Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Not looking forward to tomorrow afternoon at all, as I am taking my wee one to the Orthodontist where he has to get impressions done along with x-rays as he needs to have a bar fitted (whatever that is) for his track brace but his Dad can take him for that appointment me thinks

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Updates for Windows. Why do I always manage to mess up the laptop? This is the third time I have done the upgrade to 8.1 and this is the third time it has mucked the laptop up. Thankfully, I have found a way to disable the message prompting me to upgrade so hopefully it will work. Never upgrading to 8.1 again. NEVER!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Not really a moan, more a lament of where I was this time last year. This time last year, I had done 3 shifts of my work experience which turned into the biggest waste of my life. I met some nice people there, but unfortunately the manager turned out to be someone who tells people what they want to hear but screws them over.
All in all I am pleased I do not work there permanently now. I see someone I used to work with occasionally, and she tells me that morale is really low there. Hopefully this job interview next week with an agency will see me get some work in the run up to Christmas. Temp work for 3 months is not to be sneezed at really.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
The download servers for Unreal Engine 4.
We have an educational subscription at work and I'm just trying to make an install we can copy to multiple machines. They give you a link to a nice, small MSI you can download and (in theory) distribute easily. The MSI installs a launch menu which you use to sign in to their service (fair enough). You also have to use this to download and install the actual engine.
The trouble is, this is a 3 gig download and is currently downloading my machine (which has a connection to the internet that is fast enough that it only takes a couple of minutes to download multi gigabyte files from various sites (e.g. Apple and Microsoft). The site the Unreal Engine launcher downloads from is currently averaging around 20kBPs, and occasionally jumping to anywhere between 0BPs and 1.2MBPs So, about 2 hours after I started the download, it had got to around 10%. Then, to answer a question, I needed to reboot my mac into OSX. No problem, I thought, I'll just resume the download. No such luck. Either the software, or the server, does not support resuming.
Honestly, I'm beginning to wonder if I've been magically transported back the 90s, what with the dial up speed and non resuming downloads.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Hope it arrives tomorrow for you dilli, fingers crossed it does. I think it is quite shocking to be honest with you that they do not send it out 7-10 days before the expiry date as I would imagine it must cause a certain amount of worrying not to have it.

Luckily I'm not due out anywhere 'till the weekend.
They are supposed to let me know when it's done to collect the payment (£10) and then send it to me in time so I don't know what's going on.
But I'll have to see what happens tomorrow.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Well I'm getting really nervous at the moment about tomorrow and the thought of the Colonoscopy, and tbh not looking forward to 5pm and 8pm tonight at all when I have to take the Moviprep.
Also I'm getting quite hungry now although I suspect it's because I know I can't eat what I would like therefore more in the mind rather than true hunger.

You know what they say: 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food.
Just relax.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Thanks heero, I'm trying to stay relaxed honest. Thank goodness I'm allowed boiled sweets and lucozade so it could have been a lot worse.
