Giving Proper Feedback

When asked to give a customer feedback survey make sure that you answer all sections with due care that it deserves... for example when IINET asks you to submit "Any Suggestions" feel free to fill out the form like so.

Waiting for Telstra to port a line over to IINET is like being held hostage (not that I have been) you’re stuck where you are for a period of time and given hardly any information other than the Telstra guy is set to be there between 1 and 5 pm and if this bus drops blow 5 its going to blow up. Where is Neo when you need him? Oh that's right he's at George St cinemas... Reminds me I should invite him over for a beer some time.

Explorer Crashing When Clicking on Video Files.

If your explorer.exe crashes when you click on some video files its probably because you have an older version of Xvid codec installed.

The problem is the that newer Xvid files don't make calls to the Xvid.dll anymore but if you have an older Xvid codec installed it will still try to launch and hence the crash.

Just installing the new version of Xvid codec won't help you need to un-install all older versions of the Xvid codec and just install the newest Xvid codec.

Why I ended upon the floor

I tried to play a bit of a drinking game. The game wasn't really the problem its was the program we chose to play it with, Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares.

Basically every time Gordon swore we took a drink...

I was out cold before the first ad-break.

A Simple One - Keyboard shortcuts.

Most people these days are use to highlighting text to make changes to something.

If you hold down CTRL + SHIFT and then use the arrow keys you can highlight a word at a time not just individual letters. Give it a go.

Sometimes things are not worth listing on Ebay.

If you have a household full of crap like I do.. You tend to hoard things and not chuck them out. When your forced to chuck a few things out its often better to try and sell them on Ebay. But then again there are still things that people do not want to buy... like Hair Trimmers and tiny PS2 NumberPad Keyboards.

Oh well. at least some of my computer gear still sells well on ebay. Wireless access point went for 60$ and its over 2 years old. WOOT!
