hurray! since getting my o2 broadband, my download speed has to be displayed as Mb/s instead of Kb/s.

I was getting 1.6Mb/s on a download the other day and everyone who I told about it, either didn’t care or didn’t know just how awesome being able to download at over a meg per second is.

the infidels!

It got me thinking about those other times where I was raving about something cool and the people I’m talking to get that glassed over look in their eyes that means they’re humouring me because I might be able to fix their computer later…:-)

I had 6 computers to fix yesterday, here are some of the things I heard..

1. “it wasn’t like that before”
   if you say so… (thinking…hah! don’t make me laugh, you don’t even know what it is like now, you probably don’t even know what it is in the first place)
2. “OMG it’s showing all my personal data”
   well, yes, you just signed in with a username and password. You’re probably registered on their site
3. “but I’ve got a virus scanner”
   a virus scanner wont protect you if you open that msn file send request from someone you don’t know
4. “it came free with my broadband”
   yes but you still need to scan regularly with up to date definitions
5. “up to date whatinifitions?”
   [sigh]
6. “that other computer has a virus scanner, can I just take it from there and put it on this one?”
   [loooong sigh]
7. “but it’s connected at 100Mb/s, how come it’s so slow?”
   that’s the speed of your network card connection, not your internet speed
8. “oh, but my internet speed is 8meg”
   It’s up to eight meg sure, you’ll probably get around 3/4 of a meg in actual download speed
9. “can I access this router from my home?”
   where do you live?
   “it’s just down the road…”
   [@!??]

He’s smarter than you, he’s got a science degree! This little animated ‘rock’ video must have taken an age to make and the lyrics are genius! Not for the ‘bible-sensitive’….

This is my new album cover! Well, actually it’s a cool thing I saw on a blog while stumble-ing today. It involves visiting sites and using what you get in Photoshop or similar paint program. The game goes like this…
(you may want to middle click these to open them in new tabs)

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
   The first article title on this page will be the name of your band.




2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
   The last four words of the last quote on the page will be the name of your album




3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
   The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.




4. http://www.livejournal.com/random.bml
   Click on the users info link and look for the italic subtitle below the bold blog name. That will be your first hit single.




5. Use a graphics program to put them all together like I did above and share it here..

For completeness, here are all the urls that came up for me..
1 2 3 4

Lets see what you get….

Here’s a couple more that I made (no refreshes allowed, you have to choose whatever comes up (even russian tag lines!) )

Here’s a crappy geek cartoon I made on a napkin while I waited for a meeting…

If you don’t get it then out of the 10 types of people there are, you are the type that doesn’t understand binary. (double geek groan pun!)
