What were you all doing in 1990 ? @mikechannon et al
Hey Midget, happy birthday. It was mine on the 21st, a good month for birthdays
In 1990 - I was programming my TI85 calculator and getting a bollocking for not paying attention during my A-Level maths classes... I loved that calculator Girls were, and continue to be, a complete mystery.

Ha, that sounds like me! I was the only one in my school with a ti-graph link, and was always being asked to load up someones calc with drugwars, pong, etc. And making stupid password scripts, and number guessing crap. The real hard part was explaining to my english teacher why I needed a graphing calculator for her lesson...
Happy Birthday midget and ViJay

lol, we still do that with TI85's, and still get bollockings from a-level maths teachers
however i have to disagree about the girls, it was my girlfriends birthday on the 22nd, and we have been together almost 7 months now
March is definatly a good month
7 months? Super cereal!

is that sarcasm?
Not at all! Merely in the context of my "Geeky no-mates" posts, 7 months is a very cereal relationship. Be careful, next thing you know, you're better half is popping out babies and you wish you had more time for programming

oh ok
i hope not, it would ruin my chances for university (planning on studying computer engineering for 5 years in iceland)
I try not to think about that at the same time as my missus, makes me feel bad
Anyhow, gotta live for today, and stop thinking about what has/could happen
Don't worry Midget, when it happens, it happens.
Planning is better, but if and when the bubba comes along, go with it. I was never the particularly paternal type, but my little v is the best thing I could ever have done. Fortunately my input was limited to a good 30 seconds of work, so Mrs V takes credit for the remaining 21772770. It obviously shows - little v is a cute bugger, unlike me.

Hi guys
Off topic from electrickery and need a little guidance ,to the forum mods this isn't so much a question more of a plee for help
There,s far more brains on this forum than i could ever wish to meet so your time is very much appreciated
Ok i work for a local firm running fast launch services ie pilot boats , stores medivacs , tug boats and so on , we run 3 crews of 2 persons 24 7 / 365
so at the moment were rotating on 7 days 12 hour shifts into 7 nights 12 hour shifts into 7 days off repeat
This morning we find out that one of our guys who retires in feb this year will not be getting replaced due to financial gain of the company and also the shipping world are struggling /cutting back so work is pretty lean
we have all been racking our brains on how to cover these hours with 5 guys in a sensible manner but could do with some pointers on the situation as this isn,t our field ,
Any help /previous experience with this would be most most welcome
again thanks for your time people
any reply to this is warmly received
Regards
Alfie
I am presently retired after 24 years as an Administrative Assistant for a property management company.
Cutbacks caught me 3 yrs before official retirement. Just the way it is, the technology changes so fast the kids
know the computer like we knew longhand division. But, I am enjoying my family. And my husband has a few
more years. And this is the time to enjoy the family and travel. Camp and fishing, etc. Thank you for the opportunity
to hopefully find some help. My son told me "Mom, you raised us by yourself and for that. Here is your phone with
a cover with "You are my sunshine" picked out by my grandkids. The song they still sing with me.
" We don't want you to think about paying for your phone, ever." I was very moved.
They realize times were tight, but I have 2 wonderful and successful sons, that I am so proud of.
And four (4) wonderful grandkids Harley she is 16- Wesslee he is 14.
And my younger son has 3-year-old twins a boy and a girl. Quade and Olivia. So I enjoy the best of both worlds. Sports, etc,
and then babies all over again. Life is wonderful. In the middle of all that I found a Very good man. Neither of us was EVER going to marry again.
And that was 16 yrs ago. He is my daughter-in-law's Uncle. Now I am not so mad about my phone but I hope for some help somewhere.

Hi, my name is Jose and I was born when TV was black and white, I built my first computer in 1986 it was a 386 w/ 40 meg of a HD and 512 bts of RAM LOL from then on computers have been a hobby as work and family took over. I do have programming knowledge but I'm not a programmer I know my way around a computer , unfortunately my health has been deteriorating so I simply can not spend as much time as I would like in front of one. Cell phone knowledge is limited but I believe I understand the principles of it : software in a small communication device .I have an Android which is a program that I'm not familiar with but since most programming languages are similar in a basic manner I guess with some help I can fix my phone, I figured. English is not my first language so forgive my grammar. I think I do well on this. I'm home now because of my health so I have time to dwell into this but again can't spend more than 30 or 40 minutes at the time in the computer ( sitting for long time is a painful problem ) I would inmensely appreciate any help from you young guys whom were born into this era or time with so much knowledge at your disposition , believe when I say that coming from Southamerica , we would have love this , having the net and everything it has to offer, the good I mean , the bad ,oh well we can learn to deal with it and go on with life. Greetings from an old dude. I joined the forum because I would like not to have to spend another $1000 in a new cellphone and also I'm stubborn and think that my cell does have a fix and I can find it.
