    What've you learnt today?

    So far I've learnt that z-wave appears to be the 'new' thing that everyone is going to be buying and raving about in the near future.

    I've also learnt that no matter how much cold water you drink, a burnt tongue will always sting for a few hours

    So...

    What have you learnt today?

    That no matter how many times you look over the same logs, used different programs to log info about everything on your computer, crysis will still crash your entire computer, without any valid reason no matter how hard you look.

    Re: What've you learnt today?

    I too learnt what z-wave it, and found it interesting that it uses GFSK, although for a device that needs to be simple, it makes sense.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Re: What've you learnt today?

    I learnt today that customers are pillocks!

    Got one phone up today to complain that we sent him the wrong product, because it wasn't the right thickness. When I asked him what he'd measured it to be he went "oh I don't know, I didn't check, it just doesn't look right". Asked him to check it so I can compare it to stocks and the reference list, and he went to off to get a plastic ruler when our products are measured in hundreths of a mm....

    Gah!!!

    This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!

    I've learnt that little sister's shouldn't count as girls but as monsters.

    Although I sort of already knew that.

    Ive learnt the password of an ex guildie of mine

    He told me, thought his account was glitching (seems like his VRAM is dying, but he apparently thought the cause was his account) Oh well

    I've discovered philosophy... spent 13-15 years learning at school, only to find I know nothing at all (well, not very much stuff of practical use anyway)
