    Herve's Bar & Grill

    Working this weekend :( But then off up north Sunday evening for my new lady's birthday, and a whole week off, courtesy of the Queen's Jubilee (which gives us a 2-day Bank Holiday) and the overtime I've worked this week!! So you'll have to serve yourselves for a week or so guys. I'm sure...

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    Yeah, the balcony... If you look back a few hundred posts, there was a conversation about post whores. Someone (think it may have been me - sorry) suggested that we install a balcony and card tables and get a real Old West whorehouse feel going to the B&G. Tom WillB even dragged himself up as...

    The Duct Tape Thread!

    Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and holds the Universe together. I can't take credit for that myself, unfortunately. In fact, prety much any old-skool Mac owner who used to use 'After Dark' as a screen saver may have seen that on the 'quotes' option...

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    : tismey slaps BB because everyone else has done, and he feels left out, and as bartender (and assistant manager don't forget folks!) he feels if ANYONE is gonna be doing slapping on his watch, then it should be him. He also slaps Admiral because he's looking a little sleepy :

    Your Top 10 CD's

    If we're talking all-time favourites then it would have to go like this. 1. ‘Gentlemen’ - The Afghan Whigs - An album that has lasted through five relationships and their subsequent breakups. More like a best friend than a record. It was also due to this record that I met my current lady. 2...

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    The way Steve Martin used to say it was more like "Well, EXCUUUUUUUUSE MEEE!!", I think you'll find Ed. Crikey, away for a weekend and the B&G suddenly gets busy. Hope you managed to keep yourselves lubricated... Shame I wasn't here for the shrimp though, as my tempura is legendary. Drinks...

    No, I love my job. But once you're out of education you have all that real-world shizit to deal with. Like taxes, for example.

    What's Your Profession?

    I'm a general techie for the compilers of the UK music and video charts. We use Oracle to compile the charts and serve our online database, and of late I've taken on more projects which are more 'proper' PL-SQL development than simple mods and maintenance. And if you're intested, I have a BA...

    Nah, mate. Once you leave Education, that's when the freedom STOPS.

    Stupid Laws, Court Cases, and Suits

    there are a couple of daft ones in the UK: It is illegal to urinate in the street unless it is against the nearside rear wheel of a vehicle (think it's that side - I might have got that wrong though). Pregnant women have the right to use a policeman's helmet if needing the toilet really...

    What carrying case u use for iPod?

    I know that I'm fairly evangelical about them, but Waterfield designs are great. I have their SooperDooper iPod case, and it's excellent.

    Case for iBook

    Waterfield designs make lots of really good cases that vary in price and design. They're really good-looking, solidly made and they rae the single best company I have ever bought anything off ever. My order arrived in less than a week from the States, which is faster than a lot of stuff I've...

    do we really need post counts?

    no, mate - not at all. Meaningless is fine. In fact, Herve's is named after the king of the meaningless post. Meaninglessness makes the world go around. The problem is posting simply to get a bigger number under your name, or posting about the number of posts.

    OS X --> Windows LAN

    You can also use the built-in SMB sharing, although with this you can only see the PC from the Mac, not the other way round. To see the Mac from the PC, you'll need Samba. THIS THREAD should be some help, and I'm sure there are others like it knocking about. Try searching for SMB or Samba....

    do we really need post counts?

    I voted irrelevant, but there is a definite upside to seeing how many times people have posted, and that's in the case of the occasional troll we get. When someone starts posting random rubbish, or flaming, and they've only got 6 posts it's a lot easier to ignore them...
