Monday, September 17, 2007, 2:43:06 AM- GIRLFRIEND 1.0 | ||||||
GIRLFRIEND 1.0 Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend 3.1 to GirlFriendPlus1.(marketing name: Fiancee 1.0). Recently he upgraded Fiancee 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and it's a memory hogger, it has taken all his space; and Wife 1.0 must be running before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it, Wife 1.0 came with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and BrotherInLaw. Some features I'd like to see in the Upcoming GirlFriend 4.0... - A "Don't remind me again" button - Minimize button - Shutdown feature - An install shield feature so that Girlfriend 4.0 can be completely uninstalled if so desired (so you don't lose cache and other objects) - "Abort" button - A Remote control for the these features would be a nice upgrade I tried running GirlFriend 2.0 with GirlFriend 1.0 still installed, but they tried using the same i/o port and conflicted. Then I tried to uninstall GirlFriend 1.0 but it didn't have an uninstall program. I tried to uninstall it by hand, but it put files in my system directory. Another problem with all versions of GirlFriend that I've used is that it is totally object oriented and only supports hardware with gold plated contacts. ***** BUG WARNING ***** Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install,claiming insufficient resources. | ||||||

Sunday, September 16, 2007, 1:35:15 AM- short quiz | ||||||
The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a "professional." ANSWERS are given at the end. The questions are NOT that difficult. 1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? 2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator? 3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend? 4. There is a river you must cross. But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you manage it? ANSWERS 1 The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator put in the giraffe and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way. 2. Open the refrigerator put in the elephant and close the refrigerator. Wrong Answer! Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through previous actions. 3. Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. This tests your memory. OK, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly,you still have one more chance to show your true ability. 4. Correct Answer: You swim across. All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Conference. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes. According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old. | ||||||

Saturday, September 15, 2007, 1:33:11 PM- Why I Fired My Secretary | ||||||
Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, "Happy Birthday!", and possibly have a small present for me As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone "Happy Birthday." I thought... Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids.... They will remember. My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word. So when I left for the office,=20 I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent. As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, "Good Morning Boss, and by the way Happy Birthday! " It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered. I worked until one o'clock, when Jane knocked on my door and said, "You know, It's such a beautiful day outside, and it is your Birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me." I said, "Thanks, Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go!" We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go. She chose instead a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously. On the way back to the office, Jane said, "You know, It's such a beautiful day... We don't need to go straight back to the office, Do We ?" I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in mind?" She said, "Let's drop by my apartment, it's just around the corner." After arriving at her apartment, Jane turned to me and said, " Boss, if you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I'll be right back." "Ok," I nervously replied. She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake . Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing "Happy Birthday. And I just sat there... On the couch... Naked. | ||||||

Friday, September 14, 2007, 10:04:08 PM- THE NEXT TIME YOU GET PULLED OVER. | ||||||
THE NEXT TIME YOU GET PULLED OVER. The person in question, a woman in a Porsche, as it happens, was pulled over for speeding by a California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer. When he walked up to her window and opened his ticket book she said, "I bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the Highway Patrolman's Ball." He replied, "No, Highway Patrolmen don't have Balls." There followed a moment of silence while she smiled and he realized what he'd said. He then closed his book, got back on his motorcycle and left. | ||||||

Friday, September 14, 2007, 10:00:30 PM- Speed Camera Revenge | ||
Speed Camera Revenge Who said there isn't anything to do in Canberra..... Some weeks ago a speed camera van in Canberra was approached by 4 youths. Whilst the camera operator was talking to three boys about the van's equipment and how it works, the fourth boy proceeded to undo the van's front number plate. They then said good-bye to the operator, Went home and fixed the number plate to their car and proceeded to drive considerably over the speed limit 17 times through the speed camera radar. Needless to say, there was considerable embarrassment by Urban services when the computer posted their own speeding fines to the department. | ||

Friday, September 14, 2007, 9:58:52 PM- Picture of humility | ||
Picture of humility This is allegedly a true story, told by the driver at his first AA meeting, according to the newspaper account. A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40, and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police department that contained another picture - of handcuffs. | ||

Friday, September 14, 2007, 9:56:36 PM- The Motorists Revenge | ||
The Motorists Revenge Apparently two members of the police force were out on the Berwickshire moors recently with a radar gun, happily idling their lives away apprehending alleged speeding motorists when their equipment suddenly locked-up with an unanticipated digital readout of 300 miles per hour! Seconds later a low flying Harrier jump jet hurtled over their heads. The police lodged a complaint with the RAF over the damage to their radar gun. The RAF pointed out that the damage may have been much more severe as the Harrier's target-seeker had locked on to the 'enemy' radar and triggered an automatic retaliatory air-to-surface missile attack. | ||
