Becoming a Non Smoker 26th April 2016 5:22 PM
Oh man, the difference it makes doing sports.”
 

Oh I know... 

No I'm lying, I have absolutely no idea about playing sport 

I have the sleep/hibernate problem. Can't get it to work without the battery dying. It's an absolute pain. It also doesn't shut down properly most times and I have to press the off button manually. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR”
 

Does seem to be an issue with machines that are upgraded to Windows 10 versus a clean install.

Looks like the moral of the story is don't upgrade 

Blog Script 26th April 2016 8:35 AM

Ok, so won't mention wordpress again 

An alternative is www.joomla.org but suspect you may struggle if probs with WP

Why not something like www.tumblr.com and let them do the hard work for you?

Or Googles www.blogger.com think it's still going?

Hmmm, the leave vote seems to be running away!

The EU...! 25th April 2016 4:48 PM

I'm leaning....

have you seen the comments on the facebook page! I think it's becoming obvious where the popular vote's going 

www.facebook.com/MyLocalServices/

Blimey, it is scarily close!!!!

Maybe need to see if we can get this picked up by the Beeb! Maybe you'll see me on the breakfast couch sounding knowledgeable and interesting

Certainly a disconnect form the message of staying that seems to be coming from the media, versus straw polls like this  

If you haven't voted yet, add your vote here

Subscribe to a forum? 24th April 2016 10:43 PM
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if I 'voluntarily' subscribe to a forum, then doesn't that mean that I WILL receive an email, whenever a new thread is posted?  But you've just put "which should be  relatively straightforward"?  But what I've bolded above (which you wrote), well, the two statements seem to conflict with each other surely?

Unless we are talking about different things here, and don't realise it?

 

Cor blimey, it's getting complicated. Feel a flow chart moment coming on

  • You get a maximum of 1 email a day.
  • That email may contain a single link to a thread that has been updated since the last time you visited it, or it may contain 10 links to 10 threads that have been updated since the last time you visited them.
  • So 1 email telling you about 10 threads, versus 10 individual emails (or 15 or 50 if we became super uber popular, windswept and interesting).

So in that 1 email a day, you could also have notifications of threads you have voluntarily subscribed to (hence the good idea).

Does that make sense? 

But for those bods that just love the instantaneous of email notification after every single new post, then I suppose we could have a bombard me button? 

So don't think I've contradicted myself, and you don't sound rude. But as a fellow IT geek it all makes sense in my head. Whether it makes sense to any one else is a different story 

Happy 90th birthday Ma'am 22nd April 2016 12:09 AM

I'm a complete and total Royalist, beheadings for all Republicans 

Regardless whatever anyone thinks, political persuasion, republican or royalist. She is a living time capsule that has worked, met and interacted with more leaders in the UK and across the world than anyone else on the planet. From Super Power Empire status to near bankruptcy and bit player, Global war to space travel, she has seen and witnessed it all.

Amazing woman, and still going strong. Obviously the German blood 

No probs, was a great idea!

Number cruncher is in the admin panel, we don't display it in case only 2 people take part, hence percentages 

But currently 24 votes (including 4 of us inhouse). Be interesting to see how many in a couple of weeks. Will give the blog a good push tomorrow morning and see how much abuse it generates!

When the polls finished, I'll publish the numbers behind the stats.

Maybe we can get on the news 

Who will be next? 21st April 2016 7:00 PM
