Rebuild on the database at 03.00 - I moved a lot of 'personal' zone
files then didn't put them back in the database after last week...

oops...

The cron job did update them at 11.00 though.

Not at all. I got the idea from that telly prog (yes, I don't watch
much telly) with that Alan Sugar from Amstrad. It's a right hoot. He
gets some "highly experienced" punters to apply for a job, then fecks
them around for a month or so, getting them to do all these silly
tasks to see if they're on the ball.

Rawlings isn't a bull****ter and won't **** my money up the wall, so
is currnetly head-to-head with Kylie for my next job vacancy...

That's if she doesn't pop her clogs first.. Mind you if I'm competing
with Kylie, I'd hate to think what the job is!

BTW what is this thing you call tee vee? Well at least you know why I
post so much drivel in here ;-) I'm now expecting you all to have a
whip-round and get my aerial fixed, it broke in early January.

I kind of picture you as a Size 10 - pushing 12 after a night out...

I make no secret of the fact that, were it not for Charlotte, there
would be a void of tee vee apparatus at Poggle Wood. I like the
wireless y'know, or 'radio' as the young folk call it. Mind, the
telly does have a few gems, anything with David Attenborough in,
that's about it, sadly, and for the cost of the TV Tax - it'd be
cheaper to go buy the BBC DVDs anyway...

I think Ms. Minogue is circling the drain a little faster than most of
us however.

What with all the chips I'm alleged to eat, perhaps you should double
that!

Try the podcasts from the Beeb and ABC (Australian equivalent), some
good programmes. I recommend "Late Night Live" on ABC with Phillip
Adams, and "All in the Mind" also on ABC.

I download the interesting stuff from various torrent sites, one of
the reasons I'm sat in front of computers for so long, they're my
work, my radio, my tv etc.. At least there's no computers in the
garage yet, car days are a refreshing change.

Oh, I wouldn't put any money om that. Few years ago they (who know
all) gave me less than six months. Secret is to go private. If you
can't pay the bill, they'll give you another six months*.

(I love Capitalism!)

Tisn't about the amount of time you have left, mind, but what you do
with it IMO - especially if you're doing it with Kylie...

I've got Juice sucking most of the R4 podcasts (Eddie Mair is going to
get a right good kicking if we ever meet) and I also sub to a few
'wierd' casts from what seem like kids getting high on bananaskins
playing tapes they've made whilst so infuenced (mind, re-installed
juice a few days ago and didn't backup those URLs).

I was thinking about setting up my own podcast, actually. Thoughts
from the beyond of beyond - with cake and choklit (snappy theme doncha
think?)




(*somewhat sick 'in' joke for those who've been trough it!)

Nasty, even if it turns out to be a false alarm, can't have been nice.

A dodgy ticker could easily cause problems there ;-)

Mmmmm.. cake....

Best thing to do is not buy it, I bought two a month ago, intending to
make them last a week. Scoffed them both within 4 hours.

I think I get about 30 or so podcasts, some daily, most weekly or
less, my 60gig ipod is packed with music, not listened to it in
months, too busy catching up with podcasts ;-)

Botar's old time radio is another fave, old Sherlock Holmes, Green
Hornet, Boston Blackie etc stories.

Cake, choccy, sheds and landies, can't lose with that combo! An
off-roading video podcast might work, if I had a decent video camera
I might do an off-roading and lane clearance videocast, knowing me I'd
do two episodes and get bored of it...

Having followed this, and the last, series, all I can say is I'm
very glad I'm not an Amstrad shareholder! I know it's really just
a TV programme, but where on earth did they get the candidates from!!

I'd consider the girl that's still in it for a sales job, but the
rest of them...... no wonder Sugar looks so miserable - it just
reinforces my feeling that good leaders/managers are born, not
created.

Still, this weeks episode looks fun - Ego's 'r' Us arguing with the
potential boss....
