Actually, I take back what I said. I'm going to fucking punch this computer. And then I'm going to cry.

Not being able to cut and paste, especially if you have only had this problem for the last week or so, may well mean that your computer has been infected with the MSBlast worm. This exploits a security hole in Windows, but it is not perfect, and reveals its presence by e.g. the cut and paste thing. Update your virus scanner if you have one (and if not, there's a thread around here with lots of free suggestions) and scan your computer. Microsoft have a security patch up - download and install it - it won't do any harm and could well do some good.

Good luck; hopefully this will be the problem, since it's a reasonably easy fix.

Thanks, Haus - my dad managed to sort it out in the end. I haven't asked for details yet, so I dunno what the problem was.

Twattish ex-indie fans (usually in their early 30's) who use 'Pop' as a stick to beat you round the head with.

To wit; 'Oh you don't like Christina Aguilera, you can't like POP MUSIC then'...

Mildly annoying:

People who indulge in binge eating, and, in order to make themselves feel better about it, insist that you join them. I don't like it for a variety of reasons:

1) Don't they realise how transparent the whole thing is? Don't they feel embarassed?

2) It's very hard to refuse all that cake when someone's dumping all they transferred guilt onto you. I always worry that saying "No, I don't want yr cake." translates into "Look at you! What yr doing's a bit gross, isn't it?" And I don't want to make anyone feel bad.

3) 3 sickly bakewell tarts do not a nice tummy make.

4) Why the fuck do I know so many people who do this?

06:23 / 23.08.03

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhh. Hate Amtr4k, with a vengeance. Bought a new PC, finally, getting delivered Friday sometime, great for setting up over the long weekend. Get someone to be home from 8am,as I had to be out. When I get back at 12, there's a "we missed you, call us" missive from Amtr4K, so I call them and ask them to come back, as someone was home all the time. They refuse; I can come and collect it Friday between 6 and 8pm, or get it Tuesday. That's it. When I talk to my "friend", turns out she was too frightened to open the door, because I live in such a dodgy area. aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgh.

So I run around all day, and get to the collection place in deepest Acton at 6.30pm, having taken an hour and a half because I got lost and road carnival preparations kinda got in the way. They get out my PC, I see it through the other side of the bars. Can they have my two forms of official ID please? What are you talking about, I say, you just said come and collect it. Can't release it without a passport and drivers licence or utility bill. No, they can't deliver Saturday without written authority from the sender. I can get it delivered Tuesday, if I want.

I AM SO FUCKING ANGRY. I hate the helplessness of the twentyfirst century, and the power these guys have over me, and the complete waste of my fucking time when I've finally got some work to do. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Rage.

Couriers and computers also. My new laptop is shiny and lovely, and I have set up a new media centre for listening to music, watching TV and working from my bed using it. However, I have to send it back, having received wildly contradictory advice about whether they could pick it up from my office, to get 256MB of RAM that they *forgot* to put into it installed.

Meanwhile, I also ordered a spare battery for long hauls. This was not available for delivery with the laptop, so the guiy suggested I let the couriers try to deliver it and then pick it up form the depot. They airily commented that the courier co. had loads of depots and thus that there was bound to be one nearby.

I live in Lewisham. The depot is in West Ham.

So, I trogged up there yesterday, picked it up and headed back, and on unwrapping the battery this morning found that they had forgotten to stick on the bit of plastic that seals the battery slot against the elements and allows you to remove the frigging thing without having a friend hold the battery locker. So, I now need to contact them to make them aware of this, and suggest that I include it in the stuff I am sending back on Tuesday. Except, of course, that the only number available on Saturday is the sales line, which I am going to have to cajole into dealing with this.

Fucksake...from eBay this I can understand...

13:35 / 25.08.03

It's a list this time, of annoying things.

1) Microsoft Word thesaurus - because, for instance, it gives synonyms for 'trapped' as 'attentive', 'spellbound' etc. etc. How crap is that?
2) Those frigging Nissan Micra ads - 'Do you speak Micra?' No, I usually prefer not to hideously mangle language, thanks (no snide comments, please). Sturdy + Nimble = Stimble? Farrrk off, you fucks.
3) The fact that the garden is now reflected in the computer screen in a really distracting and annoying manner, since the computer got moved to accommodate a piano.
4) Enrolments for university courses. Hours of queuing and, well, just grrr... I'm dreading it already.
5) The fact that it hurts to swallow. Not my throat - my stomach, or some such thing. Even drinking hurts. Wtf is that about?
6) My general crapness.

I drink perdition to the AHRB. May their pompous, unimaginative souls scream tinnily in for ever. Rot their rancid, stinking, purulent brains; and sell thir collected works off for 50p the lot in discount bookshops across the land. I hope that no one ever cites any of their articles, and that they are held in utter disregard by all future generations of historians.

Madhur Jaeffrey can fuck right off. "Simply add four tablespoons of tikka marinade so it absorbs the spices..." What fucking marinade, you cunt? Hours I spent slaving away doing a curry according to her easy-to-follow-my-arse instructions, only to turn the page to find out that I was supposed to add a fucking marinade to the chicken. And where are the instructions for making tikka marinade?? Ten fucking pages further on in the book. Well, take your book and shove it up your flange, you torturous evil bitch.

