The van only has a bottom-of-the-line AM/FM radio with no bells and whistles, not even a cassette player. On this model, an input jack wasn't an afterthought, it wasn't even considered! :D

by shellbot

hmm..
all i see is you finding problems..not solutions here Nick :D

get with it..

*Bawitdaba da bang a dang diggy diggy diggy*

by nicknielsen

I do have a DC/AC inverter in the van. That's enough to run a small boom box...or a good set of PC speakers!

by nicknielsen

About 68 degrees (20C) here, pleasant breeze, and sunny skies.

Got coffee, got a book, spending time on the porch with the puppies be back later ((hugs)).

not raining here, but cool and grey..
oh hang on..i think i see a wee small patch of brightness..i best go investigate

by jck

I can't see outside. I'm in my dungeon of an office that I wish I could lock the door to. lol

((((((((((((((((((( just tired of it all hugs )))))))))))))))))))

by jck

HR called and needed two reports.

One required some real query building.

But, issue solved: 2 hours.

Now back to learning web programming more and fixing another HR system issue that supposedly exists lol

by hal 9000

Just a bright sunny day that is lovely to sit outside and drink in the sun.

I of course have a HDD that I need to recover so I'll be locked in my dungeon and not allowed outside. :(

Just another East Coast Day. ;)

by shellbot

Your workin on stuff for HR as well??

I gotta display some new fields to our intranet for HR..this on tha back of them asking to create/ add these field only 2 months ago..to be locked down so only HR could see them. So, on the back of that, did it a particular way...now they;ve decided evreyone can see them..negates all the work i already did..and now its going to be twice as hard to display the dang info to everyone..
ggrrrrr..xml & xsl...is there any bigger freaking nightmare??

(((scowly hugs)))

by jck

a) I hate xml. it's like "I need a language that will let me define another language...and define the data it will hold too."

b) Yeah, I maintain the HR, inventory, and budget applications for a government that serves over 100,000 people.

c) I am always getting changes in requests, or requests so vague I have to guess because getting an answer sometimes takes 2 days.

((((((((((((((( ready to go home NOW hugs )))))))))))))))

by nicknielsen

~/* Going to the Beach tomorrow ~/* and only one ca-all! ~/*

I certainly hope tomorrow is as quiet as today was. Seven calls yesterday, only four today, only one (so far) tomorrow.

I can only hope. (((Hugs))) for that idea as well.

by jck

and I just finished my first cup of coffee.

(((((((((((((((((((((( need for more coffee hugs )))))))))))))))))))))))))) :^0

OH and Nick I only had 1 job today I started at 06.30 and have just finished now at 01.05 the next day. Granted it was a Dara Recovery Job that should have been easy till the owner told me that they had reformatted and then reloaded the OS. :(

Got to love some people. I don't think so. :-&

Col 0:-)

by jck

Been there, done that...too many times that I don't wanna think about it.

I hope you're gettin paid by the hour. :)

by nicknielsen

Much easier to deal with. If the hardware works, but nothing else does, it's a software problem and I can pass it off to somebody else (like you!) to deal with it.

Although in this case, I think I would have taken the drive(s) with me and done the work on my own time. If they don't care enough about their data to not eff with the machine after the crash, it's no longer a priority for me... :)

by jck

Wish I was home.

Got another hour and 15 to go. :(

Hm. I have to check my mail.

by shellbot

i'm home, but have horrible headache..
all the xsl killed me...had to go through thousands of lines to find what i needed to find..still not sure if the right bit..but will see tomorrow..
:(

by shellbot

((((((((((hugs))))))))))

headache has reached optimal pain giving level..only thing to do is go to bed..

night y'all

by nicknielsen

Got [_]3, got the paper, got the camp chair, got my feet up on the bumper of the van. B-)

I'll be driving in the rain later today, but for now I'm going to enjoy myself.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( get well hugs ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

by shellbot

thanks..
feelin about the same..
still at the code..its driving me crazy..wanted to bash my keyboard through the monitor this morning... X-(
I just don't do enough work with this stuff to completly understand it.. man..if i could evven get it to throw an error ..but nope..
:_|

by jck

it's a pain. i know.

they are trying to get me fully into web development here, but in a real-time system you can't depend on web for that. webserver = middle man = slowdown.

a client app talking straight to the data (whether the table or a SP) is always gonna be faster.

bah. i should take today off. i feel like crap too.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( hope you get it figured out and feel better hugs ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

by gadgetgirl

Caught 'em! :p

Ooodles of hugs for all to share.

It has so been a week. I'm afraid to answer my phone anymore. I'm running out of good servers for people to report issues with.

by nicknielsen

If it gets too bad, tell them what I tell my users: "Hey, if you don't use it, it won't break!" :D
