The Psychopaths Are Trying To Run The Asylum
One news story stood out on the BBC this lunchtime. It was all about how jogging has been banned in Burundi and can get you many years in jail.
I noticed this paragraph in the story.
The 49-year-old president, for his part, remains an enthusiastic consumer of team games – football in particular.
He has his own side, Hallelujah FC, for whom, according to government leaflets, he plays as a striker and often scores goals.
So it’s not just Muslim fanatcs who are three parts round the bend.
The news is depressing with more fighting and massacres in Iraq due to ISIS, dozens killed in Kenya by Al Shabab, kidnappings in Israel probably by Hamas and all the Boko Haram troubles in Nigeria.
Although those four seem to say they support Islam, many of those they kill seem to be Muslims too!
I sometimes think that this section of mindless violence will only end when the various divisions have eliminated each other.
It just gets more depressing!
Let’s Have Some Rules For Software!
I am in the process of moving my contacts and e-mails from a Windows Vista computer with Outlook 2007 to another with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010, as the first computer has a disc fault, that means you can’t use Outlook. I can’t even copy or zip the Outlook file, which I suspect means it’s seriously fucked.
I have backups of everything I need from perhaps thirty days ago. But of course you then have the problem of transferring the data from one format to the other.
My preferred solution would have been just to buy a new Windows Vista computer with Outlook 2007, but of course that’s not possible, even if I don’t need support.
So I’m stuck in the process of transferring data from one data format to the other.
I would assume the transfer system was designed by an idiot who was as cruel as Stalin or Hitler, with the intelligence of the Prince Regent as portrayed in Blackadder. Dl Microsoft sub-contract their program design to Boko Horam or ISIS.
Surely, if you want to transfer data from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2010, it should be just a matter of opening the file in the new program and then letting the program do all the work!
It’s been similar with transferring from my Galaxy S4 to S5, where things are all different and some features don’t even exist.
I suppose computer companies don’t see us as consumers who know what we want, but idiots to be ripped-off.
A Peer-to-Peer Lender Goes Bust
I have read this report in the Telegraph about a peer-to-peer lender called YES-secure which has gone bust.
But the good news, is that all investors in their peer-to-peer lending business will be repaid in full.
Why Would You Ever Wash Chicken?
My mother always told me, that you should cook all meat properly.
C never washed any meat either. In fact she didn’t really liked touching it, so often I was the one to put it in the dish for cooking.
So I have never washed any meat before cooking.
So now with reports that washing chicken actually spreads disease, I’m tempted to say my mother knew best.
