Ok today I decided I’m going to look at the stock market and see if can spin the “economic crisis” in my favour; it occurs to me that the rich stay rich even when the rest of us get poor due to forces beyond our control. They are in the know for sure? they have their fingers in many pies, right? they “buy low” and “sell high”, that’s the phrase! so let’s experiment, I intend to look at “the market” and pick an investment. I have never done this before, so if you have any advice, recommendations shout them out 
Today i decided my laptop needed two new drives, Since i recently upgraded to 4Gb Ram and Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit just dropped through the door i was thinking 2 x 500gb would be nice too.
Arghhh dabs.com is down !!!
Guess it happens to us all sometimes 
ok so you need to create a directory based on the current time and date, a timestamp if you will.
its easy, type this into your cmd window …
mkdir %date:~-4,4%%date:~-7,2%%date:~0,2%-%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%%time:~6,2%
this will give you a directory named like YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
Enjoy.
I keep hearing folk talking about not re-inventing the wheel. It got me wondering what would happen if we didnt, the image below i put together in 5 minutes to see what if…
It kinda looks better than i expected it to, im guessing the traction would be shocking. Cornering would be a nightmare i imagine. How long do you think those wheels would last?
I recently had the pleasure of testing the new Dell DataSafe service specifically the client application, it has a very simple and usable interface. The only issue i could find is that the client assumes all machines are in the good old US of A, after a chat with the development team I was assured an update will be released soon, awesome.I look forward to testing the update and taking advantage of the full service.
I have been working on the same section of a site now for around a week including some long days of around 12-13 hours, i’m sure im not alone here but i swear the problems are getting harder and more confusing. Even more frustrating is the in point of fact they would be simple on their own at any given time, there must be a scientific way to measure this “fatigue” at how it rleates to project/ time/ complexity there must be a driect relationship to the amount of time your working on a specific project to the percieved diffculty and the increased possibility of error. I DUNNO, of course im speculating. right now im not sure this makes any sense. Cya
Some of you may be aware that I have been working on the mydish.co.uk website for quite some time now. In a nutshell I took the vision/concept of the Managing Director and ran with it, a “shoestring budget”, some serious and sometimes seemingly impossible deadlines were all that stood in our way. I know the Managing Director has been working some magic for a while now, I had been getting hints that good things were a foot. This week she announced we secured Significant Investment and are now ready to take this project to the next level, I’m very excited about the future of this site and look forward to playing a role in it’s future development. I’m in and out of meetings in London at the moment “discussing”.
Yes, we did good. The team has worked very hard to get here. Well Done..
