I'm reading through the famous book and enjoying it a lot, having come back to the coding hobby after messing about with Java a few years ago, just because.

But I'm really intrigued about the possibility of automating my boring job and making my time at work more efficient.

Unfortunately, unlike those days back in the noughties when anyone with a basic login could install limewire at the office (I did!), I've noticed that it's quite impossible to install or run anything that isn't cleared by the IT guys and the many layers of access they administer.

So does this mean I'm out of luck? At my old work, my supervisor was able to install Magic Online on memory sticks and pass them round the of

In my office we use a web-based management information system to process all of our customer details. It’s a twenty year old database that runs in Internet Explorer 11, and is extremely user-UNfriendly.

The most frustrating aspect of the system is the Document Editor. We receive dozens of reports in Word or pdf format from our external contacts on a daily basis. In order for internal staff to produce reports in a consistent format, we fill out a web form which pulls information from the database and auto-fills all the relevant details into the template in the Document Editor window. At that point, we switch into Word or Reader and copy the body text, with all its indentation, line-spacing,

At my office, we have a daily task where we have to open upcoming appointments for the directors and paste a link to the relevant digital file on the shared drive into the Outlook event. This is done by hand and is extremely tedious. It’s also easy to duplicate work, as Outlook events are often moved between diaries or shifted in time.

As the title of each event begins with the customer account number - eg JP7687Y22 - and the digital file also begins with this number, I thought it might not be too difficult to automate this process. Have Outlook (or indeed windows) generate the hyperlink to the file automatically when it detects appointments that use that account number format (as opposed t

I gave away all my CDs about a decade ago. I don't buy them, or DVDs, or even Blu-Rays because my space is limited. I prefer digital.

But it was nice to know i had a disc player in the house, just in case, such as when a friend bought me a blu-ray box set last year.

Well that same friend just bought me a CD for Christmas, and this afternoon I put the PS4 on for a listen, only to be disappointed that CDs are unsupported. There isn't even a download you can pay for in the store to make it work. FUCK YOU SONY.

So we recently switched from XP to Windows 10 (yes that's a big jump!) and in the process started using office365, moving all our calendars and mailboxes to Outlook 2016. The central IT department did all this and it was a relatively smooth transition.

Now unlike most of my colleagues who only had to set up their new PCs once, I hotdesk, so I'm using a different PC every day. As a result I go through a short process of registering my account and setting up my profile each time I use a new machine. Thankfully this is now rare because I've spent months getting on all the PCs in the building.

However, on one particular machine, after I set up, I started getting all the reminder notifications

It took me ten days of ebaying and hunting through charity shops, but my 11th doctor costume is complete.

I'm going for early 11th style, with fez, but have a cyberman helmet that I've made into Handles just for extra prop points. Naturally I have the appropriate screwdriver and psychic paper as well.

I'm attending a small, local con with a costume contest this weekend. The rules say there will be a costume parade, followed by the opportunity to "show the judges what you can do as your character", and this bit has me stumped. I could do a verbal impression, but I don't think there will be a microphone available.

So I'm wondering what would be a quintessential 11th Doctor move I could do o

SPEZ:

As is pointed out in comments below, Count Dankula may not have been found guilty as is stated in the original post. (left untouched for context). However, people are prosecuted successfully for offensive speech in the UK, so feel free to substitute Dankula for another example. I will be sure to make a further update when the Dankula verdict comes out.

Lately the freedom gap between the USA (where speech is protected for all) and the rest of the world has been widening. Not least in the UK where o

Rookie mistake.

I'm a just cause n00b, but I'm enjoying liberating small towns and generally blowing shit up. However, I cannot progress in the missions because I can't find Mario.

I've done Act 1, Mission 3, and whenever Mario comes on the radio he says he'll meet me outside of town. Where do I go?

I pre-ordered the disc and just collected it this morning. I expected to find a flyer inside with a code for the Glorious Regime content (like the code for a digital comic in the TWD version), but there was nothing.

How did people get the map to show on their edition of the game?

Bob is a somewhat inexperienced blue pill man in his late thirties with a notch count of two or three (certainly no more than five). Bob is scared to leave Rita, his older, unattractive LTR, despite having wanted out for over ten years. He has recently begun an affair with Sue, an even older low SMV woman (albeit marginally better looking and in much better health).

In my view, the appearance of Sue in Bob's life was the ideal excuse for him to blow up the LTR with Rita. But Bob is too beta to rock the boat and fears the social shaming that might come from his family and wider social group, given that Rita is dependent on him for financial support, is in poor health, and the fact that they

Does anyone have any tips on how best to animate a short legged minifigure walking? Obviously the short legs are rigid and can't be made to walk in the standard way. How do people work around this, with hopping? By not showing anything below the waist?

I was thinking of using long legs, and perhaps squashing them in post, or trying to get away with not showing that character moving on screen...

Any thoughts on this are appreciated.
