I just put up a curtain pole. I knew it would be a complete cunt drilling into the walls as there was a curtain pole there before... sure enough, the plaster crumbled as soon as I even looked at it.
Took me 45 minutes in the end to do a ten minute job!
Anyway, I've just treated myself to a bag of flamin' hot monster munch to cheer myself up. I have a "review" at the job centre later... That should be fun!

Couldn't you have used the existing drilled holes?
Good luck at the review!

I could have done but they weren't in the right places, plus.. I'd already filled them (or so I thought!)
Thanks for the good luck. Hopefully it won't last long... It's not like I'm not looking for jobs like some of the people they deal with.

Review - 'Not as nice as Roast Beef flavour'
Have we mentioned this yet? Moscow airport terror mirrors video game
Quote:
“Indeed it is a trouble to look at the game and reality. The issue is we need to know if terrorists or extremists are using these videos or DVDs or games to basically apply the model,” Walid Phares, Director of Future Terrorism Project at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said.
Quote:
“I think those who have been radicalized already – that is supposed in this case jihadists, Al-Qaeda or other kind – they look at the games and say these games will serve them to train,” Walid Phares added.

I hope he's right, because if so, those people will be the most easily thwarted TRRRRSTS ever, convinced that they can heal even the most severe injuries by sitting behind a desk for a bit.
Let's hope they then go on to play a bit of Viva Pinata, and start sneaking into the country to sell us some lovely carrots.

Of course, as he never took the oath he could have immediately disqualified himself by trying to sit on one of the green benches, which would have been the more fun way of doing it.

bigshift2009p1.txt
bigshift2008p2.txta
bigshift2009p2.txta
1 file(s) copied.

What were you expecting?
I wouldn't expect .txta files to be copied.
If it's an older version of DOS, the pattern matching won't support anything longer than X.3, so it'll truncate then match.
I was going to say, file extensions greater than three characters won't be supported, so I guess any file with txt as the first three characters of their file extension would've been processed by the command.
Since bigshiftpos1.txt is the 'destination', I assume all five text files were actually merged into this one file, hence 'one file copied'? (Malc, is this the case? Check with Notepad or summat)
God, it's been a while since I looked at anything DOS, at least 20 years.

right, ok,
Basically I had 4 text files in a folder (shift information for 2 tills from 2008 and 2009) that were .txt files, and I wanted the quickest way of combining them together by till, so I renamed the files for till 2 to .txta and did
Code:
copy *.txta destination1.txta
then all I thought I had to do was:
Code:
copy *.txt destination2.txt
howver that included all 3 files with the .txta extension too. I got round it by changing the extentions to .txtb, but I really don't think I should have to.
Obviously copy supports things being greater than 8.3, but it must have an issue with assuming all files are 8.3 if either some of the source files are 8.3 or if the destination is 8.3
and just to repeat this is with XP service pack 3 using cmd (not command.com)

Doing some work for a company who've sold something they can't develop, and have consequently come to us begging to licence the system we've built. I've just taken a look at their web site, and the strap-line in their logo reads ‘Intelligence Solutions’; I look at the rest and can't for the life of me figure out what the fuck they actually do. Sometimes I despair.
They solve intelligence.

It is what B&B is for.
On the plus side, I've found some excellent jobs and have been updating my CV. Tomorrow night and probably all of Sunday I'll be applying for stuff. One in particular is pretty much ideal, and is even in a city I've been looking for an excuse to live in for about two years. Might this be the end of all the world's problems? It just might, Timmy. It just might.
