Post by: Piemonte on Wednesday, May 25, 2005, 14:10:13
........has just asked me why he cant save the powerpoint presentation he was working on to CD.

He's been trying for the last half hour and just put a call in to the IT helpdesk to get them to sort it out.

I've just had to point out to him he dosnt have a CD burner on his PC :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

That has been the highlight of my day :?

Hes a nice bloke for a boss, but I'm surprised he can even turn on his PC at times!

Before I came to uni my assistant manager said the dumbest thing....

We were all trying to print something off of the computer. After spending ages making it look all colourful and gay, it suddely dawned on my manager that the printer only did black and white. My assistant manager found the solution:
"Why don't we print it off and put it in the colour photocopier? That might work"

Genius

Here's my techno contribution for the day, taken from my new favourite website, www.phonescoop.com:

"Hey everybody,
I've built a website/cellphone application to track your workout. If you have a Java-enabled cell phone, and are on a shortlist of providors (fido, bell and rogers, in Canada), you should be able to run the program. The site is called Exercell, and you can find it at www.exercell.com (I should note that is is totally free from my end. you just have to pay for data transfer). You create your workout on the site by entering all your exercises.. you can create routines, then assign exercises to those routines. Then you download the app to your phone (www.exercell.com on a WAP browser), enter the same username/password in the options menu and then Sync.

Please note, this is brand new and I'm the only one who has tested it thus far. I've tested it on a SE Z600 and an Ngage. I've also done a few tests on a Blackberry, but nothing too extensive yet. (I havn't been able to get the wheel clicks to work, so you have to use a different button for selecting menu items).

I really hope people can get some use out of it. I welcome all sugggestions and problem reports. Any of these can be directed to [email protected].

Cheers,
Pete "

.....So there you have it.  Pete's waiting for your responses.  He sounds a pretty crazy guy to me.  Note the way he starts off with "Hey everybody" and how he shortens his name from 'Peter' to 'Pete'.  Pure craziness.  I've sent him the following e-mail (cos I can use e-mail)...

"Hey Pete -
My cat's called Mittens"

He's not replied yet.

I really do love it.  I reckon Pete is the Micky Hazard was God of that site - A pure renegade!

A loose cannon, living by his own rules?  It certainly seems so.

Alright folks, it's Pete the renegade here.  

"Ooh! Shaun Taylor", you lie!  I recieved no such email.  If I did, you'd have had me laughing my a off, and propmted me to reply with "The doctor said I wouldn't have so many nosebleeds if I kept my finger out of there".

Anyways, thanks for the props. My site only has three members right now, and one dude can't get it to work yet.  It's a pure mission to get application to work, but it's sweet once it does.

I'd write more, but there's a Coffee Crisp sitting on my desk that thinks it owns the place.  I've gotta set it straight.

Lates.
P

Ya thats right.  I've shortened my name again.  Bask in my crazyness..  Baaaaask (fist waving).
