According to the Quackometer, simes.org warrants (or at least warranted at the time of posting) two Canards:
This web site is using alternative medicine terms. It shows little or no critical thought and so should be treated with caution!
No critical thought, indeed. Were it possible for one web site to slap another with some kind of Internet Glove, simes.org would be doing so right now.
Today is actually day 2 of being ill, as yesterday was so bad I spent the entire day in bed with a headache the size of Nuneaton.
Now, you may be thinking, “Nuneaton only has a population of just under 71,000, it’s not that big.”
Well, I think you’ll find that if you tried to cram it into your skull, it would ache quite a bit.
In summary, being ill sucks. We now return you to your regularly scheduled internets.
Last night, while making hot chocolate, I discovered that the mug I was making it in was among the least microwave-safe mugs in the world.
The reason? After two minutes in the microwave, the contents were beginning to get warm, but the handle was hot enough to raise blisters.
How rubbish is that?
It’s a small and petty thing, I know, but I really do wish people would look at the message the ticket barrier displays to them rather than just yanking the ticket out and then standing and staring dumbly at the non-opening barrier for about 30 seconds. Everyone would benefit.
When an ACU PgM has a project demand with a potential ITO request (and vice versa), relevant PM/PgM will contact ITO SPoC PgM, introduce the project/requirements and will ask for ITO engagement.
Everyone got that? Good.

Last week I unplugged the hard drive in my second PC, plugged in a spare one, and installed the beta of Vista Ultimate in order to check out a couple of things. I haven’t used it enough to come to any conclusions about the OS as a whole, and the main thing I wanted to try out didn’t work. Betas and all that. Hey ho.
However. Yesterday evening I disconnected the Vista hard disk and plugged the Windows 2000 drive back in. And the machine refused to boot.
How on earth can the Vista install have hosed a disk that wasn’t even plugged in?
I used to suffer from a near-permanent low-grade cold. These days, most of the time I’m fine but I occasionally get a four-day virus thing which completely knocks me flat.
This is day 3. It is the suck.
I’ve just not been posting. Hopefully this new LJ crossposter plugin will work and then I’ll be a bit more likely to update.
I’ve chucked a new permanent page on the site, Code and Stuff, which will have any neat snippets of code I write and feel like sharing with the world.
First item: Xbox Live gamercard parser in php.
