Below are the “points” requirements needed to get into a local church of England school near where I live. If this wasn’t so depressing I think I’d be laughing out loud. It does occur to me that starting you own religion and declaring your house a temple would seem to be a fairly effective way of building up the required points for entrance. Still, I suspect they might see though that… ADMISSIONS POLICY FOR TWYFORD CE HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMIC YEAR […]
You can rate the performance of a Windows box to see how well it performs. You end up with a figure between 1.0 and 7.9 So that’s a useful scale then isn’t it? Why not between 1.0 and 6.9? That would at least be funny in a sniggering school boy sort of way. We have to resume that the software engineers at M$ are incapable of doing the rudimentary maths to convert this into a more logical scale. Oh and […]
I’ve been creating an animated progress bar in After Effects for a TV programme. So as I’m rendering this out I’m watching a progress bar rendering a progress bar… For an encore I was thinking of creating an animated kettle boiling.
At our post house we shred DVD’s we don’t need. This one happened to catch my attention…
It has been pointed out that I made a school boy error in my last post by not including the most necessary element in any engineering meal – a beer. I have recognised the error of my ways and corrected them. In best celebrity cook style I have improved my recipe with the addition of a a side salad of sun roasted DVD shreddings together with a dressing of lens cleaner. Enjoy!

Here’s one to file under the “Why the hell would you ever want to do that?” According to this blog post YouTube are now offering a 4K streaming service. There are a selection of clips to view here. Now before you all go rushing off to view them, I feel I should make a couple of observations. Firstly, Have you got you 4K monitor to hand? No? You surprise me. Well, you don’t to be honest because I’m not actually […]
Ever had this little irritation when trying to connect to shares on Windows machines? The unhelpful error message doesn’t give much away either – “Not enough server storage to process the command” Well, yes obviously. Never fear, there’s a registry hack to fix it. This must be applied to the destination (I.E. the PC you are trying to connect to) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet \Services \LanmanServer \Parameters IRPStackSize DWORD 0x0000000f (20) You’ll either find that […]
I was looking for a book on OS X for the already IT competent and got this result… It’s good to know I have “special needs”
Here’s a screen grab from the “Report a benefit thief online form” at the Department of Works and Pensions website. I think the person who came up with the items for the drop down menus has a wry sense of humour. Check it out here for more hilarity. Err, pink eyes? Presumably a raging alcoholic then?
