What strange weather for the time of year….

Simply go to format cells -> Custom and then enter 00-00-00 as the format.   this has the added bonus of preserving the leading number if it is a zero.

Have fun

This little hound is a lovely animal but does not seem to respond to my friend’s commands, I have deduced from this that it is not that it is because it is a puppy but due to it’s former location (London) and therefore it is obvious that he doesn’t understand people in Worcestershire and must only speak Cockney rhyming slang…

I have started on a translation guide for him, and when complete will be printed out and posted in the pub at dog level to assist canine communication.

Windows and doors , paws
Apostle’s creed , lead
Elbows and toes, nose
Having a beg, cocking a leg
Daily mail, wagging my tail
Parking , barking
Give me a phone, throw me a bone
Having a yap, one requires a scoop and bag
Strike a match, catch

This is a work in progress…

Time for a beer….

You will need to reboot after inserting SIM card.

In the mobile settings you will need to create a new Apn entry.  You will be able to get this from your providers website.

Important : the name on the entry will need to match the providers name for it to work.

If airports want to be taken seriously as transport conduits and not “retail experience centres” they need to stop shit like the following.  I am currently sitting looking at a departure board and the status comments for all non-boarding flights is listed as “Relax and Shop”.  It does very little for your credibility when you are trying to pretend that you are not just focussed on extracting cash from a captive audience.

We start of with a recipe for fantastic cake :

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/12983/catherine-marshalls-parsnip-and-maple-syrup-cake

We then see how given this recipe or source different distros would approach cooking it based on past experiences. Please note this is humour and don’t start getting pedantic

Ubuntu

Cooking is reasonably successful, not very fast but was reasonably friendly, used brand name ingredients, the icing sugar came out a bit odd but tasted alright so you can’t be arsed to fix it.

Debian

Getting the ingredients together took a tad longer, couln’t use the recipe as provided as the BBC trademark did not fit with the rules, consequently cake is now called IcedParsnip Cake but apart from that the recipe went well, shame some of the ingredients were a little stale. Also mixed spice cannot be used as it is a closed ingredient provided by a third party company that refuses to reveal the exact recipe.

RedHat/CentOS

Cake was baked with tried and tested ingredients some however were a couple of years old. Cake, although of professional quality was rock hard and stable. Better for construction use than eating. RedHat cake comes with support tag, CentOS version identical but now called CommunityEnterpriseCake.

Fedora

Uses the freshest ingredients but halfway through the baking stabs you in the face with a circular dependency on pecans.rpm.

Gentoo

All ingredients have to be grown from scratch (yes you could use packages but then you could not do compiler fu), recipe is eventually very quick but by the time you have grown everything and baked the cake everyone else has eaten theirs (also then you find out it has raisins in it as you messed up a USE flag when you were fiddling with stuff waiting for your pecan tree).
