Frickin’ Telstra! 5

So I got a call on the land line a few seconds ago...

Me: "Hello, Matt speaking."
Indian Woman: "Hello, Mr Lambie?
Me: "Yeah, speaking."
Indian Woman: "Hi I'm calling from Telstra. I want to make sure you're getting the maximum discount on your land line."
Me: "Yeah, I'm sure you do. I'm actually quite busy at the moment."
Indian Woman: "Well when is a good time to call back?"
Me: "Never. Thanks, bye."

If only I didn't need a land line for the ADSL...Steve, when were you going to price me up that damn wifi access?

No HIV 5

I told you so.

We have a software product called Aurora, which is a content management system that clients use to keep their website updated. We use the open source JavaScript embedded FCKEditor to provide an intuitive interface to the HTML code. This works wicked.

We have clients on Windows. They copy and paste text from Word, PDF documents and other web sites. This works fine under Linux, but is borgensteined on some Windows installs. The clipboard rips out spacing and makes the text all nasty-formatted. Replacing the clipboard with some other crap shareware thing didn't solve it.

Has anyone seen this before?

The problem we have is that it's intermittent. Sometimes it works in Windows, sometimes it doesn't. It always works for us.

Seriously, I'm thinking of making a custom Ubuntu LiveCD that loads Firefox and opens their website in Aurora.

Lets get ready to rumble! Comments Off

Those that read lambie.org regularly will know that for the last few months I've been training in Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu, and loving it.

There's a fight-night happening in Lesmurdie next Saturday (November 19th) which I'm interested in going to. So far Adam and Radford have said they're keen too, and I'm looking at making numbers and getting tickets.

From what I can tell it'll mostly be kick boxing, which I'm not all that interested in. The mixed martial arts (MMA) stuff will have some grappling and that's what I'm keen to check out. Tickets are $30 for grandstand, or $25 general admission. I think a seat is worth the extra fiver.

I'll get tickets tomorrow or Wednesday, so get in touch with me if you're interested, or sort yourself out and see us there.

Wiggin’ out 5

I've had a bunch of cold 'n' flu tablets and I'm seriously trippin' out! This is madness.
