If you develop for the average person, I am afraid you are stuck with Windoze

Good advice @onetrack plus another thing that I do every 6 months or so is to completely wipe the hard disk (I use twin Samsung NVMe's set in RAID0 so it is easy for me to just dump the RAID) to start clean and reinstall Windows and everything else. You will be surprised how much better performance you get from a clean fresh install but remember to backup first as I am sure you are backing up each week anyway...arn't you ?

My kids are always losing their phone but they always have their phone on low vibrate

The wife Corrine decided to wash her car so I said she could do mine for me as well. I went outside to see how she was going and she was in the middle of washing the back of the car when she asked me, "What are the two holes for"...pointing to the exhaust pipes ...doh If you didn't love them you would just throw yonnies at them

He said the Brief was "to create a piece that you feel suits you"

I will tell you a story when I first started at primary school... The teacher noticed that I always painted in black so she was concerned. She spoke to my parents of her concern and together they felt that I should see an Education Dept Psychiatrist as it was felt that I had some very dark issues going on in my brain. After about 4 sessions at the Psychiatrist's clinic they put me in a room with a 2 way mirror. In the corner were a whole lot of paints all in different colours except there was no black paint. Apparently I am told that I lost it and screamed and cried. The plot thickened as they couldn't work it out. They tried again except they included the black paint of which I happily went over, grabbed the black paint and started painting. To cut a long story short and after about 8 sessions they finally worked out what that sinister black paint issue was in my brain... In the classroom I sat the furthest away from the paints so when it was paint time by the time I got to the paints, black was the only one left!!!!!! Fantastic Education Dept Child Psychiatrist at work...I was moved closer to the paints where I happily painted each day in different colours

Ok till he loses more hair ?

My son Lachlan wants to be a graphic design artist when he leaves school and he is extremely good at it, so his teachers say and in fact get Lachlan to do pamphlets etc for the school. However I am a bit worried about him......... Here is a piece of art he has just drawn at school...we asked him what does it represent for you and he replied with "It's meant to be she is hiding away from happiness and her happiness is melting away" [ATTACH]50277._xfImport[/ATTACH] Should I run for the Psychologist????????????????????????

They don't get to be old these days...must be the peas I eat Yeah, have learnt that the unfortunate way

Thanks mate

It was my 60th birthday the other day...I was wondering what the wife had got me as she wanted to borrow the Mondeo Wagon to pick up my birthday present as it wouldn't fit in her Focus even with the seats down. Anyway I soon found out, it was a new garage workbench that is almost 2m long...you may know I went from a ford faimont wagon that is built on the longer Fairlane chassis and I could sleep laid out in the back...the Mondeo is considered a medium size car but I can still sleep in the back laid out and I am exactly 6ft. You have to wonder about utes these days for anything other than pure work horse to carry large high things in as I can fit so much in the back of my Mondeo (it also has a tow bar and its diesel) and I get 5.5 litres per 100 klms and a ute would use twice the fuel [ATTACH]50142._xfImport[/ATTACH]

Is that the P76

I can beat that gripe...For 14 years now living in Melbourne we have had Braemar ducted heating and now wishing we were on the Sunshine Coast even if it is overcast. Every 2 years the Braemar unit breaks down with the main circuit board failing. Now get this, it is always within a few weeks of every 2 years, it is always on a Friday evening leaving us without heat for up to a week as the Braemar service don't work on the weekend and it is always the Friday before a cold snap. Two years ago we got sick of it so we replaced the whole unit with a brand new one...it is 2 weeks short of 2 years and it failed again and again on a Friday and again just before the current cold snap. The only company allowed to fix our unit due to area ownership is a company called Darebin Gas who always come out and say some crap like water had got into the system so they don't have to fix it under warranty and demand payment up front of about $700. If I decide no I want a 2nd opinion I can't get one and I have to pay them $150 call out and they leave the unit in pieces. Well, today I finally got the company that installed the unit to come out and check it and they say the electronics board has failed and there is absolutely no water in it, no marks of any kind of previous moisture so the unit being only 2 years old is under warranty and they will advise Seeley/Braemar. But also get this, the unit comes with a 5 year warranty. However if the unit was 4 years and 50 weeks old and the electronic board fails, the brand new electronics board they put in only has 2 weeks warranty even though when the unit was new the electronics board gets a 5 year warranty. There is something very very wrong with Braemar and Darebin Gas...there is something very very wrong with a unit that fails every 2 years almost to the day, always on a Friday and always right before a cold snap. Figure that one out...do I have a GRIPE?