11:52 / 26.08.03

FUCKING TRIPOD!! FUCKING FUCKERS!

Thoese fucking cunts at Tripod have decided to place banner ads inside EVERY GODDAMN PAGE ON MY SITE! I've only just re-designed the damn thing and their shitty ads have fucked the whole damn thing up! AND they've reduced the bandwidth! FUCK! They didn't even bother to send an email to tell us! Arseholes! If it weren't for us free webhosting users, they wouldn't even be in business. Fucking cunts.

Now I have to move the site somewhere else. Godfuckingarsedammit.

AAAAARGGGGHHH!!!!!

One week in and I'm already drowning in school work; mostly because I had planned to move to Holland this summer and therefore had thrown out all of my accomplishments -- big mistake as it turned out because everything that could conceivably go wrong went to shit. Which meant I had to continue school sans a load of work which I have to be finished with in the following months...

Hey! Client! I won't name any names, but you rhyme with NOKIA!

How about, if you feel like launching a site next Tuesday, you actually stick to that wisely informed decision instead of changing your mind on thursday that you want it on friday instead? How about, when you make me write about your products, you actually have an idea yourselves about your target market and what the hell the product does! How about you kiss my weekend-in-the-office ass!

Thank you. That is all.

11:10 / 29.08.03

You know when you have one of those days whatever you say and do is wrong, just once I'd like to have the opposite of that, you know just to see what life is like for normal humans!!

The BBC's 'Restoration' series, where viewers are shown 3 endangered buildings and asked to vote on which gets a cash injection to enable it to survive.

Haven't seen it, but the ad with a spiel along the lines of

'you choose which one survives, it's a matter of life or death for these three buildings'

urhggh.

waiting for the next pilot:

'you choose which one survives, it's a matter of life or death for these three children'

14:08 / 30.08.03

Grr. Some fuckwit wittering on about how the net killed slash's potential and gosh wasn't it all so much better in the good old days. Could you be any more closed-minded or lazy? So there's a lot of crap slash out there. There's a lot of fucking great slash out there, too, if you care to look, and this way it's accessible to people who might not have access to slash zines, or the cash to buy them, and so forth. And who are you to say that this fic or that fic doesn't deserve to live? FUCK OFF! Seriously. Just fucking fuck off.

14:15 / 30.08.03

And yeah, I so agree about Restoration. I haven't seen the programme, but just the advert made me think it was the evillest thing ever.

14:26 / 30.08.03

Does the Restoration show include the TV people dynamiting the other two buildings live? 'cause that would be REALLY evil.

Kent. Because 98% of it is shit. And it can't even do seaside towns properly. Deal is kind of almost okay, but Dover is like Brighton with none of the plus points at all. I could believe it if all the inhabitants of Dover cover their houses in plastic bags on the first of September each year and hibernate through to the 1st of May. There seems to be nothing there that isn't required by tourism or the ferry terminal. Dover people aren't xenophobic about the illegal immigrants, they're jealous that one way or another, they're going to be going somewhere else that ISN'T Dover. I'm just waiting for the population of Dover to get a Turkish/English dictionary, learn a few phrases, then get the Eurotunnel to France, smuggle themselves back to England on the ferry then apply for asylum, anything to get out of fucking Dover!

Actually I watched Restoration the other day and voted. They were in Northern Ireland, had these three buildings and one was a community art space that really needed to be saved. The twatty Arts Council had turned them down for funds... I think it could turn out to be a very worthwhile programme if they give the money to projects like that.

Re: Restoration on BBC2

The programme is actually great and mostly noble but, yes, the ad is a f***ing disgrace. It is at least misleading and possibly a total lie, as it suggests that the viewers' votes will determine the fate of all the buildings involved, ie those that lose the vote will DIE. The fact is - and this is made clear in the programme itself - that all of the buildings featured have an established campaign behind them, often with a great deal of money and/or public support already in the bag. The money generated by viewers' phone votes will simply be a big bonus to whichever building wins. Viewers might, therefore, secure the winning building's future, but they can not contribute to, or hasten, the demise of those buildings which do not win.

That's annoying, but not as annoying as the way the votes have been cast so far - anything that resembles a bog standard f***ing stately home wins every time, over more interesting non-residential / industrial stuff (such as the Coalhouse Fort on the Thames). Bah!

Goodness Gracious Meme

15:22 / 01.09.03

well, yes, that too.

16:47 / 03.09.03

Oh, well, that's good to know (re. 'Restoration' having the best of motives, even if only boring stuff wins). The advert *was* really disturbing though.

Ugh, depression. Fuck that. And fuck the fact that I always get depressed when I have to deal with people, because I start overanalysing everything and am desperate to please everyone and thus end up pleasing no one and dear sweet jesus I feel so fucking inadequate and crappy today that I could cry. I need to go away for a while, but I can't! I can't! For like at least a whole year. Oh fuckety fuckety fuck. And I need to move out, but I can't work it out at this moment and I'VE GOT SO MUCH WORK TO DO!!! Oh my GOD! My head will explode soon I swear.

17:46 / 04.09.03

And oh yeah, *blows raspberry* to the BBC for seemingly taking away Red Dwarf. It was on at midnight on a Thursday, for goodness sakes. What could possibly need that slot so desperately? And what am I supposed to use as raw material for my RD slash now, eh?
