what all the buttons did... but I don't want to bother. Shame because I used to like degaussing. There was nothing like a good degauss after your monitor had been on for hours, it was like a monitorgasm.

I'm sat here in the office (yes working again) eating a turkey and cranberry sandwich and it occurred to me that I had not yet ranted about the state of british sandwich making ... particularly by the 'chain' sandwich shows here in the UK such as 'Pret a Manger' (in particular) and less so, places such as 'Eat'.
When composing a sandwich I have always considered that the order in which the components are added is critical to the taste and enjoyment derived from eating the thing. No so for places such as 'Pret' and 'Eat' where I increasingly find
a) a huge layer of 'rocket' or some other such 'fashionable' vegetable leaf material added to 'bulk' up the volume of said sandwich without adding to the taste (usually detracting from it in fact)
b) substances such as cranberry, mustard, mayonaise etc separated from the foodstuff that they are intended to enhance by ... you guessed it ... 'rocket'
As a result I find that, having spent something like 6 quid or more on Sandwwich + capucchino + something else for my lunch from one of these sandwich places during the 15 minutes I get for lunch these days I return to my desk and find that I have to
a) dis-assemble said expensive 'hand-made freshly in the store this morning' sandwich
and
b) re-assemble it so that it is edible (usually discarding half of the rocket in the process).
WTF!
Rocket should not be separating cranberry from turkey! The layers should be bread, (preferably butter, though this is usually discarded for spurious reasons of 'healthy living'), cranberry, then turkey, then optional salad filling, then bread again.
Am I alone on this? Please tell me I'm not!

I try and avoid them if I can.There's a sandwich shop in Nottingham called Feedback that I go in if I'm there on a weekday,they make the thing up in front of you,using exactly what ingredients you want,on whatever bread/roll/bap you want.
Having said that,I walked up town to the bookies this morning and had a hot beef cob with bacon on the top.Lovely.(for those of you ignorant of the Notts vernacular,a cob is a bread roll,a bap or a barmcake for our northern friends)

Speaking of snadwiches I was in High Wycombe earlier and they have the best baguette place ever so since I hardly go into the town anymore, and I had just had a pint on an empty stomach thought 'mmmm lets get a baguette', I went to get one and the place was closed!! Do people stop eating at 4??? meh.
Also I bought an eyeliner for £2.99 which I put in my bag, and now I came home, emptied my bag and its gone
oh and I'm trying to buy a new top, I was gonna go into London but the tube station was closed and by the time I would have gotten to the next nearest it would have been getting late, so I went to wycombe and they had fuck all so I'll have to go into london tomorrow or just give up.
Everywheres shit for shopping down here, I want Leeds, even manchester would do