That's like when I got into a lift in a car park and each button for each floor was also in braille...a car park?????

OH, it is in braille...doh

I don't get it...is that a shark in the mirror or am I missing it

Yes but haven't you heard about the marble jar? If you put a marble in a jar every time you have sex before you get married, then take a marble out for everytime you have sex after you get married...when you die you will still have half a jar of marbles

Th cops came around and dusted for prints so hopefully they will catch them but I have to try and get Caitlin a new Laptop urgently so she can keep going on her uni studies, she has uni all year round and has just started her next 2 subjects so has to start her note taking again and catch up...the funny thing is that if the bastards start her laptop they will see all papers and video lectures on Criminology and Criminal Justice

The scum of the world paid my house a visit yesterday...the wife got home after picking Lachlan up from school and found the front door open. Inside all the draws and boxes had been upended and the place was a mess. Caitlin's laptop with all your Uni work on it was gone, the video camera with all the tapes of the kid's christmas videos gone, The biggest strange thing was that all Corrine's perfumes were gone. All her jewelry was gone including family heirlooms. Lachlan's MS Surface Studio was upended and if you have ever seen a Surface studio you can understand why they probably couldn't remove it...Lachlan wants to be a graphic designer and the Surface Studio is a massive multi tilt drawing screen computer but Corrine's old Samsung tablet that we use to Skype each other every night was gone. The worst thing is that with all our renovations going on (the house changing every week) and that 95% of the time there is always someone home we are not insured and due to rooms being re-plastered and roof work we had to disconnect the alarm system for the time being. Guess what I am doing this weekend while I am back in Melbourne, alarm system and buying a video system as well. Even though our doors have massive pin locks that go up into the wall if someone wants to get in they will...with a crowbar: [ATTACH]49708._xfImport[/ATTACH]

Nev, actually I try my best to conserve fuel with the Mondeo but it is all little driving like side streets, picking up Lachlan from school, going to the shops etc so you must be doing some freeway driving but still 1,100 kms on freeway is a lot to get...I set the cruise at 115 when on the freeway which is real ground speed of 111 and get around 1,000 klms. Which model do you have?

I am having my MD Mondeo Titanium Wagon (2lit Turbo Diesel) serviced today by Courtney and Patterson so they gave me a V8 GT Mustang to drive around in for the day...WOW, you certainly know you are driving a V8 with the sound of the exhaust. It doesn't have all the luxuries of my Mondeo Titanium as they are replacd with all the sports look and feel. As a day car I would stick with the Mondeo but if I was a real rev head and extreme motoring enthusiast then I would without a doubt go for the Mustang. Fuel comparison would be chalk and cheese as with the 2litre Turbo Diesel Mondeo I can get up to 1,000 klms per tank on the highway and around 8litres per 100klm around the city, with the V8 Mustang just driving it back home I was getting around 13 litres per 100klms but I can't help wonder whether that was either normal or just me realising I had a v8 under my foot. The price difference between my Mondeo and the V8 Mustang is around $20k so one would have to really question how much you are paying for the name or dare I say Tradition given all the extras in the Mondeo. If the Mustang had all the same extras as the Mondeo and you were paying extra for the V8 then yes, maybe, it might be worth it just to have a Mustang but I would need to be rich or severely dedicated to get one. Having said that I would really really like to have one...and Corrine would swap her Comfortline Golf for a V8 Mustang without blinking
