You know, that’s really not the best photo of Tim and Dave, is it?
Is it?
Allison’s sister, Jan, and Jan’s daughter — Allison’s niece, Sophie — look a bit better, don’t they?
But at least we’ve room for improvement, don’t we, boys?
Now I’ve got to admit, I think I’ve had a very long day, today: I was up at five, this morning, to go to an interview in Chelmsford: for an assistant manager’s job at Cherlmsford’s Star Co-op.
Whether I get it, I don’t know.
I hope so.
But will find out on Monday.
Wish me luck …
But, at any rate, I do know that while I was in Chelmsford, I managed to help Dave out with his CV and Web cam.
Doesn’t he go ON, Tim??
Which I think are now working, even if Dave — bless him — hasn’t quite got the hang of it.
Can’t say as I blame him, I know I’m not that familiar with ’em!
Any way, the other thing I had a look at for Tim, was one of the netbooks: think we’re going to have trouble installing UNR on to them, as — whilst they recognise that the USB drives with UNR on — they can’t boot from them.
And the Set-up Menu — accessible through hitting the ‘f1’ key — won’t grant access to anyone without the password.
Adrian, I think I might just be phoning you, at some point on this one … !

But one thing I have managed to track down is why Jan and Sophie’s printer won’t work …
I spent a fruitful — if mildly frustrating — half an hour, when I got back from Chelmsford, trying to find the various Ubuntu options for Jan and Sophie’s Lexmark M1270 printer.
Until — eventually — we figured out what the PC was doing: trying to download the relevant drivers from the ’Net.
Which was fairly pointless, as they’re not actually online.
Dongle time, I think …
your right pj thats not the best pic of us in the world but hey....... who cares. u r right dave does go on he has got the patience of a dog on heat in a field of bitches. if we had of had more time i think we would have got the cam pic and sound working at the same time, but norm being norm, if u click and it dont work its fucked...... lol. next time we r over there im sure it'll b working. well i hope u get the job m8 and thanks for looking at netbook ill find out the password and we can try agian, and as always it was a pleasure.
ReplyDeleteMy, pleasure, too, Tim!
ReplyDeleteI’m just hoping I get that one, meself: be a bit of a step up … !
And hopefully — if it that password’s nothing too specific — we may even get a hint from Adrian …
