Smash the window, buy 10 rolls of Gaffer tape mate, criss cross the ole where the window was, be careful if drivers side as your head can stick to the tape. Open = rip here Close= apply tape here, simplez.

Thanks for that, I know about it, ads etc they don't appear anywhere to me 8)

I have old server and network level IT qualifications, old and not refreshed though. I had a business installing massive RAID servers and fibre data links at the start of Non-linear video editing a few decades ago and Mac networks for business,,,but very rusty on the higher tech available now ( all Mac here). If I think about how I held all that info and a lot more in my head I feel dizzy, I cannot imagine that I could do it now!

So that means I can quickly say that that website is broken etc etc with everything being cushty here, or is it Kushty ? ;)

That's most government sites to be honest. One of my friends at Uni went to work for them in IT and left after a couple of years because everything was b0rked and to fix it you had to fill out 100 different forms and toss some senior civil servant off. He told them to stick the job where the sun don't shine and went to work for Facebook for a few years (in the times before they were evil).

Don't envy you the task of dealing with Mac's. Those are truly evil machines to work with. Kind of a bastard Unix environment, but nothing like Solaris or even pure SCO. They had an optional module at Uni to learn how they worked and how to use and configure them. I did Linux shell scripting instead. We had some guy come to the Uni from Apple. A couple of guys on my course went to it and they said people who work for that company are definitely the great unwashed, well Steve Jobs apparently didn't shower due to thinking being a fruitarian precluded the need for doing that and this guy who turned up to give the presentation absolutely stank, so maybe it's a company rule. Join Apple and throw personal hygiene out the window.

Well today has been a strange day. I was doing some painting so thought, edibles. I had a couple of pieces of flapjack this morning and I thought it hadn't worked, until i walked into Tesco to buys something for lunch and whoa like super stoned, with everything glimmering like the shards of light you get from glass and diamonds, but overlaid on everything. I just carried on regardless. It made things more interesting and made a boring activity, less boring.

So once I got back in I hit up the vape, which is still loaded with yesterdays High Silver and the three hit rule went out the window, I had a fair few more than that. So I am quite mellow and enjoying typing this stuff up. :)

With you on Govdotbarf.

Don't agree with all you say about Macs though, an old friend of mine has his name on the inside of the case of certain earlyish Apples with the great smelly one, mind you he was very sweaty and grizzly come to think of it. Macs made my living for some years, I occasionally offline edited in the field with a souped up Pismo powerbook and a pile of very noisy scsi drives. Please don't lets talk about scsi. I even have a garage pile of older models so I am probably smelly too!

No offence taken :LOL:

I find the Windows environment horrific, but had to use it for some stuff, other than that my apples set themselves up... mostly. I also spent a lot of time on it years ago as a hobbyist flashing radios and uhm certain black boxes. The guys who installed and maintained fibre channel kit,( some Cisco & Broadcom iirc which these days seems to be losing out to NAS & tcp/ip in media production contexts for reasons I'm not aware of , likely cost) spoke Venusian and used unix for kit set up iirc .... over my head, I just paid them and used their installation to join my ends together 8)
 
I'm a child of SCO. A family friend gifted me a unix computer, back in the late 70's and I spent a lot of time messing with it (as a 5 year old). I then went into the BBC Micro family for a while (parents that were teachers so there was generally always one available at holidays) and from there to ZX Spectrum and the QL. Then to IBM x86 arch. I don't use Windows. I'm a Linux user and have been for the last 30 or so years, ever since Slackware 6. And yes to SCSI. I have a 2u server sat on a wardrobe (i'm looking at it now, collecting dust), dual quad xeon and the only computer I have that has SCSI and RAID (10). Built it for a company along with the sql database that ran on it. About four years later a box arrived at my door with it in. They sent it back to me because they thought I loaned it to them, lol. Apparently it never broke down and just did the job it was supposed to. It's a museum piece now. My current Ryzen build blows it away ten times over in pure power and storage.

I did do some Cisco courses long ago, CCNA and CCSA. Not really my cup of tea but I had to do them for work (couldn't see the point since we had network engineers on site 24/7), I liked to build servers and install Linux on them. I liked working in datacentres where no one bothered you and you could get on with work without distractions. Very few of those, but they do exist. Nowadays I don't do computers full stop, well not professionally. I still have computers and servers, did do some gaming servers for a while, but building servers and doing RHCE sort of stuff, not any more.

Yeah sorry, I wasn't sure if you were a Mac freelancer or a Mac user. I am not. I have used them occasionally and am told that BSD is pretty much what OSX is based on, so they have similarities to Unix and Linux. But i've never owned one. I'm a gamer and Macs don't really do games.
