Shotgun LAN

I would like to point out that the job market at the moment is an utter bitch. Myself, and all my friends who applied to Accenture have been rejected. We're talking Imperial College computing grads here, and they're turning EVERYONE down. Seems the industry's totally fucked at the moment - Accenture...

BIOS update, that is what f00ked his mobo in the first place. True, but I'd like to point out that noone should ever flash their BIOS at a LAN party. Especially when there are still people arriving and power problems (like your plug being pulled out) are likely. Tsk. He could try finding the bast w...

Basically it means Windows has marked 'em as buggered, and not to use them in future. Shouldn't be a problem, but keep an eye on the number of them.
If it gets much worse, start doing regular backups (as you should be anyway). I do them every week, religiously, honest guv.

That's it. And yes, I am desperately trying to avoid doing work. Blergh :) No shit. And yes, so am I, so here goes...

Shotgun LAN 15 is on. I repeat: SG15 is on!

The venue's looking good - there's only one puddle in the car park now!
See you all this evening!

what do we do in the case of a flash flood? serious question. In the extremely unlikely event of a flash flood, there's a second floor to the building. We'll shift everything up there, and assess from there onwards. It won't be a problem though - as I say, we won't run the event if water is likely ...

As you may well be aware, our next event begins tomorrow evening at 9pm. Those who are attending the event, please pay close attention :) First, let me state that we are planning to go ahead with the event. Like many areas of southern England, the venue has been undergoing some flood-related trouble...

Iraq they can take. But North Korea's gonna be a hard slog - they've got some bloody serious hardware in there. Especially as they and the South Koreans have been eyeing each other over the border for decades...

Some of you may remember that we changed forum software for a variety of reasons, including that the old software had become a security risk. The old forums were hacked at least twice, and because it was such shitty software, the passwords were stored in plaintext in the database software. This mean...

Jasba, please do bring your microwave - this means Pete doesn't have to fill car space with it.

A word of guidance on this - submitting an "amusing quote" consisting entirely of your own particular brand of drool generally is not a good idea. If someone else found it amusing, they may have submitted it. Submitting your own quote is kinda like laughing at your own joke when everyone e...
