F-Stop Junkie

Hmmmm Koxx Levelboss frame - Moved the whole game on overnight Hope Trial disc - God knows we tried every other idea with discs. Was nice to have one that seems that work for everyone Heatsink Middleburn bash - For when we knew no better than wanting to cover a 32 tooth ring to try and keep the bike rideable I'd also like w-i-d-e bars too, but they weren't too bad way back when.

E30 BMW 3 series? They've reached a low in price, but cheap parts, lots of spares in breakers yards, and lots of specialists if needs be. Plus rear wheel drive, and lots of engine choices. They're starting to be bought up by track drivers to be converted into track cars so it'll be increasingly difficult to find a good one. Prices will soon start going up!

~Checks previous pages....~ Nope, it's actually about the values of novellists in the early to mid 1900s, and how we look at those moral choices now in light of our current culture. Who'd have thought TF could be so high brow. Have a cat.

What's *that* got to do with Star Trek? Stay on topic!

Screw them both, you need some facial hair. Call the hirsuite man!

Would you dare take the risk? She has form, and will kill again if provoked*. *Provoked is not the same as Provost, which is quite a high local office in the church. It's definately a noun and not a verb. Despite what young people might come up with, you can not be provosted into klling or maining.

"We'll give them some medicine, let them sleep while we - allegedly - attend a swingers night and get poked every which way." A few hours later... "That's *not* Calpol? D'oh... Quick, you raise the alarm while I hide the body..." Yup, TF. It gets edgy when it's late, and there's been a f**king earthquake Meh, plates wobble, waddyagonnado?

I'm guessing he's not a fan?

Holy Moly! That Flemming was quite the bigot! Anyway, James Bond. Worst. Spy. Ever.

Remember, cats can feel the tremours too...

Oh come on, the earthquake thing is so... ~checks watch~ an hour ago. We've moved on...

Then James said "You, negro chap! Go get me that totty so I can give her six of the best for Her Majesty over this ornate grand piano!" I'd LOVE to hear Daniel Craig say that

You're twisted Sir. In some countries you'd be burned at the stake, here the only punishment is moderating a trials based Internet forum, and seeing the same pubescent questions coming up every six months... Hmmm, I hear a chopper being scrambled.

Tried that, just not the same.

But if she can see into the future, then time can not be linear, and consent before, during or after could applied either actively or retroactively so even if she let it happen, her consent might only come after so for a short time you'd be sharing a cell with a friendly man called Beth who 'just wants a cuddle'

Hehehe. Long term being hundreds of years... Cooter eh? Struggling to see the resemblence:

Enough earthquake talk, we need something AWESOME!

Ah, the furry cup, the triangle of delight, the magical land of Narnia... All this cooter talk is utter rhubarb! Christ, I'm still wired. Sleeping will be fun tonight. Seriously, what's the etymology of 'cooter' ? No the first time, and no the second time

'get cooter'? What lingo is this you're speaking dear boy? Can you elaborate? ~makes sweeping Russel Brand type gesture~

But that's average for an earthquake It was an earthquake for Jimny's sake! We survived the Great Earthquake of 2008! They don't happen that often! It's like Haley's comet or a Senior Member getting laid!

Apparently 4.7 on the Richter scale, epicentre in Hull in Lincolnshire.

QUAKE!!! Do it again! That was cool, if a bit scary. f**k, I'm buzzing now!

Some of it is, some of it isn't. A lot more universities these days are doing routing protocols, the 7 layer model, etc... These will only give you so much though, as a lot of the concepts that come up in specific courses/exams are specific to certain companies or products. If you take a Cisco course, the inital ones cover a lot of the general network information, but then also cover how to configure the products, how best to set them up, and also cover non-standard, Cisco-proprietory protocols like HSRP (I think) and EIGRP. The exams are not quite half and half, but the pass mark is up around 85%. If you know BGP for example, but have no idea how to configure it, then you won't pass the exams. Some of the stuff that comes up as well is sales type stuff. "Which of these is NOT protected against by Acme SuperProtect? a) Ping of Death, trojan attack, c) Death By Chocolate" I've done some courses with Knowledge Tree, and some with Global Knowledge. 5 days, pretty intensive, not cheap but you come away knowing the subject and you have practical experience. You still need practise though before you can take exams, or have a very good knowledge retention! If you're doing it for career reasons, have a look through job adverts and see what people are asking for. MCSEs and the like are ten a penny as people do courses that will just get them through the exam. You'll see a lot looking for Prince2 project management (with salaries to match!) because the Prince2 qualification is hard to get and there are few looking for jobs with it. Get the bits of paper, because those might get you in the door, but experience will count for a lot. A MCSA with 5 years experience will get more jobs than an MCSE with no experience.

It all depends if you've got The Cert of the moment. Some CCNPs I know in London are made very good offers, but it's backed up with many years experience in large network environments. Similarly the voice certification is worth having at the moment, but it'll become commodity in time. Some of the course content is very worthwhile, it's easy to be sniffy about 'just doing your job' but when you're dealing with designs from a clean sheet of paper then knowing what you're doing from the start will ensure a correct implementation. Same with knowing upgrades, working with tested code versions and so on. You can't f**k about with this stuff when you're dealing with work that if it goes wrong could kill the business in a whole country. I'm not saying that for dramatic effect btw, I've been in that situation. Yes, some of it is nonsense, or stating the bleeding obvious, but some of it is VERY worthwhile! Get a good employer, they'll pay for training and certification.
